CandyShop's Chuseok Special at Gyeongbokgung Palace... A Tongin Market Outing Transformed into Kings and Princesses

The group CandyShop showcased a unique side by visiting Gyeongbokgung Palace and Tongin Market to perform role-playing missions for Chuseok. In a video released on September 25, 2026, the members wore hanbok according to characters they selected through a draw and spent time in a traditional atmosphere.

Roles decided by drawing... from kings to princesses and warriors

At the beginning of the video, the CandyShop members used envelopes to decide their roles for a special activity to be conducted at Gyeongbokgung Palace for Chuseok. Through the draw, the members divided roles such as king, princess, scholar, and warrior. According to the conversation in the video, one member took on the role of king, expressing confidence by saying, "I am definitely the king. Seriously," while another member took on the role of princess, showing her commitment to the role by saying, "I will immerse myself from now on; I am a princess from this moment." The member assigned the role of warrior immersed in the role-play by vowing to protect the princess.

Tongin Market brass coin tour and food missions

After deciding their roles, the members visited Tongin Market to enjoy the atmosphere of the traditional market. The process of using brass coins to purchase food at the market followed. In the video, they are seen using brass coins to buy food based on the information that oil tteokbokki is famous. While purchasing tteokbokki, the members mentioned, "One tteokbokki is 1,000 won," and while purchasing honey rice cakes, they reacted by saying, "It's too expensive." Additionally, one member continued the role-play by saying, "I will act as the royal food taster," while enjoying the market foods.

Performing missions at Gyeongbokgung Palace and situational dramas

After finishing the market tour, the members moved to Gyeongbokgung Palace to perform missions. Continuing their activities near Geunjeongjeon Hall within Gyeongbokgung Palace, the members worked to complete the given missions. In the video, situational dramas set by the members continued, featuring scenes such as staging a secret dating drama saying, "We have been dating for 3 years," or the king ordering a warrior to fan him. The final mission was to 'hold hands with two or more people and gather in front of the camera,' and the members proceeded with the filming against the backdrop of the Gyeongbokgung Palace scenery while staying true to their respective roles.
