Spin-off Series 'Pungyanggo' Concludes with Record-Breaking Views

'Pungyanggo', the spin-off of the web entertainment show 'Pinggaego', has wrapped up successfully, receiving an enthusiastic response from subscribers. The final episode, released on December 21 on the YouTube channel 'DdeunDdeun', quickly surpassed 2 million views, solidifying its status as the top long-form content of the second half of the year.

The travel-themed show, which began with a slip of the tongue from actor Hwang Jung-min, garnered significant attention as it marked Yoo Jae-suk's first travel variety show. With its unique concept of 'no app travel', where the cast had to manage everything from currency exchange to accommodation and meals themselves, it offered a refreshing format.

In the last episode, viewers enjoyed the finale of the Vietnam trip featuring Yoo Jae-suk, Hwang Jung-min, Ji Suk-jin, and Yang Se-chan. The four reminisced about their journey over a meal at a Korean restaurant and brought back childhood joy by participating in various games at a night market. On the final morning, they concluded their adventure by taking in the misty scenery of Sapa, reflecting on their travels with 'Pungyanggo'.

Each episode of 'Pungyanggo' consistently ranked among the top trending videos on YouTube, attracting explosive interest. The first episode alone garnered over 10.47 million views within a month, and the total view count for all four episodes reached an impressive 26 million. Despite an average runtime of 100 minutes, the series stood out in an era dominated by short-form content.

Building on this popularity, the production team plans to release an 'Unreleased Chat Playlist' for 'Pungyanggo' on December 29 at 9 AM. The show has captivated both domestic and international audiences through subtitles, allowing viewers to discover the unique charms of its diverse cast.

Fans are eagerly anticipating what new formats will emerge from the connection between 'Pinggaego' and 'Pungyanggo'.
