Singer and former H.O.T member Moon Hee Joon recently revealed that he has no idea who Bill Gates is.
On an episode of JTBC‘s “Idol Preview,” which aired on February 3, Moon Hee Joon appeared with his fellow singer Son Ho Young and played a game where they had to correctly identify Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Google’s current executive chairman Eric Schmidt.
Even when Moon Hee Joon received the hint that Director Ahn Chul Soo recently met with Microsoft’s Bill Gates, which caused quite a sensation in Korea, Moon Hee Joon had a blank stare on his face.
Ahn response to the hint, Moon Hee Joon stated:
“I swear I have no idea who Bill Gates is.”
And fellow contestant Son Ho Young also added that he knew who Bill Gates is but didn’t know what he looked like.
In the end, Moon Hee Joon correctly identified Bill Gates, but only because his clothes in the picture “looked expensive.” Son Ho Young was also able to identify Bill Gates in the end.

Date: 2012-02-07 07:34 am (UTC)so if they don't mention him in korean schools either (or did so far back that he's forgotten already), the only way hee jun would know of bill gates is through digging around in the media.

Date: 2012-02-07 01:24 pm (UTC)I only know what Bill Gate looks like 5 years ago, when internet is considered to be cheap here. I only know him as microsoft inventor and one of the richest guy in the world.
I always feel glad and sad everytime a topic like this come up on discussion. I know that SK is interet, but there's much more country in this world who is not touch by internet yet. And everytime someone say: "google it" I just laugh bitterly.
