Although the Korean show Documentary 3 Days ended three years ago, a memorable promise made in its 2015 “Andong Station” episode has reignited public interest, creating a wave of anticipation across the country.
Originally aired in 2015, the episode captured a heartfelt interaction between two female college students and a cameraman who was filming alone at Andong Station. The trio agreed to meet again at the same place and time— 7:48 AM on August 15, 2025 , precisely 10 years later. As the date draws near, social media platforms, online communities, and YouTube are abuzz with discussions and heartfelt posts about this nostalgic promise.
In the episode, one of the students cheerfully said, “Let’s meet here on August 15, 2025,” to which the cameraman responded, “I don’t know if I am still going to work as a cameraman then… Alright, it’s a promise.” That brief but touching exchange now symbolizes a timeless bond, resonating with many who long for the sincerity and simplicity of youthful dreams.
Clips of the scene have gone viral, rapidly spreading through Reels and Shorts, captivating viewers with its raw sentimentality. The moment has even inspired responses from major companies like KORAIL Distribution, Albamon, Oreo, Coupang, JanSport Korea, and NOL (formerly Yanolja) , who have joined the online conversation by commenting in support.
KBS also acknowledged the buzz by uploading the original video titled, “August 15, 2025 at 7:48 AM, Andong Station – A Promise From 10 Years Ago.”
The original cameraman recently posted on his social media:
“That summer… after the train departed, we went through nine more summers. Now, the tenth one is approaching. Thank you to everyone who has filled this promise with your own romance and made it shine.”
The student who made the original promise had also resurfaced online three years ago, commenting:
“To the PD who was filming alone at the station that morning—are you still working with a camera? Sometimes I think about that time. August 15, 2025… just three years away now. I, who was a university student, am in grad school now. 21-year-old me was vacuum-sealed back then. I hope to see you at Andong Station in a healthier, post-COVID world.”
Netizens are rallying behind the hope of seeing the promise fulfilled:
- “I’m waiting for 7:48 AM on August 15!”
- “This needs to be livestreamed by all major networks.”
- “I didn’t know about this until recently, but I’m excited now!”
- “Are you going? Or not?”
- “Please bring your camera and capture the reunion.”
The countdown has begun. Will the promise of youthful hearts and captured memories survive the test of time? All eyes are on Andong Station on August 15, 2025.
