Toronto-based Naked News (whose own Yukiko Kimura and Lily Kwan have been featured here and here) has branched out its name even further when its unofficial Korean affiliate recently launched. The announcement was made at a press conference in Seoul earlier this month (above). However, the Naked News Korea anchors won’t really be naked. They will have two versions; an “adult” version, where the anchors will be topless, and a (no kidding) “teen” version, where the anchors will be clad in bikinis and lingerie. Users will have to log in to the site using their Korean national ID numbers, which is how their ages will be verified.
The Korean Naked Newscasting team will be comprised of nine beautiful anchors, ages 22-27 (actual ages, not “Korean ages”), who, like all their Naked News counterparts in other countries, will deliver all the top regional and international news stories with dedicated professionalism ….while they’re disrobing. Of course and unfortunately, unlike their counterparts in other countries, the Korean anchors will only strip to a certain point.

August 2009 Author’s Addendum: Only a month after its launch, Naked News Korea ceased operations, much to the disappointment of subscribers and anchors. (The ones that remained for the entire one-month duration of the show, that is.) Naked News CEO John Chow, who was not on the up-and-up, only bought the naming rights for Naked News and Naked News Korea was never an official affiliate of the Toronto-based Naked News franchise. Read about it here. Below is a photo of the four remaining newscasters right after learning that Naked News Korea folded and that they would probably never see any pay for their work.

3 of the former anchors formed a singing group called Naked Girls. They disbanded in 2018, but a lot of their stuff can still be found online.

Kim-Jaekyung (the hottest of the 3 IMHO), Lee-Saeyeon, Han-Minkyung – 3 versions of the back CD cover of a “Naked Girls” album.
Too bad this didn’t last. I think Kim Jaekyung would have been the biggest star on the show judging from her assets.

Miss those times, when Naked News had versions from other countries like Italy, Korea & Japan
