(The CEN News / Reporter Seung-min Lee) KBS 2TV's flagship show '2TV Saengsaeng Information' is back with a lively lineup that spotlights everyday life—think health, food, and stories of bold personal reinvention.

Episode 2524, airing on the 28th, strings together distinct segments—from "Now's the Peak Season!" to "Tough Life — Tough Resolve!"—each with its own vibe and plenty to enjoy.

In the "Now's the Peak Season!" segment, the program dives into freshwater eel, a nutrient-dense restorative dish. Shot at The Big Eel's flagship in Buk-gu, Gwangju, the piece follows fresh eel from tank to table and watches chefs turn it into sumptuous dishes that are meant to recharge your energy.

The next segment, "Grandma — Is Dinner Ready?,\" visits Cheong-eoram Restaurant in Taean, South Chungcheong, to spotlight the show's beloved Info Grandma and her warm rockfish jeotguk (a hearty fish stew). Centered on the sea-scented stew, the lovingly prepared spread, the grandmother's time-honored recipes, and the cozy charm of Mohang Port all combine to remind viewers just how comforting a home-cooked meal can be.

In "Tough Life — Tough Resolve!,\" we meet someone who walked away from a stable civil service career to build a life around bathing large dogs. Through Coco Bath, the segment showcases the owner's creative business know-how, the hard work behind large-dog care, and the candid, inspiring process of reshaping a life through daring choices.

Catch KBS 2TV's '2TV Saengsaeng Information' on weekdays at 6:35 PM for a nightly boost of energy and feel-good stories.
