Broadcaster Kim Seong-ju revealed that her second son, Minyul, is 164cm tall.

In JTBC's 'Backpacking, Not a Package - Clumpy Returns' broadcast on the 4th, Kim Yong-man, Kim Seong-ju, Ahn Jung-hwan, and Jeong Hyeong-don, who were attempting their first train trip, were depicted leaving Barcelona and boarding a train to their destination, Montserrat. .

On the third day of their trip to Barcelona, the 'Unite Returns' foursome completed a fruitful day by realizing their dream as soccer fanatics at FC Barcelona's Camp Nou and visiting Montjuic Hill to relive the excitement of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. To relieve their hunger, the four people visited an open-air cafe near their accommodation and enjoyed local food such as Spanish fried squid calamari and traditional Spanish handmade ham jamon.

Kim Seong-ju's shopping bags piled up on the chair attracted the members' attention. Ahn Jung-hwan, who witnessed Kim Seong-ju shopping at Camp Nou, pointed out, "I saw that everyone was only buying their own clothes." When Kim Yong-man asked if it was true, Kim Seong-ju explained, "It's mine, but my kids are already as tall as me," and "Min-yul is 164cm tall." He added, "Minyul is already wearing my clothes. Why are kids always so small? Let's spend money on me too." Jung Hyung-don also joined in and sympathized with his father's sorrow and demanded an apology from Ahn Jung-hwan, making everyone laugh.

Following Sports Day, on the fourth day of the trip, the four people's destination was the Montserrat Monastery. Montserrat, which means jagged mountain, is famous for its majestic natural scenery and one of the world's four most sacred sites. It is also a place where you can see the black Virgin Mary statue, which is said to grant wishes, and a performance by the Escolania Choir, one of the world's top three boy choirs. It is a nearby travel destination about an hour away by train from Barcelona.

The members set out on their first train trip without the help of a package guide, half excited about leaving for a new city. The members trusted and followed Jung Hyung-don, the only man they could trust, and Jung Hyung-don guided the members by relying on the information in the blog. Jeong Hyeong-don, who masterfully even issued a train ticket to Montserrat, experienced confusion in the process of finding the boarding platform. The information on the blog and the information on the sign were different. As a result, the members were confused and had a group meltdown. However, Jeong Hyeong-don did not give up and tried his best by asking local staff for help and searching the blog again.

The crisis continued at Monistrol Station, a transfer station where the members safely boarded the train and got off to transfer to the mountain train to Montserrat. For the members who sang that they wanted to have a drink while riding the train, Yongman Kim suggested that they go to a cafe in a nearby town. However, the place he guided me to was a Chinese restaurant, not a cafe, and the cafe I found was also closed.

In the end, Ahn Jung-hwan and Jeong Hyeong-don took the initiative and struggled to find a cafe. The cafe the two visited was an emotional open-air cafe with a panoramic view of Montserrat, which was enough to attract the members. The members enjoyed a cup of coffee here. Kim Seong-ju and Jeong Hyeong-don said, “This is the happiest time since I came to Barcelona,” and were completely intoxicated by the atmosphere of the cafe and the taste of the dessert.

The members entered the transfer station full of anticipation at the thought of being able to see the long-awaited performance of the Escolania Boys Choir. However, Jeong Hyeong-don, who came after checking the train time with the station attendant, delivered the news as if it were lightning to the members, saying, “I guess we won’t be able to see the performance?” The excited mood of the members, who were frustrated in the face of an unbelievable reality, changed 180 degrees, and a battle of blaming others unfolded.

Ahn Jung-hwan said, “The person who planned the trip to Spain is responsible,” and held Kim Yong-man, the guide for this trip, responsible. Then Kim Yong-man said, "There is a way. I will play the video at the right time," and suggested an alternative of vicarious satisfaction by watching the performance video. When the members' reactions were not positive, he quickly tried to settle the argument by saying, "This is a free trip," which made people laugh.

The members took in the majestic nature with their own eyes on the train, and consoled their disappointment by watching a video of the beautiful harmony of the Escolania Boys Choir, which resonated as clearly as an angel singing. After many twists and turns, the members arrived at the Montserrat Monastery and were speechless at the breathtaking scenery.

Members who entered the interior of an old-fashioned cathedral that made them feel like they had traveled back in time to the Middle Ages were greeted by a black statue of the Virgin Mary, which is said to grant wishes. The members, who were naturally reverent in the solemn yet mysterious atmosphere, had photo time without any mischief, and the sight of the members praying with their individual wishes gave viewers a moment of peace of mind.
