Jeong Dong-won, 'disconnected life' in an area where cell phones are not available... Sheep tending and shearing camels







MBN's global project 'Earth Exploration Life' contains a 'life and hard work project' in which 17-year-old Dong-won Jeong experiences life in a foreign country with a different race, language, and culture and struggles to survive. In the last broadcast, Jeong Dong-won and Lee Kyung-gyu experienced Bali's Tabanan market, and then quarreled at the monkey temple where 1,000 monkeys live.
In the 7th episode of 'Earth Exploration Life', which airs at 9:10 pm on the 20th, Jeong Dong-won and Lee Gyeong-gyu finish their earth exploration life in Bali, arrive in Mongolia, a country of vast steppe, and learn about the Mongolian way of life.
The two met a Mongolian couple who speak fluent Korean at the airport and expressed their expectations for life in Mongolia. Jeong Dong-won was thrilled with the news that he would visit a ger (a mobile home where nomads live) that he usually wanted to visit in the cool weather of Mongolia.
However, their joy was short-lived, and the two fell into confusion when a local said, “There is no electricity in the ger.” Dong-won Jeong and Kyung-gyu Lee shouted “Oh my God” when a local told them that their cell phones were not working, and their eyes widened. With all-time chores pouring in, such as providing milk for lambs, picking up dung for firewood, and shearing camels, the two raise questions about how they will live and adapt to life in Mongolia, where civilization has been cut off without electricity or Wi-Fi.
While listening to the story of a Mongolian couple who got married in their early 20s and formed a family, Jeong Dong-won worried about Jang Min-ho, saying, “Now, Mr. Jang (marriage) is the most urgent.” He also made the scene into a sea of laughter with a dark expression saying, “I am 2 years older than my father.” When Lee Kyung-gyu pointed to Jeong Dong-won and asked, “How about a son-in-law like this?” the Mongolian wife looked at her husband and smiled broadly, making him curious about the reason.
Jeong Dong-won and Lee Kyung-gyu did their best for the last earth exploration life in Bali. Jeong Dong-won walked the cows and fed the pigs and fulfilled his mission. For the last meal in Bali, Lee Kyung-gyu started cooking K-chicken with chicken powder and seasoning sauce that he had personally delivered. While the Balinese chicken cooked by Tamun's wife and the Korean chicken made by Lee Kyung-kyu were set up, the Tamun family who tasted Lee Kyung-gyu's Korean chicken raised questions about the last meal in Bali.
The production team said, "We will meet 'Chin' Mongolia beyond what we imagined," and "Please look forward to what kind of synergy Lee Kyung-gyu and Jeong Dong-won will create in wild Mongolia."
'Earth Exploration Life' is broadcast every Tuesday at 9:10 pm.
