The line-up will begin with 'Adieu 1999! Millennium Sunset', which will feature the last sunset of the century in Korea and other locations around the globe, followed by the 'Millennium Network: The New Millennium Around the World', which will feature the new year festivities in other countries, including the U.S., the U.K. and Japan.
KBS plans to connect Koreans residing all over the world in its 'Korean Network - Arirang Stage' program at 3:30 pm on New Year's Day.
And finally, the spirit of Korean ancestry will be explored in a 'Millennium History Special'.
