Contenders or pretenders?

We currently have three serious offers - that if realized - would polish off our expected Big Swim goal (see the top right scoreboard) of 5,000,000 won to make this project a safe reality.

To not get the Big Swim team too excited (it's happened before, more than once, i.e., shouldn't there have been another '0' at the end of that check?) and to not embarrass a potential talking, but no acting contributor, we will wait for the money to be deposited in the account, before saying or writing anything.

"I Love Korea" TV show appearance

This message is from Jeju-native-yet-globally-minded-Big-Swim-translator Ji-su:

Last time I went on the SBS Web site to watch the program online, you had to pay maybe 500 won. This is the Web site for the program -

http://tv.sbs.co.kr/korea/main.jsp

This is the re-watch Web site -

http://wizard2.sbs.co.kr/w3/template/tp1_review_detail.jsp?vVodId=V0000343971&vProgId=1000608&vMenuId=1012485&cpage=1&vVodCnt1=00010&vVodCnt2=00

There are two boxes, one is pink and the other is yellow. The pink box says "il-ban" in Korean which means normal quality, and the other one on the right says "da-un-lo-deu" in Korean which means download.

Anyway, both of them cost money to watch, which is equivalent to 40 cents in American currency.
