Cartoonist Huh Young-man halts activities after fall; 'Baekban Gihang' season 1 concludes

Renowned cartoonist Huh Young-man has suspended all external activities due to health concerns stemming from a fall. This decision comes as his popular television program, 'Baekban Gihang' (roughly translated as 'White Rice Trip'), prepares to conclude its first season.

The show, which has aired for seven years, will air a special episode titled 'Our Beloved Baekban, 7 Years of Delicious Records.' This special broadcast will serve as a farewell to the first season, reflecting on the culinary journeys and memorable meals featured throughout its run.

Huh Young-man, known for his distinctive artistic style and his role as the host of 'Baekban Gihang,' has been a familiar face on the program, exploring various Korean eateries and their signature dishes. His absence from public life marks a significant moment for his fans and the program.

The program's conclusion of its first season, albeit with a special broadcast, signifies a pause in its regular schedule. Details regarding a potential second season or future projects involving Huh Young-man remain unconfirmed as he focuses on his recovery.
