According to KBS on the 29th, “Lee Man-gi has been confirmed as the MC for season 2”.

The production team said, “From Kim Young-cheol, a national boy, to Lee Man-ki, the son of the neighborhood, in the beautiful succession of the neighborhood keeper, we will deliver a story that is warm, pleasant, and the life of real neighborhood heroes shines.”

With Kim Young-cheol, he meets ordinary neighbors and discovers the hidden stories of the neighborhood and rediscovers the value of the neighborhood, receiving a lot of response from viewers.
