'Cultwo Show' has changed someone's life. DJ Kim Tae-kyun, who has been with 'Cultwo Show' for 20 years, cited "stories of listeners whose lives were changed" as the most memorable moments.

Kim Tae-kyun said, "A person once called to say they were taking a taxi to make an extreme choice. While listening to 'Cultwo Show' on the radio in the taxi, they unexpectedly started laughing and thought, 'I'm laughing right now,' which changed their mind. They later sent a message saying they decided to continue living." He added, "I felt a great sense of fulfillment when I heard that person went on to live their life again."

It didn't stop there. 'Cultwo Show' also helped reconnect severed relationships. Kim Tae-kyun shared, "A man sent a story asking for a second chance with his ex-wife seven years after their divorce. Normally, I wouldn't have featured such a story, but I read it that day. The two actually reconciled and even came to the studio as audience members together."

'Cultwo Show's' positive influence did not end there. Kim Tae-kyun explained, "A listener once complained about having no toilet paper, and a nearby listener personally delivered some. There were also cases where a stolen vehicle was found after being announced on the show, and people were helped in finding rare blood types."

The reason such diverse stories could continue was the high level of listener participation. He said, "This is possible because people listen simultaneously from all over the country." He added, "I felt that radio plays a role beyond simple broadcasting—it connects people."

Given 'Cultwo Show's' significant influence, its leader, Kim Tae-kyun, feels a strong sense of responsibility. He shared, "I struggled with panic disorder and depression, and some people who listened to the show and felt better came to see me in tears."

Kim Tae-kyun stated, "Whenever that happens, I feel I cannot treat this time lightly." He also expressed his sense of mission: "For some, 'Cultwo Show' is not just entertainment but a time that helps them endure life. That's why I strive to do my best every day."
