Paco's 'Welcome to Korea', a hot topic that attracted attention as a 'Epel Tower Masterpiece', right?' The behind-the-scenes story of the casting has been revealed.

MBC Everyone! Welcome! It's your first time in Korea, right?' will expand from the trip invited by the existing host and return with a new plan that allows anyone to become a traveler even if they do not have friends in Korea. The first protagonist to open the door was Paco, a Frenchman who has already made headlines online as the "Epeltop Masterpiece" in Paris, France. Ahead of the broadcast, producer Jeon Min-kyung told a dramatic behind-the-scenes story related to the casting of Paco.

First, PD Jeon Min-kyung recalled the meeting with Paco as "fate." "When I went to Paris for my honeymoon last year, I happened to meet Mr. Paco. He didn't even want to pay for the key ring just because he was Korean," he said, describing the moment when he was fascinated by his warm heart. "As soon as I returned home, I contacted you as the number one casting choice, and Mr. Paco misunderstood the phone call from far away Korea as a voice phishing scam," he said. "There was an laughable happening that had to prove that it was not a fraud by making a video call directly from the broadcasting station to resolve the misunderstanding."

This trip is all the more exciting because it is a journey to pioneer with Paco's own power without Korean friends. In this regard, producer Jeon Min-kyung said, "During the interview, Paco took out a wrinkled Korean notebook from his coat pocket and showed it to me, which was really touching. He said, "I'm practicing because I want to read a lot of Hangul that I'll face during my trip to Korea."

In addition, PD Jeon said of Paco, "It was impressive to see the unfamiliar situations encountered during the trip as a stimulus for learning, not stress. When I saw a Korean word I didn't know during my trip, I asked Koreans and wrote it down in my notebook again, and I thought, "Can I love and want to learn Korea that much?"

He also tipped off an impressive episode during the shoot with Paco. Producer Jeon said, "The moment I spent at Namsan Tower was the most impressive," adding, "I can't forget Mr. Paco's expression when I saw the scenery of Korea for the first time, which I've heard only in words from Korean tourists for over a decade. I can't even fathom what I was thinking at that moment," he said.

"Paco, who worked in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, prepared a small event at Namsan Tower in Korea. I hope you can check out the heartwarming moment of bringing and distributing gifts from far away Paris for Koreans who loved them," he said, raising expectations for the show.

It's the first time in Korea where you can check Paco's all-time landing plane in Korea, right?' will air on the 19th.
