Singer and entertainer Lee Chan-won is drawing attention for his strong recommendation of KBS's major project, 'Transhuman'.

The production team of 'Transhuman' released a special recommendation video from the team of KBS 2TV's 'Celebrity Soldier's Secret' ahead of the first broadcast on November 12th at 10 PM on KBS 1TV.

In the video, Lee Chan-won uniquely delivered his recommendation, leveraging his nickname 'Chantowiki'. He said, "Hello everyone, are you all familiar with AI? Nowadays, AI knows everything, just like me, 'Chantowiki'. 'Transhuman' will show you the level of this meeting between documentary and AI."

He continued, "This is the first documentary where AI created the trailer, music, and prologue," adding, "Please tune in for the premiere."

As expected from Lee Chan-won, who earned the nickname 'Chantowiki' for his sharp intellect, 'Transhuman' is a program that stimulates intellectual curiosity by dealing with cutting-edge science and technology.

'Chantowiki' is a portmanteau combining Lee Chan-won's name 'Chan-won', the adverb 'tto' (also), and 'wiki' from the online encyclopedia 'Wikipedia', meaning "Chan-won knows everything, just like Wikipedia".

Lee Chan-won is known as a 'manmul-baksa' (know-it-all) for showcasing his extensive knowledge in various fields such as music, history, and culture on diverse entertainment programs. His ability to naturally discuss difficult Hanja terms, idioms, and classical music has left a deep impression on viewers.

This intellectual image is a significant strength for Lee Chan-won, who is active as an MC in educational entertainment programs like KBS's 'Celebrity Soldier's Secret'.

Narrated by actress Han Hyo-joo, the three-part series 'Transhuman' shines a light on cutting-edge technologies in ergonomics, genetic engineering, and brain engineering that transcend the limits of the human body, in collaboration with global experts.

The production team is making a novel attempt by actively utilizing AI to produce the trailer, music, and prologue.

The three parts of KBS's major project 'Transhuman' – Part 1 'Cyborg', Part 2 'Brain Implant', and Part 3 'Gene Revolution' – will be broadcast every Wednesday at 10 PM on KBS 1TV for three weeks, starting November 12th.

Korean netizens are expressing excitement over Lee Chan-won's endorsement. Comments include reactions like, "As expected of Chantowiki! He's even mastered documentaries now," "An AI-created documentary sounds fascinating, I must watch the premiere," and "I can trust any recommendation from Lee Chan-won." There's particular anticipation for how his vast knowledge will intersect with AI technology.
