'1 Night 2 Days' started a tour around the country for the first time in season 4 for 3 days and 2 nights.
KBS2's '1 Night 2 Days Season 4' (hereinafter referred to as '1 Night 2 Days'), which aired on the 30th, featured '2 Nights 3 Days Around the Country' and presented a free and spontaneous trip from Gangwon-do to Gyeongsang-do in celebration of the holiday season. The viewership rating was 7.8% (provided by Nielsen Korea, based on nationwide households), ranking first in the same time slot.
In particular, the scene where Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, and Yoo Seon-ho met the oldest man in Hahoe Village quenched his throat and sang his favorite song passionately rose to the highest viewership rating in Bundang, 12.4% (based on households nationwide). The 2049 viewership rating was also 2.3% (based on households in the metropolitan area), ranking first in the same time zone, coloring Sunday evening with cool laughter.
The opening started with the 6 members packing their bags for the trip from their respective homes and gathering in the morning at the KBS opening venue. The concept of this trip is for the members to directly infer cities across the country for 3 days and 2 nights based on the given hints. They took out their belongings and were half nervous and half excited at the thought of sharing the joys and sorrows together for 3 days and 2 nights instead of 2 days and 1 night.
DinDin showed an active attitude, saying that he would not consider this trip as a broadcast. He brought out a sunshade hat and even chicken breasts in an insulated bag, exuding passionate energy, and whenever he turned into a pidin, he put on sunglasses and said he would hide his expression, making the scene a sea of laughter, bringing great joy even before the start of the trip.
The six men arrived at Auraji, Jeongseon, Gangwon-do, their first destination. They become cupids of love to fulfill the love of a bachelor and a virgin who couldn't meet because of the swollen river. The members who successfully sang the heartbreaking Jeongseon Arirang gave a gift of satisfaction to those who played the role of cupids, such as delivering a jade ring, a token of love, to the statue of a virgin.
The second mission was a relay kicking the nose with noodles, a delicacy of Gangwon-do. The six members, who started the mission under the leadership of Kim Jong-min and Dindin, unfolded a super-strong mission that hit the forehead, not the bridge of the nose. Those who succeeded in the mission with just one challenge set off for the next destination, Gyeongsang-do, with a light heart.
In the car on the way to Andong, the members sang Jinsung's 'At Andong Station' with a full soul and stopped at a rest area to buy ice cream, enjoying the feeling of vacation. After arriving at Byeongsan Seowon, they accepted three types of missions there. Moon Se-yoon showed an angry expression, asking if he had been here for three hours to get one. Along with Yeon Jung-hoon and Kim Jong-min, he stole DinDin's sunglasses and copied DinDin's trademark pouty expression, etc., and sniped the audience's laughing point with reckless behavior.
After arriving at Hahoe Village, the 6 members began to take a picture of Hahoe Village at Buyongdae, among the three missions, and greet the oldest elder in the village. Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, and Yoo Seon-ho, a team from Hahoe Village, searched for the oldest villager, and a 97-year-old village elder was waiting for them at the house they visited. Kim Jong-min pulled out a piece of trot and had a fun party, and the elderly also sang back songs. This warm-hearted scene brought smiles to the faces of the viewers.
Yeon Jeong-hoon, Dindin, and Na In-woo headed to Buyongdae to take pictures of Hahoe Village. Na In-woo conveyed memories of seeing Buyongdae to his older brothers and raised their expectations for Buyongdae, and those who arrived felt the nature and started climbing slowly. At the place they arrived, beautiful and quiet scenery awaited the three men. Photographer Yeon Jeong-hoon, who is in charge of the photos of '1 Night 2 Days', carried out the mission by capturing the panoramic view, and finally, the three of them also melted into the beautiful natural scenery and left a commemorative photo of Soon Do-soon Oh.
