I am very disappointed & upset regarding a comment you made re.Canada does not matter when it comes to immigration for korean immigrates.I feel as a radio personality,you should not be bias.But being an american i can understand your way of thinking.You uwe the people of this great country an apology.
Dear hants2,
I'm afraid I don't know which comment you're referring to. Perhaps you can elaborate on the specifics of the conversation you heard. Based on your message, I'm not sure which country you're suggesting I criticized. I certainly wouldn't have intentionally said anything to offend anyone of ANY nationality. I look forward to a clarification of your complaint and an opportunity to apologize if necessary.
Thank you for listening.

the comment you made was regarding to how korean immigrants were doing in other parts of the word.you mentionrd other countries such as usa.but when you mentioned canada & the philippines you said you have no comment,or something to that effect.it sounded to me as if you were puting these 2 countries down.
hants2,
I encourage you to visit our website (world.kbs.co.kr/english) and take another listen to last Saturday's Worldwide Frienship show. I think you'll realize you misunderstood what I said regarding immigrants to the U.S. The story we were discussing gave statistics about the assimilation of a wide variety of immigrants to the U.S. The comment you're referring to was in reference to Canadian immigrants to the States. We were commenting on the fact that these people probably have an easier transition to U.S. society (compared with Korean and other Asian expats) because, in most cases, those coming from Canada probably already speak English.
Please take another listen.

i relistened to you show again.i am very,very sory i misunderstood as to what i thought i had heard.i will try and open my ears from now on.i look forward to your show every sat.keep up the good work.sorry again
Hate to sound nasty, but honestly, your worldwide friendship show is ridiculous, not least because both of you hosts can't stop cooing like pigeons on speed while the other is speaking. The things you discuss are only marginally interesting and strike me as pure filler. Since this is aired internationally (I hear it on CBC here in Canada), you should try to discuss things in greater depth and aim for a minimum of quality in terms of general interest. Nobody wants to hear tiresome small talk on the radio!
