Korean Beacon is saying so long to our popular news show each week and moving on to a more interactive form of news, discussion, and debate. Christina Lee will start hosting a show called “Hi Krista” that will feature a topic each week and get feedback from viewers to respond to. Feedback can be emailed to beacon at koreanbeacon dot com or uploaded via youtube and the link emailed to us. This is a revolutionary way of doing what we call “an online talk show”.

So let us know what topics are of interest to you and check out our series premiering next week!
