Kim Dong-wan, who was often called the nation’s first weathercaster, died Sunday on the age of 89, the state climate company mentioned.
Kim started working as a climate forecaster for what’s now the Korea Meteorological Administration in 1959. Within the Seventies, he began giving climate forecasts at then broadcaster TBC, utilizing catchy phrases, resembling “warmth that appears like a fly is falling asleep,” to seize listeners’ consideration.
He later labored for broadcaster MBC beginning in 1982 and made climate forecasts simple to know by drawing his personal diagrams.
Kim is taken into account to have established the muse for modern-day weathercasts.
In 2010, he was awarded the Camellia Medal of the Order of Civil Advantage in recognition of his work delivering climate forecasts in a well-known and credible method. (Yonhap)
