The masterpiece SBS special "Strange Zoo," which changed our view of animals, has been nominated for the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards in the broadcasting sector (culture).

According to SBS on the 14th, the SBS special "Strange Zoo" (directed by Baek Si-won) has been nominated for the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards in the broadcasting sector (culture). It is said that it courageously illuminated the sad bare face of the zoo created by human selfishness beyond the existing frame that simply displays the cute appearance of animals.

The "Strange Zoo," which was broadcast in a two-part series, opened with the story of an investigator who was called the "rib lion" and angered the whole nation. The camera calmly followed the process of a lion suffering with only bones left in a narrow and poor kennels moving to Cheongju Zoo to start a new life and step on the soil.

Producer Baek Si-won was highly appreciated for the authenticity of the work in that he suggested alternatives for our society to move forward. It sheds light on the zoo's role as a Sanctuary to protect animals that cannot return to the wild, and has provided a decisive opportunity to recognize animals as life to be respected rather than as something to be 'consumed'. This authenticity of the production team led to social discourse on animal rights after the broadcast.

The 'Strange Zoo', which sympathizes with animal suffering and holds humans accountable, proved its value in existence just by selecting candidates. Expectations are high on how this work, which chose the record of truth, will bear fruit in the white statue.
