A New K-Drama for Your Soul—and Bucket List
Kim Jaeyoung made a stylish appearance at the press conference for The Concierge of Travel (여행을 대신해 드립니다), Channel A’s upcoming weekend drama set to premiere on August 2. The event was held at the Showking K-pop Center in Seoul’s Sangam-dong neighborhood and was attended by director Kang Sol and co-stars Gong Seungyeon, Yoo Junsang, Hong Soohyun, and Oh Hyunjung.
From Stage Center to Cultural Landscapes
Based on a bestselling novel by Japanese author Maha Harada, the drama follows a former K-pop idol turned travel reporter who was never the center of the spotlight—until now. Tasked with taking on others’ dream trips, he begins to discover what true success and happiness really mean.
In other words: Think of it as a soul-searching road movie with gorgeous Korean backdrops, minus the jet lag. Perfectly tailored for the holiday season, this is the kind of healing drama that trades high drama for heartfelt detours—both literal and emotional.
Visual Therapy and a Star-Studded Cast
If you’re the type who replays K-drama beach scenes just to pretend you’re there—this one’s for you. Promising breathtaking visuals of both domestic and international locales, the show doubles as a virtual vacation.
And the cast isn’t holding back. With Kim Jaeyoung’s charming presence, Gong Seungyeon’s emotional depth, and veteran actors Yoo Junsang and Hong Soohyun adding gravitas, expect a heartfelt ensemble performance that leans into warmth, humor, and vulnerability.
All Eyes on August
The Concierge of Travel might just be your next comfort binge. Whether you’re staycationing with your AC or dreaming of faraway shores, this drama invites you to reflect, reset, and maybe even tear up in the process. As Kim Jaeyoung and the cast bring each journey to life, viewers are in for a rare healing combo of wanderlust and wisdom.
