In the summer of 2015, the promise made by the youth to 'meet again in 10 years' was in jeopardy due to an unexpected incident.
KBS2's documentary 'Three days' completed its final filming at Andong Station, following the young people enjoying a train trip to Tomorrow. During that time, the production team made a promise with two female university students they met during the trip by linking their pinky fingers. 'Let's meet again here on August 15, 2025.' After 10 years had passed, the production team prepared a special edition called 'About Time' to keep the promise. About 200 citizens and broadcasting officials who had been waiting for this day gathered at the old Andong Station plaza, building anticipation.
However, at 7:37 a.m. on the 15th, an unexpected incident occurred. A comment in the YouTube live chat stated, 'I will plant explosives at the old Andong Station plaza', causing the site to be enveloped in tension in an instant. The Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency urgently deployed teams from nearby police stations and the Andong Police Station's initial response team, as well as the police special forces, to control the plaza and conduct thorough searches.
Due to the unforeseen bomb threat, the reunion, which was just moments away, was abruptly halted. Online communities and social media lit up with posts expressing disappointment, such as 'I waited 10 years, and this is so anticlimactic', 'Safety is the top priority, but it's really a pity', and 'I hope it happens once again for sure.'
KBS noted, highlighting the promise made by the two university students met during the 2015 trip to Tomorrow, 'The promise of August 15, 2015, let's meet here on August 15, 2025. The story of that day 10 years ago' while announcing the special episode. The production team, along with the cinematographer, re-released past footage, saying, 'The day we promised 10 years ago is coming. Are we going? Or are we not?' triggering fans' expectations.
However, before the anticipated reunion, it was reported during the live broadcast that 'a woman has arrived on site', but the live session was halted due to the suspicion of an explosive device. The reunion site was obstructed by police control, increasing viewers' curiosity.
Whether their 10-year promise has actually been fulfilled will be confirmed on the 22nd at 10 p.m. on KBS2's 'Documentary Three Days Special Edition About Time - A Journey Back 10 Years in 72 Hours.' The audience's interest is focused on whether the production team succeeded in bringing the university students together for an emotional reunion or if it was blocked by the unexpected incident.
