John on TV

So the film crew was here in our home last week. Pretty fun - except the screaming toddler while they were trying to film.

John is doing an interview for Arirang TV here in Seoul. They are an English language TV station sponsored by the government. John's advisor's wife Tanya works for them and arranged the interview. It is exciting for John to tell about his research and the publicity might help him find work here in Korea.

They filmed him working and talked to him for 30 minutes on camera and then he performed a song at the station for the show too.

It will be shown on the program Heart to Heart on June 21st - the day we leave Korea - at 9:30 pm here. We have watched some Arirang programming on our computer so it may be that people can watch it after that date on their website. They also told us that they will send a copy of the show to us after it airs.
John is also involved in a documentary about his gagok teacher that will be shown here in Korea on a major network. We are going to Massan so John can perform his piece and that will be filmed for the documentary as well. He has already done some filming and interviewing with that crew.

Exciting media attention for John!
