Yoo Hae-jin and Yoon Kyun-sang's 'Outside the Tent' ranks first in travel entertainment ratings
tvN's 'Europe Outside the Tent - Norway' opened the journey to Norway, the land of the Aurora, with the happy reunion of Hae-jin Yoo, Seon-gyu Jin, Ji-hwan Park, and Kyun-sang Yoon.
In the first episode of tvN's 'Europe Outside the Tent - Norway', which first aired on the 11th, a death penalty camping trip to Norway in Northern Europe was depicted.
The beginning of ‘Europe Outside the Tent’ was, without fail, a preliminary meeting. Although it has been a long time since we last met, the members' charm has not changed. The eldest brother Yoo Hae-jin, who is humorous and personable, Jin Seon-gyu with positive and good energy, reliable camping expert Park Ji-hwan, and lovely youngest Yoon Gyun-sang, the four members with harmless chemistry met again after a long time, adding to the joy.
The first thing the members did when they arrived at Oslo Airport in Norway was to look for a rental car. What caught my eye was Yoon Gyun-sang’s improved English skills. In Season 1, Yoon Gyun-sang, who used a translation app while asking questions in Korean, showed a dependable attitude by leading his brothers with his fluent English skills. In response, Hae-jin Yoo praised him, saying, “Now Gyun-sang is taking care of himself.”
As soon as the members set foot on Northern European soil, they were mesmerized and amazed by the majestic sight of the snow country they had seen for the first time in their lives. The members who headed to the supermarket to buy groceries faced the crisis of not being able to obtain essential survival items such as camping gas, kerosene, and firewood. To make matters worse, the day the members arrived was Sunday, so most stores were not open. The hungry members decided to have hamburgers for their meal. However, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed by the high prices in Norway.
The members decided to go to a nearby gas station and were amazed at the panoramic view of downtown Oslo through the car window. Above all, the scene that caught the members' attention was people jumping into the winter sea without hesitation. The skating rink in the city center and the scenes of people of all ages running on the ice felt like a winter wonderland in the city.
With the eldest brother's determination, we all decided to get out of the car and enjoy the city streets. The members approached the site of local people swimming in the winter sea. Park Ji-hwan guessed that there was a sauna nearby and said, “I want to try it.”
The members headed back to the gas station and were able to purchase firewood. But there was no kerosene there. The members' hearts became urgent as their survival was in danger due to the extreme cold, but fortunately, Yoon Gyun-sang showed his wit and was able to obtain kerosene.
