     Well, I recently just start watching a new variety -talk show broadcasted on JTBC which the premier was around July if I am not mistaken. So, it basically just has about ten episodes. But, all the episodes are interesting. This show idea is about making a summit or gathering of several countries representatives, including Korean, as the guest who will bring an agenda every week. There are eleven men from different countries in this show, which are Turk's Enesh, US's Tyler, Canada's Guillemae, Italy's Alberto, China's Yuan, Ghana's Sam, France's Robin, Belgium's Jullian, UK's James (former), Australia's Daniel, Japan's Takuya, and the newest member is Daniel from Germany. James is out from the show because he must continue his PhD in Australia. In its every episode, they are talking about recent and specific topic that often happens in Korea which is in agenda and to decide whether it is an abnormal situation or not. That is why the title of this show is 'Abnormal Summit' or 'Non-Summit' kekekeke with Korea (Hanguk Go) as the official language. Soooo... they talk about issues in Korea with perspectives from eleven men of eleven different countries (they call themselves G11). Imagine how interesting and chaotic it is? Indeed, it is chaotic, but the more surprising for me is all of them speak Korean fluently, like natives. I just went O_O woaa. Really.

     It is pretty interesting though because in a funny way the members share their thoughts, started from the light cases or views to the extreme ones. There are several times the members start to talk harshly and bravely about history between each other's countries. You know the cases like this territory should be France, or should be Italy, or this island supposed to be Turk but stolen by blablabla. This is very funny because as we can live globally with foreigners and so on but still history sometimes comes first. The episode where US and France talking about Liberty Statue, that was really hillarious. France claimed that the statue was made by them, and the US representative admitted it, but he also asked France representative to give back an ancient book that was stolen by France back then to Koreans. LOL. I found this show really fresh and interesting. Diverse opinions make the spectators learn new things. They also admit that their countries are sometimes really what people stereotype them. It's great to see people who will proudly say 'Okay, sorry, my country took that, and we start to give it back' or 'my country learn to fix it so that it won't disturb another country'. How amazing it is if serious conditions in this world can be learnt, solved, and laughed like this.

   I hope, something great will happen if we the youth start to think light-heartedly like them. We talk, we debate, we laugh over our histories and political cases. World would be more in peace. This show will bring cross cultural understanding awareness towards us. Jinjjaroo.

    YOU SHOULD WATCH. AND I STAN ENES!! KEKEKEKE~
