Oh!

The last search term clicked was 'the first TV in Korea to be auctioned'.



Korea's first television went up for auction.



This is the VD-191 model of Goldstar released in August 1966.




VD is the acronym of the first two words in the English 'vacuum desk type', which means vacuum tube, and 191 stands for 19-inch television No. 1.



On the front, there is a manually turned channel changer and volume control terminal, and there are 4 support legs called 'crane legs'.



At the time of release, the price was around 60,000 won.



Considering that the average monthly income at that time was about 12,000 won, it was an expensive home appliance that was equivalent to five months' salary.



However, it is said to have been so popular that it was sold through a lottery system.




In 2013, the same model was also designated as a national registered cultural property.



The starting price of the auction is 25 million won and will be held online until the 16th.



Netizens responded, "How rich was the person who bought this with 5 months' worth of salary?!", "I think there was a TV like this in our countryside, I'll have to visit it on the weekend."
