At 9 p.m. on the 21st, MBC 'The Story of Space Transcending Time - Architecture with a Reason' (hereinafter 'Architecture with a Reason') talked about the first new city of the Joseon Dynasty and a planned city 'Suwon Hwaseong' ahead of Paris, France.
Suwon Hwaseong, an architectural travel destination for the second episode, is a new city and planned city built by King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty, consisting of a 5.74km-long fortress, four gates, a palace, and attack and defense facilities. It is a legacy that proves the social and technological development of Joseon in the 18th century and was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. In particular, this year, the temporary residence and government office of the king, 'Hwaseong Haenggung', which was damaged through Japanese colonial era and the Korean War, was completely restored in 119 years, which is even more meaningful.
Hong Jin-kyung cited the coexistence of the past and present as the biggest attraction of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, saying, "It feels like the World Heritage Site should be stuffed in a museum, but Suwon Hwaseong coexisted with its citizens. It was fascinating to see him take a walk on the fortress road." Park Sun-young said, "With each angle of turning one's head, it felt like the times were changing from Korea to Joseon Dynasty"It was the perfect place for "Time-Twisted Space Talk Show - Architecture with a Reason" he said.
On this day, architectural travelers released photos of various experiences on Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon. Jeon Hyun-moo shows selfies taken with a train 'Hwasong Fishing Car' that circulates through major attractions in Suwon Hwaseong, and "This fish car trip is perfect for the hot summer. If you ride a Hwaseong fish car, you can look around major branches of Suwon Hwaseong, including Bukdonggakru Pavilion, Janganmun Gate, and Hwaseong Haenggung Palace." Park Sun-young then released a night view of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress taken by a hot air balloon, saying "When I went up high and saw the entire fortress, the scale felt even more real." Other cast members who traveled by architecture on foot throughout the city envied them.

In addition, architectural travelers speculated why King Jeongjo chose 'Suwon' as Joseon's first new city and planned city. Professor Yoo Hyun-joon cited Suwon's 'road network' as the reason and explained that Suwon is located at a key road point where Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do meet. He then compared the road networks of each city, saying "The road network is an important factor in determining the character of a city." Political cities such as Paris and Washington DC use the 'radial road', while commercial cities such as Amsterdam and New York use the grid. In response, Hong Jin-kyung "Talking about Suwon Hwaseong Fortress." All the world's cities are going to be talked about"He burned his enthusiasm as a 'real genius, the king of study."

On the other hand, Professor Yoo Hyun-jun also covered 'the value of restored buildings' through 'bullet marks' of the stonework of Janganmun, which left traces of the Korean War.
▶ Hong Jin-kyung, "I've hidden crosses all over the walls of my house." Confession of faith
Art director Cho Hwa-sung raised questions by saying that he recalled actor Lee Young-ae when he introduced Suwon Hwaseong Haenggung. "Many people think of dancheong only as a colorful pattern under the eaves, but the red pillars that support the building are also part of dancheong," he said. "In fact, Mr. Geum-ja's trademark red eye makeup was originally a dark circle, but it was changed later." He revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the movie `Kind Geum-ja-si.' At that time, the makeup artist wore red eye makeup to give Geum-ja, who had to take revenge with a woman's body, that she was never weak. Director Cho then said "This makeup artist also did Choi Min-sik's hair from Oldboy." When Jeon Hyun-moo heard this, he was surprised, saying "He's a good player."
Hong Jin-kyung then shared her feelings about visiting the Northeast Gakru, a monitoring facility and pavilion in Hwaseong, Suwon. How can surveillance facilities be so beautiful?," he exclaimed repeatedly. In response, Jeon Hyun-moo asked "Is it necessary to build a nice facility when it is a facility that monitors the enemy?" and architect Yoo Hyun-joon explained "This is related to the characteristics of show off." It contains the message "Don't you dare come to the enemy by showing them the magnificent and magnificent architecture." He then talked about dolmens, pyramids, and the Great Wall as examples, adding that "Building is a war prevention shot."
This was not the only reason why Hong Jin-kyung admired Northeast Gakru. He found something great", and released a photo of the secret hidden in the Northeast Gakru, the cross of the wall and roof. Then "Isn't the cross engraved because Jeong Yak-yong, who designed Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, is a Catholic?"," he said, burning his curiosity about the hidden theory (說). In addition, it seems that Jeong Yak-yong and I have something in commonHe surprised everyone by saying, "'I've also hidden crosses all over the inside of my walls.'"
Park Sun-young, the last architectural traveler on the day, introduced the night view of Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon and released photos of the North Gate at sunset. Jeon Hyun-moo, who saw this, said "It's not a downloaded picture, is it?," he said, admiring the beauty of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, which is different from daytime. Hong Jin-kyung then said "Watching the night view has become a must-go course anywhere in the world." In response, Yoo Hyun-jun said that the night view is famous because of the editing effect of lighting. "Lighting can erase the complex urban landscape around you and show only what you want to emphasize.", he explained.
