Airing every Sunday at 12:10 PM for 46 years, this long-running variety show beloved by the nation presented its Seongdang-gu episode—the first to be organized following the administrative reorganization of Incheon Metropolitan City—as its 2,175th broadcast on July 26. This stage was held to great success at a special outdoor venue in the Dream Park Wildflower Garden.

A total of 17 teams with diverse relationships—including sisters-in-law, sisters, and friends—participated in the main competition of this Seongdang-gu episode. The contestants showcased passionate performances with uniquely personalized stages, singing songs such as 'A Wise Choice,' 'Thumbs Up,' and 'Heungbo's Story Is Amazing.' In particular, a Taekwondo demonstration team delivered a stunning Taekwondo performance to Psy's 'New Face,' drawing an enthusiastic response from the audience.

Adding richness to the participants' passionate performances were the congratulatory stages by guest singers.
