(The CEN News / Reporter Nam Sa-woong) KBS 2TV's signature info program, 2TV Saengsaeng Information, spotlights vibrant scenes from across South Korea on the 6th. Expect spring blooms at Pocheon’s Hantangang Garden Festa, a playful pairing of char-grilled jjukkumi (baby octopus) stir-fry with pizza, a hidden scenic gem in Jincheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, and an in-depth look at squid—the ocean’s reputed health tonic.

In the \"Live Scene\" segment, the show visits the 2026 Pocheon Hantangang Spring Garden Festa. Set at the Hantangang Ecological Landscape Complex in Gwanin-myeon, Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province, the festival is packed with spring colors, family-friendly activities, and plenty of photo ops for daytrippers.

Next, the \"Master of Trade\" segment highlights Hwarihwari — Seongnam Gachon University Main Branch in Seongnam, Gyeonggi, which has become known for its unusual combo of direct-flame jjukkumi stir-fry and pizza.

Their signature set pairs 700°C (about 1,292°F) char-grilled jjukkumi with a sweet potato–corn confit pizza (19,000 KRW per person (approximately $14.25)). Located a two-minute walk from Gachon University Station Exit 3, the restaurant is easy to reach. They also offer nationwide delivery of their jjukkumi stir-fry meal kits, and the TV feature is expected to drive even more interest.

In the \"Mr. Lee's One Photo, Korea\" segment, the team heads to Jincheon County in Chungcheongbuk-do for the program’s 472nd mission site.

The episode showcases Jincheon's natural and cultural highlights: the thousand-year-old Jincheon Nongdari stone footbridge; the adrenaline-inducing Mir309 suspension bridge over Chopyeong Lake; the popular Chopyeong Hwanggeumjip fishing platform; the Peninsula Topography Observation Park with panoramic views of the Korean Peninsula–shaped landscape; the charming Sasan Village; the lively Saenggeo Jincheon Traditional Market; and a scenic stretch along Baekgokcheon lined with white Ipahp tree blossoms.

In the final \"Food X-File\" segment, part two takes a closer look at squid as a marine superfood.

The team visits a 24-hour unmanned café at Ulsan Buk-gu’s Underwater World, Wine Ryul Yeonhui (Yeonhui-dong Main Branch) in Seoul—renowned for its squid-ink risotto and pasta—the Duseon Saengyak stall at Gyeongdong Market, and Gapsan Korean Medicine Clinic in Gangnam. Experts weigh in on squid’s health benefits and demonstrate a range of preparation methods.

Packed with must-see sights and mouthwatering bites, KBS 2TV's 2TV Saengsaeng Information airs today at 6:35 PM.
