KBS2 'KRAZY RICH KOREA', which premiered on the 15th, depicted the first stories of world-class Koreans who are active in various fields around the world.
The audience rating was 2.9 percent (hereinafter, counted by Nielsen Korea, nationwide), and the highest viewership rose to 3.6 percent in the scene where Betty Park held a K-dumpling tasting in Harlem.
MC Jeon Hyun-moo, Pak Se-ri, and Ji Ye-eun opened the powerful opening of 'Crazy Rich Korean' with world-class cellist and conductor Jang Han-na who visited the studio. Jang Han-na's ultra-luxury mansion in the United States was unveiled for the first time in broadcasting, and the overwhelming scale of the mansion made MCs "It's like a house I've seen in movies."," he exclaimed repeatedly. In particular, Jang Han-na surprised the MCs once again by revealing that she cleans all the huge houses by herself.
Instead of resting at home, Jang Han-na focused on preparing for her final season performance in Hamburg, Germany, which is only 10 days away. After breakfast, she sat at her desk and played the score, showing her professional side by thoroughly analyzing the structure of music for perfect conduction and image training in advance of the actual performance.
Afterwards, Jang Han-na left the workaholic for a while and drove to a restaurant that she has been attending for 30 years. Having stunned the MCs by eating only tomatoes and blueberries for breakfast, she indulged in high-calorie foods ranging from baby white lip to mac and cheese. When Jang Han-na seemed to be unsealed, Jeon Hyun-moo laughed by saying "I think you're an eating YouTuber".
Kim Sang-sik, head coach of the Vietnamese national soccer team, appeared as the second Crazy Rich Korean. Eight months after taking over as coach last year, he led the Southeast Asian tournament to victory and established himself as a `Vietnam national hero', monitoring the K-League game video on a tablet as soon as he woke up in the morning, showing his extraordinary passion for soccer.

Kim Sang-sik, who moved to Ho Chi Minh City to play an important A match for Vietnam, lined up straight at the entrance of the restaurant with the coaching staff before the meal. After that, the players entered the restaurant, and Kim Sang-sik and the coaches greeted each player one by one and boasted their strong teamwork. The players also called Kim Sang-sik by his nickname 'sik-hyung' and said he was living like a brother.
However, Kim Sang-sik started to care about the appearance of some players with free-spirited hairstyles from hair dye to perm, and eventually approached the players who were eating and pointed out. Even though the coaching staff started eating following the players, Kim Sang-sik still stared at the team. There are growing questions about how Kim Sang-sik, who is persistent when he is hooked on something in line with the nickname "Victus", will manage Vietnamese players.
The third crazy rich Korean was Betty Park, who has been running a restaurant in Harlem, New York for 40 years. After giving up her studies and immigrating to the United States due to poor family conditions, she started her business in Harlem in 1983 and became a restaurant CEO with annual sales of 20 billion won.
Betty Park carefully checked the store's business readiness and controlled the employees with a so-called 'K-jodori'. The huge employees, who are much bigger with their unrivaled charisma, followed her instructions, and the MCs who saw it admired one after another.
As there seemed to be few customers, Betty Park actively marketed by developing new menus with K-food, which is also popular in the United States. However, knee pain began because he was standing non-stop after work, and when his son Ian saw it, he told him to go home and rest and could not hide his concern for his mother.
Betty Park came down to the basement to take a secret break from her son's nagging about his health, but was quickly caught and forced to return home. Expectations are rising for the Harlem story, which will be presented in the future by Betty Park, who commands Harlem, and the staff she works with.
'Crazy Rich Korean' captures the actual workplaces and daily lives of characters that have been difficult to see in broadcasts since the first broadcast. In particular, AI technology was actively used in the middle of broadcasting to show the effect of linking the past and present of Crazy Rich Koreans, giving viewers both fun and emotion.
Meanwhile, 'Crazy Rich Korean' is a human reality entertainment that visits K-people who have succeeded in various fields and illuminates their lives, philosophy, and passion. Jeon Hyun-moo, Pak Se-ri, Ji Ye-eun, and Kwak Tube appear as MCs and follow the lives of Koreans who are active around the world with viewers 'Superman is back', Producer Lee Chang-soo, who directed `The Boss's Ears are Donkey Ears' and 'The Seasons', is in charge of directing and unraveling the narrative with a unique sensuous gaze.
