KBS to produce web-drama version of ‘Prince of Prince'
State-run broadcaster KBS will produce a web drama version of webtoon "Prince of Prince," sources told local media, Sunday.
The webtoon tells a comic story of two men betting on the future of a game company that has employed only good-looking men. It has been published regularly on Naver, the nation's largest search portal, since last May.
"The web drama will consist of seven episodes, each 10 minutes long," the source said. "The production crew is currently looking for producer, writer and actor options."
KBS is expected to produce a number of web dramas this year, as it has recently launched a drama portal page of its own.
Popular children's song writer dies
Children's songwriter Jeong Keun, who wrote and composed a famous song "I wish I was on TV," passed away on Saturday. He was 85.
The cheerful song is still sung by many children. Jeong also wrote songs and poems about nature including flowers, trees and seasons.
Jeong was born in Gwangju, Jeolla Province, in 1930 and graduated from Daegu University. The late songwriter formed a choir in his hometown, where he first started his career as a composer.
In his mid-30s, Jeong moved to Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), and worked as a writer for the popular children's show, "Gather-up, Sing Together." Jeong also directed the KBS Children's Choir.
An altar was set up at Seoul University Hospital for people to pay their respects.
