Premiering on the 19th at 9 PM, 'Sunim and Sonim' is a road trip series featuring 'National Mentor' Venerable Pomnyun and his guests as they travel through India to find their 'true selves' through his signature Q&A sessions. The news that Venerable Pomnyun's 34-year journey of pilgrimage in India is being revealed for the first time on a variety show has already generated significant buzz before its broadcast.
The most eye-catching aspect of the teaser released on the 13th is the transformation of actor Lee Sang-yoon. Having previously formed a connection with Venerable Pomnyun, Lee expressed excitement about their reunion after 8 years. However, as soon as the journey began, he shed his polished elite image and turned into a 'question bomber.' He poured out long-held questions during travel and rest times alike, and even when a conversation seemed to be ending, he would insist, "Just one more question," sending the set into fits of laughter.
The performance of the youngest member, WOOCHAN, is also highly anticipated. WOOCHAN showed off the social skills typical of a 'Power E' (extrovert), remaining unfazed even in the unfamiliar land of India. He played the role of the team's 'golden maknae' perfectly, communicating effortlessly with locals and even showing off his adept bargaining skills. WOOCHAN radiated such unique energy that Noh Hong-chul, who was watching, exclaimed, "What is your secret?"
In particular, WOOCHAN displayed an 'Gen Z-style direct approach,' showing no hesitation even in front of Venerable Pomnyun, who is 50 years his senior. Venerable Pomnyun couldn't help but laugh at WOOCHAN's boldness as he suggested camera angles and asked candid questions, hinting at the special chemistry between the two.
The delightful Indian travelogue 'Sunim and Sonim,' featuring the contrasting charms of Lee Sang-yoon and WOOCHAN alongside Venerable Pomnyun, will premiere on the 19th at 9 PM.
