It's an eternal homework for the Korean people, and even if you learn it for more than 10 years, your English skills will not improve.

Thirty years ago, there is a person who opened a field of practical English in the domestic English market, which was mainly grammar.

Reporter Jung Yoo-jin tells the story of Professor Min Byung-chul, a first-generation English pioneer and now leading the Internet culture movement.

[Reporter]
There's a familiar sound that used to open every morning in the 1980s.

[Min Byung-chul / Chung-Ang University Chair Professor: Good morning every one how are you?] Hello, everyone. It's Min Byung Chul.]

Professor Min Byung-chul created a new wind of practical English in the Korean English education market, which was mainly focused on grammar and reading at the time.

"Have you met Judy?" "Have you met Judy?"

Emphasizing the importance of conversation and pronunciation, his textbooks were sensational with more than one million copies sold.

[Min Byung-chul / Chung-Ang University Chair Professor: Pass-Spot] You pronounce it long like this. I drew this pronunciation myself, so I taught it.]

After asking how his viewers were doing every morning, he turned to the Internet screen covered with malicious comments one day.

When I heard that a celebrity who suffered from malicious comments died, I started a campaign to post good comments and good comments.

Just as people who have cleaned up trash are less likely to throw it away, they have come to believe that the experience of posting good comments can change the culture of the Internet.

[Min Byung-chul / Chung-Ang University Chair Professor] A lot of people are just looking at the malicious comments. You're going to be a bystander. If you post a good post after watching it, the atmosphere changes completely.]

Recently, we have also joined the K-Respect campaign to respect foreigners and multicultural families residing in Korea.

[Min Byung-chul / Chung-Ang University Chair Professor: When it reaches 5% of the population, it is divided into a multicultural country. We are already in a multicultural country because we have 2.5 million people, and I think it should start with respecting each other and understanding each other's culture with them.]

Professor Min Byung-chul, who is expanding the base of his life from a national English teacher to a human rights activist, will be delivered tonight at 11:10 p.m. on Kim Sung-kyung's Namsan Drive.
