Channel S's 'Dagain' recently aired a special episode titled 'High-Quality Filial Piety Trips for 1 Million Won,' featuring celebrity Nam Bo-ra, known for her filial piety, showcasing her witty charm.

The 133rd episode of Channel S's original entertainment program 'Dagain' aired on the 7th. The episode featured a travel package battle with themes such as 'Parents' Profile Picture Spot, Nature's Paradise Toyama, Japan' by Kim Shin-young and travel creator Traveler May, 'The Hong Kong Our Parents Loved' by Lee Seok-hoon and Erai Youth, and 'The Rejuvenating Hot Spring City Tainan, Taiwan' by Choi Tae-sung and Nagang. Actress Nam Bo-ra joined as a travel companion to determine the winner.

The first filial piety travel destination was Hong Kong, visited by Erai Youth. Hong Kong evoked nostalgia with visits to the Mid-Levels Escalator and Tai Kwun, reminiscent of scenes from movies like 'A Better Tomorrow' and 'Chungking Express.' The city also offered a leisurely walk along Lugard Road, providing stunning skyscraper views. Additionally, a Michelin-starred Hong Kong-style clay pot rice full course tantalized taste buds, while a 5-star hotel stay for 230,000 won captured both value and luxury. The trip concluded with a hidden laser show night view, completing a romantic journey for a total cost of 510,000 won.

The second destination was Toyama, Japan, introduced by Traveler May. The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route tour, known as Japan's Alps Tour, offered a breathtaking view of the Northern Alps via bus and cable car, captivating everyone with its awe-inspiring nature. Toyama also delighted taste buds with its local specialty, trout sushi. The final stop was the Unazuki Onsen Village, where a scenic train ride revealed the panoramic view of the Kurobe Gorge, Japan's deepest V-shaped gorge, and a hot spring experience in nature, leaving everyone in awe. Nam Bo-ra, known as the 'Entertainment Industry's Representative Filial Daughter,' praised the destination, saying, 'If I take my parents there, they'd thank me for bringing them.' Toyama offered a healing nature trip for a total cost of 310,000 won.

The final destination was Tainan, Taiwan. As Taiwan's oldest city, Tainan showcased a blend of past and present charm. The city offered personalized tea ceremonies and water calligraphy experiences, providing small joys for parents. The Guanziling Hot Springs, offering themed mud and jasmine baths for just 10,000 won, tempted both parents and the show's hosts. Tainan also featured local eateries in Shennong Street, allowing visitors to savor traditional Tainan dishes like danzai noodles and oyster omelets, completing a list of must-visit restaurants for parents. Additionally, the visit to the Chigu Salt Mountain, valued at 6 billion won, provided a unique photo spot for parents.

Nam Bo-ra, the 'Entertainment Industry's Representative Filial Daughter,' expressed her pride in her titles, saying, 'I never want to lose the titles of 'K-eldest daughter' and 'filial daughter.' As the eldest of 13 siblings, she shared her unique bond with her siblings, mentioning a recent filial trip to Osaka, Japan, funded by her siblings.

Choi Tae-sung revealed a surprising connection, stating, 'I was Nam Bo-ra's brother's high school homeroom teacher and have met Bo-ra a few times.' Nam Bo-ra humorously responded, 'I don't remember meeting you, but it feels like I have,' bringing laughter to the set.

Nam Bo-ra chose Toyama, Japan, as the best filial piety travel destination, explaining, 'The overwhelming natural scenery would make my parents thank me for taking them there.'

Before her entertainment debut, Nam Bo-ra gained attention for her appearances on 'Human Theater' and 'Angels' Choir,' where she was seen caring for her 13 siblings.

Nam Bo-ra is set to marry a fellow entrepreneur in May next year. She recently announced her engagement through a YouTube video titled 'I Got Proposed to While Traveling in Japan.' She shared, 'I met a great partner and promised to spend my life together. We'll show you a happy life together.' Nam Bo-ra met her fiancé through volunteer work at church.
