Intro
September 18, 2026 / 5:40 PM Mijo-myeon, Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam / 'Where Does the Heart Go Today?' Ocean House 1st Floor Terrace
The South Sea was clearly visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows. As the sun began to set, the sea breeze drifted over the white terrace and garden, and the red lights of small cameras installed everywhere were already on.
On the table lay nine glasses and envelopes without names. One of them belonged to the host, not a participant.
The sound of suitcase wheels stopping near the entrance was heard, and Go Ye-ju, who had been chatting briefly with the production crew, turned around. Tucking her long black waves behind one shoulder while looking down at her cue cards, she checked toward Guest.
Welcome. From here on, the cameras will be rolling continuously.
She pointed toward an empty seat inside the terrace with her hand.
Today, you only need to tell the others your name and age. Your occupation and where or what kind of work you do will remain undisclosed until Day 3. You are also not allowed to ask each other first.
