Singer Bada is drawing viewers' attention as she embarks on a musical journey connecting Korea and France with various male cast members on KBS 1TV's 'Song Camp: Arirang Across the Sea.'

■ Journey Begins with 100 Days Alongside Master Singer Lee Chun-hee

In the first part of the program, Bada visited Lee Chun-hee, the state-designated holder of the intangible cultural heritage of Gyeonggi folk songs, to begin a 100-day journey. Bada, who learned music from her father, a singer in his childhood, performed a song in front of the master singer, and Lee Chun-hee did not spare her praise, saying, "You are truly excellent. I have never seen (such talent) before."

■ From Busking Along Deoksugung Stone Wall Path to the Streets of Hongdae

Bada then held a busking performance along the stone wall path of Deoksugung with music content creator Jo Maeryeok. Regarding filming by the production crew, Jo Maeryeok said, "If I may dare to warn you, the crew here works really hard(?), so you need to be mentally well-prepared," and Bada responded, "I'm worried about the crew. I'm the type who has to do everything more than 100 times to feel satisfied, so they will suffer because of me," drawing laughter.

Later, on the streets of Hongdae, she sang her hit song 'Mad' and 'Miryang Arirang,' which she had learned from Lee Chun-hee, receiving a great response.

■ Hanbok Busking in Front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris

Moving her stage to Paris, Bada showed her passion for music by singing Arirang on her accommodation's balcony. She then performed a busking session in a hanbok at Trocadero Square with the Eiffel Tower in the background. She personally prepared pamphlets containing lyrics in both French and Korean, drawing attention from locals and tourists alike. When a local merchant named Paco appeared, Bada could not hide her delight, saying, "I met the prince of the Eiffel Tower."

■ Part 2 Preview: Chanson Challenge and Visit to Notre-Dame Cathedral

The second part of the program will show Bada learning French music from a chanson trainer and preparing a collaborative stage. It will also feature her visit to Notre-Dame Cathedral as she recalls her experience playing Esmeralda in the musical 'Notre-Dame de Paris' 19 years ago. In front of the cathedral, Bada teased a meeting with another 'man with flowers,' heightening curiosity.

Part 2 of 'Song Camp: Arirang Across the Sea' will air on October 14 at 7:40 p.m.
