The power of K content that can be ‘experienced through LAN cable’
The 54th episode of Channel S's 'Might I Go Again', which aired on the 13th, included the 'Best 5 Travel Destinations for Walking' segment in which singer KCM accompanied travel partners Kim Shin-young, Lee Seok-hoon, and instructor Choi Tae-seong. We selected the best walking travel destinations under the themes of 'Green plains of Sri Lanka', 'Canada, the land of goblins', 'Spain, the road that gives comfort', 'Mexico, the road that invites kisses', and 'Japan, the aesthetics of slowness'.
Japan ranked 5th, Spain ranked 4th, and Sri Lanka, with its beautiful, clean nature, ranked 3rd. Agent traveler ‘Jinjin Hani’ introduced ‘Nuwara Eliya’, the city of black tea. Even the road leading to the accommodation was covered in blue, making my eyes clear. Next, the historic hotel, which boasts a 135-year history, surprised the studio cast once again with its clean, old-fashioned atmosphere in white tones and once again with its unique hotel structure that provides direct access to an English garden. The sight of a surrogate traveler riding a bicycle in the center of Nuwara Eliya, exploring Lake Gregory and enjoying leisure time, wearing a red sari, a traditional Sri Lankan costume, and walking through the fragrant green plains of tea fields, was healing to those who saw it.
Canada was ranked 2nd as the best travel destination for walking. Quebec, Canada, introduced by creator 'Namgoongyo', was a famous filming location for the drama 'Goblin', which captivated drama fans at home and abroad. Namgungyo possessed Gong Yoo and visited places that actually appeared in scenes in the drama, such as the red door and stores, providing unique fun. In addition, former U.S. President Obama attracted attention by enjoying some leisurely time at the famous Beaver Tail restaurant, which he stopped by as soon as he came to Canada. I visited Petit Champlain Street and the so-called ‘Neck-Breaking Stairs’ due to the steep slopes, took the Quebec Funicular, and enjoyed the pleasure of walking while looking at the panoramic view of Quebec from the Dufferin Terrace.
The long-awaited first place was Guanajuato, Mexico. Creator 'Nomadsion' walked the colorful and attractive streets of Mexico, ate churro snacks, and looked at small shops all over the streets, sharing the joys of a walking trip online. He also took pictures with BTS fans he met on the street and became friends, giving them a warm smile. It introduced beautiful streets that made people want to keep walking indefinitely, such as Kiss Alley, Union Garden, and Piilla Observatory, while also providing healing by conveying the exciting city atmosphere where the cheerful energy of Mexican locals can be felt to the home theater.
This day's broadcast fascinated viewers by introducing not only the majesty of K-Korean culture that has spread around the world, but also beautiful streets that are easy to walk around the world. Kim Shin-young was vicariously satisfied, saying, “Traveling means walking.” Seok-Hoon Lee said, “It was good,” and expressed his deep feelings.
