My favorite intro is the 1999 and 2000 intros because in Chicago, it aired on WOCK KBC-TV Channel 28 (UHF) where Korean programming aired from 12 Noon to 12 Midnight.
Legendary Music aired since October 5th, 1992 until December 31st, 2018, despite they changed it temporary at 1993. Their studio and animation looks good in South Korea, but not the best. There are plenty TV Stations in South Korea who make best news intro and even best studio.
The 2008 upgrade of the classic theme was pretty good, added some grandeur and there and lasted some 12 years! Did anyone pick up Star Trek the Next Generation themes in the 1983 theme? I also thought their cylinder in space them in 1993 was a bit weird. I got annoyed at the 2017 gimmicky 'newsreaders standing up, or getting paper handed to them by staff, or walking to the desk' thing that the US does - thank goodness they stopped that and stuck to normal seating. Their current theme is ok.
Compared to the rest of the world, South Korea is late to color TV. They were black and white until 1980 (even then, there was a bit of black and white, but that would go away the next year in 1981).
I can point you to this clear intro: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ShRJbghgUqc.html Althought I used the clip from ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-owftu2MTQo8.html
6:32 Я долго вспоминал, что мне напоминает музыка этих интро, и потом вспомнил, что эта музыка отдаленно напоминает интро новостей российского телеканала ОТР
I wonder if aleporoto could find the backing music used when news topics are highlighted on SBS (Seoul Broadcasting Service) 12 (12pm news). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NffqJExzG08.html - from 0:10 onwards
i think this is repetitive, but NHK is very serious with copyright and I can have many copyright strikes with just uploading a video. I'll maybe do a compilation of it in another website, but never on YT
