A virtual trip has been planned to help you plan your summer vacation.

JTBC ‘Talk Pawon 25 Hours’ broadcast on the 23rd provided a variety of entertainment including a virtual trip to Morocco, the jewel of North Africa, the Costa Blanca, a summer resort in Spain, a month-long stay in Budapest, Hungary, and the ‘Korean Exploration Life around the World’ France episode.

On this day, we began a full-fledged online trip, starting with Morocco, a country that embraces the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert, together with comedian Heo Kyung-hwan, who appeared as a guest that day.AlphaGo, a talker on a business trip to Morocco, first headed to the Shuara Tannery, the largest and oldest tannery in Fes.He endured the foul smell caused by removing impurities from the leather and carried out his talker duties.

Also, the Sahara Desert tour, which is considered one of the romantic travel destinations for African youth, was exciting.The camp village that we arrived at by riding a camel from Merzouga was well-equipped with bathrooms, beds, electricity, and Wi-Fi, which was eye-catching.Above all, the sunset seen from the Sahara Desert and the night sky filled with stars were breathtaking.When AlphaGo chose the Sahara Desert as a place he wanted to visit again due to its beautiful scenery, Kim Sook, who had traveled to the desert in Jordan, agreed, saying, “I thought, ‘I should make money and come back.’”

Meanwhile, as Lee Chan-won revealed his plans to travel to Spain this summer, his online trip to Costa Blanca in Spain has begun, drawing attention.The Spanish Tokpawon ended his trip in Alicante, where he can enjoy both the charms of the city and the resort area, by visiting the landmark Santa Barbara Castle, staying in a building that looks like a theme park, and enjoying the scenery with paragliding.


Information on living in Budapest, Hungary, a city beloved for its low cost of living and abundance of attractions, has increased the desire to travel.In particular, the accommodations introduced by the Hungarian talk show host attracted attention with their interiors resembling Korean homes and the view of the National Assembly Building, a landmark of Budapest, right in front of them.The contestants then began a competition to guess the cost of a month’s stay, and Tyler and Daniel, who came closest to the cost of about 6.3 million won, were named as the ones who got the correct answer.

In addition, Tokpawon visited the Central Market to check the latest prices in Hungary.Paprika costs about 4,900 won for 1kg, green onions cost about 1,300 won, and a whole watermelon costs about 11,000 won, allowing us to experience the lower prices compared to Korea.In addition, we visited tourist attractions such as the Szechenyi Baths, one of the three major hot springs in Budapest, the Fisherman’s Bastion, a famous night view restaurant, and a hamburger franchise that turns into a fancy club from 10 p.m.to 4 a.m.on Fridays and Saturdays, making us want to go on a trip right away.

In the corner of ‘Korean Exploration Life in the World’, we had a meaningful time highlighting Korean chefs Seo Yong-sang and Park Jeong-cheol who are active in France, the ‘country of gastronomy’.Chef Seo Yong-sang captured attention by becoming the first Korean to win three competitions, winning 8th place in the 2013 Traditional Baguette Competition, 1st place in the 2023 Flan Competition, and 3rd place in the 2025 Croissant Competition, thereby achieving the title of Grand Slam.French TalkPawon vividly conveyed the taste of croissants and flans through an interview with Chef Seo Yong-sang.

Next, we met Chef Park Jung-chul, the first Korean graduate of Paul Bocuse Culinary School.He runs a fusion restaurant that combines French and Korean cuisine, and he presented dishes that added a stronger Korean flavor to Tokpawon’s custom-made menu, such as beef tataki with garlic chives and lotus root, snails and bone marrow with gochujang, steak with ssamjang, Korean-style fish dishes aged with ssamjang and soy sauce, and rice cake desserts, which made our mouths water.In addition, we were able to hear about Chef Park Jung-chul’s reasons for starting cooking and his ultimate goals.
