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]
