납량 특집 Part 2: Killer Webtoons, Cursed Scenes, and Snacks for Ghostly Nights

Friday, July 31, 2026 • Duration 35:05

This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we continue our 납량 특집 with two Korean horror films that turn modern media itself into a source of fear. We look at 더 웹툰: 예고살인, or Killer Toon, where murders happen exactly as drawn in a webtoon, and 씬, or The Sin, where a film shoot in an abandoned school turns into a ritualistic nightmare. Then we explore ghost-repelling traditions and the very modern late-night snacks Koreans eat while scaring themselves on purpose.

CHILLING SUMMER: KOREA’S HORROR TRADITION & NETFLIX’S DONGGUNG

Friday, July 24, 2026 • Duration 32:48

On this week’s Arirang Travel Diaries, we’re beating the muggy summer heat with a classic Korean tradition: a chilling Nablyang (납량) special!

We’ll explore the true meaning of Nablyang—literally 'inviting in the cool breeze'—and look into Korea’s long-standing tradition of summer horror stories. Then, we’ll step inside the haunted palace and dark curses of Netflix’s new series Donggung, starring Nam Joo-hyuk, Roh Yoon-seo, and Cho Seung-woo.

To top it all off, we’ll introduce traditional red bean dishes believed to ward off evil spirits, along with the best modern late-night snacks to munch on during a horror drama binge!

'K-Stock Market' (Feat. the movie Default)

Friday, July 17, 2026 • Duration 36:22

In this week's Arirang Travel Diaries, we are unfolding stock charts instead of travel maps.

We’ll dive into the KOSPI—Korea's benchmark stock index—and the unique trading culture of Korea's retail investors (locally dubbed "ants"). We'll also examine the recent market shocks triggered by leveraged ETFs and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) in the wake of the AI and semiconductor rally.

Next, we'll connect today's investment anxieties with memories of the 1997 IMF financial crisis through the lens of the film Default. Finally, we’ll wrap things up with a highly relatable look at the everyday comfort foods of retail investors—from convenience store lunchboxes and "panic coffee" to cup noodles, fried chicken, and comforting stews.

The Rainy Season and the Onset of Sambok Heat

Friday, July 10, 2026 • Duration 33:17

This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we discuss the onset of the intense summer heat, 'Sambok,' which arrives following a brief rainy season. We explore the meanings of 'Chobok,' 'Jungbok,' and 'Malbok,' and delve into Korea's summer culinary culture for restoring vitality in the sweltering heat. We then focus on the summer scenery, seasonal vegetables, and refreshing summer dishes featured in the movie 'Little Forest,' starring Kim Tae-ri. Finally, we compare two starkly different methods of surviving the summer: the piping hot Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) and the chilled Kongguksu (soybean noodle soup).

Friday, July 3, 2026 • Duration 36:12

This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we are heading back to school to mark the end of the spring semester and the start of summer vacation! We will look back at school memories—from report cards and hagwons (cram schools) to emailing professors about grades, and the nostalgic snack shops right outside the school gates. Next, we will dive into the hit Netflix series Vigilante (True Education) to examine the breakdown of teacher authority, school violence, and the ongoing debate surrounding juvenile offender laws. Finally, we will wrap up by treating ourselves to some classic comfort foods: tteokbokki, sundae (blood sausage), fried snacks, and the ultimate convenience store recipe combinations.

JSA, Divided Brothers, Border Memories, and a Day Trip to the DMZ

Friday, June 26, 2026 • Duration 31:09

This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we take on the Korean War through Park Chan-wook’s JSA – a film that proves sometimes the most dangerous thing at the border isn’t a weapon, but friendship. We’ll talk about 6.25, separated families, televised reunions, and why Korea’s unfinished war still lives in memory, media, and everyday life. Then we head north of Seoul for a DMZ day trip through Imjingak, Dora Observatory, the Third Tunnel, and Paju’s surprisingly delicious borderland food scene.

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 31:19

Murky Waters, River Gangsters, Merchant Dreams, and a Sunset Ride on Seoul's Han River

This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, we explore the river that made Seoul possible—the Han River. From Joseon-era ferries, merchants, and river gangsters to Disney+'s historical drama 탁류 (The Murky Stream), we examine a side of Korean history rarely portrayed on screen. Then we return to present-day Seoul to ride the new Han River Bus and discover how this ancient trade route is once again becoming part of daily life.

Friday, June 5, 2026 • Duration 31:12

This week on Arirang Travel Diaries, Korea’s June 3 local elections shift our focus to campaign trucks, city halls, local councils, and the power of the voter on the street. We look at Kingmaker, a sharp political drama about the strategist behind the candidate, and Honest Candidate, Ra Mi-ran’s comedy about a politician who suddenly cannot lie. Then we head to Daejeon, the symbolic heart of Chungcheong — Korea’s famous casting-vote region — where campaign symbolism meets gukbap, Seongsimdang bread, and old-downtown cafés.
