Interview: Oh, Se-Yeong, producer of Seoul Drama Awards

"I believe this is a great opportunity to promote Korean dramas around the world".

There is a growing global interest in the 2006 Seoul Drama Awards (SDA) to be held on Aug. 29 at 7:55 PM at the KBS Hall, Uido, Seoul.

The biggest buzz about SDA in Korea is the fact that SAD is the first time three terrestrial wave broadcasting companies and EBS will pool their resources to give appropriate recognition to the best dramas.

SDA also awards outstanding foreign dramas. This year, 105 foreign dramas from 29 countries have been submitted to the SDA, indicative of its growing clout in the international scene.

Owing to its international character, some of the best known Korean and foreign stars will appear on the stage, including Choi, Soo-Jong, Kim, Seon-Ah, and Kim, Jae-Won from Korea, Kusanagi Tsuyoshi of the hugely popular Japanese group SMAP and Jerry Yan of Taiwan's F4.

In an interview, Oh, Se-Young, KBS producer and producer of SDA, talked about the significance of SDA and how they all carefully prepared for it. Oh has already shown his masterful hands in producing some of the most ambitious events and shows such the opening ceremony for the 2002 Korea - Japan World Cup, the 2002 Busan Asian Games, and the Open Concert for the 100th Anniversary of Korean Emigration History to the USA.
