Almaty to appear on South Korean TV show
South Korean reality-observational show «My Little Old Boy», broadcast on the SBS channel, will feature a special episode dedicated to Almaty, the Almaty Tourism Bureau announced.
The agency’s team accompanied the film crew around local sights and landmarks. The episode is scheduled to air in early February.
«Well-known Korean actors participated, including Bae Jung-nam, Lee Sung-min, Kim Sung-kyun, and Kim Jong-soo. They visited key tourist attractions in the city and its region, including Kok-Tobe, Shymbulak, Medeu, Green Bazaar and Kolsai Lakes,» the bureau said in a statement.
South Korean actors have been increasingly visible in Almaty in recent months. For instance, actress Kim Ji-eun shared photos taken in the Ile Alatau Mountains in late December 2025. Furthermore, popular K-drama actor Son Suk-ku was also spotted in photos taken in Kazakhstan.
