Concept
The concept of the program is to shed light on a masterpiece of literature from all over the world, from classic to contemporary literature. The program invites an expert as the pundit who is best known for the selected masterpiece, in terms of both of the prominent knowledge of (and research on) the title and the excellence in presentation skills to the broad audiences comprehensibly. The pundit explains the profound world of the title concisely, but insightfully and enjoyable. 100 Pun (100 minutes) means the one title will be explained in 25 minutes per week, in a month (4 weeks × 25 minutes = 100 minutes). In the last week, the program will invite another guest commentator and have discussion sessions with the personalities and the pundit (not all the time).
