JTBC’s 톡파원 25시 Ep. 128

톡파원 25시 (Tokpawon 25), a South Korean variety series on cable network JTBC, offers a vivid look at overseas locations, featuring local residents known as "Tokpawons,” or reporters. Originally a 6-episode Lunar New Year special, the show received such positive feedback that it became a regular series in 2022. (*Access with VPN!)

Ep. 128 dives into the vibrant stories behind Kisa and COTE, two of NYC’s most beloved Korean restaurants, and sheds light on the experiences of Korean entrepreneurs in the U.S. restaurant scene. As an on-site videographer, my responsibilities included capturing dynamic footage of the episode’s talent, (host Yelin Jo and the special guests), directing and coordinating shots, and ensuring the visual narrative highlighted the energy of iconic NYC neighborhoods such as the Lower East Side and K-Town.
