‘Talk Partner 25’ embarks on a virtual journey filled with passion and enthusiasm.

On the 7th at 8:50 PM, the JTBC entertainment program ‘Talk Partner 25’ (directed by Hong Sang-hoon and Kim Seon-jun) will take a virtual trip to São Paulo, Brazil, known as the ‘New York of South America,’ along with comedian Shin Yoon-seung, featuring a special segment on universities around the world, including a virtual exploration of New York University.

First, the traveling talk partner AlphaGo will delve into São Paulo after exploring Rio de Janeiro. The Brazilian Independence Monument, located in the middle of the Independence Memorial Park where Brazil's declaration of independence was made in 1822, catches the eye. The monument also features the likeness of the Portuguese prince who ruled Brazil at the time, sparking curiosity about its significance.

Additionally, they will visit the Pacaembu Stadium, where viewers can learn about Brazil's football history as the country with the most FIFA World Cup victories and a powerhouse in football. Here, they will see photos of legendary players such as Pelé, Garrincha, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho, as well as exhibits showcasing historical moments of the Brazilian national football team in the World Cup. Furthermore, a viewpoint on the 42nd floor offers a chance to enjoy the sunset over São Paulo, capturing life-changing photos at a transparent glass photo spot.

A new American talk partner currently studying at New York University will share all aspects of campus life, providing entertainment. They will explore various locations on campus, including Washington Square Park, the student dining hall located in Weinstein Hall, and the Bobst Library, the largest library at NYU, enhancing the excitement.

Meanwhile, during the ‘Give it to me’ segment, a fierce competition will unfold among the cast over merchandise purchased from the NYU gift shop. Under the intense quiz competition on New York trivia prepared by the American talk partner, Lee Chan-won will showcase an extraordinary competitive spirit, eliciting laughter with his unprecedented reactions.

With a diverse range of experiences from the São Paulo tour in Brazil, the New York University tour in the USA, the Lemon Festival in Menton, France, to a month-long stay in Auckland, New Zealand, JTBC’s ‘Talk Partner 25’ will air today (7th) at 8:50 PM.
