With cartoonist Heo Young-man (79) halting his activities due to a fall accident, 'Shikgaek Heo Young-man's Baekban Journey' Season 1 will conclude with a special broadcast.

The TV Chosun program 'Shikgaek Heo Young-man's Baekban Journey' (hereinafter 'Baekban Journey'), airing tonight on the 21st, will wrap up Season 1 with the special broadcast titled 'The Baekban We Loved, 7 Years of Delicious Records'.

Baekban Journey MC Heo Young-man began his journey of 'Great Taste' in May 2019, visiting 1,329 restaurants across the country and 2,131 dining tables, traveling far and wide. Now, after so much time has passed, how have these restaurants changed?

We revisit the first episode, which opened in the spring of 2019 at a restaurant in Gangjin, South Jeolla Province, featuring a lavish 17-course Namdo-style meal priced at 8,000 won. In addition, 'Perilla Oil Cold Noodles,' which became a nationwide sensation after the broadcast, continues to enjoy enduring popularity even years later, and we also capture the revitalized commercial district of 'Munnae-dong Steel Alley,' which has become a hot spot for the MZ generation.

In the special broadcast, beyond simply introducing famous restaurants, we will conduct follow-up reporting on the meaningful steps taken by 'Baekban Journey' to elevate the value of Korean cuisine and ignite a spark of hope for small business owners, and will also reveal surprise letters from the numerous restaurant owners who have appeared on the show.

Additionally, we will revisit the vivid memorable moments of the 365th special guests who shared meaningful times with 'Baekban Journey,' and once again encounter the brilliant activities of 'Shikgaek Heo Young-man,' who breathes with the world and embraces his neighbors.
