The travel keyword that comes to mind these days is ‘<a href="https://time.news/%ed%95%9c%ea%b5%ad%ea%b8%b0%ed%96%89-oh-haeyoung-kang-part-1-the-taste-of-gangjin-baekban-dasan-table/" title="[한국기행]Oh, Haeyoung Kang! Part 1 – The taste of Gangjin Baekban ‘Dasan Table’”>Kang Hae-young’? It looks like a person’s name at first glance, but it is not a person’s name. It is said that the three neighboring regions at the end of Jeollanam-do, Gangjin, Haenam, and Yeongam, are called ‘Ganghaeyoung’ by taking only the first letters.

Although it is a neighboring area, ‘Kang Haeyoung’ attracts people with its different charms. In particular, fall is the time when you can truly feel Kang Hae-young’s true self.

From Gangjin, full of traces of fertility, to Haenam, the land of abundance, to Yeongam, with the legend of a miraculous rock,

Let’s go to ‘Kang Haeyoung’ to enjoy the taste and style of the South Island!

This week (October 14th – October 18th) EBS 1TV current affairs and culture program ‘Oh, Haeyoung Kang!’ Five episodes will be broadcast.

‘Kang Hae-young’, who embraces ‘Honam’s famous mountain’. Among them, ‘Wolchulsan Mountain‘, which straddles Yeongam and Gangjin in Jeollanam-do, is a famous mountain called ‘Geumgangsan Mountain of the Honam’ for its beautiful scenery. However, it is not an easy mountain for beginner climbers due to the mountainous terrain boasting muscular formations with strangely shaped rocks.

There was someone who proudly took on the challenge of the difficult hike, and that person was Kim Gyeong-jin, who is famous as the so-called ‘Haenam fittest farmer’ for his handsome appearance and physical strength. I confidently set out to conquer Wolchulsan Mountain.

Female mountaineers we met on a lonely hike. What is the charm of Wolchulsan Mountain that the women who climb this mountain every season say because they are so captivated by it? And even the ‘hamburger mukbang’, the favorite snack of professional mountaineers. The ups and downs of a fit farmer and his conquest of Mt. Wolchul! What is the result?

Now that you’ve tasted the charms of Gangjin and Yeongam with your own eyes, it’s time to enjoy it with your mouth?! This time, Mr. Kim Gyeong-jin guided us to his second hometown, Haenam. They say there is a special health food that can only be tasted in Haenam.

An alley where you can taste Haenam-style ‘local chicken course meal’. From fried chicken legs to chicken bulgogi, boiled chicken, and chicken porridge. They say you can taste a whole chicken. What about a hearty meal made using the chef’s secret recipe that has been passed down for 50 years?

Let’s take a look at ‘Kang Hae-young’s travels that are enjoyable for the eyes and mouth.
