The 'Dokbakz' team is set to take on a 2.5km trekking challenge.
On October 30th at 9 PM, Channel S will air the 14th episode of 'Nidonnaesan Dokbak Tour 4' (co-produced by Channel S and SK Broadband), featuring Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu as they embark on a tour of Kazakhstan's Charyn Canyon, often referred to as the Grand Canyon of Central Asia.
During the episode, Hong In-gyu reveals, "We've pre-arranged a guide and vehicle for an outdoor tour," introducing their local female guide. The beautiful guide, 'Nora,' who resembles actress Han Ga-in, explains that the 'Dokbakz' team will need to travel approximately three hours by car from their city to reach Charyn Canyon. The group sets off, attempting to bond with Nora through Korean-style dad jokes during the ride.
Eldest member Kim Dae-hee quips, "Nora, Nora, you're young, so Nora," while Jang Dong-min tries to flirt by parodying Byun Jin-sub's song 'Laura' with "Nora, Nora, my love Nora." Bursting into laughter, Nora admits, "I became interested in Korea after watching the K-drama 'Winter Sonata.'" Kim Jun-ho humorously adds, "There aren't many men like Bae Yong-joon in Korea, right?" eliciting more laughter.
In high spirits, the 'Dokbakz' team finally arrives at the much-anticipated Charyn Canyon. Awestruck by the red sandstone cliffs formed by erosion and weathering, they exclaim, "Wow! Amazing," with jaws dropped. They then take on the 2.5km trekking course recommended by Nora. Despite the sweltering heat, with temperatures feeling like 45 degrees Celsius, Kim Jun-ho nervously asks, "Is this the final punishment?" Jang Dong-min also expresses concern, wondering, "Do people die on the way?" However, they soon find themselves marveling at the majestic canyon, repeatedly exclaiming, "It's so mystical," and "Everywhere looks like a sculpture."
Catch the 'Dokbakz' team's Kazakhstan adventure on October 30th at 9 PM on Channel S's 'Nidonnaesan Dokbak Tour 4' episode 14.
