SBS 'Tales of the Day You Bitten Your Tail 2' (hereafter referred to as Kokomu 2) tells the story of the collapse of Sampoong Department Store.



In 'Kokkomu 2', which will be broadcast on the 10th, 26 years have passed since the collapse of the Sampoong Department Store, a major disaster that should never happen again, the shocking secret hidden in the splendid pink building is revealed.



On June 29, 1995, Jihwan, who was working at a kitchenware store on the basement floor of a famous department store in the heart of Gangnam, went in and out of the bathroom several times that day. It was for washing. It's usually a place where the air conditioner is turned on so much that it's cold, but that day was particularly sweltering. On the other hand, some people were very excited about this heat. It was a distraction from working in the storage room on the first basement floor. Because there were no customers because of the heat, it was very leisurely. At the same time, Byeong-ho, the youngest in the kitchen of a Japanese restaurant on the 5th floor, had his mouth full. Half of the restaurants on the 5th floor are closing their doors and leaving work, but Byeong-ho's shop decided to reopen. Then, suddenly, the chef's urgent cry was heard: "Run! Run! Get out quickly!"



The moment I ran down the emergency stairs without knowing the English word, the building shook with a great roar, and a gust of wind blew, turning the world into darkness. At the time, no one knew what had happened. It was the collapse of the Sampoong Department Store that drove Korea into shock and horror.



At that time, there were 1,500 people in the department store, including customers and employees. However, the building collapsed in an instant, and most people were unable to get out. The incident, recorded as the worst catastrophe since the Korean War, left 502 dead and 937 wounded.



The night before the collapse, security guards were browsing the department store when they heard a strange sound echoing through the building. It was a strange sound, as if something was breaking. Following the sound, we arrived at the restaurant on the 5th floor. There, the guards witnessed a startling scene. There was a large sinkhole in the floor of the restaurant. The management's response after the security guard's emergency report was shocking. Just before the collapse, something other than 'people' was being evacuated.



Sampoong Department Store collapsed in just 10 seconds. 'Trio' Jang Hang-jun, Jang Seong-gyu, and Jang Do-yeon talk about the reason why the luxurious department stores on the 5th and 4th floors disappeared as if they had been bombed, and the secrets hidden behind the collapse of the Sampoong Department Store.




Winner Kang Seung-yoon, comedian Moon Se-yoon, and actor Jeon Seok-ho will appear as story friends in this broadcast.



Singer Kang Seung-yoon, an all-round entertainer capable of acting, singing, and singing, visited 'Kkokomu 2' as a story friend of Jang Seong-gyu. Se-yoon Moon, a popular comedian, said to have won the regular fortune, the best fortune for broadcasters, visited 'Kokkomu 2' as a friend of Jang Do-yeon's story. Moon Se-yoon completely forgot the food in front of him and fell deeply into the tense and vivid story of that day. The story of director Jang Hang-joon, who is a regular customer of 'Kokkomu', actor Jeon Seok-ho, a friend of the actor, expressed regret by bursting with anger and resentment at the unbelievable story in a tragic situation.



The episode of 'The Fall of Pink Desire: The Sampoong Department Store Collapse Disaster' of 'Kokkomu 2' will be broadcast at 10:30 pm on the 10th.
