영주사는 이시갑씨

特定階層에 해당되는 이야기이지만

短波 라디오로 밖이 보는 한국소식을 듣는 때는 지났다.

잘려진 외국신문을 읽는 시대도 지났다.

국내에 報道되는 外信이 말하는 한국소식이 서울발인지도 알 수 있는 時代에 살고 있다.

연속극, 쇼프로그램, 벗는채널은 많이 만들어라.

Lee Si-kap, a shy farmer living in this central South Korean town, holds a record: He owns more satellite dishes than any other South Korean — 85 of them, receiving 1,500 satellite television channels from more than 100 countries, some as far away as South Africa and Canada.

................

Once dismissed as a local eccentric, Mr. Lee has more recently emerged as something of a hero of modest fame, featured on national television as “antenna man.” Since late last year, he and thousands of fellow satellite enthusiasts — including the husbands of foreign brides and a few dedicated souls searching for signals from extraterrestrial life forms — have started a campaign to install free satellite dishes for poor foreign brides living in rural South Korea, so they can receive broadcasts from their home countries.
