This study aims to analyze the kind of sophisticated semantic network in which ‘TV liberal arts entertainment programs’, which are leading the recent trend of popular humanities education, reproduce ‘liberal arts’ and ‘education’ so as to examine the kind of discourses and values that such reproduction socially produces, mediates and influences. To this end, three research questions were set, and a total of 37 episodes according to four representative TV liberal arts entertainment programs were selected and analyzed using a semiotic method. First, an integrated analysis was conducted on how the elements constituting the lecture contents of the TV liberal arts entertainment programs were structured as a kind of sign system and expressed meanings. As a result of research, five factors were derived as follow: ➀ intellectual authority and knowledge production of experts, ➁ story composition that enhances envolvement and immersion, ➂ compressed arrangement and delivery of attributes, ➃ development and use of a “communication platform”, and ➄ variations of gossip-style talking. Second, a systemic analysis was performed on how the binary oppositions that reproduce liberal arts and education in TV liberal arts entertainment programs are structured. As a result of research, four meaningful aspects were derived as follows: ➀ Educational authority: dual boundary structure between educator and learner, ➁ Educational action: one-sided delivery and acceptance without objection , ➂ Educational communication: superficial question and limited answer , and ➃ Educational relationship: the asymmetry between the birth of knowledge celebrities and the consumer mass . Third, a critical educational culture discourse analysis was used to find out what the social implications of liberal arts and education inherent in the series-relationship of TV liberal arts entertainment programs are. As a result of the study, three main discourses were derived: ➀ “omnipotent key”, the over-empowerment without self-censoring, ➁ “outsourcing of knowledge and culture”, and ➂ criticism of the superficial intellectual desire of the public. Thus, this study found that the reality of artificial arts and education reproduced by TV liberal arts entertainment programs may influence the culture and politics that implicitly mold the dominant consciousness, beliefs, values, and way of thinking related to them in the lives and daily lives of the masses who accept them.
