In the September 20 (Sun) broadcast of the premium gallery KBS 1TV 'TV Show Authentic Masterpieces', which viewers meet on Sunday mornings, various items will be introduced, ranging from ink wash landscape paintings capturing tranquil scenery to folk artifacts with striking decorations and calligraphy from figures with diverse backgrounds.

First, a painting of a tranquil landscape featuring high mountains and rivers, people in a boat, and a scholar sitting in a pavilion gazing steadily at them, appears. This painting is a work by Lee Bang-un, also known as Giya, from the late Joseon period. However, unlike other paintings, the parts of this request, excluding the mountain peaks, are expressed overall in a blurry manner. It adds to the curiosity as it is said that Lee Bang-un's unique painting style was used in the work. The story contained in this ink wash landscape painting, which has preserved about 200 years of time, will be revealed in this week's broadcast.

Additionally, a folk artifact with striking decorations is introduced. It is a long-shaped object with a red background where gold and silver threads blend together, adding visual pleasure with various decorations. While examining it closely, actress Kim Young-ran expressed unexpected delight. The requested item is an object used by a protagonist on a special day, and every single decoration holds its own special meaning. This folk artifact, which fully demonstrates high production standards and regional characteristics, is presumed to have been used by a person of high status, drawing even more interest to its value. Attention is focused on the identity of this folk artifact and its connection to Kim Young-ran.

Finally, a requested item in the form of a hanging scroll with large calligraphy is introduced. Contrary to the vigorous brushwork, unexpected content is hidden in this calligraphy, and the author of this writing is Hwang Cheol, who was active from the late Joseon period to the modern era. He is known to be a person who mastered the calligraphy style of Zheng Banqiao, a Chinese calligrapher whom Kim Jeong-hui admired. Furthermore, he draws attention with a unique history that is difficult to explain with just one profession. The interesting life of Hwang Cheol, who compared himself to an 'outsider', and the stories related to his work will be revealed in detail through the explanation of the authentic lady.

This week, representative South Korean actresses Kim Young-ran, Lee Kyung-jin, and Ahn So-young will appear on the show appraisal panel. They are veteran actresses whose officially recorded combined acting careers reach as much as 146 years. Although they have long broadcasting careers, the three, who are making their first appearance on 'TV Show Authentic Masterpieces', added a different kind of fun by presenting whimsical and witty reasoning whenever the requested items appeared.

In particular, 'Historical Drama Queen' Kim Young-ran showed confidence with every item presented, making the other two tense. Who will claim the glory of the top prize among the original trio of actresses? The result can be confirmed on the KBS 1TV 'TV Show Authentic Masterpieces' broadcast on September 20 (Sun) at 11:10 AM.

'TV Show Authentic Masterpieces', hosted by announcers Kang Seung-hwa and Hong Ju-yeon, is a KBS 1TV educational program that has been discovering authentic masterpieces since 1995 and verifying the true value of our ancient artworks through the sharp eyes of professional appraisers.
