With cartoonist Heo Young-man announcing a halt to his activities due to health issues, his show 'Baekban-gihaeng', which he has led for seven years, is also coming to an end.

On the 17th, TV Chosun stated, "The long-running educational and variety program 'Shikgaek Heo Young-man's Baekban-gihaeng' (hereinafter 'Baekban-gihaeng'), which has been airing for seven years, will conclude its first season. Although 'Baekban-gihaeng' has traveled across the nation for the past seven years, conveying the value of simple yet great neighborhood dining tables, the journey of 'Baekban-gihaeng' will now come to a temporary halt due to the health concerns of Heo Young-man, who is approaching his 80th birthday."

According to TV Chosun, the production team prioritized Heo Young-man's health after he had been running tirelessly for a long time, and thus decided to put aside their regrets and put a beautiful period at the end of 'Baekban-gihaeng' Season 1.

To soothe the regrets of viewers facing this sudden farewell, a 'Special Episode' will be aired, compiling the emotions and culinary journey of the past seven years from 2019 to 2026. In the special broadcast, viewers can once again see vivid highlight moments of the 365th special guests who shared meaningful times with 'Baekban-gihaeng' and the brilliant performances of Shikgaek Heo Young-man. Additionally, the program will deeply reflect on the precious value of 2,131 dining tables across the eight provinces of Korea that Shikgaek encountered through his own efforts.

Since Season 1 is being concluded after much deliberation for Heo Young-man's health, this special episode is expected to be a meaningful time to gather and look back on the precious memories shared with Shikgaek in one place.

Looking forward to the next season with a new look, the final special broadcast of 'Baekban-gihaeng' Season 1, titled 'The Baekban We Loved, 7 Years of Delicious Records', featuring the warm smile of the eternal Shikgaek Heo Young-man, will be broadcast at 7:50 p.m. on the 21st.
