Global Talk Show, also known as Misuda, was a South Korean television program on Korean Broadcasting System (KBS). The show features a panel of foreign women residing in South Korea, usually as international students, who discussed their experiences and cultures in a talk show format in the Korean language. After high viewer ratings from its first broadcast on October 7, 2006 during the Chuseok holiday, it became a regularly broadcast program starting November 26, 2006. Its final episode was aired on Christmas 2010.
The show's name has been variously translated as Chat with Beauties,[1] Chatting Beauties,[2] Beautiess Chatterbox, or Misuda (a shortened version of its Korean name).[3]
The show was hosted by Nam Hui-seok, a television personality and comedian. Later on, announcer Eom Ji-in joined as co-host, and eventually Lee Yun-seok and Seo Gyeong-seok became the final hosts. The song "Bring It All Back" by S Club 7 is played after the opening cut to the studio floor that follows the playing of the opening intro and the viewer advisory that it is a rated "15" program. Unlike most talk shows, Global Talk Show does not have a live studio audience and instead uses audience laughter and applause tracks as well as on-screen text and sound effects.
In 2009 the program came under attack, receiving widespread criticism by internet users after a student panelist labeled short men (men under 180 cm) as "losers".[3] The program suffered a decline in popularity thereafter and was later cancelled. Nevertheless, the popularity of the program gave celebrity status within South Korea to some of the panelists.[4] A portion of the program was also published as a book featuring the same subject.
Many Misuda graduates have gone on to become highly active in the entertainment industry both in Korea and abroad:
