Kim will narrate the upcoming Wednesday special documentary on KBS 1TV entitled 'Reaching for the Gold Medal - The Young Athletes of China'. The documentary will air on February 20 at 11:30 p.m.
The program is about the story of young athletes in China working hard to win medals at the upcoming summer Olympics in Beijing. For the poor young children of socialist China, winning an Olympic medal is one of the only ways to bring honor and wealth to their family. Medalists receive a house as well as a high-level government post from the state.
Viewers can get a glimpse of the harsh realities of the Chinese athletes, who endure difficult training sessions without proper gym clothes and get through long days with just a single bowl of porridge to ease their hunger.
