'6시 내고향' singer Kim Jeong-yeon won the hearts of Hongcheon residents with communication that bridged generations.
On the 10th broadcast of KBS1 '6시 내고향', scenes showed 'national attendant' Kim Jeong-yeon boarding a bus in Hongcheon County, Gangwon Province, to meet neighbors and hear their life stories. In particular, that day's broadcast drew attention as passengers of a wider range of ages than usual appeared and shared stories on a variety of topics.
The first passenger met in Hongcheon was an engaged couple who boarded the bus full of excitement as they prepared to marry. A passenger in the back seat, listening fondly to the bride-to-be's interview, offered the advice, "Be patient and give in," and Kim Jeong-yeon added, "Think 'let the dog bark' and endure it," drawing laughter from viewers.
Next came a fresh-faced high school student on the way to have a portrait taken for their first resident registration card, and a commendable granddaughter who, holding her grandmother's hand tightly while shopping and returning home, even correctly named Hongcheon's attractions—continuing encounters with various young generations.
Even in the potentially awkward situation of 'interviews on the bus' for young generations, Kim Jeong-yeon instantly won over the young passengers with her characteristic bright energy and relaxed wit. With natural hosting, the bus remained in a warm, convivial mood throughout.
Also, Kim Jeong-yeon offered viewers a novel spectacle by personally walking across the frozen Hongcheon River, one of Hongcheon's attractions. In the scene, which exuded a strong winter atmosphere, Kim Jeong-yeon led the setting to feel more vivid with her cheerful energy.
Kim Jeong-yeon, who has consistently received love for warm communication that connects generations and regions, added meaning to the program in this broadcast as well with sincere empathy and friendly charm. Her activities, linking people and stories across the region, can be seen every weekday at 6 p.m. on KBS1 '6시 내고향'.
