‘Pomnyun Road – Monk and Guest’ has released its second teaser video ahead of its highly anticipated premiere!
Premiering on SBS on the 19th at 9 PM, ‘Pomnyun Road – Monk and Guest’ follows ‘national mentor’ Ven. Pomnyun and a variety of guests on a journey to discover their ‘true selves.’
This show is drawing huge attention as it marks Ven. Pomnyun’s first-ever appearance in a road variety show. Fans are especially excited as parts of his 34-year pilgrimage to India will be revealed on a variety show for the first time.
The second teaser features Noh Hong-chul, Lee Sang-yoon, Lee Joo-bin, Lee Ki-taek, and Woochan from the group All Day Project, who visited India at the invitation of Ven. Pomnyun. From laughter-filled moments to the grueling process of climbing rugged mountain paths, the guests show a wide range of emotions. Noh Hong-chul’s exhausted state, asking “Is this a trip or training?” and falling asleep in the car, gives a hint of how intense the journey really is.
The highlight of the show, the ‘Instant Question and Answer’ segments, are also stealing the spotlight. Ven. Pomnyun provides direct and unexpected answers to the guests’ worries. He bluntly tells Lee Joo-bin, “That’s an obsession,” and flips the common saying “Knowledge is power” by telling Lee Sang-yoon that “Knowledge is a disease.” When Woochan mentions his interest in cars, the monk explains the difference between interest and obsession. He even leaves Noh Hong-chul speechless and the audience laughing by asking, “Why are you asking me that?” in response to a question about investments.
Even through a short teaser, the unique concept blending travel, spiritual training, and realistic counseling is raising expectations. Online, fans are eagerly waiting for Ven. Pomnyun’s honest and sharp advice.
