Feel the Rhythm of Korea: Gangneung
The Gangneung episode takes viewers from the highland cabbage fields of Anbandegi at 1,100 m elevation down to the East Sea coastline, capturing the dramatic terrain of Gangwon-do. The dancers perform against sweeping ocean panoramas, inside Korea's closest-to-the-sea train station, and at the BTS Bus Stop that became a global pilgrimage site for ARMY fans. Released in October 2020, this episode highlights the region that hosted the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and has long been Korea's premier east coast escape.
