BBC In the Studio is the BBC's leading radio documentary program that follows the creative process of famous creators around the world, including artists, musicians, and writers, and listens to their world of work and behind-the-scenes stories. Recently, Baek was interviewed under the theme of Baek Mi-kyung, a writer of K-drama who captivated the world by appearing in BBC In the Studio's 'Bak Mi-kyoung: writing a female superhero K-drama In the Studio'.
Until now, Baek has been well received by viewers for embodying outstanding female narratives such as dramas 'Dignified Her', 'Mine', and 'Strong Woman Gangnam Soon'. Even before the boom in women's narratives, such as 'Mine', which gave pleasure through the solidarity of chaebol women, and the strong women's series, which maximizes both novelty and catharsis with stories of matriarchal ancestry, have been consistently drawing the stories of attractive women.
In response, the BBC paid attention to the global influence of Korean women's narrative dramas and shed light on the world of Baek Mi-kyung's works, a famous women's narrative restaurant. On this day, Baek not only talked honestly about the background and process of writing the drama, but also presented the charm of K-dramas that captivated the world and the direction in which K-dramas should go forward through interviews. In addition, it is rumored that Baek showed off his excellent English conversation skills by reviving his career as the head of an English academy in the past in an interview conducted in English for about an hour.
As such, Baek is steadily drawing stories of various women, expanding his influence around the world, once again raising the status of K-dramas.
Meanwhile, 'BBC In the Studio', starring Baek, will be broadcasted worldwide on July 2 (local time in the UK), and can be heard again on the BBC World Service website after the broadcast.
