Radio waves were first transmitted from Kyungsung Broadcasting Station on February 16, 1927 during Japan's colonial occupation. The joyful news of liberation spread via radio across the nation. Full-fledged radio broadcasting began with Korea's exclusive call sign "HL" designated in 1947. Radio dramas enjoyed sensational popularity before televisions became common. Young people were enthusiastic fans of radio programs during the heyday of pop music.
[Soundbite] Lee Mi-kyung(Gyeonggi-do Prov. Resident) : "It is really fun to listen to radio shows when they air. We share congratulatory messages and make song requests."
Radio is still a precious and irreplaceable friend for many, even in the digital era.
[Soundbite] Yoo Chun-geun(Taxi Driver) : "It is part of my everyday life. It is like a friend for me."
[Soundbite] Lee Hyun-woo(Host, 'Lee Hyun-woo's Music Album,' KBS Cool FM) : "I think it is a medium that creates a sense of having a personal conversation or being in a room together, when listeners send in stories of their lives."
Marking the 90th anniversary of the nation's first radio broadcast, KBS will present a special program and review the medium's history and future.
