Lee Chan-won, how desperate was he to pass ‘Mr. Trot’?


Singer Lee Chan-won is immersed in memories of Taiwan.

In JTBC's entertainment show 'Talk Partner 25 O'Clock', which airs today (20th), MCs Jeon Hyun-moo, Takuya, and Kara's Han Seung-yeon share two travel stories to Hokkaido, Japan, as well as online trips to Taipei, Taiwan, and Sicily, Italy. In particular, MC Lee Chan-won shows a strong reaction to his first overseas travel destination, Taiwan.

Before a full-scale online trip, the results of a self-survey will be revealed to find out who you would want to go with if you were to go on a trip with the 'Talk Partner 25 Hours' family. While MC Jeon Hyun-moo and Kim Sook tied for first place as the best travel mates, there is a person who received overwhelming votes for the common reason that people who would be uncomfortable traveling with them, so who is the worst travel mate? The journal is raising curiosity.

Next, in the 'Talk Partner Direct Purchase' corner, a LAN cable trip to Taipei, Taiwan will be held. While Lee Chan-won is especially excited about the anticipation, Taiwan's 'TALK' Pa-won visits Ximen Honglou, famous as the filming location for the popular drama 'Sanggyeonni', and tastes a dessert with a visual inspired by Taiwan's landmark Taipei 101.

Above all, when the world-famous Pingxi Sky Lantern Festival was introduced, Lee Chan-won tells a special anecdote. At the Sky Lantern Festival in the past, he made a wish, “Just to pass the ‘Mr. Trot’ preliminaries and appear on TV.” It is said that Lee Chan-won, who recalled the desperate times at the time, shed tears because he was so moved.

Next, Italy's 'Tok' Pawon leaves for Sicily, which boasts beautiful scenery. Savoca village was the main filming location for the movie 'The Godfather', and the actors who appeared in the wedding scene were actual residents of Savoca village. Italian 'Tok' Pawon also happens to meet the actress who played the role of Apollonia's mother in the play, adding to the interest.

Next, it will provide healing with beautiful scenery, from the unrealistic view of Taormina seen from the seats of Sicily's representative attraction, the amphitheater, to the blue cave seen by boat in Isola Bella, a paradise on earth, and the snow-covered Mount Etna.

Meanwhile, on this day's broadcast, part 2 of MC Jeon Hyun-moo, Takuya, and Kara's Han Seung-yeon's travel stories to Hokkaido, along with Taipei, Taiwan and Sicily, Italy, will be revealed. 'Talk Partner 25 Hours', where you can see beautiful tourist destinations from around the world, will be broadcast at 8:50 PM on this day.
