CDY TV
I mean, I know that if I ran the Daily Princetonian there'd be a policy requiring editors to occasionally insert delightfully nonsensical sentences into otherwise truthful articles. Just to see if people were paying attention, you know?But I always figured that Prince editor-in-chief Matthews Westmoreland was a more responsible fellow than me. So I was very surprised to see the following pop up in what had been a straightforward, innocuous profile of outgoing USG president Connor Diemand-Yauman:
Diemand-Yauman said he “hopes to run” for Young Alumni Trustee and intends to volunteer next year with the Global Literacy Project in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. He said he then plans to write and act on his own show on Korean PBS through the same educational content provider that employed him two summers ago.
Unless... do you think this is actually true? Princeton's own CDY is really going to become a Korean Kiddie Television star? If so, that's awesome. Just awesome. Totally awesome. Basically as awesome as this video of the Teletubbies dancing to "Ring Ding Dong" by Korean Boy Band Shinee:POST-SCRIPT! CDY writes in to let us know what's up...
Yes, [this] is indeed true. A couple years ago, I spent the summer working for a content provider to Korean PBS. I started off doing some simple voice acting. After a while, I started pitching some concept ideas to the CEO of the business. She liked my ideas and my stuff was relatively popular so she started giving me more and more creative control until by the end of it I was writing and acting in my own sketches.I have been communicating with the company since my return to the USA and my boss has told me that if I come back, she could get me my own show with the network.
In that case, might we suggest a collaboration with the Teletubbies and/or Shinee?
