(The CEN News / Reporter Seung-min Lee) KBS 2TV's flagship info show, 2TV Saengsaeng Information, returns on May 12 with a compact, feel-good lineup that highlights everyday life and handy tips for viewers.
On May 11, the "Hot Place Now" segment dropped into Damyang's Noodle Street in South Jeolla Province, a lush, green corner that's impossible to ignore. The show showcased local specialties—from delicate bamboo noodles and bamboo-shoot chicken noodle soup to savory tteok-galbi (pan-fried short rib patties) and rice steamed in bamboo—earning big applause from viewers.
The charming eateries set against Damyang's scenic backdrop became an instant topic among day-trippers after the episode aired, reaffirming Noodle Street as a must-stop destination.

In the "Decisive Move" segment, the program zeroes in on the addictive after-work combo of jokbal (braised pig's trotters) and soondae guk (blood sausage soup). The crew visited the flagship Kwakchan Soondae-guk Jokbal stall at Gwonseon Market in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, to uncover what gives the jokbal its springy texture and the soondae guk its deep, savory broth. It's already a local favorite, and the show warns that crowds are likely after the episode airs—so plan a little extra time for your visit.
In "All You Need Is a Transit Card," the program follows a countryside bus along the scenic Seomjin River on a Sunchang getaway.
The piece maps out a romantic route you can enjoy entirely by public transport: Yonggwolsan, famous for its thrilling ridge trail; Janggunmok Recreation Area, known for its dramatic rock formations; and Kangcheonsan County Park, Sunchang's signature attraction. The segment also highlights local eateries like Darae and Tturanchae and showcases Seomjin River water-sports options—giving viewers a full taste of Sunchang's scenery, flavors, and activities.
Finally, the "Top 3 Trending Now" segment sends viewers on a mini culinary tour of three global-flavored spots that feel almost like traveling abroad.
The feature kicks off at Benvenuto, an Italian restaurant in Seongbuk-gu; moves to Mersin Kebab in Haebangchon, Yongsan-gu, for authentic Turkish flavors; and wraps up at Pescaderia in Gyeongdong Market, Dongdaemun-gu, celebrated for its fresh seafood and lively market vibe. These urban gems are perfect for savoring international tastes without hopping on a plane.
KBS 2TV's 2TV Saengsaeng Information, delivering useful tips and on-the-ground stories every evening, airs Monday through Friday at 6:35 p.m.
