On the MBC liberal arts program 'The Reasoned Architecture-Space Traveler' (hereinafter 'The Reasoned Architecture') which aired on the 23rd, the last architectural trip was held under the theme of 'Seoul, the author of Hangang'. A unique trip that shares the development of Seoul and intensively explores the Han River, which depicts the tomorrow of Seoul, caught the attention of viewers.
Jeon Hyun-moo, Park Sun-young, and Lim Woo-il, a man with a Han River View apartment, gathered to form the Han River Expedition. They left for the Han River Bridge, the first footbridge on the Han River, which was completed in 1917, among the numerous bridges on the Han River. While following Park Sun-young's guide to the Hangang Bridge, which is divided into old and new bridges, Jeon Hyun-moo used his eyes to point out an older bridge.
Jeon Hyun-moo stamped "This side is new, and it looks hard because there are a lot of things on the other side." In fact, it was confirmed that the old bridge did not have any development in welding technology at the time.
The three men who went down the Han River Bridge discovered the Great Flooding Mark in 1925. It was surprising that the flood had changed the map of Jamsil, Seoul. At that time, the whole of Seoul became a sea of water due to the pouring rain, which caused the Han River to split into two branches and flow.
Later, as part of the development of the Han River, the original Han River (formerly Songpa River) was reclaimed, and the current Jamsil map was completed. The part that was not filled up became Seokchon Lake, and the cast members knew for the first time about this"I could not hide my surprise.

North Korea was also in the background of Hannam University, which boasts the largest traffic volume among the Han River bridges, being built with 12 round-trip lanes. When the intelligence that North Korea was building a bridge along the Daedong River was reported at the time, the existing plan was revised to make the bridge wider. The opening of Hannam Bridge soon led to the acceleration of Gangnam development and became a starting point for Seoul's development.
Jeon Hyun-moo, who studied the bridges of the Han River hard, took the crew to a hip place on the Han River. In the world's first hotel built on a bridge, Jeon Hyun-moo and Lim Woo-il drew laughter by leaving a photo of themselves as if they were a couple on a honeymoon. I also visited Noeul Island, a famous sunset restaurant and night view restaurant. The fact that Nodeul Island was not originally an island but a land connected to Gangbuk was surprising.
And it was reported that it will become more popular through the renewal project in 2027. Lim Woo-il jokingly said "Today, Jun Hyun-moo and I will come and stop all MZs from visiting, and we will gather again in the future", and Jeon Hyun-moo replied "I'm here to make the construction easy".
'Architecture for a Reason', which became a regular programming thanks to favorable reviews on pilot broadcasts in 2024, gave freshness by going on a space trip with a differentiated point of 'Architecture'. Beyond the simple introduction of buildings, the story was expanded to various areas such as history, culture, and society through architecture, giving an in-depth perspective, followed by favorable reviews from viewers. Architect Yoo Hyun-joon solved professional knowledge easily, and Jeon Hyun-moo, Hong Jin-kyung, and Park Sun-young completed a fantastic breath by adding strength to curious questions and colorful perspectives.
A total of 10 themes were space-traveled, and 39 architectures were explored. We looked at the masterpieces of Kim Joong-up and Kim Soo-geun, the first-generation architects who designed Korea, and explored why Seongsu-dong and Haebangchon became hot places through the eyes of architecture. In addition to the history of Bukchon Hanok Village, which was protected from Japan, the charm of Hanok was also conveyed.
Hong Kong, which was known only as a city of gastronomy, film, and shopping, has been newly interpreted from an architectural point of view. Berlin, Germany, which has emerged as a city of techno, sheds light on hip buildings and architecture that remembers the wounds of war.
Every architecture had a reason, and there was a story hidden in the space. Hong Jin-kyung's admiration that "I can see as much as I know" proved this.
At the end of the season, Jeon Hyun-moo said, "It was a time to get to know difficult architecture in a fun and deep way", Park Sun-young left a comment saying, "'Architecture is not difficult.' Yoo Hyun-jun added "Each episode's guests' eyes made it even richer"I looked back on my last trip.
Lastly, Jeon Hyun-moo said, "See you next season.", leaving a promise, leading to the expectation of a return to the new architectural journey 'Architecture for a reason'.
MBC 'The Reasoned Architecture-Space Traveler' is a new concept architectural talk show that tells stories that cross various fields such as history, culture, economy, art, and science through architecture, and ended the season on Sept. 23 with favorable reviews.
