After an exciting debut season, Hashtag Travelog is back with season 2– HASHTAG TRAVELOG in TAOYUAN. The program will be airing in 8 countries, premiering in Korea on 28th May on tvN Show and TVING and 1st June on tvN Asia across Taiwan, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Helmed by the well-loved K-pop boy group CIX, they return not just as travelers, but as personalized travel guides for Korean audiences, delivering immersive, entertaining, and social media-worthy explorations of Taiwan’s hidden gem: Taoyuan.
Leveraging their prior travel experience, the CIX members take on the role of Travel Mates and YouTuber-style hosts, showcasing the charm of Taoyuan through a Millennial and Gen Z lens. The group, consisting of Hyunsuk, Yonghee, Seunghun and BX recently made waves with the release of their 7th mini album,‘THUNDER FEVER’, and now channel their dynamic energy into travel storytelling.
One of Hashtag Travelog’s standout features is its social-first approach — each city is explored through popular hashtags, leading the cast to local landmarks, cultural activities, and hidden culinary gems. CIX even creates their own witty, Gen Z-inspired hashtags and shares them via the show and their personal Instagram accounts, connecting directly with fans.
In Taoyuan, their adventure includes:
- A time-travel-like stroll through Daxi Old Street, where they dive into a 10-snack challenge, tasting delicacies like traditional marinated tofu, tofu pudding, and the 85-year-old cream cheese ball.
- A lively night at Zhongli Tourist Night Market, where classic night market games like ring toss and bingo-style throws bring out their playful side.
- A calming and aesthetic visit to the Xpark Jellyfish Gallery, where they snap fun selfies mimicking stingray expressions and enjoy the ambient jellyfish light show.
- A culinary journey into Hakka cuisine, set in a century-old heritage house, where each member passionately presents their favorite dish in a fun “TV commercial-style” segment to tempt viewers through the screen.
