In a popularity survey Paco, the "Eiffel Tower attraction," surprisingly beat Park Bo Gum and struggles from early morning to welcome the "Korean version of Rodin."
Paco, the "Eiffel Tower attraction," who is enjoying his first trip to Korea through MBC every1's "Have you ever been to Korea?," recently ranked first in the March third week TV-OTT integrated non-drama cast popularity category released by Good Data Corporation FUNdex. With his sincere love for Korea moving netizens with every step he takes, the March 26 broadcast will show the special outing of the French friends Paco, Max and Jamil on the second day of their trip to Korea.
That day the group leaves their accommodation early in the morning to find the "Korean version of Rodin's The Thinker." But unlike their enthusiastic start, the trip runs into trouble from the outset. They spent about 30 minutes stamping their feet in the cold on the street as taxis that stopped in front of them just passed by. Viewers are left wondering why the three French friends were refused rides and whether they will safely reach their destination.
After trials and tribulations they arrive at their destination and stand before the museum's grand exterior, unable to hold back their admiration. Later, when Paco meets the guide, he pours out the Korean history knowledge he has accumulated, causing a stir at the site. The guide listening to Paco said, "How did you know that? That's information even Koreans don't know," unable to hide their surprise, and the MCs watching in the studio were reportedly impressed by Paco's genuine love for Korea.
Paco also draws attention by observing every small detail of the artifacts as if everything is wondrous like a child. Behind his curious behavior there was an unexpected story. Viewers' curiosity intensifies over why Paco showed such special sentiment on this particular itinerary.
At the end of the museum tour, the three friends finally stand before the "Korean version of Rodin's The Thinker," which they had longed to see. Coming from the country of Rodin, they confessed, "Until I saw this in person I thought Rodin's The Thinker was the better work," and yet offered a surprising reaction after seeing the actual piece.
What is the identity of the "Korean version of Rodin's The Thinker" that captivated the French friends? And what impressions did the three share after seeing it? You can find out on MBC every1's "Have you ever been to Korea?" which airs today (26th) at 8:30 p.m.
