Highlights from KBS 2TV's 'Vivid Information' Episode 2480
On February 18, 2026, KBS 2TV's 'Vivid Information' featured episode 2480, showcasing various topics including 'Vivid Scene - Clams, Korean Dining - Restaurants Serving Holiday Foods, Star's Hometown - Actor Jung Soo-hwan's Chungcheongbuk-do Boeun, Citizen Heroes During Holidays, and Nanaland - Theater Couple.'
□ [Vivid Scene]
'Vivid Scene' focused on the winter delicacy, clams, from the East Coast of Gangwon Province. The crew visited the Goseong Fisheries Cooperative, a hub for local seafood distribution located in Gojin-eup, Goseong-gun, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province.
In the chilly winter, the East Sea offers a deeper flavor. Clams grown in cold waters are known for their firm meat and concentrated sweetness, with a distinct ocean aroma filling the mouth.
Freshly caught clams are sorted and cleaned before being delivered to consumers, ensuring freshness. Clams can be enjoyed in various ways, including grilling, steaming, and in soups. Particularly, the sight of clams opening up over charcoal fire symbolizes winter gourmet experiences.
The bustling production scene and the pride of fishermen went beyond merely introducing ingredients, showcasing the local economy and daily life. This segment conveyed the power of seasonal seafood and the vibrancy of the industry.
□ [Korean Dining]
A special restaurant that brings the holiday atmosphere to everyday life was introduced. Located in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, Cham Maru Hansik Barley Rice Buffet offers a variety of Korean dishes prepared fresh daily.
This restaurant features holiday foods such as jeon (Korean pancakes), namul (seasoned vegetables), japchae (stir-fried noodles), and soups, available year-round.
They adhere to a principle of using fresh ingredients daily and do not recycle leftover food, earning the trust of local residents by ensuring safe and healthy meals.
Although buffet-style, each dish is crafted with care, reminiscent of a home-cooked meal. The combination of barley rice and various side dishes evokes memories of family dining.
The menu includes ramen, noodles, and desserts, catering to all generations. This space provides comfort, serving holiday-like meals even outside the festive season.
□ [Star's Hometown]
We visited Boeun, Chungcheongbuk-do, the hometown of actor Jung Soo-hwan. Nestled at the foot of Sokrisan Mountain, Boeun has historically been a transportation hub with a thriving market culture. The traditional market in Boeun continues the legacy of commerce from the late Joseon Dynasty.
In the market alleys, you can find various products made from local specialties, including jujubes. After a period of decline, Boeun jujubes, restored since 2007, have become a representative agricultural product of the region.
At the Kicheon Restaurant in the food alley near the terminal, sundae (Korean sausage) and gopchang (beef tripe) stew were popular menu items. The cafe 'Mumun' offers drinks and desserts made with jujubes.
Experience spaces include tofu-making at the Sokrisan Clean Agricultural Products Direct Sales Center and the Sokrisan Theme Park monorail. The charm of Boeun, combining mountains, markets, food, and experiences, was vividly portrayed.
□ [Golden Time Heroes]
We shared the story of a citizen hero who shone during the holidays. Kim Min-seong's quick response in a critical situation in the Namdaemun area was highlighted.
Maintaining calm in unexpected accidents is challenging, but he jumped in without hesitation to help, collaborating with nearby merchants to stabilize the situation. His swift judgment and actions prevented a more significant incident in the crowded holiday streets.
This segment illustrated that heroes are not extraordinary individuals but ordinary citizens among us. It conveyed a message that community safety begins with mutual concern and responsibility.
□ [Nanaland]
'Nanaland' spotlighted the lives of theater couple Jeon Byeong-o and Jeong Soo-yeon, who settled in Haenam, Jeollanam-do, after leaving the city. They chose to return to rural life in 2006 after working in university and educational settings.
Currently, they operate the Yaho Haenam Agricultural Cooperative, Yaho Cultural Sharing Center, and Yaho Geumswae Dong Village School, practicing cultural and artistic education in rural areas. They plan programs that allow village children, seniors, locals, and migrants to come together, spreading the value of mutual care.
Theater is not just a job for them but a way of life. While the stage may have changed, their work connecting people continues. Their second life stage in the rural setting is bringing warm changes to the community.
