Actress Lim Yoon-a Narrates Documentary Featuring Wheelchair Dancer Chae Soo-min's Brave 'News 9' Weathercaster Challenge
KBS 1TV's documentary 'Standing Again, The Miracle,' narrated by actress Lim Yoon-a, is drawing attention for its portrayal of 'wheelchair dancer' Chae Soo-min's inspiring journey.
The episode, airing on December 17th at 10 PM KST, showcases Chae Soo-min's ambitious attempt to become a one-day weathercaster for KBS 'News 9,' in commemoration of Disability Day on December 3rd.
Despite facing the physical challenge of paralysis below the waist, which limits even breathing, Chae Soo-min demonstrates remarkable determination. "It's difficult to exhale for a long time, so my lung capacity is limited. My voice doesn't carry as much," she explains about her condition.
The stakes were even higher as she was required to stand and deliver the weather forecast using a cutting-edge wearable device on the day of the broadcast, adding to her immense pressure.
Arriving at the 'News 9' studio for rehearsal, Chae Soo-min watched weathercaster Kang A-rang's skillful demonstration with wide eyes. Assisted by others, she donned the advanced wearable device and carefully took her first step, remarking, "I can't feel anything in my legs," yet pressing forward.
However, a sudden cry of "Wait a moment!" from Chae Soo-min echoed through the studio. Whether she successfully completed her weather forecast while standing on her own will be revealed in the main broadcast, in a moment that even surprised narrator Lim Yoon-a.
'Standing Again, The Miracle,' featuring Chae Soo-min's courageous step forward and Lim Yoon-a's warm support, airs on Wednesday, December 17th, at 10 PM on KBS 1TV.
Netizens are showing strong support even before the broadcast. Comments include, "Chae Soo-min is truly amazing! I'll definitely watch," "Looking forward to Lim Yoon-a's narration too," and "I expect to be moved by her overcoming disability to achieve her dream."
