"What Happened Outside the Schedule"... Seo Hyun-chul Shares an Exceptional Moment from His Honeymoon

Actor Seo Hyun-chul shared an anecdote about how a moment when his thorough plans went awry during a past honeymoon actually resulted in gaining his most precious memory. In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Next-Door Couple Seo Hyun-chul and Jung Jae-eun', Seo Hyun-chul talked about the extensive travel plans prepared by his wife and the unexpected situations that deviated from those plans.

A Honeymoon Itinerary Planned with a 47-Page PPT and Excel

According to the conversation in the video, Seo Hyun-chul's wife prepared a 47-page PPT and an Excel file containing schedules in 30-minute increments for the honeymoon. The file was organized in great detail, including reservation numbers, expected expenditures, and even weather information, all color-coded. However, a train delay that occurred during their trip to Europe was a variable that fell outside the plans his wife had established. Due to the train delay, they faced a situation where all scheduled activities, such as check-in, watching the sunset, and dinner reservations, were pushed back.

An Elderly Couple Met Outside the Schedule and an Unexpected Photo

Seo Hyun-chul revealed that he suggested changing the plans at the time to soothe his wife's vague sense of loss. He entered a nearby cafe run by an elderly couple, which was not part of the plan, together with his wife. According to Seo Hyun-chul's explanation in the video, the elderly couple at the cafe learned that the two were on their honeymoon and gifted them a small cake and even took a commemorative photo for them. Although they were in a state where their appearance was not great due to being soaked by rain, Seo Hyun-chul mentioned that this photo is his favorite photo taken during the trip. This was a moment that did not exist within the 47-page schedule.

"Travel Should Be Taken When Your Heart Trembles"

The conversation led to the purpose and attitude of travel. Seo Hyun-chul mentioned situations where plans go awry during travel, causing anger or making relationships uncomfortable, and shared what he feels through travel. He compared travel to 'reading a good book' and conveyed his thought that travel should be taken not when your legs tremble, but when your heart trembles. He also mentioned his experience of visiting London to see a performance and how that work subsequently entered his life, discussing the meaning provided by experiences such as visiting the village that served as the setting for a work.

The video was structured as an everyday conversation on the theme of 'obsession' featuring actor Seo Hyun-chul and Jung Jae-eun along with other cast members. The cast members continued the conversation by sharing their respective values regarding obsession with planning and travel.
