On the SBS variety show ″Our Neighborhood’s Prime Time,″ trot singer Young Tak mentioned their college days while participating in the Jochiwon commercial district revitalization project. In the broadcast on the 29th, Lee Kyung-kyu, Young Tak, and DinDin appeared as the ″Salimdan″ team, presenting various ideas to revive vacant stores outside Sejong Jochiwon Station. Chef Hwang Ji-oh, the winner of MBN’s ″Cheonha Bread,″ newly joined the project. Lee Kyung-kyu warmly welcomed Chef Hwang Ji-oh and shared a humorous story about passing the practical exam for the baking technician certification but failing the written exam by just one point. The Salimdan team discussed developing menus and goods using peaches, Sejong’s representative specialty. Young Tak mentioned the famous Sejong Peach Festival and expressed hope during conversations with the members to be invited as a performing singer at the festival. Interviews with college students using Jochiwon Station revealed a demand for finger foods like gimbap that can be easily eaten while waiting for trains. Young Tak also suggested the idea of a customized figurine shop. Lee Kyung-kyu and Chef Hwang Ji-oh visited a peach farm but were told by the farm owner that it was not yet harvest season, so they could not taste the peaches. Lee Kyung-kyu lightened the mood with his signature humor. Meanwhile, Young Tak and DinDin conducted counseling sessions for young people’s concerns on the Jochiwon university campus. When a freshman from the class of ’26 said she was worried about not having a boyfriend, Young Tak replied that they also had no experience with campus couples during their first year of college. ″Our Neighborhood’s Prime Time″ is a neighborhood revival project that breathes new life into regions facing extinction. Before Jochiwon, it transformed a space in Jinan County, Jeonbuk, into the bakery café ″The Yongdam.″ The program airs every Saturday at 5 p.m. on SBS.
