(The CEN News / Reporter Nam Sa-woong) KBS 2TV’s flagship lifestyle/info show, 2TV Saengsaeng Information, serves up a fresh mix on the 22nd — from the electric atmosphere of a seafood market and celebrities’ favorite eateries to quirky travel finds and the K‑food craze spreading overseas.

First up, the "New VJ Commando" segment drops viewers into Noryangjin Fish Wholesale Market, Seoul’s central seafood hub where as much as 200 tonnes of seafood pass through each day.

The show captures the high-energy auction floor where seasonal catches go for wallet-friendly prices. It also highlights specialty stalls like Son Seonjang (Noryangjin branch) for live fish and Byeonsan Fisheries for shellfish.

On "Today’s Return Visit: Star Restaurants," a comfort-food spot recommended by singer Na Sang‑do takes center stage. Jangsu Eel in Gimpo offers grilled eel in three signature sauces — salt, soy, and gochujang — each priced at 29,000 KRW (approximately $21.75), so you can order exactly how you like it.

"Let’s Go: Stories on the Road" explores Wanju in North Jeolla Province, uncovering local gems. The journey starts at Bongdong Ginger Valley Market and dessert cafe Daldalguri, then moves to Bibi‑jeong Art Train, a cultural space repurposed from a retired railcar, and the Daeunsan cable car for breathtaking views.

The segment also shines a light on colorful local spots, like Kongjwi Patjwi Bunsik and Kongjwi Patjwi Village, each packed with regional stories and charm.

"Exclusive! Life File" tells the story of actor Kim Hong‑pyo, once celebrated as "Korea’s Brad Pitt." Beyond the glitz of his acting career, the piece reveals personal changes and candid updates that promise to deliver a heartfelt, human portrait.

Finally, "Amazing Korean" looks at the K‑hot dog phenomenon hitting Prague. The segment shows how Korean street food has won over local palates and captures the current momentum of K‑food as it expands around the world.

KBS 2TV’s 2TV Saengsaeng Information airs Monday through Friday at 6:35 PM.
