Before heading to Australia, the six members meet for the first time at a screen golf venue, revealing their varying levels of experience from 2 to 22 years, and test their skills in a tense atmosphere.

Meanwhile, in the studio, Hong Kyung-min and Kang Jae-jun appear as guests, observing the six members from the 'gallery room.' Kang Jae-jun reveals his romantic side when asked by Cha Tae-hyun if he received an invitation to join, to which he responds, "Yes," but explains he couldn't participate due to the timing coinciding with his wife Lee Eun-hyung's childbirth. He adds, "I definitely want to join next time," focusing attention on the golf trip.

The 'Nullarbor Links' course they are heading to is astonishingly long, with an 18-hole course stretching 1,365 km, taking 48 hours to traverse, and requiring 7 nights and 8 days to complete from South Australia to Western Australia. After hearing the course details and game missions, the six members split into OB (Old Boys) team Cha Tae-hyun, Go Chang-seok, In Gyo-jin, and YB (Young Boys) team Nichkhun, Chanyeol, Yoon Sung-bin, and begin their rounds.

First up are OB team member In Gyo-jin and YB team member Nichkhun, who start the 'Two-On Challenge' on a PAR 5 hole. Despite the mission to reach the green in two shots, the daunting 485m distance leads to failures, prompting them to request a rule change to a 'Three-On Challenge' from the production team.

However, 'youngest' Yoon Sung-bin confidently states, "If it's 480m, just hit 250m twice," causing his older teammates to hold their heads in disbelief. Go Chang-seok exclaims, "Alright, you XX! We can't do it," expressing frustration and bringing laughter to the scene. Anticipation builds to see if Yoon Sung-bin, known for his 'power swing,' can succeed in the 'Two-On Challenge' and how his 'MZ youngest charm' will unfold during the trip with his older teammates.

The golf journey of the 'celebrity golf enthusiasts' aiming to conquer the world's longest golf course can be seen on LG U+ Mobile TV's original variety show 'Going the Distance.' 'Going the Distance' will air on LG U+ Mobile TV at 3 PM and on Channel A at 8 PM on October 30.
