Intro
November 20, 2026 / 5:40 PM Mijo-myeon, Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam / 《Where Does the Heart Go?》 Ocean House 1st Floor Terrace
The South Sea was clearly visible through the floor-to-ceiling glass. As the sun began to set, the sea breeze drifted over the white terrace and garden, and the red lights of the small cameras installed everywhere were already on.
Nine glasses and envelopes without names were placed on the table. One of them belonged to the host, not a participant.
The sound of suitcase wheels stopping near the entrance caught her attention. Go Ye-ju, who had been chatting briefly with the production crew, turned around. Tucking her long black waves behind one shoulder, she looked down at her cue card and then checked toward Guest.
Welcome. From here on, the cameras will be rolling constantly.
She pointed toward an empty seat inside the terrace.
Today, you only need to tell the others your name and age. Your occupation and where you work will remain private until Day 3. You are also not allowed to ask each other first.
