Channel S‘s ‘I might go again’ had a special feature of ‘A high-quality filial piety trip that costs 1 million won’, and travel buddy Nam Bo-ra showed off her witty banter befitting a ‘representative filial daughter in the entertainment industry’.
Episode 133 of Channel S’s original entertainment program ‘I might go again’, which aired on the 7th, featured a ‘A high-quality filial piety trip that costs 1 million won’, and Kim Shin-young talked to travel creator Traveler May about ‘Parents‘ profile picture restaurants, the great nature of Toyama, Japan’, and Lee Seok-hoon talked to Erai Youth about ‘The things dad loved back then... Hong Kong’, Choi Tae-sung and Na Kang had a package tour battle with the theme of ‘Tainan, Taiwan, a hot spring city that calls for youth’, and actress Nam Bo-ra joined as a travel buddy to decide the winner.
The first filial piety travel destination was Hong Kong, which Erai Cheongchun visited. In Hong Kong, they visited the Mid-Levels Escalator and Tai Kwun, which are reminiscent of scenes from the movies ‘A Better Tomorrow’ and ‘Chungking Express’, to stimulate their parents’ nostalgia for their youth. Meanwhile, Hong Kong targeted parents‘ tastes with the Lugard Road walking course where they can enjoy the view of the skyscrapers even from a low slope. In addition, this place stimulates the salivary glands with the Michelin Hong Kong-style pot rice full course that will captivate ‘K-Parents’, and introduced a 5-star hotel where they can enjoy a Hong Kong-style vacation for 230,000 won, capturing both cost-effectiveness and value. In addition, a hidden laser show night view restaurant, one of the world’s top three night views, decorated the splendid ending, completing a romantic trip for a total of 510,000 won.
The second travel destination was Toyama, Japan, introduced by Traveler May. The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, a Japanese Alps tour, is a tourist course where you can comfortably see the entire Northern Japan Alps in one day by bus and cable car, captivating everyone with its amazing nature. Toyama also whetted their appetites by finding a specialty product full of the flavor of nature, pressed trout sushi. In addition, the Unazuki Onsen Village tourist train appeared as the last course, revealing a special spot where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Kurobe Gorge, the deepest V-shaped gorge in Japan, and a hot spring in the middle of nature, drawing admiration. Even Nam Bo-ra, the ‘representative filial daughter of the entertainment industry”, gave a thumbs up, saying, “If you took your parents to a place like that, they would be grateful that you brought them there.” Toyama created a healing travel course in the great outdoors with a total budget of 310,000 won.
The last was Tainan, Taiwan. Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan and showed the charm of going back and forth between the past and the present. As it is a place with a developed tea culture, it conveyed small pleasures through a customized tea ceremony and water calligraphy experience for parents. In addition, Guanziling Hot Springs, where you can enjoy hot springs with themes such as mud and jasmine for just 10,000 won, was introduced, which greatly stimulated the travel desires of not only parents but also the MCs. In addition, Tainan completed a list of restaurants that will satisfy the taste buds of parents by offering local restaurants on the streets of Shennongjie, where history lives on, and authentic Tainan cuisine such as Danzaimen and oyster pancake at a Michelin restaurant. Furthermore, she visited the Chigu Salt Mountain worth a whopping 6 billion won and even presented a unique certification photo spot for her parents.
Meanwhile, this special travel friend Nam Bo-ra says, “I’m always given the modifiers “K-eldest daughter” and “filial daughter.” Both of them are modifiers that I like the most so much that I never want to lose them,” revealing the well-founded confidence of the eldest daughter of 13 siblings. Nam Bo-ra said, “Since I’m the eldest daughter, my younger siblings have been sending me on a filial piety trip recently. They said, “I’ll take you on a filial piety trip, don’t pay for it,” and I went on a 2-night, 3-day package trip to Osaka, Japan for just 6,000 won for a SIM card fee,” showing off their special friendship.
Meanwhile, Choi Tae-sung said, “Nam Bo-ra’s older brother’s high school homeroom teacher. I‘ve met Bora a few times,“ he said, surprising everyone by revealing an unexpected connection. In contrast, Nam Bora answered, ”I remember it was our first meeting today. But now that I hear it, it feels like we’ve met,“ causing everyone to burst into laughter.
The best filial piety travel destination chosen by Nam Bora that day was none other than Toyama, Japan. Nam Bora said, ”If I take her there, I think she‘ll say thank you for bringing her there, and the natural scenery is truly overwhelming,“ explaining why she chose her as the ”representative filial daughter.“
Meanwhile, Nam Bora recently announced her marriage by revealing a video of herself receiving a proposal on YouTube. She also released a wedding pictorial.
