Broadcaster Hwang Hyun-hee has been selected as the new host of KBS 1 radio evening discussion program "KBS Open Debate" (hereinafter referred to as "Open Debate").

"Open Debate," which is broadcast on KBS 1 radio from 7:20 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. every day, is a representative debate program that has led various topics such as politics, economy, and society to the forum since it was broadcast as the first "daily" debate program in broadcasting history in 2003.

■ Comedian to Current Affairs Expert - Hwang Hyun-hee's New Challenge

Hwang Hyun-hee made her debut as a comedian for KBS's 19th open recruitment in 2004 and appeared on various current affairs entertainment broadcasts and acted as an MC and current affairs critic. Hwang Hyun-hee will take on the new host of the open discussion, showing her side as an outspoken, pleasant, and professional current affairs presenter. In addition, the "Open Discussion" is expected to approach listeners in a more friendly manner with a new host.

■ Debate is not difficult - a public forum for all

The core of this reorganization is the realization of a 'real open discussion'. Breaking away from the image of existing authoritative and traditional discussions, it presents a new discussion method that is serious, not exaggerated, and fun but not light. Unlike political current affairs programs, the Open Discussion will cover various topics such as economy, society, and culture and will continue its efforts to continue its role as a high-quality public forum without remaining in unconventional host replacement.

■ cross the line with a question

According to a 2022 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, South Korea is considered the country with the most political polarization. In an era when extreme confrontation and camp logic erode the public sphere, "open discussion" is aimed at understanding discussions, not fighting discussions. The core purpose of the reorganization is to provide a place for dialogue to understand each other beyond listening to the voices of people from different camps and positions in one place and confirming differences through questions held in a soft atmosphere. The "Open Discussion," which has maintained the public sphere of the Republic of Korea for the past 23 years, begins a new question with Hwang Hyun-hee.
