On Thursday the 16th, MBC's Save Me! Homes (directed by Jung Da-hi, Nam Yoo-jung, Heo Ja-yoon, Kim Seong-nyeon; hereafter "Homes") will air the third installment of neighborhoods specialized by occupation: the workplaces of broadcasters in Sangam-dong.
This episode, "Neighborhoods specialized by occupation: part 3," goes on location to Sangam-dong, which has emerged as a broadcasting MECARO since 2007. Through a site visit to Sangam-dong in Mapo District, where about 600 broadcasting-related corporations are gathered, broadcasting personnel take a look at where and how they live and what kinds of homes they live in. The Sangam-dong site visit features Hong Seok-cheon, a broadcaster of 31 years; Park Na-rae, who has commuted to Sangam-dong for 12 years; and Im Woo-il, a Sangam-dong rookie.
All three are from Yeouido, and among them Hong Seok-cheon revealed he won a bronze prize at a university gag festival in the past, debuted as a KBS 12th class open-recruit comedian, and is a classmate of Kim Sook. He recalled that he was nervous whenever he stood in front of Kim Sook, prompting curiosity about why. He then drew attention by saying he left his comedian career after an intense two-month training period.
Kim Sook introduced, "Broadcasters were originally concentrated in Yeouido, but the full-scale era of Sangam-dong broadcasting stations opened in 2007." In response, Joo Woo-jae said Sangam-dong scared him, drawing attention. He confessed, "I had many program meetings in the Sangam-dong office, and the solemn atmosphere there tightened me so I couldn't properly show what I have. Only now am I making good memories."
The three stroll through Sangam-dong and introduce the daytime scene at the broadcasting stations. A staffer from another station they met by chance on the street greeted Park Na-rae warmly and said, "Please come out to our side too. It's the news department." When Park Na-rae, flustered, replied, "Me? The news department?" Hong Seok-cheon is said to have lightened the mood by saying, "Let's go as a charitable entertainer~."
They head to Sangam-dong's old town, the original residents' village. Before broadcasters moved in, it was where residents lived and where the "Comedy Big League" comedians had their practice rooms. Finding a village playground, Park Na-rae fell into a moment of nostalgia. She revealed, "During the Comedy Big League days, I once had an argument with Yang Se-hyung at this playground. Jang Doyoun, who was watching, cried and wailed, "If you do this I'll immigrate~."" Yang Se-hyung also confessed, "I only once saw Doyoun raise her voice... it was then." The story raises curiosity about what happened among the three.
Neighborhoods specialized by occupation: part 3! The Sangam-dong episode will be revealed on Thursday the 16th at 10 p.m. on MBC's Save Me! Homes.
