“A blue-and-white porcelain jar, a piece rare even in museums”
The ‘emotional voice trio’ Park Hye-kyung, In Ho-jin, and Kang Hye-yeon face off for the top honor on an educational quiz show on a terrestrial network.
At 11:10 a.m. on the 14th on KBS1, Episode 1526 of the Sunday morning showcase ‘TV Show Jinpum Myeongpum’ will air. This episode introduces a diverse array of submitted items, from a folding screen brimming with brilliant flowers and butterflies, to folk objects with puzzling functions, and blue-and-white porcelain with distinctive motifs.
A flower-and-butterfly folding screen appears, notable for hyper-realistic depiction that makes it hard to tell painting from reality. Each panel, bursting with blossoms and ringed by various butterflies in flight, creates a scene as if a spring garden had been transplanted onto it. The butterflies are more than mere decoration; their symbolism is special, making them a motif beloved by ancestors. The meticulous observation down to individual petals and the flutter of butterfly wings raises expectations for a high appraisal. What stories and value are hidden in this flower-and-butterfly screen? The details will be explained by the ‘Jinpum Lady’, announcer Hong Ju-yeon.
Next, in the ‘What Is This Used For?’ segment, three puzzling household items appear. The submitted pieces, each differing in form and material, look like boxes or even frames, prompting the appraisal panel on the show to pour out their guesses. Surprisingly, the differently shaped items are revealed to have the exact same function, adding to the intrigue. We take a closer look to discover what, in fact, these baffling objects were used for.

A blue-and-white porcelain jar boasting overwhelming scale and mysterious motifs is also presented. It is a piece of pottery rarely seen not only in museums but even on ‘Jinpum Myeongpum’, and ceramics appraiser Kim Jun-young assessed that examples of this motif decorating so large a jar are extremely rare. What does this motif depict? Its identity and value can be examined in detail on this week’s broadcast.
The show’s appraisal panel features singer Park Hye-kyung, known for a singular vocal color; In Ho-jin, leader of the emotional vocal group Sweet Sorrow; and singer Kang Hye-yeon, the trot goddess with a refreshing charm, as they compete for the grand winner title.
In particular, interest centers on whether In Ho-jin, known for an IQ of 155, will demonstrate sharp deductive skills and exceptional powers of observation. And between Park Hye-kyung, aiming to make the most of her first appearance, and the janggu goddess Kang Hye-yeon, who claimed the top honor will be revealed at 11:10 a.m. on June 14 on ‘TV Show Jinpum Myeongpum’.
Hosted by announcers Kang Seung-hwa and Hong Ju-yeon, ‘TV Show Jinpum Myeongpum’ is an educational program that, since 1995, has unearthed genuine masterpieces and, through the keen eyes of expert appraisers, confirmed the true worth of Korea’s antique art.
