(everything about trips) (many amazing tips for those who want to take off) (battle trip) (4 accompanying tour guides) (kim suk, lee hwijae, sung sigyeong, san e) sung sigyeong. how nice to meet you. (this footage is filmed by mc sung) (this footage is filmed by mc lee)
i've wanted to do this. san e, how nice to meet you. what is it officially called? just spinning around. no, it is called something. my teammate, suk. sadly, suk has a sore throat today. i lost my voice. so you can call me the little mermaid of comedy.
well, we find the term 'little mermaid' to describe you baffling though. did that happen due to the kiss with yoon jeongsu? (i am watching you) let's just stick to pleasant topics. these days, travellers bring this thing. the love birds take pictures, you know. you know. (they look cute together!)
and on sns, people do this. nowadays this is very popular and commonly used so we tried this, too. you know it's cherry blossom season. everyone is holding one. they're all going crazy in yeouido. why don't you introduce this program? it's simple, guys. it's a trip competition! a trip competition!
after watching the trips just press the button of the trip you want. what do you want? a honeymoon? yes, a honeymoon is good. - yes. / - honeymoon. what do you prefer, sung? let's say... choose any theme. what would you choose out of all themes?
i like going places to eat. - to eat? / - yes. eating again. like traditional markets. going places to eat, or to drink? to eat and drink. i want to go on any trips but family trips. - really? / - travelling alone? (daddy, where are you going?)
guys, when you go somewhere with two twin boys, then that's not a trip. it's a workout. okay, let's say someone's babysitting the twin boys. then what would you do? i want to go to the us, 100%. with your wife? huh? just the two of you?
no, no. my wife doesn't know rules of baseball. - so alone? / - so i have to go alone. i have to go alone, by myself! (come on) just endlessly watching baseball, alone. endlessly. this is really discouraging for many bachelors. when married guys hears someone else say
i'll travel with my wife, or i love my wife they all scorn him for being silly. why would they? that is being silly. so i'll go alone and endlessly watch park byungho, lee daeho and kang jungho. that way i'd miss her more. he's just saying it but before coming in
he was talking over the phone and was really sweet. yeah, family is everything to me, actually. here's our first travel theme. let's see it. a one-day trip you want to leave for now. (a one-day trip you want to leave for now) today's audience make the most of every second. nice to meet you. on what standards did you select them?
these guys out here are like if tomorrow is saturday or sunday they'd just get up and go once they set their mind it after watching this show. so they're in need of one-day tour coordination. right. wait. why do we have "descendants of the sun" on our script? it says here song joong...
(attracting fans all over the place) (today's guest is massive korean wave star) song joongki? (who can this be?) do we get to see his house? (he's riding a skate board) wow. (is today's guest a man?) he's better off.
better off. (the living room indicates he is a neat guy) wow, is this a convenient store? (amazing) (snack mania) (drinking out of the tab?) why is he drinking out of the tab? very delicate. (showing affection to his plants)
is there somewhere do you want to go? he's skinny. nowadays they all use one-day tickets. korean people usually go to busan. it only takes 2 and a half hours by ktx. leaving early on ktx and have delicious raw fish or food of busan. i hate losing. we should win.
to draw attention to win. this drama is hot now so i'll use "descendants of the sun." - wow. / - yes! (is it him?) (making the whole world fall in love with yoo shijin) (best drama of 2016! "descendants of the sun") is it greece? you can't go to greece in one day.
jingu. (stealing women's hearts with precious quotes) this just looks weird to me. who kisses like that? just say you're jealous. yes, i'm jealous. lucky them! i kissed you without consent. i told you not to bring that up...
should i apologize? or confess my feelings? (stealing women's hearts, song joongki) (halo effect of "descendants of the sun" for victory) students. just girls. he doesn't care for the boys. (it's an honor to meet you!) who's our guest today?
(who's our next guest?) hello, guys. isn't that an academic institution? he's a teacher. hey, our audience knows him. (who's our second trip coordinator?) (representing korea) (star history teacher seol minseok) seol minseok.
teacher seol. and then there is another one. (he looks like an idol) (using in-ear monitor) in-ear monitor. - a singer. / - a singer. performing abroad? i think so. what is this?
who is this? (who could this guest be?) he's here, he's here. yoon doojoon. and seol minseok. and leeteuk. leeteuk, leeteuk. please introduce yourselves to the viewers. (sigyeong & san e team's lineup)
(cheering just at hello) i am expert on korea history who have taught korean history for 21 years on this soil. hi, i'm yoon doojoon of beast. hi, i'm leeteuk. (leeteuk is on suk and hwijae's team) these are the guys we're competing against. oh, really? see, one person is left unrevealed.
i want to start with an apology. why? doojoon and mr. seol is amazing but the drama "descendants of the sun." i think it will lead us straight to victory. just tell us this one thing. is song joongki coming or not? that's a secret. how can i reveal that?
- huh? / - it's a strategy. are you wondering about song joongki? because if this is just a hoax then this could backfire. oh, right. dear viewers and 100 panels whom i respect. since when did you respect? my dear 100 panels whom i respect. you look especially beautiful and lovely today.
please give us your precious vote. we've recently had an election. please also give us your vote and we'll soon see if song joongki is coming here or not. good, good. great, great. i think they will be fair and vote on the content itself.
why don't we have a vote now? continuing this mood, we'll have a preliminary vote. what's interesting is that we won't be giving you any devices but you'll be voting on your own phones through an app. if you're curious about leeteuk's tour then press the button for his team. and if you're curious about doojoon's trip then press a button for his side.
what's the result of preliminary vote? (descendent of song joongki, leeteuk) (renowned lecturer mr. seol) (and his partner yoon doojoon!) (which team would the 100 panels choose?) yoon doojoon wins. (yoon doojoon and seol minseok wins) thank you. great, this is great.
well, a twist is highlight of any show. so it ain't over till it's over. battle trip is like sports. a drama without scripts. it's bottom of the 9th with 2 outs. in bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, you most likely lose. about 95% of the time. the public opinion is god's will. we won't let you guys down
and try hard until the end. (you're the best) we're only halfway done. until the end... it ain't... it ain't over till it's over. until the end, we will not settle for anything and we'll put in our best efforts and try to win you over. kim suk is really in a bad condition.
do you have something to say? we have to see the first half. i'm out of options. - out of options. / - yes. okay. (beautiful landscape & refreshing ocean) what do you mean, greece for one-day trip? - no way. / - check this out. you'll know when you see this.
(leeteuk camera on) is that cheongnyangni station? yes, it is cheongnyangni station. his name is a hot keyword. joongki. before the drama had aired, i worked out with him. oh really? let me call him
and cast him for our show. (calling song joongki) he's taking long to pick up. (hey, he picked up!) (he is approaching) (finally song joongki is here!) isn't that k. will? (finally, henry appears) you're late.
you know many younger girl colleagues so why call henry? it's easy to order him around. we're going to... do you know "descendants of the sun"? it's really popular. so today we'll be going to the film set of "descendants of the sun." (leeteuk searched the location in advance)
contrary to popular belief that it's in greece it's in taebaek gangwon-do. tibet? no, not tibet, taebaek. just the two of us? yes, just the two of us. - throughout the day? / - yes. someone else will come, right? there is nobody!
- nobody? / - no. let's see. okay, next. you know how to do this? whoa. (cheongnyangni -> taebaek) (train time for one-day trip: cheongnyangni -> taebaek) (07:05~11:08 / 09:10 ~ 12:50)
how much? 15.30 dollars per person. is that mugunghwa station? yes, it is. we're leaving, we're leaving. did you actually get excited? just to be on the train is romantic and nostalgic. i'm hungry.
have you had breakfast? no, i haven't had anything. (a loaf of bread is better than the song of taebaek mountain) (the door seems to be stuck) (because it's automatic) henry has never been on this. (embarrassed) well, that's the fun of travel.
we need something hilarious. (henry looking for an automatic door) that was a sliding door. it brings me back memories. you remember this, right? i do. we have a snack compartment so you can enjoy a meal when you're hungry. wow, they have a game room?
karaoke. i want rice. me too. rice. two rice boxes. it's 11.20 dollars. paying with credit card. yes. henry, you hold on to these.
make sure to keep the receipts, okay? okay, got it. receipts are most important. i designate you as a manager. (manager sounds good, huh? it is!) so i'm a very important person on this trip. (sure, someone important who will take care of chores) wow, this looks delicious. they had good lunch boxes.
(crazy eating show) it looks good. you'd only get motion sickness. only if you count the telegraph poles. (this is the joy of travel!) you won't get dizzy when you look afar. henry, looking out a great view in a running train, doesn't the rice taste better?
it does. (suddenly a barricade appears) don't count that one. you count that? that barricade... - wow. / - wow. whoa, it's pretty. (taebaek-bound train gives and takes away great views) how long does it take?
it takes 4 hours. it's not that close. it takes about 3 and a half, or 4 hours. hey, what is that? henry, look at that. (am i dreaming?) (snow in spring!) snowpiercer? there was heavy snow even though it was late march.
it's like swiss. oh my god. now, we're in taebaek. may i ask you something? when does the last train leave here? from taebaek to cheongnyangni station. the last train leaves at 6:24. 6:24 it's 11 o'clock so we don't have much time.
after all that trouble going there... that's good information. they say the bus passes every hour. and there is a rental car service. is it snowing? yes, it's snowing. in the late march? so it's until the same hour tomorrow? no, later tonight.
so we get a discount if we return this car tonight? no. the minimum hour is 24 hours so you have to pay 24 hours fee even for 1 hour. come on, sir... (acting adorable) (good job, henry) i'll give you a 60% discount. do i sign here?
yes, sign here. (rental car 82.50 dollars per day / at 50% discount) (leeteuk's driver's license) look at this. (rock and roll baby?) (henry's picture is also something) what happened to your face? did you get punched? (still cute, though) (anyway, they rent their car)
- let's go. / - go. drive carefully. (but taebaek's heavy snow greets them) (descendants of taebaek's travel map) (about 30 mins - jeongseon mine) (the old exhausted mine still remains intact) (admission: 13 dollars) (tour hour: 9:00 ~ 18:00 on summer season closed on mondays)
(now they're descendants of taebaek!) i haven't seen you in a while. who are you? hello, i am captain yoo shijin. you look good in uniform. - do i look good? / - yes. really good. looks amazing. (same uniform, different reaction)
they don't rent that outfit there, do they? not yet. here we are. so this is the actual film set? i think it's this way. this way? what is this? (wait a minute!) here it is, here it is. you guys remember, right?
this is the place. (mysterious) people will be crazy over this place from tomorrow. lined up. here, two valves. and there are tiles. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 tiles. setting foot on exactly the 7th tile! (episode 8 of "descendants of the sun")
what do you need more time for? i have two daughters. two daughters? hey, i never knew you had daughters. i was just acting. so am i. you are! is this a shower room? we do have sculptures
and pictures here. but really, back in the days 200 miners took showers at once in this room. here are traces of how our fathers and grandfathers worked hard to build the korea we know today. now we're headed to an old commute road of miners. really? through here? yes, they commuted through here.
we love our family, we love our nation. one their way to work, they read that. thinking of their family. touching. family members of miners come here and cry when they see this. (next film location of "descendants of the sun"?) this building we saw a while ago.
it's like the set of music video. look here, here. it's here, right? so it wasn't greece. no, it was not greece, it was taebaek. it was taebaek. ("descendants of the sun") (episode 8) transport him to medi-cube.
bring another stretcher. how cold they must have been. look at the breath coming out. is there someone else? me, me. the survivor. it's descendants of taebaek, you guys. don't do that. are you alright? do you know what it is?
(serious) (even the opposing team is impressed with his acting) it's fun what they did with his voice. it almost looks real, doesn't it? good job. now we have to eat something. so joongki recommended a diner to me. it really is the diner he recommended. this time it's for real.
where is it? the diner he told me is around here somewhere. let's see how good this place is, and see if this is the real deal. let's visit there give an honest review! did he say it's good? - then let's go. / - okay. - okay. / - let's go. (moving on to the diner)
wow, it's snowing again. (travel map - takes about 30 mins) (diner recommended by song joongki) i'm really looking forward to it. you become speechless. what is the menu? the diner recommended by song joongki himself. this place is real. this is not a lie.
we'll show you the menu soon. did you have anyone in mind as your companion? i'm a man of a certain age so i like idols. what about girl group? girl group is good but i like yoon doojoon. i know him from this drama i saw. so you're a fan. (footage by tvn) he played king sejong.
i will no longer rely on superstition to deal with crucial matters of the dynasty. along with jiphyeonjeon, i will have you know that i'll forecast the sky through numbers. he's like a cool, young korean man. you really are a fan. i know. (teacher, i'm coming) (finally, he sees him)
(seeing doojoon, he grins from ear to ear) (doojoon and mr. seol meet for the first time) i have been thinking about the team name. a path where history and taste comes alive. (browsing) gyeongju is nice. this place is the best. (battle trip's recommended destination, gyeongju) (gyeongju - enjoy silla's history and buddhist art!)
(repository of korean history registered on unesco) it's far, right? we don't want to go too far. i really want to try delicious jeolla-do food. it's delicious. i've never had a proper meal there. it's a long-hour drive by car. i know, it's supposed to be a one-day tour. why don't we take a day to tour seoul.
you know the term, seoul hillbilly. there are a lot of seoul citizens who doesn't know much about its attractions and rarely visit one. you can see king jeongjo in cheonggyecheon stream. for the first time in korea! the actual face of king jeongjo which nobody knew, will be revealed. once we get there, it won't turn out to be a joke or pun, right?
(after that day, mr. seol went on an exploration) you enjoy a ball game with a baseball player and a historic tour with someone who knows history. here is yoon doojoon. (king dujong is here) (deoksugung is accessible to citizens) (starting point: 11am, at junghwajeon of deoksugung) (what stories will deoksugung hold?) (joseon pretty boy is studying hard)
hey, your team used joongki, too. just this once. (from seonggyungwan, 600 years ago) (mr. seol flew over to seoul, 2016) (where are thou, king dujong?) (seoul, 2016) (walking with dignity) (the aura of king) what is with your hair?
looks like the king had his hair done in a salon. sir. teacher. i am looking for my teacher. oh teacher, where are thou? this is deoksugung palace. mr. seol. (mr. seol spotted) you majesty.
how have you slept through the night, your majesty? (he bypasses difficult royal expressions) (taking selfies as soon as they meet) finally we're here. you should go see deoksugung at night. (a fine weather fit for a tour) today... - you look amazing in it. / - the royal robe, gonryongpo.
you look great in gonryongpo. now we're both dressed in hanbok. look around the staff members. they're all in hanbok. in 5 major palaces in seoul the admission is free if you wear hanbok. so girls are wearing hanboks and they look so cute. foreigners wear hanbok a lot too and take pictures. as a souvenir.
that building is seokjojeon hall. made with stone? sentiment of joseon and modern era are mixed here in deoksugung palace, let's go meet king gojong. is it opened to the public? it is, but you have to make a reservation online one week prior to visit. by the hour.
maximum of 15 people by the hour. here, emperor gojong... this is the first floor lobby of seokjojeon hall built for emperor gojong. amazing. it's fancy. fancy. we'll see each detail here. this is not a replica, but an authentic rail.
you can feel the air of korean empire. - this is... / - the bedchamber. yes, the emperor's bedroom. (seokjojeon's secret - gojong didn't live in seokjojeon. it was used as temporary lodging for king yeongchin) you see emperor gojong's family tree here. this is he. there is a first secret revealed in deoksugung. - what secret? / - you know what that is?
the telephone. one tale about the telephone is that at those times, before execution the king's approval was necessary. but one day the emperor found a charge odd. a young man was sentenced to death for punishing a japanese who mocked the death of empress myeongseong. so gojong saw this charge and he made a phone call saying he must have been upset
and death penalty is too harsh, so set the man free. so the man named kim changsu wasn't executed. that young man kim changsu... he was baekbum kim gu. (an untold historic tale) i got goosebumps. you did? really. his country was stolen from him but
through kim gu, he let him save the country. (the hidden history of telephone) that really sent a chill down my spines. what about selfies at deoksugung? it's important. it's all about selfies these days when you travel. everyone is on sns. ah, the photo zone. you have to show off.
- in hanbok. / - yes. - ta-da. / - it opens. it opens. it's only opened to public on summer seasons. this is beautiful. take pictures here. see, they're having fun and having a meal but the other team has still not arrived. this place is amazing. let's take selfies together.
(photo zone in seokjojeon / selfies are in) - really beautiful, right? / - yes, it is. i think many people will love it here. we'd need a souvenir. souvenir? they don't sell any souvenirs here, do they? there is, but you don't have to pay for it. it would make a precious souvenir. korean empire history hall. in the underground floor.
today's souvenir. - what is it? / - ta-da. the first passport in korea. rubbing experience. you are full of energy. you can take that with you. hurray for taste and history road! (why am i the only one embarrassed?) (deoksugung -> cheonggyecheon stream) now the taebaek team just got there, right?
this is where i actually filmed. what are we eating? we're having naengmyeon. naengmyeon is great. emperor gojong loved naengmyeon. you infuse history with food as well. sure. it smells great. we're going there since it was gojong's favorite food. it's meaningful.
i'm starving. i'm so hungry as well. - have a seat. / - yes. a lot of dishes on the menu. naengmyeon, hot noodles. i love noodles. let's order them all. naengmyeon, hot noodles, dumplings and galbitang. naengmyeon.
and then galbitang. this is holy. (the table is full) wow, galbitang. - ah! / - is it mulnaengmyeon? god, i love it. (tasting the soup first) with the pure taste of noodles! mmm.
mmm! (helping each other) he suddenly felt quiet. the food must be really good. you don't talk much when you eat something great. (one has to tear the galbi to enjoy it) we ordered 4 dishes and finished all of them. it's like a tornado swept here. (cheering) (100 panels are welcoming them)
(today's tour coordinator henry) (this is descendants of taebaek) hello, sorry i'm not captain yoo shijin. you did a great job. didn't you have a hard time? you seemed to be having a harder time. write what you want to say. i think he brought you along to boss you around. didn't you get upset?
(guilty) i drove the whole time. still he took you because he cared for you. you didn't visit many places in korea, right? it's been 9 years since i've lived in korea and i didn't know such place existed. that's what travels are for. - i know. / - the best! there are a lot of places.
anyway, you did a great job. nah. i think we won, though. no, no, it ain't over until it's over. it's not easy to travel 4 hours to and back in a day. total of 8 hours. you'd have to get up at 5am in the morning. it doesn't have to be in the early morning. then when?
you can leave late. the last train leaves at 6! today's travel theme is 'one-day trip'. ah, that's right. you don't see snow these days. yes, it was really a special experience. i know from my experience in gangwon-do, that in gangwon-do, it snows until may 5th. it's your last chance to see the snow.
what, are you dying this year? you can see snow next winter. it's too far away. these days you need to have special experiences. that's the most important thing. so go see snow on may 5th. then i'll ask a pointed question. you've said if you're in hanbok the admission is free. what about modernized hanbok?
it's still free. - it's free when you wear modernized hanbok? / - is it? sure. the hanbok is already modernized. it's not the traditional one worn by our ancestors. he's really eloquent. okay. huh? did you enjoy galbitang? did you just poke him? he just wore them for his looks.
i've never seen anyone trying to poke someone's eye. no, i wasn't going to poke your eye. he was just saying hello. that's how he does it? nice offense. we've looked at the past history in seoul. and leeteuk went to taebaek and introduced modern history that we're writing now. you're too eloquent.
okay so. we need something like that. leeteuk and henry, you did great job. i don't know how to say this... winning and losing are not important. but i think the fans are already rooting for us. public opinions are god's will. what? i said, we still have song joongki's menu.
it's our hidden card. we have more, too. it would be awesome if song joongki came in with this. yeah. i can tell by looking at the sign this place is great. (did leeteuk and henry make it?) did joongki really come here? yes, he took photos with the owner. (identifying the diner recommended by joongki.
what did he eat? (what did captain yoo shijin like?) he liked salted mackerel. salted mackerel! salted mackerel and stir-fried spicy pork. okay, great. you must be hungry. (the fake captain yoo shijin appeals how hungry he is) let's get in.
just say something! mushroom stew. it was cheap. there were so many side dishes. so many side dishes. isn't it because you guys are on tv? no, no, they're generous. (looking great) (sweet and spicy stir-fried pork)
(song joongki's salted mackerel) (table of the sun) that's a lot. try each side dish. they're delicious. (to welcome food wiping his mouth carefully) why would you wipe your mouth before eating? how is it? what is it? squid...
salted squid! is it good? this is the exact menu song joongki ordered. (finally, it's song joongki's mackerel) where is song joongki mackerel? did you catch this yourself? (of course not) we're busy running a diner, no time to fish! the ladies find henry so adorable.
the guys find him adorable, too. that looks delicious. you want that too, right? they are now eating, too. (this taste is?) (they are speechless, almost breathless) i can't even put it into words. this is really amazing. that was great.
(gobbling) god, i'm going crazy. it's completely different from diners in seoul. (he knows how to eat his pork wrapped in vegetable!) with perilla leaf and garlic. (even song joongki is in love with this crazy taste!) you know taebaek unit on "descendants of the sun"? is this the film set? this is where taebaek unit was set.
(about 15 mins - (former) hanbo mine open set of "descendants of the sun") (it was in taebaek, not in greece!) that was here, taebaek! (what would the set look like now?) we'll be visiting here. that place was taebaek? that looks really exotic. this is... i don't understand this, either.
i'm baffled myself. (no trace at all!) there is nothing? they put the whole thing down. that was the whole set. (i'm sure there was a set when i looked up) (why isn't there anything?) i was really looking forward to see the set. that was where the medi-cube was.
down there, where medi-cube used to be. medi-cube was here. here's where it was. but where did it go now? do i need to use my imagination? so there's nothing on the set? nothing now. there isn't anything now. this is where this used to be. you see?
no, i can't see. medi-cube was right here. there. this one, this one was here. no, not there. where? here, here, it must have been here. isn't the set over there? are you sure it's here? i don't know. and this should be about here. let's go over there. maybe set is down there and our view is blocked.
it will be a twist if it were hidden back there. i'll really be disappointed if there's nothing. henry, it is a possibility. i'm quite baffled myself... it's like they went to an archeological site. there is nothing here! just down there. (deserted) see, henry.
whether there is a set or not isn't important. then what is? it's important that we're here. there is a lot to see here. (taebaek unit set is currently up for reconstruction) a set that promotes imagination. then where was the poster picture taken? it wasn't done here. huh? you said it was done here!
now i see it's down there. (about 5 mins - (former) hanbo mine earthquake scene of "descendants of the sun") - the earthquake scene. / - yes. (the site where earthquake occurred in the drama) this is the most famous scene of the poster. henry, this is the right place, though! see, that collapsed structure. they wanted to make it look like an earthquake
so they installed a bomb and make that spot collapse. the highlight of the drama was tying shoelaces. (episode 6) (this scene pulled at women's heartstrings) there is the collapsed building there. take the building from 45 degrees, you see? i'll go there. 1, 2, 3, 4... going through this trouble will be memorable.
35 steps. good, now run back. yes! run back. there are two rails. you see these lines here? if you sit here you can be song hygeia and song joongki. (reenacting highlight of "descendants of the sun")
(fidgeting) (flap!) come on, why can't you tie it? (at the site of descendant of the sun poster) this is fun. (when will they be heading last?) now they should head home. the sun set. (about 25 mins - cheoram station)
lastly, we headed for cheoram station. what is this place? that was really interesting. the birth of taebaek. wow. whoa. what? what? - hello. / - hi. they're having pork and soju. so we've visited the film location
and what do you think, henry? i think this trip is an opportunity to let many people know about taekbae here. no, it's taebaek! about taebaek. it's good that we promote taebaek. we should go now. - yes. / - let's go.
let's go home on the train. (cheongnyangni station -> about 4 hours -> taebaek station -> about 3 mins rental car -> about 30 mins film location of descendants of the sun) it was a fruitful trip. really, great job. for a fan of "descendants of the sun" i think it's a worthy trip. - i feel energetic after a good meal. / - i know.
now it's our team. looking really relaxed. hurrah! you sound really motivated. of course. (naengmyeon diner -> cheonggyecheon stream square) cheonggyecheon stream. (starting team taste & history's afternoon course) is this where the stream begins?
(dynamic camera angle) in cheonggyecheon stream, there are two secrets we pass by without noticing. - secrets? / - yes. what if you spot those secrets, doojoon? (people easily pass by this place) (photographed by kim joowon) (600 years of history is alive) (and it has seen korea's ups and downs)
(this is our seoul) what is that? computer graphics. i was shocked. (cheonggyecheon is now a place for relaxing) (what are the historic secrets?) it feels good to be here. the sunlight is warm. this is nice.
don't you see the afterimage of the joseon ladies doing laundry here? i can see that. they'll put in cg. i thought you were saying there actually is something. this is gwangtong bridge. it was the most crowded bridge in cheonggyecheon stream. there is a hidden secret here.
look around, like an archeologist. indiana jones. i can feel it. i didn't do any research, i can just feel it. for real? doojoon is very bright. he spots everything. (search for the secret of gwangtong bridge) (following his gut)
is it this way? you did research. - no? / - no, i'm not kidding. you see, they all share the same design with vivid, bright color. these stones were made not too long ago. but along the way... the true secret! the colors look different.
someone put in a popsicle stick. don't leave this, people. foreign tourists come here so we can't have popsicle sticks. i'll take this away. there are a lot. (gasp) don't do this. this is fish cake stick.
we can't have these in historic sites. what will the secret be? can you find out what the secret is? this one! the clue of the first secret? yes, this one. correct! is this historic? it is indeed, totally historic.
give me a sketchbook. do we have a sketchbook? who founded joseon dynasty? - taejo... / - lee seonggye. lee seonggye. he had a lot of children. they all share the word 'bang' in their names. these children are born from madame han. bangbeon and bangseok from madame gang.
gang family contributed to make lee the king but there was also bangwon. the next king was to be bangwon... (bangwon contributed a lot to founding joseon dynasty) now we start hunting. but gang wanted her son, bangseok to be the next king. after bangwon became the king he took out the tombstone of madame gang and stuck it here cheonggyecheon stream upside down.
he let people stomp all over the queen's tombstone. when you don't know, it's just a road. when you don't know, it's just a ground. but when you know, it's our hidden national treasure. and they'll tell you precious stories. this is chilling. i know. lee bangwon was a scary man. this is fun. you need to go with an expert. your view grows wider.
next, for the first time in korea we'll reveal how king jeongjo looked like. as you've said before. honestly, i'm really looking forward to it. so i'm imagining. what will he look like? it will be more than anything you could ever imagine. is this ebs? what's wrong with the educational channel? nothing, i like to study.
here is our second secret. painting of king jeongjo's march towards the grave. jeongjo's grandfather is yeongjo. do you know the tragic crown prince between them? crown prince sado. in the movie 'sado', there is this scene where so jisup is dancing. it's showing his father how he has grown and become a good king.
(jeongjo thought of his father a lot) he was a very dutiful son. he visited his father, sado's grave very often. when king goes out for the march he would be surrounded by retinue. this painting describes the march centering the king and restores how it looked. (fresh recording of history)
(can be found in cheonggyecheon stream) that was a grand march. the painting only depicts the king and public servants so it doesn't describe it all. but in reality, at the front and the back many people followed in lines. so it wasn't just a simple march of the king. it was a national festival. this is really long.
he put his people through a lot of trouble. this is not copying and pasting, right? each person is different. so now we've seen the painting, banchado. it's painted by kim heungdo. you can actually see what jeongjo looked like here. now look for king jeongjo. among these many people? yes, you can.
he must be there somewhere. wouldn't he be at the center? it's like finding waldo. i saw a palanquin, was he there? - did you notice a palanquin? / - yes. (they passed by the palanquin) it was at the back. he must be somewhere in the front or center. but this is a really long march.
i've been looking at the painting. hey! the palanquin! this must be the one i saw. hong was in a palanquin and jeongjo on the left horse. - is this jeongjo's left horse? / - yes. (looking for the left horse) he isn't here. he is not here. no, he is not here. the king cannot be portrayed.
(getting chills) this is what king jeongjo looked like. (king jeongjo was surrounded by a large retinue) so he was protected. (under joseon's law, the king wasn't painted!) so that was law. it could have been for security reasons. also they couldn't dare describe the king. king jeongjo is alive in our hearts.
this is amazing. with king jeongjo! - cheese. / - cheese! at that spot there are mark stones so people can easily spot it. we won. you have to see this in person. so you can feel it for real. i don't think you can get the same feeling from tv.
i looked at it to find him following the march but i can't see him. i was like, hey, where is the king? but the fact was he wasn't painted. (a historic fact we didn't know!) cheonggyecheon stream is really unique. i can see it with a new view. cheonggyecheon stream is a famous romantic hangout. i think one can tell this
to his girlfriend who hadn't watched this show. or fathers can tell their children and it would be really educational. it was a really great tip for me. i've learned things i never knew. this place became quite precious to me. this whole trip would be valuable, i think. cheonggyecheon stream. this is nice. cheonggyecheon stream looks different now.
(where is their next course?) (insa-dong street) this street went crazy due to doojoon's popularity. - insa-dong. / - insa-dong. (doojoon has never been to insa-dong) it's your first time in insa-dong? i've never entered the street. it was my first time walking through the street. ta-da.
there are a lot of snacks in insa-dong. hotteok tastes great. what are you eating. a croquette. (my type of snack) (this is a fancy snack enjoyed by the king!) (people gather around) (people gathered to see doojoon) the foreigners loved him.
(high school girls join, too) insa-dong is nice. you look really handsome. do you love yoon doojoon? - yes. / - yes. then wave to them. (the girls join them) (are they still following?) the crowd is thinning.
even the fans grow tired. namsan mountain? that'd be too far from here. (the national museum of korean contemporary history) it's after nightfall. a picture is worth a thousand words. here? yes, let's go and see. night view from here!
the national museum of korean contemporary history. (what will the view look like?) come on in. this looks amazing at night. many couples come here to take pictures. this would be a really nice place to go on a date. isn't this amazing? this seoul... fantastic!
seoul is a city where korea's past, present and future coexists. this spot shows that. looking amazing. don't the cars look amazing? i don't know why, but they look really cool. the whole world looks amazing. can anyone go there? sure.
won't it be expensive? it's free. - free? / - sure. (photo spot / with gwanghwamun in the background) we are sorry that you lost. you worked hard in the cold and made a good program. but there is always next time. this time, taste & history will take the victory.
there's nothing on the set of "descendants of the sun." under contract, they had to take down the set after the filming was complete. they took the set down, but they will reconstruct it. yes, starting in june the set will be reconstructed. many fans requested from abroad so it will be funded by the government. to build the same set! what was the most impressive attraction
in your trip, doojoon? i think the last night view of seoul would be great to go see with your loved ones. from the terrace of history museum you see history. jeong dojeon set the location of gyeongbokgung. but muhak disagreed with him. both were the right-hand and left-hand man of lee seonggye. muhak insisted building the palace
in yeonsei university site. there is mt. gwanak. mountains with 'ak' in its name has energy of fire. so he said there would be fire, 100%. that's why he insisted building the palace in east, the yeonsei university site. but lee agrees with jeong dojeon. so gyeongbokgung was built in its current site. but even jeong dojeon was afraid of a fire.
so there is statue of haechi. you know, haetae. it's the guardian of water protecting us from fire. but even the haetae couldn't stop all the fires. gyeongbokgung palace saw many fires, small and big. you can see the history. muhak... (clapping like seals) on site of yeonsei university.
(mr. seol's wonderful lecture) you're talking as if they're your friends. like you had a drink with jeong dojeon last night. left-hand man, right-hand man. this is a season for gyeongbokgung palace because there is a pond there called gyeonghuiru. it's color is most beautiful in this time of the year. - he swayed them. / - it's color is emerald. because they put sterilants in the pond now.
so the water is a beautiful emerald color. this is the season for taebaek. you can enjoy the green mountain. no, it was black. snow, snow. ah, snow. guys, it snows until may 5th. enjoy christmas eve on children's day, may 5th. fantastic.
so when your kids want to see snow on children's day you can go to taebaek. they all put in their winter clothes. now let's summarize our trips. please go ahead. i'll speak, on your eye level. our trip was a trip travelling through 500 years of joseon history backwards. deoksugung was the palace of the fallen nation
where emperor gojong was robbed of his country. so you can see our dark history of 1910, when our country was taken from us. i'll give you 2 tips. you can travel backwards. start at gyeongbokgung, the beginning of joseon, to cheonggyecheon of late joseon dynasty and to deoksugung, the end of joseon, to wrap up the trip would be good, too.
another tip is you can visit those places in beautiful hanbok with family, lover and friends. we'd feel proud of ourselves and nothing can be more beautiful when foreigners sees us. (you're amazing) leeteuk was in a beautiful uniform. i'll look you in the eyes
and communicate with you while feeling you breathe. at cheonggyecheon station you ride the train... cheongnyangni station. not cheonggyecheon station. cheongnyangni station! cheongnyangni station, not cheonggyecheon station. go on a romantic train trip to taebaek. you can see the grand nature. and the first film location of "descendants of the sun."
samtan imart... (disaster) i think we lost. cheer up. we lost. we're doomed. let's check the budgets of both teams. because it's the most important part. it could make or break a trip.
we should see, because their trip could have cost them a fortune. let's see the transportation fee. for us, it's 0 dollars. 82.30 dollars. (oh my god) 180 dollars? was our trip cost that much? round-trip train ticket plus
rental car costs 127.20 dollars. you don't need a rental car. this is a 60% discount price. then i'll recommend this trip to song joongki fan club. (what a witty guy) we don't know how many of them are here. okay, this is time for the final vote. it's the time of the final decision.
we have to be nervous. yes, stay alert. is it taebaek? where you can feel song joongki? or seoul, where you can go right away? which trip would you like to go? go? (please) (let's see!) taebaek, taebaek...
(which team will 100 panels choose?) let's see the final vote result. is it team descendants of taebaek, who went far to taebaek in the early morning? or is it team taste & history road who captured the morning in deoksugung palace and night in gyeongbokgung palace touring throughout seoul in one day? let see
the final results! (taste & history road) (each team feels joy and sadness) first win. great job. no, no, do a closing comment. are you going already? let's count the votes. why would you say that?
how many votes did they get? 92 versus 8. thank you so much. congratulations. i told you to help me. great job, leeteuk. they say a loaf of bread is better. dude! come over to this side.
we'll give the 92 panels the gift of a travel kit. many amazing tips for those who want to take off. the optimized program for battle trip travellers is coming to you on saturday night. stories you learn through a trip. the world is your school. life is a travel. battle trip! (after filming battle trip)
(the audience leave with bright faces) i really love it. i liked the hidden meanings of a place near us. after hearing explanations, i preferred seoul so i picked seoul last. i picked seoul due to the budget. taebaek is too far. i loved "descendants of the sun." so i was surprised to find out that it was in taebaek.
i liked taebaek too. in fact, i wanted to go there, too. leeteuk put so much effort explaining it. if the set is reconstructed. it will be nice to go to taebaek on my vacation. for 1 night and 2 days, maybe? (battle trip, episode 2) so this is the coastal road. fold it in half.
just trust me. then turn around 360 degrees. (only aiming for the west side) (riding a boat on half budget) (hidden favorite diner of jeju citizens) two guys doing this is really not ideal. (let's go, dasoni tour!) (hani x solji) (their first backpack trip)
(osaka they saw) (watch and enjoy it) (eat and enjoy it) (taste trip continues) (battle trip, see you next week) (no sense / sam kim, feat. crush)
