Seo Jeong-hee, Na Tae-joo’s travel story ‘Walking into the illusion’

The star family's dramatic overseas travel story unfolds.

On the 19th, the production presentation for KBS2's new entertainment show 'Walking Into the Fanta' was broadcast live online. Na-rae Park, Lee Yu-ri, Kyuhyun, and PD Kim Seong-min attended the event.

‘Walking Into the Fantasies’ is a dramatic travel variety show of a star family with various stories. It contains unpredictable family travel stories from the moment various families pack their bags until they return home. Producer Kim Seong-min, who directed 'The Return of Superman' and 'Music Bank', and writer Kim Mi-yeon of 'The Qualifications of a Man', 'Running Man', and 'Mulberry Academy' teamed up.

Producer Kim Seong-min said, "I previously went to Guam with one child and my parents. My wife likes to travel and is good at making plans, but when we actually went, various accidents occurred. When I saw her having a mental breakdown, I thought it was a fun entertainment point. “It’s done,” he said, explaining the reason for planning it.

He continued, “If we were to describe our program in three words, they would be ‘daily life,’ ‘fantasy,’ and ‘fantasy.’ When you dream of traveling while living your daily life and make plans with fantasy, things that make you crazy will happen. It is a travel program, but it is also a family program. “It is also an observation program. It is a program that mixes the discord between families in a fun way,” he explained.

The traveling family includes Seo Dong-ju, Seo Jeong-hee, and Seo Jeong-hee's three-generation mother and daughter from Taiwan; the family of eight, including Kim Seung-hyun, known as the Gwangsan Kim family, her younger brother, and her parents from Paris, France; siblings Go Eun-ah and Mir, their parents, older sister, and niece from Laos; and Na Tae-ju from Laos. It will feature a travelogue of Thailand by six aunts.

PD Kim said, "As you know, Seo Jeong-hee is currently undergoing chemotherapy after undergoing surgery for breast cancer. I met her and she was very bright and had more energy than me. It made me wonder if she was a real patient. It seemed like she was living a second life. . I thought that if I went on a trip with this person, I would cherish every day. When I actually went, I got angry like a fire, had fun like a fire, and had a fiery trip.”

He continued, "The atmosphere of Kim Seung-hyun's family changed a lot when writer Jang Jeong-yoon came in as the daughter-in-law. She is not an easy-going daughter-in-law. Go Eun-ah and Mir siblings are shown immediately when the camera is on. To Na Tae-joo, the six aunts are like mothers. General public "I thought it would be fun, but after a preliminary meeting, all my doubts were erased. It's full of entertainment and the audio doesn't go blank even for a moment. I went to Thailand and it was so disturbing to the city that it almost appeared on the local news," he added.

The three MCs, Park Na-rae, Kyuhyun, and Lee Yu-ri, pleasantly convey the travel stories of star families. Kyuhyun said, "At first, I didn't know exactly what the program was. When I heard it was called 'Into a Fantasy,' why was it a fantasy? I thought it was a fantasy. I thought it would be fun to go on a trip with my family, but when I went, I thought it wasn't as fun as a fantasy," he said. "I didn't know about the KBS program. "It's been 7 to 8 years since I did it. KBS didn't find me often, but I thought there must be a reason why they found me," he said, explaining the reason for his appearance.

Park Na-rae said, "When I heard about the intention of the project, old memories came back to me. I went on a family trip and it was truly fascinating. Wherever I go, there are variables, accidents, tears, and fights. It's so fun to see the rawness that can come out because we're a family, and I think you can see that." “I felt like it was going to go well. I thought I should spoon it,” he said.

He continued, "'Girl's Dream' is not a trip. It's a drama. Many genres appear in it. It's part of a drama, such as thriller, horror, human, comedy, and melodrama. A lot of really funny things happen. I guess that's why I'm in a fantasy. “When asked who came up with the name, they even said it was a good name,” he added.

Lee Yu-ri expressed her aspirations, saying, "I received an excellence award for KBS' 'Pyeon Restaurant', and I want to aim for an even higher award with this program."

When asked about the family she would like to invite, Park Na-rae said, "Hwang Bo-ra's family is a celebrity family, isn't it? The family, from teacher Kim Yong-geon to Ha Jung-woo, is so close and harmonious. Also, Hwang Bo-ra really likes to travel." Lee Yu-ri chose Kim Soo-mi's family, and Kyuhyun chose DinDin and Eunhyuk.

Kyuhyun said, "Eunhyuk's family recently went on a group trip to Switzerland. I believe Eunhyuk paid for the trip with his entire family in business seats."

The competitor to ‘Geolhwanjang’ is SBS’ ‘My Little Old Boy’. Kyuhyun declared war on Kim Hee-chul, who is appearing in 'My Little Old Boy', saying, "Even these days, I know he's an ugly bastard. I hope we can share and do well together. Let's coexist together." He added, “If you get married, appear here. I will send you on a trip.”

Na-rae Park emphasized, “We are not a travel recommendation program. You can see stories about people’s lives.” When asked about the target viewership rating, he hoped for "10% viewership per minute." Lee Yu-ri said, “When I reach 7%, I want to dress up as Park Na-rae.” Kyuhyun said, “The household viewer rating is 8%,” and pledged, “I will cosplay as Kim Hee-chul’s biggest space star.”

PD Kim was confident, “If you upload just one channel, you can see ‘our pretty chick’ instead of ‘our ugly chick’.”

‘Walking Into the Fantasies’ will be broadcast continuously at 9:20 PM on January 22nd and 7:30 PM on the 23rd, and then every Sunday at 9:20 PM.
