Monk Beopryun, Noh Hong-chul, Lee Sang-yoon, Lee Ju-bin, and Lee Gi-taek, and Woo Chan embark on a special journey to India.

On the 19th, SBS's "Beopryun Road: Monk and Guests" (hereinafter "Monk and Guests") will reveal the dramatic first meeting between Monk Beopryun and his guests, as well as the official start of the Beopryun Road journey. "Monk and Guests" is a road trip documentary featuring the "national mentor" Monk Beopryun, who has touched countless hearts, and various guests on their quest to find their "true selves."

In the premiere episode, Monk Beopryun and the guests meet for the first time. The guests, who have been waiting to meet the monk, unleash a barrage of questions filled with excitement and joy, such as "Why Kolkata, India?" and "Can I really ask you anything?" In particular, Noh Hong-chul, with his unique charm, boldly asks the monk, "Can I call you 'hyung'?" This shocking 'hyung flirting' is met by Monk Beopryun with his characteristic witty repartee, and it is reported that the scene turned into a sea of laughter at the unexpected response.

As the warm and friendly atmosphere continues, when the guests ask, "Is this journey a trip or a practice?" Monk Beopryun leaves a clear remark: "If you look outside, it's a trip; if you look at me, it's practice."

As their first step, the guests are given the task of "letting go." Monk Beopryun hands over the "barang," a monk's backpack, allowing only the minimum luggage for just three days. In this process, the stark personality differences among the cast members are revealed.

Noh Hong-chul, who is serious about fashion, struggles desperately between "style" and "letting go," while actress Lee Ju-bin boldly discards even her cosmetics, transforming into a perfect practitioner. Curiosity grows as to what the final luggage is that guests, who packed their suitcases to the brim with everything from shower filters to emergency rations, could not give up until the end.

Monk Beopryun's first road trip begins by following the footsteps of the young Siddhartha, who left the palace to face the suffering of birth, aging, sickness, and death, and then decided to walk the path of a practitioner. The guests, setting out on the streets of Kolkata with the heart of the young Siddhartha, are left speechless for a while upon stepping outside their accommodation to a completely changed landscape, seeking enlightenment in their own ways amidst the reality of India and its various faces encountered throughout the streets.

Meanwhile, while realizing the meaning of life in their own ways amidst the unfamiliar scenery, Noh Hong-chul and Lee Sang-yoon, despite the monk's objections, took on the challenge of trying a local Indian drink. The unique manufacturing process that even shocked the production team and the two men's surprising reactions after tasting it can be confirmed in the broadcast. The premiere airs at 9 p.m. on the 19th.
