The members of ‘Hong Kim-dong Jeon’ were unable to film due to Super Typhoon Saola
In the recent episode of KBS2’s entertainment program ‘Hong Kim Dong-jeon’, the members shared their experience of their first overseas filming in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, their plans were thwarted by the powerful Super Typhoon Saola.
Luxurious Accommodation and Unexpected Weather
Despite news of the approaching typhoon, the members were initially delighted to find clearer weather than expected upon their arrival in Hong Kong. They were accommodated in a luxurious suite on the 40th floor of the finest hotel in the city, offering a breathtaking view of Victoria Harbor. This extravagant room, worth 8 million won per night, boasted a white-toned bedroom, a large bathtub, and even a walk-in closet.
Moreover, the hotel surprised the members with its infinity pool and a renowned four Michelin-starred restaurant.
Typhoon Strikes and Plans Change
The members’ excitement soon turned into worry as the typhoon rapidly intensified. The howling winds shook the reflectors on the road, and it felt like even the palm trees might topple over.
During their lunch at the prestigious Michelin-starred restaurant, the members received real-time news of citywide closures. Jo Se-ho, unable to resist the temptation, hungrily finished the remaining food on their plates. Eventually, for their safety, the production team made the decision to retreat to the hotel.
Hong Jin-kyung was startled by the empty streets and marveled, “This scene feels like something out of a movie set. I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
A Disruptive Super Typhoon
The super typhoon that hit Hong Kong, the first of its kind in 74 years, boasted winds of 160 km/h. Consequently, the production team had no choice but to cancel all filming plans, further complicating matters as the members’ flight was also cancelled.
Hong Jin-kyung lamented, “I had even prepared clothes for tomorrow, brought by my boss.” The staff members empathetically tried to help each other with spare clothes. However, with all the shops closed due to the typhoon, Hong Jin-kyung sighed, “I might have to buy at least a pair of underwear. This situation is truly troublesome.”
As the reorganization period began, the typhoon warning level was raised to the highest level, level 10. Joo Woo-jae expressed concern, “I hope viewers don’t misinterpret the situation. From the outside, it may appear calm and peaceful, but the soundproofing of the hotel makes us unaware of the severity of the storm.” This statement sheds light on the seriousness of the situation.
Jo Se-ho, feeling exasperated, questioned, “Why is this happening only to us?” The production team could only ask for understanding, stating, “Please understand that we have found ourselves in this unexpected and challenging situation.”

In the KBS2 entertainment program ‘Hong Kim Dong-jeon’, which was broadcast on the 14th, the story of the members who went on their first overseas filming in Hong Kong was told.
There was news that a typhoon had occurred just before the recording day, but the members who arrived in Hong Kong were pleased to see clearer weather than expected. The accommodation they stayed in was the highest end hotel in Hong Kong. The members stayed in a suite on the 40th floor with a view of Victoria Harbor through wide open windows. It was an extremely luxurious room worth 8 million won on the night.
Joo Woo-jae, who saw the suite with a white-toned bedroom and a large bathtub, was delighted and said, “I can sleep in the closet today.” The hotel was a surprise as it had an infinity pool and a four Michelin star restaurant.
Shortly after we started our journey, a typhoon came and the wind started to get stronger. The reflectors on the road shook violently and the wind blew as if the palm trees were falling.
While enjoying lunch at a Michelin star restaurant, members heard news of the closure in real time. Jo Se-ho began to eat the remaining food hungrily, and in the end the production team decided to return to the hotel for safety. Hong Jin-kyung was shocked and said, “There are no people on the street at all. This is the first time I’ve seen such a scene. It feels like a movie set.”
The typhoon that hit Hong Kong was a super typhoon with a speed of 160 km/h, the first in 74 years. The production team canceled all filming plans due to the emergency situation. To make matters worse, the members were devastated when their flight was cancelled.
In particular, Hong Jin-kyung said, “My boss brought a set of clothes with the intention of going tomorrow.” The staff also brought clothes one by one. Hong Jin-kyung sighed, saying, “I have to buy at least one pair of underwear, but it’s a big deal because all the shops are closed.”
During the reorganization period, the typhoon warning was raised to level 10, the highest level. Joo Woo-jae said, “I’m afraid viewers will misunderstand. We’re sitting like this and it looks very quiet and peaceful, but the soundproofing of the hotel is amazing,” making it known that the situation is serious.
Jo Se-ho lamented, “Why is this only happening to us?” The production team said, “Please understand that we have been placed in such an unexpected situation.”
