From special experiences to art, they explored everything.

On the JTBC show ‘Tokpawon 25 Hours’ that aired on the 10th, they had a meaningful time traveling to Brisbane, Australia, Cebu, Philippines, and Ankara, Turkey virtually, and following in the footsteps of Auguste Renoir in France.

First, the Australian Tokpawon went on an activity trip in and around Brisbane to give them a thrill. After experiencing indoor skydiving, where they could feel like they were free falling from about 3.7km above the ground, the Australian Tokpawon visited the world‘s most thrilling restaurant where they dine on a rooftop railing. After eating pasta and panna cotta in the air, we went down the 17m outer wall on a rope and couldn’t take our eyes off them.

On the 75-mile beach of Gari Island, the world‘s largest sand island, we saw the Maheno Shipwreck and the dingo, the top predator of Gari Island. At Eli Creek, the largest stream located on the east coast, tubeless Tokpawon enjoyed the atmosphere by leisurely walking as if on a tube among people enjoying the natural lazy river.

We also learned about the charms of Cebu, Philippines, a favorite vacation spot for Koreans. The Philippine Tokpawon drew exclamations by conveying the exotic scenery of the stepped swimming pool that utilizes natural terrain similar to Pamukkale in Turkey. Through the hopping tour, the highlight of Cebu travel, we enjoyed a Korean buffet and performance while looking at the ocean view, and went snorkeling to see various tropical fish and colorful corals.


At the local certified restaurant, Tokpawon stimulated the salivary glands of the viewers with a mukbang of traditional Filipino mung bean soup and crispy pata, which is deep-fried pig’s feet. In particular, when Jeon Hyun-moo provoked Daniel by pretending to be curious about the crispy pata, which is similar to Germany‘s Schweinshaxe, saying, “Is this even tastier than Germany?” Alberto was confident, saying, “100%.” When Daniel responded by banning him from entering Germany, Jeon Hyun-moo did not back down, saying, “Thank goodness,” and the bickering chemistry between the two brought laughter.

In the capital city of Ankara, Turkey, Tokpawon guided viewers to Anitkabir, the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal, the Kozatepe Mosque which can accommodate 24,000 people, and Ankara Castle, a famous sunset spot. They also drew attention by introducing famous spots where you can take great photos, such as Uchisar Castle where you can enjoy the panoramic view of Uchisar town in Cappadocia, and Rose Valley where the rocks turn rose-colored when the sun sets.

Lastly, in France, they followed in the footsteps of Auguste Renoir, a painter who painted happiness. The French talk show visited the Montmartre Museum, the restaurant that served as the backdrop for ‘Ball at the Moulin de la Galette’, Renoir’s favorite restaurant that served as the backdrop for ‘Luncheon at the Boating Party’, and the Musée d‘Orsay. At the studio, Lee Chang-yong told us about Renoir’s works and related stories, which added to the informativeness.
