Kim Seo-hyung, how do you feel about the documentary…I hope we can continue to produce documentaries on political, security, and war trends (World 1945)



"We can broaden our perspective on the present."

Actor Kim Seo-hyung, the narrator, raised expectations for KBS 1TV's special three-part documentary World 1945 (planned by Son Jong-ho, lead producer Lee Ki-yeon, producer Kim Jong-seok, director Jung Beom-soo, Park Abuse, Kim Do-won, Sangbum Kim).

In 'World 1945's Part 2 Death Journey, Nuclear', which airs at 9:30 p.m. on the 17th, we look into 'nuclear', which has become an absolute variable of world hegemony. It also contains the concerns of Robert J. Oppenheimer, the real protagonist of Christopher Nolan's film 'Oppenheimer's research director'Manhattan Project' which develops nuclear bombs'.

Oppenheimer refused to develop nuclear weapons because he thought they were cruel, but he began developing them because he thought it was more dreadful to be attacked by the Nazis. Oppenheimer thought that if the power of nuclear bombs was strong, this would allow the world to ban war and nuclear weapons and avoid an arms race. Many scientists working together on the 'Manhattan Project' were also in line with Oppenheimer's idea. This was an alliance, but it also appears as a big variable between the United States and the Soviet Union, which were in check with each other. How the variable affects the current global hegemony is revealed in this broadcast.

-This documentary consists of keywords 'Oil', 'Hack', 'Dollar', and the most impressive point while preparing for the narration is.

▶All three keywords left a strong impression in different ways. What I felt while preparing for the narration was that it was too close to the world we live in now to pass 'It's a thing of the past'. It was surprising that the present was within the structure of power that had continued since the war. As I narrate and follow each story, I think 'Past-present-future, all of this is organically connected'.

-If you know anything new, or if you were shocked.

▶It felt different to know what I knew in more detail. In particular, I realized how crucial the conflict over oil was to win the war. A particularly impressive scene was about Hitler's end. It was very ironic that the dictator, who was so obsessed with oil and waged a war, did not even have gasoline left to burn himself down at the last minute. At the same time as the scene showed the futility of war, it reminded me of the fact that war should never happen again.

-Is there any other documentary you want to see after this documentary.




▶I hope documentaries that can deal with political, security, and war trends will continue to be produced in the future. I hope that such a documentary that can reflect on the past and compare it with the present will continue.

-Will I be able to hear your voice through narration again in the future. If you have any future plans.

▶If there is another good work, of course, you can meet it. I'll make sure to let you know when I get that opportunity. I won't keep it a secret (laughs).

-Please say something to the viewers

▶This opportunity has allowed me to once again broaden my perspective on the present. It was a beneficial time, and if there is a good opportunity, I would like to be with you again. I think it's a meaningful work that my family can see together. I hope viewers can empathize with me like I felt when watching this documentary.
