Lucky, Daniel, and Alberto visited Seomun Market, a representative traditional market in Daegu, to experience the unique Korean sentiment and a variety of delicious foods during their special trip to the city.
The YouTube channel ‘354’, run by entertainers Alberto, Daniel, and Lucky, uploaded a video titled “Thank you Chan-won, three foreigners losing their minds over K-market culture.”
In the video, Lucky, Daniel, and Alberto headed to Daegu, known as Lee Chan-won’s hometown, and visited Seomun Market. Upon arriving at the massive market, which boasts a long history and over 5,000 stores, the cast received a warm welcome from the merchants, making them realize once again that Daegu is indeed “Lee Chan-won’s hometown.”
Starting their market tour, the members stimulated everyone’s appetite by trying local delicacies found only in Daegu. Their non-stop food tour included savory peanut bread, naturally sweet carrot juice, Namui-pyeong handmade dumplings with a great spicy seasoning, and protein-packed heart skewers. The cast was completely captivated by the deep charm of Korean market food, especially after tasting the famous Daegu flat dumplings.
The reactions of citizens recognizing the members throughout the market confirmed Lee Chan-won’s influence, which is practically on the level of a Daegu PR ambassador. As many subscribers greeted them warmly, Alberto and Daniel expressed their amazement at the hot response in Daegu, saying, “This is all thanks to Lee Chan-won.” During the shoot, they chatted with a child of an acquaintance who revealed they had a video call with Lee Chan-won the previous day and had enjoyed oriental melons sent by Lee Chan-won’s father, showcasing his close bonds with people.
Wrapping up their trip, the members praised Seomun Market as a place where Daegu’s history, culture, and the warm hearts of its people live and breathe, beyond just being a commercial space.
