"Fan"tastic....

I just heard that KBS website now has a section in English .... I think they may have had this since January but just found out myself...

Way cool!

Too bad the entire site isn't available in English. All the links on the TV page are back to that page. I would so much like to read non-Babelfish English versions of the character summaries etc. The English on this site is well done.

It does let you register with KBS in English. This, in the FAQ, though caught my eye:

Cannot log-in after finishing the registration as a non-Korean citizen

Non-Korean citizen users may log-in only after obtaining approval for registration. Korean citizens may log-in after confirmation of real name.

If you apply for Member registration, we approve after deciding whether your information is correct or not.

An information notice will be delivered to your e-mail address after the site administrator approves or does not approve the application for registration.

The process for approval is now being delayed because of too many applicants.
Service will be available as soon as possible.

Too many applicants. . .

Soju,

too many applicants...
way cool! and annoying at same time....

speaking of babelfish another friend/fan tried to have Choi Su-Jong's bio "translated" which, it did, but most of it didn't make sense... it came out with things like - "he attended Insect High School" ;D

yes, i agree this English site is well done

What did you want to know about Choi Su Jong? I can't tell you much but I do know that he's been around for a while, he's won numerous awards for his acting and he's married to Ha Hee Ra (The actress who played Moon Hee in the previous 6pm drama, can't remember the name of it).

One rather amazing thing I saw at KBS's site, is that in South Korea, they can now apparently watch TV on their cell phones. But please, not while driving!
