Lucky, an Indian broadcaster from the show 'Class That Crosses the Line,' studies Korean history with foreign friends.
The MBC show 'Class That Crosses the Line,' airing on March 5, will feature a segment titled 'Born to Travel Joseon' with 'foreigners in Korea' who love Korea. Seol Min-seok, Jeon Hyun-moo, and Yoo Byeong-jae will be invited to an 'Outdoor Party' (a gathering of lonely foreigners) to give tailored lectures.
The protagonist who requested the lecture was none other than Lucky, the Indian broadcaster. Lucky, who has been close friends with Jeon Hyun-moo for 10 years, directly applied for the course with Jeon Hyun-moo. Lucky introduces friends from Rwanda, Turkey, Italy, and Egypt, stating, "I have a great interest in Korean history. You can't live in Korea without knowing history," igniting a desire to study Korean history to pass the notoriously difficult naturalization test.
Seol Min-seok begins the lecture by informing about the existence of foreigners who abruptly landed in Joseon around 400 years ago, known as the 'original foreigners in Korea.' The first Westerners to naturalize in Joseon, such as Park Yeon and the fascinating story of Hamel, who drifted to Jeju and escaped after 13 years, will be spectacularly revealed. Lucky and his friends are surprised to hear about the senior foreigners' 'lives in Joseon,' which included wars, epidemics, and famines, raising curiosity about how they remained in Joseon and what trials they experienced.
Meanwhile, the points at which Joseon people were shocked by the different appearances of Westerners stimulate everyone's infinite imagination. Jeon Hyun-moo reportedly reacts awkwardly to the tale that 'Westerners had their eyes on their chests' in records. This raises questions about why and what rumors Joseon people circulated about Westerners. 'Born to Travel Joseon' will air on MBC's 'Class That Crosses the Line' on Wednesday, March 5, at 9 p.m.
