The Arirang TV program "Hand in Hand" will look at an American couple living in rural Korea on Tuesday night, June 22nd, at 11:30.
마요 and 제시카 펠라자---after a lengthy search and struggle I gave up trying to spell their names in English---work as native speaker English teachers in public schools in Mungyeong county, North Gyeongsang province. Yonhap has provided broadcast information, but a look at the schedule on Arirang doesn't show "Hand in Hand" at 11:30 p.m. on the 22nd, so you'll need to check for yourself. Nonetheless, for people who have no experience living or visiting rural Korea, it will likely be an instructional program.

Wonder if it'll show up online for those of us who won't be in Korea that night.
Mario and Jessica Pel(l)agia?
How'd you get Mario? Have you seen it spelled in Korean that way before?
My guess is Mayo and Jessica Plaza.
I don't think the name "Mayo Plaza" wouldn't be that unusual for a person of hispanic ethnicity.
sorry, "would be" rather than "wouldn't be"
Here's the write-up on Arirang:

Great, thanks for finding that.
wow, friends of mine in the news.
the names are jessica and carlos 'mayo' perlaza. 'mayo' is a nickname of sorts. i've heard the story of its origin a few times but i've completely forgotten.
they lived in 부산 for a year then moved out to the countryside.
