Singer Young Tak and actor Park Ki Woong left for a very special Andong forest farm.

On the MBC entertainment program ‘Help Me! Holmes’ (directed by Jung Da Hee, Kim Moon Sub, Kim Jin Kyung, Kim Wan Chul) that aired on the 17th, the second part of the small city forest farm was held in Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do. Following the forest farm in Mokpo-si, Jeollanam-do that was broadcast as a summer special last year, singer Young Tak and actors Park Ki Woong and Yang Se Hyung from Andong joined.

The first place the three visited was ‘Hahoe Village Cotton Craftsman‘s House’ in Hahoe-ri, Chungcheon-myeon, Andong-si. Hahoe Village is a village with a 600-year-old tradition that is still inhabited to this day. The house where the three people lived was the home of a traditional cotton craftsman, and was estimated to have been built 164 years ago.

A stylish tile-roofed house unfolded behind the elegant thatched-roof house, and the interior was eye-catching with its blend of tradition and modernity. From the side yard with a vegetable garden and the courtyard with a large window, you could enjoy the beautiful scenery covered in fog. The three people met the cotton craftsman and created valuable memories by separating seeds from cotton.

The second place the three people visited was ‘Art College Oppa’s Supermoon Hanok’ in Taehwa-dong, Andong-si. It was a hanok stay near a popular tourist destination, built in 1981 and remodeled in 2022. The interior was impeccable, reinterpreting beautiful traditional beauty in a modern way. Above all, the owner, who graduated from the art school, placed sensuous objects throughout the house, providing various things to see.

Next, we introduced ‘Golmokdaejang Hanok’ located in Taehwa-dong, Andong-si. It is a Hanok for sale completed in 1972, and although it is in a state before remodeling, it is neatly managed, and the owner can own the alley in front of the gate, so he can decorate it to his taste. It has four large rooms and an annex that can be used as a storage, so it can be used in various ways, and we recommended operating it as a Hanok stay after remodeling.

Lastly, we visited ‘Yellow Gate House, Crazy~’ located in Sugok-ri, Imdong-myeon, Andong-si. It is a Western-style house for sale that stands out in a village full of Hanoks, located near Imhaho Lake surrounded by greenery. Inspired by Andong‘s city tree ‘Ginkgo Tree’, the entire house was accented with beige and light yellow tones, drawing attention. The large yard had a children’s pool and a camping zone, etc. Above all, the rooftop boasted a fantastic view of the beautiful Imhaho Lake.

In addition, the three enjoyed a culinary experience by eating Andong‘s representative food, ‘Andong Jjimdak’, and also visited Andong’s representative date course, ‘Wolyeonggyo Bridge’, and enjoyed the beautiful nature, drawing attention.
