On the evening of the 18th, as early summer settles in, KBS2’s 2TV Saengsaeng Information serves up a lively mix of regional eats, people and travel stories from across Korea. The episode ranges from Seonmudo training at a mountain temple in Gyeongju to a quirky samgyetang spot in Suwon, scenic scenes in Hapcheon County, the benefits and uses of bamboo shoots, and even the day-to-day of a young plumber. With restorative dishes, travel tips and personality-driven profiles, the show aims to brighten Monday nights at home.

In the SNS Trending Video segment, the program spotlights a Seonmudo practice clip that’s racked up 2.36 million views. The piece highlights Golgulsa Temple in Gyeongju, known for its distinctive practice culture. Seonmudo blends Zen meditation with martial training, and scenes filmed on rocky cliffs and in the heart of nature have drawn attention from international visitors. The broadcast will focus on Seonmudo as a discipline that combines spiritual training with physical practice, not just a form of martial arts.

Next, the God of Business segment showcases four inventive takes on samgyetang. The show visits Hwangga Ne Nurungji Samgyetang in Suwon, which serves everything from a classic nurungji (scorched-rice) samgyetang to pumpkin nurungji samgyetang, spicy samgyetang, and versions made with neungi mushrooms and black garlic. The scorched rice adds a toasty, nutty layer to the traditional soup, and the menu ranges from spicy broths to restorative, medicinal-style options so diners can pick what suits their taste. Viewers will be treated to rich broths and generous presentations that are sure to whet appetites.

In A Shot from Mr. Lee: Korea, the 473rd assignment takes viewers to Hapcheon County in South Gyeongsang Province. The show tours Hapcheon’s signature vistas and hidden gems, starting with Cheonbul Cheontap, a striking mountainside site filled with countless stone pagodas. The crew then visits The Special Garden, a horticulture, healing and education farm that offers tranquil natural scenery.

The segment also features Hapcheon Film Theme Park, a popular filming location for movies and TV dramas that recreates modern and contemporary streetscapes and continues to draw visitors. Other stops include Jeongyang Swamp Ecological Park for natural wetlands, the quietly charming Seosan Village, and Haddeul Ecological Park, each showcasing a different side of Hapcheon’s appeal.

In the Food X-File segment, the program explores bamboo shoots, long celebrated as a symbol of vitality. The show examines their culinary qualities, textures and health benefits, and Gabsan Korean Medicine Clinic in Gangnam will offer a traditional medicine perspective. Expect practical tips and recipes highlighting bamboo shoots’ crisp bite and their role as a springtime staple.

Finally, in Youth at Work, the program profiles a 31-year-old plumber in Busan who’s been on the job for 11 years. The episode visits Ttureo Ajusshi in Suyeong District and follows a day in the life of this young tradesman who quietly carries on despite tough working conditions. Viewers will see him tackle a range of plumbing challenges and get an honest look at the responsibility and realities of skilled labor.

That night’s broadcast ties together restorative food, travel destinations, traditional practice and the earnest stories of young people quietly doing their jobs. Through food, travel and human-interest moments, 2TV Saengsaeng Information promises its trademark warm tone along with useful, everyday information.
