'The Story of That Day, Tailing the Tail' (Kkokko-mu) sheds light on a horrific bus disaster in 1970 that claimed 46 lives.

SBS's 'The Story of That Day, Tailing the Tail' (hereinafter 'Kkokko-mu'), airing on the 1st, features an episode titled "Nightmare Field Trip," focusing on the 1970 Gyeongseo Middle School field trip disaster, recorded as the most devastating bus accident since liberation.

On October 14, 1970, third-year students of Seoul Gyeongseo Middle School boarded a bus heading home after completing their first-ever field trip in their lives. As they gazed at the autumn scenery unfolding outside the window, carrying memories of the trip, and headed toward Seoul…

Peace was shattered in an instant. An oncoming train collided with the bus amid a deafening roar, and the scene turned into chaos in a split second. The impact of the collision caused the bus's engine to explode, engulfing the vehicle in flames within moments. 'Kkokko-mu' meets survivors from Gyeongseo Middle School's third grade who were on board at the time to hear about the horrific circumstances of that day which took 46 lives. It is revealed that another story, which had not come to light at the time, was hidden, sparking curiosity.

Guests appearing on this episode include comedian and actress Jung Yi-rang, Ahn Ji-young of the one-person band Bolbbalgan4, and Geon-hee from the group ONEUS.

Jung Yi-rang, who returned to 'Kkokko-mu' as MC Jang Hyun-seong's story companion, is reported to have been deeply immersed in the cruel fate that 16-year-old boys had to endure as soon as the story began. "After having a child, it no longer sounds like someone else's story," Jung Yi-rang held back tears throughout the listening session and firmly stated, "Everything is shocking, and such an incident must never happen again."

Ahn Ji-young revisited Kkokko-mu as MC Jang Sung-gyu's story companion. Ahn Ji-young greeted everyone with her signature bright smile for a brief moment, but could not hide deep sighs at the vivid testimonies of disaster survivors. She also applauded in admiration upon seeing how the survivors remembered and cared for their friends who had passed away.

Geon-hee took his seat as MC Jang Do-yeon's story companion. He demonstrated exceptional empathy throughout the listening session regarding the tragedy of Gyeongseo Middle School third-year students. Upon hearing a survivor's confession about living a difficult life over the past 56 years, he finally burst into tears. Curiosity is piqued as to what story made Geon-hee sob so intensely. Airing at 10:00 PM on the 1st.
