A New Beginning!



Hi everyone!

Since KBS World Radio's program reshuffle goes into effect today, I thought I'd start a blog, like Abby.

It's a new beginning and Spring is all about new beginnings. I know, I know, the spring season actually began a few weeks ago, but better late than never, right? hehe

For those of you who don't know me, I host 2 KPOP shows:KPOP Connection and Korean Pop Interactive. KPOP Connection is broadcast every Monday through Saturday. My co-host Chris Dykas and I bring all you KPOP lovers 30 minutes of entertainment news, the latest hits, interesting (well, we try, anyway) cultural information and your song requests.

Korean Pop Interactive is the hour-long Sunday version of KPOP Connection, which also features "Artist Spotlight" and song translations and also introduces you to popular Korean dramas.

As I mentioned in the beginning, the program reshuffle goes into effect today and there are some exciting changes!

Firstly, Korean Pop Interactive will now feature a hot star interview each week! This week will feature an interview with the beautiful and talented R&B singer 거미/Gummy! Be sure to check it out this Sunday!

Secondly, KBS World Radio now features a third channel that is exclusively dedicated to KPOP! Both KPOP Connection and KPI will be broadcast several times a day, so it'll be easy to tune in ^^

Thirdly, this blog was started to reach out to all of you out there. Whether you're an avid listener or you've just stumbled onto this blog, I hope you enjoy it. You can also directly contact me at sarahjun@kbs.co.kr or kpop@kbs.co.kr.

Alrighty, that's it for me today!
Annyung~!

Hello my dearest Sarah and Chris.

This blog is a very awesome idea. When I saw Abby's blog I left a comment.

But after posting a comment to Abby, I started thinking why you and Chris doesn't have a blog? But after that thought I saw your message the next day that you had a blog which I tried but doesn't work but now it's okay. I'm so happy for you and Chris. What's striking me the most is the title Simply Sarah, I like it so much it really reflected on to your personality. Your simplicity but showed a lot of knowledge and intellect in whatever topic you've touched or discussed. I've noticed it everytime I listened to you in Seoul Calling, KPOP Connection and the undying KPI.

Feed us with your knowledge and blog more.

Simply,
Melanie

Why Lisa is no very famous singer? Cause I'm like very much. I like 'Featherwell', 'Again', 'Tonight'....Very good for requests by listeners.

Marc said...

I like Lisa very much. But what the reason for appear in some music programs? I'm like your songs too much, but no too appear in music programs and charts.

Thanks for Chris to call names 'jerky' for highway bus drivers. Him places is the F1 circuit!!! (he want to be a Felipe Massa). A little bad and worried come back to Busan, in the last year for the bus to aproximate car and always run in the left side on the road.
