"Lee Kyung-kyu, Jeong Dong-won's 'steamy' confession, followed by a 'tsundere' moment
“Dongwon, you are making me 10 years younger!”

'Earth Exploration Life' Jeong Dong-won and Lee Kyung-kyu experienced Mongolian grassland life in the nomadic village in the animal paradise and fell in love with Mongolia's grand scenery.

The 8th episode of MBN's Global Project 'Exploring Earth', which aired on the 27th, recorded the highest viewership rating of 2.9% nationwide based on Nielsen Korea. On this day's broadcast, Jeong Dong-won and Lee Gyeong-gyu vividly experienced life in the Mongolian grasslands, from visiting a ger, a traditional nomadic house, to shearing camels and feeding livestock.

First, Dong-won Jeong and Kyung-gyu Lee stopped by a large Korean chain mart to buy a cake for the uncle of Eruka, the owner of a Mongolian homestay, and succeeded in purchasing a cake. In the end, Lee Gyeong-gyu gave Jeong Dong-won a mission to find candles, and Jeong Dong-won, who was diligently searching for candles, was attracted to the chicken and snack section. In the end, after Jeong Dong-won held an armful of snacks in his arms, he went to Lee Kyung-gyu and said, “I bought it to share,” and caused laughter by acting aegyo.

Afterwards, the two boarded an off-road vehicle and headed to the vast grasslands of Mongolia. However, Jeong Dong-won was scared when the car rattled because he was running on an unpaved road, and Lee Kyung-gyu shouted, "What if I'm afraid of this?"

Finally arriving at Uncle Eruka's, the two greeted each other after receiving a warm welcome from the uncle's family and an introduction to the nine family members. The two people who were looking at the ger, the traditional living space of nomads, were shocked when they came across an outdoor toilet made up of four planks. Jeong Dong-won, who witnessed an outdoor toilet for the first time in his life, was perplexed and said, “Oh, is that a toilet?”, but in the end, he cried at an urgent signal and used the outdoor toilet to eat mustard, foreshadowing the upcoming Mongolian expedition.

Afterwards, Lee Kyung-kyu and Jeong Dong-won drew attention by showing completely opposite appearances ahead of the camel test ride. The timid Jeong Dong-won screamed as soon as he got on the camel's back and showed strong tension while holding onto the camel's hump. . Jeong Dong-won, who challenged himself to shear camel hair before dinner, set out to drive camels as the camels left the cage one by one. At this time, Jeong Dong-won was in danger of being hit by the camel's back foot, and Lee Gyeong-gyu, who saw this, made Jeong Dong-won smile with a worried 'tsundere' look, saying, "You're hurt!"

Among them, a camel waiting for a haircut escaped from the cage again, and when a Mongolian child ran to catch the camel, Jeong Dong-won was also put into an operation to arrest the camel, raising the sense of urgency. In the end, the Mongolian child who caught the camel handed the camel's leash to Jeong Dong-won to lead it, but Jeong Dong-won, completely exhausted, got into the car and grabbed the belly button. And Jeong Dong-won gave warmth to the Mongolian child who arrested the camel by expressing his sincere heart, saying, “He looks so cool even though he is a younger brother.”

While taking a break after completing the camel arrest operation, Lee Gyeong-gyu told Jung Dong-won, “Dong-won, you are making me 10 years younger. I am grateful”, revealing the hidden inside, which made Jeong Dong-won thrilled. In addition, while feeding milk to the goats and sheep, the two did not hesitate to praise them for being “cute,” and they made the viewers happy by embracing the fish and making happy faces.

On the other hand, at Uncle Eruka's birthday party, the two of them learned the new culture of Mongolia by putting off tasting the unfamiliar taste of Mongolian traditional food, Khorhuk (mutton), and doing hand massages using stones in Khorhuk. . Finally, as the two handed over the cake and presents to Uncle Eruka, the sight of Mongolian families singing traditional Mongolian folk songs together conveyed a warm impression to the home theater.
