'Documentary 3 Days' revives viral 2015 pact with special reunion episode
KBS2 to air the long-promised Andong Station meetup on Aug. 22, a decade after two travelers vowed to return The date for a decade-in-the-making reunion is finally drawing close, but will all participants keep the pact? On Saturday, the team behind KBS' 'Documentary 3 Days' revealed via its official social media channel that a special edition of the series will air Aug. 22 on KBS2. The network's second channel is best known for its slate of dramas and variety programming, as opposed to KBS1's news and public affairs focus. 'A promise from August 15, 2015. 'Let's meet here on August 15, 2025.' So, we decided to set off for that place,' the post read. The accompanying poster teased, 'Time that had been standing still begins to flow again,' adding, 'We decided to just head there without a plan. Will we … be able to meet?' The announcement comes as 'Documentary 3 Days' has enjoyed a viral resurgence, driven by renewed interest in a 2015 episode that resonated with viewers. The installment, which wrapped its run in 2022, followed travelers using Rail-ro, a pass issued by Korail that allows one KTX trip per day for either seven consecutive days or any three selected days. In the episode, two female students made a pinky promise with the show's camera director, saying they would return to Andong Station exactly 10 years later for a reunion. The students also urged the camera director to 'continue shooting documentaries 10 years later.' The director quipped, 'Would I still be working here then?' sealing what became a lighthearted yet heartfelt pact to meet again in 2025. That moment has since gone viral, racking up millions of views on YouTube and other platforms. On July 28, the show's camera director stoked anticipation with a cryptic social media post: 'The day we promised 10 years ago is coming. Should we go? Or not?' Additionally, in response to the buzz, KBS Documentary's official YouTube channel reuploaded the episode on July 24. Although it remains uncertain whether the long-awaited reunion will take place, a special episode will air on KBS2 at 10 p.m. on Aug. 22.

Government officials dance to K-pop song to promote global summit
Picture this. A senior government spokesperson dressed like a K-pop idol, dancing to a viral Netflix tune ― on the official YouTube channel of Korea's Ministry of Agriculture. On Tuesday, the ministry uploaded a video featuring spokesperson Jeon Han-young dressed as Abby, a muscular K-pop boy band member of the fictitious Saja Boys in Netflix's 'Kpop Demon Hunters.' In the clip, Jeon takes on the 'Soda Pop Challenge,' a trending dance from the show, bouncing his shoulders to the beat. The lighthearted video was made to promote the 10th APEC Food Security Ministerial Meeting. The summit will bring together officials from 21 Asia-Pacific economies in Incheon this weekend to discuss food security and innovation in agriculture. 'We wanted to highlight the event in a way that feels global and current, while encouraging public interest,' a ministry official said, adding that the dance challenge "was perfect for it." As of Wednesday morning, the video had surpassed 11,000 views. The Agriculture Ministry's recent push into digital media began in June last year, as public concern over food prices was rising. Minister Song Mi-ryeong started appearing in online videos to explain policy and connect more directly with the public. Some of those videos leaned heavily into humor. For instance, in one, inspired by Netflix's 'Culinary Class Wars,' spokesperson Jeon appears as competition judge Ahn Seong-jae to evaluate Agriculture Minister Song's cooking. The ministry's strategy seems to be working. Its YouTube channel now has more than 258,000 subscribers, the highest among Korea's 19 central government agencies.
