Daniel Dae Kim is the presenter of a new CNN series, “K-Everything: The Global Rise of Korean Culture,” which examines how South Korea’s popular culture gains global influence. The outlets describe the program as a look at K-beauty, K-pop, K-film and Korean food, using Korea’s cultural industries as a lens on the country’s broader modern transformation. Kim discusses the series as an “examination” of how South Korea rises in roughly three generations, moving from a war-torn postwar period to a highly modernised society. In reporting tied to the show, Kim is shown participating in beauty-related experiences in Seoul, including a microinjection procedure involving salmon-derived DNA intended to reduce inflammation and improve skin elasticity. The series is set to debut on Saturday on CNN International, and it is also available on CNN and HBO Max, according to the sources. The coverage frames the programme as part documentary and part exploration, focusing on themes of how cultural trends spread worldwide through entertainment, cuisine and skincare.

The actor, director and producer lay down in a doctor's office in Seoul and underwent microinjections into his face of DNA from salmon sperm. The hope was to reduce inflammation and improve elasticity. “I look like a got a little sunburn and a little redder than usual, but it’s not bad,” he says to a camera crew after the procedure. “OK, I’m camera ready.” Kim was putting his face on the line as part of the new CNN series “K-Everything: The Global Rise of Korean Culture,” his love letter to K-beauty, K-pop, K-food and K-film.
