Do Kyung-wan to Host Korea's First Construction Talk Show 'Era of Construction Stories'

Do Kyung-wan, a well-known broadcaster, is set to host the new variety show 'Era of Construction Stories'.

Channel A's 'Era of Construction Stories' is Korea's first-ever construction talk show, premiering on the 28th at 11 AM. The show will explore the hidden stories behind construction, including the homes we live in, the roads we walk on, and the bridges we use daily.

Do Kyung-wan, loved for his stable hosting skills and approachable image, will lead the program. With a background in engineering, he brings a unique understanding of the construction field, making the topic accessible and entertaining.

Joining him as regular panelists are pop columnist Kim Tae-hoon, known as a 'knowledge warehouse', and construction technology expert Dr. Shin Won-sang. Kim will provide intriguing behind-the-scenes stories from a humanities perspective, while Dr. Shin will offer in-depth insights into the world of construction technology, anchoring the program.

'Era of Construction Stories' will cover fascinating topics across time and space, such as the Korean technology behind the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, the transformation of the trash island Nanjido into an eco-friendly park, and the evolution of safety technology through disasters like earthquakes and fires, aiming to stimulate viewers' intellectual curiosity.

The production team stated, "We want to show that construction is more than just building structures; it's a process that has shaped our lives, history, and culture. Through the amazing construction stories hidden in our everyday lives, we aim to offer viewers a new perspective and enjoyment."

Meanwhile, Do Kyung-wan married singer Jang Yoon-jung in 2013, and they have a son and a daughter. He is also currently co-hosting the ENA variety show 'My Child's Private Life' with Jang Yoon-jung.
