Well-known history TV documentaries can now be enjoyed at a new portal site.
To mark the 70th anniversary of Korea’s liberation from Japanese imperialism, Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) has launched a new website, the KBS History Portal, (http://history.kbs.co.kr), on January 1. People can go there to see all the history-related content broadcast by KBS.
The website provides history-related content, including KBS documentaries and soap operas, for free. All 411 episodes of “History Special” are there, one of the best-known history programs which ran from 2009 to 2012, as well as the 61 episodes of “Korean History” (2007-2008), which introduced influential figures of Korea's past. There are also the 28 episodes of “History Chase” (2008-2009). Visitors can also watch some of KBS' famous historical soap operas, such as “Jeong Do-jeon” (2014) and “The Immortal Yi Soon Shin” (2004-2005).
The broadcaster said, “The KBS History Portal provides more than 5,000 video clips. It will act as a history storage center and digital archives, enabling people to watch all of KBS' history content at ease.”
“We broke up the 5,000 years of Korean history into various categories, such as Eras, Countries, People and so on. Each of the sections is introduced with related video footage and explanations so that viewers can find what they're looking for easily. This portal is also optimized for portable devices, so that viewers using a smartphone or a tablet can still see our high quality pictures,” said the state broadcaster.
