“We are not a travel recommendation program. You can see stories about people’s lives.”
As Park Na-rae said, KBS2's entertainment show 'Walking Into the Hwanjang' (hereinafter 'Gulhwanjang') was truly a filial piety travel program that is not recommended.

Actor Kim Seung-hyun's family, also known as the 'Gwangsan Kim Family','s trip to Paris is causing discomfort rather than sympathy and envy. The sight of the daughter-in-law planning the schedule, leading everyone from her parents-in-law to her brother-in-law, uncle-in-law, and aunt-in-law, is not only saddening, but even pitiful. In addition, the rude in-laws of the in-laws, disguised as convenience, who wanted to believe that it was a set-up and a tactless husband, were enough to arouse the anger of the viewers.

'Walking Into the Fantasies', which first aired on the 22nd, is an entertainment show featuring the dramatic travel variety of star families with various stories. It captures the disharmony between family members from the moment they pack their bags until they return home.

However, was I too conscious of the keywords 'dissonance' and 'fantasy'? From the first episode, 'Gulhwanjang' aroused astonishment due to the extreme rudeness of Kim Seung-hyun's parents. I almost wish it was a situation staged for entertainment rather than a real situation.

On this day, the in-laws, including Seung-hyun Kim's mother Baek Ok-ja and father Kim Eon-jung, visited the home of Kim Seung-hyun and broadcast writer Jang Jeong-yoon. Following the unexpected arrival of the uncle and aunt, the mother-in-law immediately inspected the refrigerator, and other family members recklessly entered the bedroom, touched the bedding, and even rummaged through the clothes in the dressing room.

Next, the mother-in-law tried on the new clothes that her daughter-in-law had bought as if they were her own and pretended that they were her own. In response, writer Jang Jeong-yoon confessed, “I have taken it off and given it to you a few times.”

No matter how family you are, there are certain etiquette that must be observed. Kim Seung-hyun's parents have already shown a lot of provocative conflicts ranging from swearing to violence to the risk of divorce through entertainment shows such as 'Housekeeping Men 2' and 'Oh Eun-young Report - Marriage Hell'. This is also the reason why responses are pouring in as to whether this is a provocative setting for the purpose of program planning. If not, this is rude beyond imagination.

These situations continued even in Paris, France. Even though she left everything to her daughter-in-law, she complained at the restaurant because her taste did not suit her. Unlike Jang Jeong-yoon, who is embarrassed and trying to prepare food, her husband, Kim Seung-hyun, eats food calmly and is 'on someone else's side' itself. This is why the wife's disappointment exploded, saying, "I wish I could live comfortably."

On top of that, on the way to Mont-Saint-Michel, which takes eight hours round trip, she even declared a hunger strike at a rest stop, asking her son Seung-Hyun Kim to buy some lightweight padding. The sight of her uncle-in-law complaining about the long journey and her mother-in-law raising her voice made her feel tired.

The reason why Kim Seung-hyun's family is frowned upon more than other families is because we have already seen too many fighting scenes through other entertainment shows. In particular, 'Marriage Hell' aroused controversy as it explicitly showed harsh swear words such as "Fuck you" and "I think my body is going to get sick", violence towards her husband, and harsh words such as "He's not even human. .."

However, six months after the broadcast aired, Kim Seung-hyun's father transformed into a cute lover. Kim Seung-hyun's family got a taste of broadcasting, with the family's atmosphere changing depending on the intention of the program. Since they lack sincerity, it is natural that everything they do and say feels uncomfortable. And the most 'fantastic' thing is the 'Gulhwanjang' that sells their image and creates provocative situations.
