Scenes from "Welcome to My Village," a community-based content presented by SK Broadband
View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] SK Broadband announced on the 26th that it introduced Pyeongtaek and Asan through the local community-based content "Welcome to My Village."
First released on the 12th, Welcome to My Village is a program that discovers hidden charms of a region through living in the neighborhood for a day. It selects themed areas, explores hotspots in the neighborhood with local guests, and analyzes the infrastructure. Park Miseon from Seoul and Heo Kyunghwan from Tongyeong serve as MCs.
The first neighborhoods featured are "America within Korea" Pyeongtaek and "Forest City" Asan. In the Pyeongtaek episode, it introduced the American village, which is difficult to access except for residents and where filming is rarely permitted. The episode showcases Shinjang Shopping Mall, known for its many vintage shops, and Sosabeol Caf? Street, which looks like it could be from a movie.
In the Asan episode of Chungcheongnam-do, it captured the image of a clean city under the name "Asan Forest," reminiscent of the movie "Little Forest," which embodies the essence of a well-being lifestyle. A young farmer in his 20s who fulfilled his dream of returning to farming also appears. CNN in the U.S. named Asan as one of the "Top 7 Wealthiest Cities in the World in 2025."
The guests invited also have ties to the respective regions. Brian, famous for his "love for Pyeongtaek," and Paeng Hyunsuk, known as "Asan's daughter-in-law" for 33 years, appeared as guests respectively. In the Cheonan episode airing at 6 p.m. on the 26th, Yoo Seungwoo, a former Superstar K contestant, will share stories about growing up in Cheonan.
Welcome to My Village is SK Broadband's fourth self-produced local content following "Healing Sanjang - Please Line Up," an online healing program with stories and music; "Delicious War - Neighborhood Two Tops," which introduces local landmarks and rival long-established restaurants; and "Our Neighborhood Chat Room," which humorously covers various local lifestyle information.
