Rain's Overseas Adventure: A Month Away While Kim Tae-hee Holds Down the Fort in Korea


Korean pop star Rain, also known as Jung Ji-hoon, has revealed that he has been overseas for a month, leaving his wife, Kim Tae-hee, to care for their children alone in Korea.

On the September 25th episode of ENA's 'Crazy Tour,' Rain, along with Kim Moo-yeol, Pani Bottle, and Lee Seung-hoon from WINNER, embarked on a sweet escape and tackled an epic ninth crazy mission in Fethiye, Turkey. Before diving into the main adventure, Lee Seung-hoon took on the role of a one-day chef for Rain, who had just joined the group after an overseas performance and had been abroad for a month. He humorously expressed his longing for Korean food, saying he could eat three bowls of rice with soup in one sitting. The pasta and braised short ribs, made with local ingredients, easily passed the test of the picky 'Bi-chelin' Rain and perfectly suited the taste of 'small eater' Pani Bottle. After exhausting themselves with oil wrestling, the members recharged with a hearty meal prepared by the youngest member.

With their stomachs full, it was time to build some muscle. Fitness enthusiasts Rain and Kim Moo-yeol promised Pani Bottle an experience like never before and dragged him to a gym with a stunning ocean view. There, Rain and Kim Moo-yeol transformed into 'tiger coaches,' providing intense personal training, while Lee Seung-hoon, the 'teasing expert,' added mental training by joking about Pani Bottle's backpack slipping off. Surrounded by trainers, Pani Bottle's desperate attempts to escape the intense workout brought laughter to the group.

After the workout, the group indulged in a heavenly experience at a traditional Turkish bath, or 'hammam.' From a thorough scrubbing to a cloud-like bubble massage and a playful 'bath show' on the heated marble slab 'Göbektaşı,' the members felt all their fatigue melt away. The final cold water rinse and towel dry left them feeling like pampered children, and viewers shared in their blissful moments of relaxation.

After leaving the hammam, the group moved to the location of the ninth crazy mission. The highlight of the day was the epic challenge 'Kebab in the Sky' at Ölüdeniz, one of the world's top three paragliding sites. This wasn't just any paragliding; it involved five people, including experts and the 'Crazy 4 Men,' taking off together to make and eat kebabs in the sky.

However, the lack of necessary headwinds led to a tense wait, and after two hours, the atmosphere was filled with anticipation. To make matters worse, clouds began to gather, threatening to cancel the flight altogether. For safety reasons, only one person could attempt the challenge. In a twist of fate, Lee Seung-hoon, who was the most nervous, became the protagonist of this unique paragliding experience.

Flying solo, Lee Seung-hoon savored his self-made kebab high above Fethiye, with the breathtaking view of the Blue Lagoon unfolding below. After the experience, he described it as a 'truly life-changing lunch' and expressed his regret that he couldn't share it with his fellow members. The 'Crazy 4 Men' successfully completed their ninth crazy mission, sharing their crazy badges with warmth.

The episode concluded with a teaser for the final crazy mission. Set in the historic and mystical land of Pamukkale, the members are expected to jump from a hot air balloon at 2,700 meters, promising an unprecedented 'crazy' challenge. Viewers are eagerly anticipating whether the members will safely complete the finale.
