Tourists spots in Pohang and Gyeongju will be introduced.

Hallyu star Bae Yong Joon will produce the video documentary with the beauty of Korea and he plans to air it in Korea and Japan nationwide. Famous tourists spots of Pohang and Gyeongi are also included in the documentary and it’s expected that it will be a big help in attracting Japanese tourists.

Keyeast, in which Bae Yong Joon is a major shareholder, is working on the production of a documentary video using the highlights of the whole country that appeared in his essay book, “The Journey to Discovery the Beauty of Korea” which was released last September.

The city of Gyeongbook said, in Gyeongbook 1 of the part 3, Moongyeongyo, Sangjoo Folk Song, Hahoe Town in Andong, and Hahoe Masked Dance will be filmed with the subject of “Adjust the dress, fill me and empty me”.

In Gyeongbook 2 of the part 4, Hwangryongsaji, Seokgulam, and Boolguksa in Gyeongju and the tourists spots of Pohang such as Guryongpo Japanses town, Jookdo Market, and Hojigot with the subject of “Pass the ancient times and walk the modern times” will be introduced.

The tourists spots of Pohang didn’t appear in his book, but it’s said that the city of Pohang made a special request.

The production team including the producer in charge already visited the sites and will start the shooting from the middle of October. The video documentary will be aired on MBC and they say that they’re currently negotiating with the Japanese broadcasting company about the airing.

Jang Jeongsool, the team leader of the International Cooperation Department of the city of Pohang, said that “We expect that the video documentary airing will attract more Japanese tourists due to Bae Yong Joon’s marketable quality.”

BYJ's high school class mate says..

“I was in the same class with Yong Joon in Hanyoung High School (day class). Do you know the composer, Park Keun Tae? He was in the same class with me as well. Yong Joon was neat, played billiards very well, and dressed well. He was even famous with the girls of Myungil girls’ High School and Jung Shin Girls’ High School nearby.

He was never interested in fighting and was close to the elite class mates (including me. Haha). He was interested in movies, such that he was the member of the Drama Club. He went to the Shin Myung Reading Rooms in the Myungil Apartment Complex. Many girls used to wait for him in front of the reading rooms when he was about to get on the van (suehan: after study). OMG, who is spreading the rumor that he was in the night class? He has a bad temper? No way. I’m just laughing at this false rumor.”

(Suehan)I found another posting regarding his high school days from the twitter account.

“I would like to give off the tender charisma like Bae Yong Joon. Long times ago, I used to go to the same gym and billiard room with Bae Yong Joon. I didn’t go with him, just same time and same place. We used to live in the same neighborhood, Gangdonggu. Bae Yong Joon went to the Hanyoung High School, and I went to the Baejae High School.”
