Toronto-based Naked News (whose own Yukiko Kimura and Lily Kwan have been featured here and here) has branched out even further by recently launching its Korean affiliate. 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.) Evidently, the show was never an official affiliate of the Totonto-based Naked News franchise and the CEO running things at Naked News Korea was not on the up-and-up. 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.
