Lee Chan-won’s five-sense stimulating online trip, a wind of healing blowing through the home theater
Written on: June 15, 2026 | Column by current affairs critic specializing in IT/media
Taking a break from busy daily life and taking a trip is the most powerful prescription for modern people. As if to quench the thirst of these viewers, JTBC's 'Talk Partner 25 Hours', which aired on the 15th, delivered various aspects of the world to their living rooms, from the magnificent Alpine scenery of Bern, Switzerland, to the cozy hot springs of Fukuoka, Japan, and the healing daily life of New Jersey, USA. In particular, broadcaster Lee Chan-won's honest and vivid reactions maximized immersion in the program and showed the essence of online travel that goes beyond simply conveying travel information and empathizes with viewers. This episode provided viewers with unique inspiration by covering in depth various themes that vary depending on the travel destination.
The first point of interest in this broadcast was the diverse scenery of Bern, Switzerland and the travel destination verification process. The old town with its medieval atmosphere and the peaceful flow of the Aare River were enough to immediately capture the attention of viewers. In particular, the Alps View Hotel, which was named one of the ‘10 most beautiful hotel swimming pools in the world’, aroused admiration with its overwhelming scenery alone, and Chan-won Lee even let out a heartfelt exclamation as he watched it. The spectacular scenery of the Alps and the view of the spire of Bern Cathedral, which can be reached via an expensive gondola, were introduced as points that caused a clear difference in satisfaction among travelers, and practical travel tips were provided.
In the following ‘Talk Partner GO’ corner, customized information was presented based on the specific situation of the first overseas trip with a 30-month-old child. The fact that Uminonakamichi Seaside Park was included in the course for children who love trains made it a very useful guide for families. The process of directly interacting with over 50 types of animals and experiencing a mini steam locomotive was a clever route that satisfied both the child's interest and the parents' satisfaction. In addition, Yufuin's private ryokan hot springs located in nature were the envy of all the studio cast, and Lee Chan-won showed deep sympathy for the value of quiet and peaceful rest conveyed beyond the screen.
New Jersey, USA, the final destination of the trip, was decorated with two colors: healing and competition. The space where more than ten golden retrievers can freely mingle gave viewers a warm healing moment, befitting its nickname, “the happiest place in New Jersey.” The unique restaurant introduced later heightened interest with an urgent cooking competition reminiscent of ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’. The unique format of completing a three-course meal within a limited time and deciding the winner through guests' votes went beyond simply introducing delicious restaurants and presented a new travel trend that combines gourmet food and entertainment.
The key point throughout this broadcast is that the charms of different cities were carefully curated to suit the needs of viewers. Rather than simply listing attractions, we categorized themes such as family travel, relaxation, and gourmet food to help viewers design a trip that suits their tastes. In this process, Lee Chan-won took the center stage of the program and played a role as a bridge representing the charm of the travel destination from the viewers' perspective. His honest reactions and deep interest in travel destinations contributed decisively to the program going beyond simple informational entertainment and connecting emotionally with viewers.
■ Conclusion and analysis outlook
As a result, ‘Talk Partner 25 Hours’, which aired on the 15th, was a time that once again reminded us of the intrinsic pleasure and value of relaxation that travel provides. The directing ability to harmoniously combine the characteristics of different regions such as Switzerland, Japan, and the United States, combined with the lively energy of the cast, including Chan-won Lee, presented a highly complete online travel experience. At a time when seasons are changing and the desire to travel is increasing, this broadcast has played a role in motivating new travel for many people and revitalizing their daily lives. This is why I look forward to the hidden charms of various parts of the world and the colorful stories that will unfold within this program in the future.
