In the program 'Ask Anything,' mountaineer Um Hong-gil, who successfully reached the summit of all 16 peaks in the Himalayas for the first time in the world, grants.

Tonight (16th) at 8:30 p.m., mountaineer Um Hong-gil will appear as a story contributor in the 320th episode of KBS Joy's 'Ask Anything.' Um Hong-gil shares concerns, saying he feels that society has become dry and harsh, and that "the heart for considering, giving, and helping others seems to have weakened significantly."

This broadcast will be held unusually at Balwangsan in Pyeongchang, Gangwon Province. Before the consultation, Um Hong-gil reveals his mountaineer side by stating, "I love Balwangsan so much," and "I come here often whenever I am stressed and struggling." He then introduces a hiking trail named 'Um Hong-gil,' which actually exists on Balwangsan, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Um Hong-gil confesses that he is one of only two people in the world, along with his Sherpas, who successfully summited all 16 peaks in the Himalayas, stating, "It took me 22 years to succeed in the 16 peaks," and, "I lost 10 colleagues."

He continued his challenges with a sincere heart and eventually succeeded in summiting without incident. He explains that after seeing children below the Himalayan mountains who are not receiving education and living without dreams, he realized the importance of education for sustainable change.

Um Hong-gil has established a total of 22 schools in the Nepal Himalayas, adding that it costs about 600 to 800 million won to build one school. He continues, "Seeing children happy and studying hard gives me greater joy, inspiration, and happiness."

Lee Sugeun, after hearing his story, humorously comments, "In fact, Captain Um Hong-gil could run for president of Nepal," explaining that he has that much influence in Nepal. He adds that he hopes Korea will also become a society that shares warm affection, inspired by Um Hong-gil's good energy.

Seo Jang-hoon also expresses admiration, saying, "That's amazing."
