This program was designed to provide an in-depth experience of Andong's unique gourmet and cultural resources by combining traditional liquor tastings on the train with six experiential courses centered around local breweries.

Visitors experienced more than just a simple trip; through brewery tours, local food tastings, and tourism-linked programs, they enjoyed stay-type content focused on gourmet experiences.

In particular, not only the one-day "pop-up train" but also the overnight "Andong The Dining" package sold out every session, confirming both the marketability and long-term growth potential of the K-Gourmet Belt.

Lee Woo-hyun, CEO of KORAIL Tourism Development, stated, "The train journey combining traditional liquor and tourism has opened up new horizons for content," adding, "The achievement of early sell-outs is highly significant in revitalizing the local economy."

An official from Andong City commented, "The K-Gourmet Traditional Liquor Belt Pop-up Train has served as an opportunity to promote Andong's gourmet and cultural content nationwide," and added, "We will continue to expand stay-type products that link our region's unique traditional liquors with tourism, establishing a sustainable gourmet tourism model."
