Where Is My Friend's Home (Korean: 내 친구의 집은 어디인가) is a television show on JTBC in South Korea which features the cast members of another JTBC show, Non-Summit, as they visit the home countries of the Non-Summit non-Korean members and their friends. The show is in a reality television-travel show format, in the Korean language, and first aired on February 7, 2015.[1][2][3][4] Season 1 ended on April 29, 2016, after completing eleven trips to foreign countries and two trips within South Korea.[5][6] The show was released on Netflix as The Homecoming.[7]
Background
The show follows South Korean and foreign cast members of the South Korean television Non-Summit as they experience cultures of various countries through homestay,[8] meeting the locals, and experiencing a better understanding of multiculturalism.[9][10]
The show, a spin-off of Non-Summit, is less formal, with the cast from the original talkshow panel, now relaxing casually, as "friends", to visit one another's homes. The humor continues; the teaser video for the first episode, a trip to China, was entitled "Steal Things in Zhang Yuan's House".[1][11] The show's posters, entitled "Global friend's house attack project", showed some of the cast's casual activities, like eating ice cream and jogging.[12]
And although somewhat like a travel show, producers said Where is My Friend's Home trips would "not be typical."[4][8] The show also candidly addresses common misperceptions and prejudices about the countries visited.[13][14]
Season 1
Cast
Through the fourth trip, the cast was made up entirely of Non-Summit cast members, current and past.[15] After that, some new cast members were added, including South Korean television personalities and K-pop idols; who, in some cases, played host in their respective countries, augmenting the list of foreign cast members and countries visited.[15] The first instance was the fifth trip to Canada which visited Henry Lau's home in Toronto, as well as Non-Summit cast member Guillaume Patry's home in Quebec.[16]
