Monk Beopryun, who has soothed countless hearts through "Jikmun Jikseol," is making his first-ever appearance on a road variety show.

According to SBS on the 22nd, "Beopryun Road: Monk and Guests," a "Jikmun Jikseol" road travelogue journey in search of the "true self," will be newly presented this May. "Beopryun Road: Monk and Guests" is set to reveal, for the first time on a variety show, part of the monk's 34-year journey of pilgrimage to holy sites in India.

Monk Beopryun, who has always been imprinted on the public as a calm and unshakable teacher, is expected to show a different side of the "mentor" we know through "Beopryun Road: Monk and Guests." He will meet viewers with a more human and honest demeanor, such as traveling in rickshaws with guests, sharing street food, and bursting into laughter at unexpected moments.

Despite being a veteran practitioner who has led India's holy site pilgrimages for 34 years, Monk Beopryun's honest confession that "variety shows are harder than spiritual practice" raises further curiosity about the program.

The five guests who traveled to India at Monk Beopryun's invitation also drew attention. Along with Noh Hong-chul, who mastered the scene with his unique energy and had the most sincere conversations with the monk, actor Lee Sang-yoon, who completely shed his conventional neat image and adapted to the raw India, and actress Lee Ju-bin, who canceled a scheduled New York trip to join the program and displayed her carefree and unreserved charm, are among the cast.

Also joining are actor Lee Gi-taek, known for his quirky and honest demeanor, and Woo-chan, a member of the group All Day Project, who broadened the scope and depth of the journey with his unique seriousness and approachability. The five individuals, differing in personality and age, walk together, collide, laugh, and experience India in their own ways.

The India presented in "Beopryun Road: Monk and Guests" is an India never before seen on variety shows. Not glamorous tourist spots, but the tributaries of the Ganges where life and death coexist, market alleys, and even a remote school personally established by Monk Beopryun 34 years ago—the raw energy of India as it truly is, which conventional travel variety shows could not capture, along with the cast's transformation within it, will offer unique fun and lingering impressions.
