Do-ol Ah-in Going All Directions is a hybrid of lecture and variety program that reinterprets a hundred years of modern and contemporary history of Korea that transcends the past and future, and communicates through generations and genders.[1][2]

It was created as a special project to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and the March First Movement. The title "오방간다" (Oh-bang-gan-da) is derived from the Cardinal direction, and refers to 'all directions' and 'joyful and excited state'.[3][4] The title was created by Yoo Ah-in, and he directly participated in the planning, co-writing and co-directing each episode, including casting the performers.[5][6]
