1. Baek Jong-won, this time exploring the ‘national drink’ soju!
Soju Rhapsody Part 1 - The Power of the Green Bottle, first broadcast on KBS 1TV at 10 PM on the 23rd (Thursday) To Koreans, asking for a drink means 'let's have a drink of soju', and congratulations or consolation can sometimes be replaced by saying 'let's have a drink of soju'. Koreans shared their joys and sorrows with clear, cold soju, and the history of soju is the history of the curved Korean Peninsula, making it an indispensable subject in the Rhapsody series that talks about K FOOD and Korean food. The green bottle that symbolizes soju is actually diluted soju, not traditional soju. Korea's diluted soju, which is also the world's best-selling distilled liquor brand, is the most familiar substance that is by our side in both happy and sad times. We visit a distillery and a soju factory and look into the history and manufacturing process of diluted soju. For Koreans, green bottle soju was a friend they shared through the turbulent times of the past 50 years, and the words ‘let’s have a glass of soju’ contained all the joys and sorrows. The history of Suzhou is also the history of our modern and contemporary history. Another thing that cannot be left out in our soju culture is bombju. Diluted soju in a green bottle is an icon representing Korea's food culture and a liquor that embodies our industrialization. → MoaPic!
