Mr. Ahn and Mr. Park are the most sought-after role models for Koreans now. They are called Korea’s Warren Buffet or Bill Gates. MBC Special–Ahn & Park was able to make a documentary on them, who seldom appeared on TV despite their high popularity, and featured how they think about the Korean society. Ahn and Park are one of the biggest beneficiaries of the current capitalism as they built wealth and fame as a doctor, a CEO or am economic specialist. But with their sharp, critical point of view and consideration for the have-nots, they are highly respected in the society. Their warning message to “the market capitalism and those with vested rights” gives a pleasant shock to the public who are suffering from high unemployment rates and economic downturns. The programme features a famous entertainer as an interviewer and narrator, giving softness and humour to the somewhat heavy conversations. As a result, it recorded unusually high ratings of 14.5% and became a hot issue among people, giving birth to a sequel to it.
