The special journey of 'Beopryun Road: Monk and Guest' begins.
The SBS program 'Beopryun Road: Monk and Guest' (hereinafter 'Monk and Guest'), which airs for the first time on the afternoon of the 19th, is a "question-and-answer" road trip documenting the process of guests Noh Hong-chul, Lee Sang-yoon, Lee Ju-bin, Lee Gi-taek, and Woo Chan, who accepted the invitation of the "national mentor" Monk Beopryun, who has touched the hearts of countless people, as they head to India in search of their "true selves."
In that day's broadcast, the guests who accepted Monk Beopryun's invitation are shown rushing off to India. Upon arriving at Kolkata Airport in India at 2 a.m., the guests could not see the face of Monk Beopryun, who had invited them, and immediately fell into great confusion, asking, "Where is the monk?"
As a result, the guests, who went to their accommodation without Monk Beopryun, reportedly could not take their eyes off the unfamiliar sight of the vibrant streets even in the early morning and locals sleeping on the streets, saying, "This is no joke, it's a scene I've seen in movies."

The accommodation they finally reached after many twists and turns brought another surprise to the guests. Worried, "Aren't we going to be homeless?" they were flustered by the sight of the accommodation before their eyes, exclaiming, "This is crazy, are we just sleeping here for one night?" and "The monk didn't need to go to such lengths."
However, even there, instead of the monk's presence, only a letter left by the monk and a mysterious gift awaited the guests. The gift prepared by the monk was none other than a "recording pen" that allows them to freely record thoughts that arise during the trip.
Before going to sleep, the guests each recorded their first memory in India. In particular, Noh Hong-chul, unfamiliar with using the recording pen, made a dizzying mistake by recording words he "shouldn't have recorded." Since he didn't know how to delete it, his sweaty and anxious appearance was fully captured in the record of the first night, promising great laughter. The program airs for the first time at 9 p.m. on the 19th.
