Actress Jeon So-min has joined "The Great Guide 2.5."
The MBC Every1 variety show The Great Guide 2.5—Daedanan Guide, which premieres on the 28th, is one of the popular travel reality series The Great Guide and offers a cheerful travelogue that viewers can easily follow before embarking on the long journey in The Great Guide 3. Park Myung-soo, Kim Dae-ho, Choi Daniel, Lee Mu-jin, Jeon So-min and Hyojung confirmed that all season 2 members will join, and the addition of new travel mate Park Ji-min has drawn strong interest even before the broadcast.
The first destination of The Great Guide 2.5—Daedanan Guide was the sacred mountain Baekdu, visited by Kim Dae-ho, Choi Daniel, Jeon So-min and Hyojung. In particular, Jeon So-min and Hyojung, who served as studio panelists in season 2, left the studio this time to feel the on-site atmosphere and participate directly in the trip, adding meaning. Jeon So-min and Hyojung explained why they decided to appear as travel mates and shared their impressions of the trip.
First, Jeon So-min said, "I heard Choi Daniel recommended me," revealing behind-the-scenes of joining, and said she decided to appear because, "When I was younger I didn't have the luxury to take on challenges, and as I got older my curiosity and desire to travel decreased. I thought, 'If not now, new trips will always be put off,' so I mustered the courage to go."
She added, "If it hadn't been The Great Guide, I don't think I would have considered going. I'm used to familiar trips, so I left with half anticipation and half worry." Jeon So-min's experiences and discovery of new emotions on the Baekdu trip increased curiosity and expectations about what new things she encountered.
Hyojung said, "Unlike my usual trips, I felt The Great Guide was a fresh and full experience. Watching on studio VCR the majority (Kim Dae-ho, Choi Daniel, Park Myung-soo) traveling, I thought, 'I really want to be in there too.' This time I wanted to clash directly with the experience and feel the full emotions, so I decided to appear," firmly expressing why she joined the trip.
In particular, Hyojung enjoyed this trip even more by traveling with Kim Dae-ho, Choi Daniel and her older sisters and brothers Jeon So-min and others. Hyojung said, "Within Oh My Girl I am always the eldest and the leader, but on this trip I participated as the youngest, so I was truly happy and delighted." Curiosity was stirred about how Hyojung will appear as the youngest and how the "Daedanan youngest" Hyojung will perform among the formidable older sisters and brothers.
The journey of Jeon So-min and Hyojung, who left the studio and visited Baekdu as travel mates, will air for the first time on Tuesday the 28th at 7:30 p.m.
