Famous celebrity friends Kim Woo-bin, Doh Kyung-soo, Lee Kwang-soo, and Kim Ki-bang starred in the variety show "Green Bean, Red Bean: Reap What You Sow" (hereafter GBRB), which captures their lively rural adventures. In "GBRB", the cast became novice farmers, growing crops and making kimchi with their harvest, concluding an eventful Season 1. Inje offers a refreshing escape with lush nature, fertile soil, and the joy of harvesting—a perfect place to discover the unique charm of K-rural life.
A tofu restaurant full of homemade flavors
This restaurant is where the cast enjoyed some of their most satisfying meals during the filming of "GBRB." Gohyangjip, featured in the Blue Ribbon Survey (a renowned Korean restaurant guide), serves a variety of homemade dishes, including kongbiji (pureed soybean jjigae) and fried bean curd made fresh every morning. Doh Kyung-soo particularly enjoyed the kongbiji


Four-star hotel blending nature and speed
During the height of summer, while the cast of "GBRB" enjoyed a samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) party, they were caught in a sudden rainstorm and took shelter here. Inje Speedium is a unique hotel where guests can watch car races or even drive on the track, making it a popular destination for car racing enthusiasts. The hotel also features an arcade, "Play Zone," where the cast spent time together.


A stunning landscape of 690,000 birch trees
This expansive forest of 690,000 birch trees is Inje’s most popular attraction, drawing tourists year-round. Walking along its forest paths, you’ll feel the sunlight filtering through the dense birch leaves, creating a tranquil, heartwarming scene. In winter, the white trunks and snow-covered branches enhance the forests’ serene beauty even further.


A treasure trove of Inje’s natural beauty
Named one of the "Top 100 Famous Mountains" by the outdoor brand BLACKYAK, Bangtaesan Mountain offers an authentic Korean hiking experience. With crystal-clear streams, untouched forests filled with rare plants, and sweeping views from its 1,443-meter summit, it’s a hiker’s paradise. A highlight is the two-tiered waterfall flowing over Madangbawi (a wide, flat rock) in the recreational forest, which resembles a landscape painting and is a favorite photo spot for photographers.
