WRONG: 1980-1981 Is 1980-1982 While 1981-1982 Is 1982 1982-1983 Is Only from cica spring 1983 The main KBS 9 News in 1992 was dropped when there weekday program changed its name to KBS 9 뉴스현장 (KBS 9 News on site) THIS IS THE SAME INTRO THAT YOU ALREADY SHOWED AT 5:04 This is the actual 1996-1997 intro ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_NNXRAIXwtM.htmlsi=FvgwLBXwV0MlAab2&t=368
Nice. In some period, KBS heavily inspired from Japanese news intro, and then US news intro, and in current time is European one. Legendary music started from 1992, retired at 2019, and comeback from sleep in 2024.
Full color was introduced in 1981. Before that, South Korea introduced color PARTIALLY on 1980. [SOURCE: _"Timeline of the introduction of color television in countries"_ on Wikipedia]
That was related to President Park’s policy. He thought color television sets consumed too much electricity for Korea. This policy ended in 1980 because President Park was assassinated on October 26, 1979.
Well this is outdated AGAIN, the new intro that debuted earlier this year has slightly been updated (no longer cutting to the studio but instead straight to the headlines), along with the theme, now it carries more elements of the iconic 1992-2019 theme. ru-vid.comUiasWVvEv3M?si=1wk1Z4-mhVpZVnA8
This new intro is TRASH. Not only the graphics and text animations became significantly worse, but the text placement is shitty as well. The music sounds like a BBC rip-off too, completely losing the identity KBS had with their previous tracks. On top of that, KBS themselves aren't in good terms with their employees either because the new CEO is known to randomly fire or demote employees without warning, including the previous hosts of KBS News 9. And that doesn't help with the reputation of the new intro. If it ain't broke, don't fix the damn thing. It was fine but they HAD to make it somehow worse.
