LG HelloVision's 'Nangman-eup Gohyang-ri'... Introducing Hidden Domestic Travel Destinations

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] LG HelloVision offers a unique alternative for viewers considering domestic travel destinations.

LG HelloVision announced on the 9th that it will air the original content "Romantic Eup Gohyang-ri," which introduces hidden attractions across South Korea, every Tuesday at 6 PM on Hello TV channel 25.

"Romantic Eup Gohyang-ri" is an analog-sensibility travel documentary introducing unique sights and foods from various regions nationwide. Folk singer Kim Dohyang, known for the hit song "I Lived Like a Fool," serves as the MC, sharing his impressions of the travel destinations.

Since its first broadcast in March, the program has introduced lesser-known travel spots such as Gyodongdo in Incheon and Jeongeup in Jeonbuk, garnering viewers' attention with a peak rating of 2%.

The show also highlights regional attractions renewed through urban regeneration projects. It has featured Jungang Market and the Modern Culture Street in Yeongju, Gyeongbuk, which have been reborn with diverse props and activities catering to young travelers' tastes, as well as the Suncheon Railroad Culture Village in Jeonnam, transformed from lodging for Japanese colonial-era railway workers into a tourist attraction. This episode introduces Yeoncheon-gun in Gyeonggi, boasting outstanding natural scenery such as columnar joints.

Kim Dohyang said, "Romantic Eup Gohyang-ri is differentiated by offering small ideas that can leverage regional strengths and expressing local sentiments through song. I will focus more on highlighting the lives of local residents and symbolic regional attractions as I host the program."

Joo Je-cheol, head of LG HelloVision’s production team, added, "Romantic Eup Gohyang-ri is a program planned to introduce hidden domestic attractions with a relaxed and emotional perspective in an era of rapid change. We hope it will help viewers who are considering domestic travel destinations where they can fully enjoy leisure."
