1st Look PyeongChang South Korea - The 2018 Winter Olympics with Jonathan Bennett and Yuna Kim

The 2018 Winter Olympics are in PyeongChang South Korea and so is 1st Look! Along with film and television personality Jonathan Bennett, we’re exploring all that the Gangwon Province has to offer with some very special guests. We’re hitting the 2018 Olympic cross-country ski-course with US Olympian Andy Newell, and feasting on Korean flavors at a BBQ dinner with the entire US Speedskating Team. We’re climbing, and concurring, the snow-capped peaks of the Taebaek Mountain range with KPOP music sensation Eli Kim. There’s ice fishing, parades, palaces, Korean drinking games and geothermal hot springs. Buddhist temples dusted with the twinkle of fresh falling snow, the best brewed coffee you’ve ever tasted, and an exclusive interview with Olympic gold medalist and Korean figure-skating royalty Yuna Kim, official Korean ambassador of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Come join us as we discover the enchanted South Korean Peninsula and celebrate “Passion, Connected” in PyeongChang.
