Expect another memorable time for Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Jun Ho, Yoon Shi Yoon, Kim Jong Min, Defconn and Jung Joon Young with their visit in an uncharted territory where the public cannot come due to its demarcation border status of the North and South Korea. It raises the question of what kind of sympathetic and patriotic meaning that the journey will unfold.
1 Night 2 Days has been showing special trips of historical value. The 11-year-old variety program aired “The Baekdusan Special Feature” in June 2008 (Season 1), which symbolically encouraged the unification of the divided countries. In August 2012 (Season 2), “Dokdo Special” presented National Liberation day event, and provided an opportunity to show the importance of Dokdo to the Korean people and overseas Koreans, as well as a special time to point out the value of Dokdo that had been forgotten.
In addition, the “Harbin Special Feature” broadcasted in March 2016, which was planned for the 106th anniversary of freedom fighter Ahn Jung Geun for the third season, was the first overseas trip of the show. It followed the traces of the revered historical figure, who fought for the liberation of the country during Japanese occupation.
The Kazakhstan-Cuba Special Feature, which was planned in commemoration of the 10th anniversary, is a story about how Korean descendants living in Kazakhstan and Cuba had lived in a barren land, and tried to protect their lives and culture with their pride as Korean descendants. It greatly impressed the viewers of 1 Night 2 Days.
On Sunday, the members are set to visit the villages of the Military Democratic Party in North Korea, including Panmunjeom, and the village of Taeseong-dong, which have never been revealed for public broadcast.
