Singer Lee Chan-won was surprised to see a person who drank more than 1,400 bottles of radium water.
KBS 2TV, which will air on the 9th, will be joined by musical actor Ok Joo-hyun and world renowned toxicology professor Park Eun-jung as special guests. And a biography of Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, is introduced.
After about four years of experimentation, Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie discovered 'radium', which is about a million times more radioactive than uranium. Since then, radium has been treated as a 'miracle medicine' and has been made into health supplements and household items, such as bread, soap, lenses, and even condoms. Professor Park Eun-jung said "Fortunately, radium was really expensive. It advertised that 'Radium was in it' but the majority was actually fake," he said. In response, Lee Chan-won responded "At that time, the price of radium was about 750,000 francs per gram. At that time, he announced the value of radium, saying, `It's money to buy an apartment in Paris.'
However, the popularity of radium has left serious side effects. Introducing an anecdote about the watch factory girls in the United States 'Doctor MC'Lee Nak-jun said "The girl's teeth fell out when she hit her head on the cupboard. Other girls also developed tumors in places where tumors did not normally grow, such as jaw and calf," he said, revealing the terrible reality.
Meanwhile, an anecdote of Eben Byers, an American businessman and golfer in the 19th century, was also introduced. Lee Nak-jun said, `When I went to the hospital with an arm injury, the doctor recommended radium water (which came out as a health supplement). I ate three bottles every day, more than 1400 bottles in total. This is how he changed in three years. I don't know if it's okay to be on the show...," he said, shaking his head. When Lee Chan-won saw the data photo, he was surprised by "Isn't this some kind of fabricated photo?"
Meanwhile, an anecdote is introduced in which Marie Curie, who shook the world with the discovery of radium, was quickly criticized by the public. Jang Do-yeon said, "Reporters surround the house and turn to Marie 'Dirty woman, get out of your country!' I made a comment like that,' he said, recreating the serious atmosphere of the time. What the scandal surrounding Marie Curie would have been, will be revealed in the main broadcast.
