Will the promise made 10 years ago in the summer to meet again by college students and a camera director be fulfilled?
On the 29th, the episode of KBS2's 'Documentary 3 Days - Andong Station,' which ended three years ago, is gaining attention on various social media and online communities. This episode aired in the summer of 2015, and a brief conversation between the camera director and two female college students filmed at Andong Station has recently become a topic of discussion.
In the broadcast at that time, the female students told the camera director, 'Make sure to shoot the documentary. In 10 years.' The camera director asked, 'Will I still be doing this then?' To which the female student replied, 'Let's meet here on August 15, 2025,' and the camera director said, 'Alright, it's a promise' while locking their pinky fingers. As the promised date approaches, attention is being paid to whether their meeting will take place.
As interest in their promise has increased among many, KBS also mentioned it. KBS re-uploaded the scene on the documentary's YouTube account on the 25th with the title, 'The promise at 7:48 a.m. on August 15, 2025, in front of Andong Station, you haven't forgotten, have you?' Responses like 'We are waiting too' and 'Romantic overdose' have been posted.
The camera director who produced the video also posted on his SNS on the 28th, 'The day promised 10 years ago is coming. Are we going? Or not?' He noted, 'The scene from that day was a lingering warmth that stayed in my heart for a long time. That summer, after the train left, nine summers have passed and now the tenth day is approaching. I thank everyone who conveyed their poignant and brilliant feelings by holding onto the promise made between me and the girls, each filled with their own romance.'
As the promise made 10 years ago became a hot topic, public institutions and corporations also joined in. Andong City commented, 'Just like Andong Station, which has continued since 1942, the promise made 10 years ago is being continued this year! The cultural city of Andong will also wait at Andong Station!'
The Jansport bag brand mentioned by the female student said, 'Girl with glasses, do you still have that bag? Jansport also wants to keep the promise made 10 years ago.' The snack brand Oreo, which the female student was holding, also said, 'Girl with glasses, do you still like Oreos? Oreo is also going to Andong Station.' In addition, various cosmetics, travel, and food companies are commenting on the camera director's post to show their support for the promise.
KORAIL Retail's Daegu-Gyeongbuk headquarters expressed concern over the change in Andong Station's location over the past 10 years. KORAIL Retail remarked, 'Oh no... the old Andong Station no longer has trains going there. I want to go too! Will I be able to make it on time?' The old Andong Station, where the promise was made, was transferred in 2020 to Songhyeon-dong and is currently operating as an art museum called 'Modi 684.' There are also possibilities that it may be demolished soon.
