Lee Guk-joo, handsome YouTuber and Southeast Asian 7-star hotel staycation

Lee Guk-joo, who appeared on Channel S' 'A Map to Go Again', traveled directly to Brunei, a hot 'Southeast Asian country' that has emerged since the pandemic.

The 63rd episode of Channel S' 'A Map to Go Again', which aired on the 15th, featured 'Best 3 Hidden Travel Destinations in Southeast Asia' accompanied by comedian Guk-joo Lee and travel creator 'Chae Ko-je', along with travel partners Kim Shin-young, Lee Seok-hoon, and instructor Choi Tae-seong. Under the themes of 'It's a gift from God, Ninh Binh, Vietnam', 'Fire Show on the Beach, Koh Tao, Thailand', and '7 Star Golden Wealth(?) Romance Brunei', Southeast Asian travel destinations that are booming these days were introduced.

Koh Tao, which came in third, is an island located in southern Thailand and has a lot of turtles, so it has a nickname called Turtle Island. The private house with an exotic sensibility was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery with the ocean view in front of the terrace. In addition, the 'John Suwan View Point' drew admiration with colorful fish and turtles welcoming divers in front of them. Then, when a fire dancing show that made Heungji explode even to the viewer at Hotple Beach unfolded, Kim Shin-young of the studio exclaimed, "It's as natural as spooning."

Ninh Binh, which came in second, was a city of water with spectacular views. 'Baidin Temple' boasts the largest area in Southeast Asia at about 2.1 million pyeong, 'Arhat Corridor' with 500 Arhat statues in a row, 'Pep Chu Temple' with 100 tons of gold Buddha statue, 12-story high It presented a variety of attractions such as the large pagoda 'Pagoda of Baidin Temple'. Next, 'Jjang An', with beautiful natural scenery such as water caves and rocky mountains, provided healing. 'Hang Mua', the best view point in Ninh Binh, made me admire the jaw-dropping scenery.

'Brunei', which was selected as the first place, raised interest as Lee Guk-joo acted as an agent traveler. Lee Guk-joo enjoyed 200% of the hottest Southeast Asian country, Brunei, with Chae Koje, a handsome travel creator. Lee Guk-joo and Czechze toured Brunei's landmark 'Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque', which cost about 10 billion won. Afterwards, they stimulated the salivary glands of those who spread a storm eating show such as Lalapan Kampoong set, satay set, fried beef ribs, and fried spinach at a hot local restaurant. The Brunei 7-star hotel, which is said to have cost 3 trillion won in construction costs, caught the eye with its overwhelming scale of 550,000 pyeong and golden and natural marbles entwined throughout the hotel. When Lee Guk-joo asked Chae Ko-je, "How many rooms did you get?" Lee Guk-joo laughed with a slightly regretful look.

The night tour of the Brunei Amusement Park caused a lot of laughter. Lee Guk-joo was horrified to learn that he had to weigh himself before boarding the rides, and after riding the rides, he screamed out in fear. Lee Guk-joo cried, "I'm going to retire. It's scary. The shadow is not good. The shadow is also ugly." Lee Guk-joo, who got off the ride, said, "Let's play each other tomorrow. I don't have the confidence to play. I feel like I'm in Gangnam naked right now."

The two also took a tour of 'Ulu Temburong National Park', which was the first national park established in Brunei and one of the world's top three national parks. The two laughed as they were frightened by the large-scale doctor fish experience.

Lee Guk-joo and Chae Ko-je were localized in Brunei's traditional costumes without any awkwardness at their first meeting, and Lee Guk-joo, who showed interest in Chae Ko-je without a break, and the Czech-made spear and shield chemistry that hit the iron wall caught the belly button of the viewers. Lee Guk-joo suggested a collaboration again, saying, “Maybe we will go again next time?”, and Chae Ko-je readily accepted it. The image of the two becoming friends through the trip made them smile. As such, interest in the next online destination to be introduced by 'Map to go back', which showed a fruitful travel course in Brunei, Koh Tao, and Ninh Binh, Southeast Asian countries that have risen after the pandemic, is soaring.
