Korean celebrity Ricky Kim ("Law of the Jungle," "Let’s Go Dream Team! Season 2," "Jejungwon" and "On Air"), who spent time growing up in Hawaii, has started a new reality program on SBS titled "Oh My Baby." The show follows Ricky and his family, including his young children Taylor and Asher William. The weekly show started on KBFD on Friday and airs in the 6:50 to 7:45 p.m. time slot as the lead-in program for the main dramas. Ricky’s mother resides in Hilo and he often visits the islands, making his usual stop at the Big Island Candies flagship Hilo store. The CEO of Big Island Candies, Allan Ikawa, and his family and I were in Korea a few weeks ago and met up with Ricky, who desires to film an episode in Hawaii. Ricky wants to show the natural beauty of Hawaii versus the iconic Waikiki that is typical of Hawaii promotion in Korea.
