While reinterpreting the history of 'Sea King Jang Bogo' in the behind-the-scenes talk show 'Sherlock - Four Perspectives', Kim Jong-min confesses his sudden desire for wealth, saying, "I want to buy an apartment with a view of the Han River," raising curiosity about the background.
'Sulloc - Four Perspectives' (hereinafter referred to as 'Sulloc') is a history-telling talk show that reinterprets history from four completely different perspectives, from the Annals to historical records. Episode 6, which will be aired on the 11th, is the episode of 'Sea King Jang Bogo,' who was a general of Silla and established Cheonghaejin and mastered both national defense and maritime trade. It features elite history tellers including historical storyteller Sun Kim, historian Ahn Jeong-jun, geographer Kim I-jae, and war historian Nam Bo-ram. They come together to reinterpret Jang Bogo from the perspective of each field of expertise.
This day's broadcast sheds light on the 'Jang Bogo Rebellion', which does not remain in historical records, from various angles, with the twist that Jang Bogo, the legendary hero who possessed both military power and enormous wealth during the Unified Silla Dynasty, was the person responsible for causing Silla's first military coup. An Jeong-jun sees Jang Bogo as a political victim who bowed before Silla's caste system, and uncovers the true nature of Silla's bone rank system, which frustrated even the hero who commanded the times.
In the midst of this, Kim Jong-min confesses his sudden material greed, adding to the laughter. Kim Jong-min, known as a renter of an apartment with a view of the Han River. When Ahn Jeong-jun asked, "Jong-min, don't you want to buy a nice apartment with a view of the Han River?" Kim Jong-min's eyes flashed with desire, like someone who was possessed by something, saying, "I want to buy an apartment with a view of the Han River," and finally, "I also want to buy an Italian luxury bag." He confesses his honest feelings. However, Ahn Jeong-jun makes Kim Jong-min cry by saying, "During the Silla Dynasty, no matter how rich you were, if you were not of high rank, you could not even spend money as you wanted. If you used high-class items compared to people of higher status, you were punished." Jang Hang-jun, who also empathizes with the Silla people, also says, “Silla is the king of discrimination.”
Episode 6 of ‘Sulloc’, which will shed light on the reality of Silla’s bone rank system that even the maritime king Jang Bogo could not avoid, and Jang Bogo’s struggles to overcome the constraints of his status, will air on K-STAR, AXN, and E channels at 8 pm on the 11th. You can see it.
