“I want to invite musicians who can speak English and talk to them about music. I want to dig deep into the K-pop scene and we’re preparing a section with lyricist Kim Eana. There are many people in Korea today who speak good English even with no overseas experience,” she said.
“One Fine Day” will begin airing on Sept. 4, Mondays to Fridays at 5:10 p.m.
KBS World Radio, an English-language radio channel, plans to expand its services and programming starting Sept. 4 in all areas such as reporting, culture and entertainment. It will launch a 24-hour English service on the KBS Radio mobile app Kong.
