Global Talk Show,also known as Misuda,was a South Korean television program on Korean Broadcasting System (KBS). The show features a panel of foreign women residing in South Korea,usually as international students,who discussed their experiences and cultures in a talk show format in the Korean language. After high viewer ratings from its first broadcast on October 7,2006 during the Chuseok holiday,it became a regularly broadcast program starting November 26,2006. Its final episode was aired on Christmas 2010.
The show's name has been variously translated as Chat with Beauties, [1] Chatting Beauties, [2] Beauties's Chatterbox,or Misuda (a shortened version of its Korean name). [3]
The show was hosted by Nam Hui-seok,a television personality and comedian. Later on,announcer Eom Ji-in joined as co-host,and eventually Lee Yun-seok and Seo Gyeong-seok became the final hosts. The song "Bring It All Back" by S Club 7 is played after the opening cut to the studio floor that follows the playing of the opening intro and the viewer advisory that it is a rated "15" program. Unlike most talk shows,Global Talk Show does not have a live studio audience and instead uses audience laughter and applause tracks as well as on-screen text and sound effects.
In 2009 the program came under attack,receiving widespread criticism by internet users after a student panelist labeled short men (men under 180 cm) as "losers". [3] The program suffered a decline in popularity thereafter and was later cancelled.[ citation needed ] Nevertheless,the popularity of the program gave celebrity status within South Korea to some of the panelists. [4] A portion of the program was also published as a book featuring the same subject.
