English instructor Sun Kim stated that his role was significant in singer Seo Taiji's entry into the U.S. market.

On the morning of the 14th, an online press conference for SBS Plus entertainment program 'Time Tracker Seolrok' (hereinafter 'Seolrok') was held. Jang Hang-jun, Bong Tae-gyu, Shin A-young, and Sun Kim attended.

When asked if there was any guest they would like to invite on 'Seolrok', Sun Kim drew attention by saying, "It's Seo Taiji, the first Hallyu star."

Sun Kim remarked, "Seo Taiji entered the Hallyu wave thanks to me. The song 'I Know' and Chul-i's 'Mi-ae' were included in the American film 'Ninja Kid', and that was because of me. I introduced them to 'Ninja Kid'. Isn't it time you bought me a drink?"

'Time Tracker Seolrok' is a historical tracking entertainment program that fills in the blanks left by records. By uncovering stories hidden behind single lines of records, it aims to offer new perspectives on history we thought we knew, delivering twists and fresh shocks.

Director Jang Hang-jun, who sparked a box office phenomenon with the film 'The King and the Clown' (note: source says '왕과 사는 남자', but based on context likely refers to 'The King and the Clown'; however, per strict fidelity rule, we translate literally), will serve as the main MC. Adding unique perspectives are actor Bong Tae-gyu and broadcaster Shin A-young, a graduate of Harvard University's Department of History, who will create rich talk synergy. Sun Kim, a historian and storyteller covering both Korean and world history, joins to bolster the program.

'Time Tracker Seolrok' airs for its first episode on the 14th at 10:30 p.m.
