Jeong Jae-hwan joins SBS show to explore cancer from multiple perspectives

'The original handsome comedian' who transformed into a university professor, historian Jeong Jae-hwan, a former host known as 'the national MC,' will make a surprise appearance on SBS health entertainment 'Five Senses Satisfaction Storytelling: Three Perspectives.'

In the 6th episode of SBS 'Three Perspectives,' airing on the 22nd (Sunday), special guest Jeong Jae-hwan, who was once called 'the original multi-talented entertainer,' will unexpectedly show up as a linguist. Jeong Jae-hwan, a symbol of Generation X and an entertainer who was unmatched as 'the national MC', transformed into a university professor and will collaborate with science writer Kwak Jae-sik and specialists Kim Bo-min and Lee Jae-dong to discuss the topic of 'cancer' from each person's perspective.

On the show, Jeong will interestingly delve into the etymology of 'cancer' while introducing the shocking choices made by Hippocrates, known as the 'father of medicine,' for the advancement of medicine. The scene that instantly changes the atmosphere in the studio is expected to properly showcase the 'essence' of health entertainment that 'Three Perspectives' aims for, bringing together 'the emotion of entertainment' and 'the depth of knowledge.'

Despite the advancements in medicine, the number of cancer patients continues to rise, and on that day, family medicine specialist Lee Jae-dong conveyed an astonishing story, stating, 'It's because medicine has advanced.' Specialist Kim Bo-min revealed her family history of cancer, showing empathy towards the disease more than anyone else. Additionally, she emphasized the importance of maintaining a body condition where cancer cells find it difficult to grow, delivering a message about the significance of management before the onset of cancer.

Meanwhile, science writer Kwak Jae-sik will vividly showcase his 'molecular enthusiast' side as he introduces the anticancer molecule 'glucosinolate,' known as a 'powerful warrior against cancer.' This 'super celeb food,' loved by global stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna, and 'curly kale,' rich in glucosinolate, will present diverse stories related to the theme of cancer.

'Five Senses Satisfaction Storytelling: Three Perspectives' on SBS, which offers a new perspective for a 'healthy life,' is not just a simple health information program but a knowledge-based health entertainment that intricately weaves together history, science, and medicine. Experts from three fields, including science writer Kwak Jae-sik and specialists Kim Bo-min and Lee Jae-dong, convey the essence of health from multidimensional perspectives.

'Three Perspectives' airs every Sunday at 8:35 a.m., and the sixth episode featuring historian Jeong Jae-hwan as a guest will be broadcast that day.
