Ahn Jung-hwan "I think it will be difficult for Kim Seong-ju and Jung Hyung-don to get back together."
On the 7th, the production presentation of JTBC's new entertainment show 'Backpacking, not a package - Clumpy Returns' (hereinafter referred to as 'clumpy Returns') was broadcast live online. PD Kim Jin, Kim Yong-man, Kim Seong-ju, Ahn Jung-hwan, and Jeong Hyeong-don attended the event.
'Couple Returns' is a program where the 'Couple Four' Kim Yong-man, Kim Seong-ju, Ahn Jung-hwan, and Jeong Hyeong-don, who return after 7 years, go on a backpacking trip rather than a package. It contains the ups and downs of the real travel stories of those who transformed from professional packers to novice backpackers. .
Producer Kim Jin said, "As travel restrictions began to be lifted, didn't each broadcasting station launch a travel entertainment show? People around me asked me why I didn't do 'Understand to Float' again and whether I had any plans to do it again, so I started to worry. What do people who have been passively traveling all the time do? “I started thinking about whether it would be good to go on a trip, and I was curious about what kind of chemistry there would be if I planned my own trip and traveled actively,” he said.
Producer Kim Jin chose ‘empathy’ and ‘popularity’ as the differentiating factors of ‘Uncluttered Returns’. As for competitors, he said, “I think we have to surpass season 1.”
How do you feel about going on a trip for the first time in 7 years? PD Kim said, “I realized that he was older than he was 7 years ago. It was sad to see him so tired.” Kim Seong-ju also said, "The person who opposed it the most was Ahn Jung-hwan. He said that all my brothers would die. He was right. I went there with the feeling that it would be my last time, wondering if I would ever get another chance like this in my life. It's been a month since I went, and I'm still not getting used to the time difference. “I still wake up at 2 or 4 a.m. But unlike the package, there are more things I remember,” he added.
Regarding the reason for his opposition, Ahn Jung-hwan said, "I was against it because I thought that if we went this time, everything would be broken, everything would fall apart. In the end, it fell apart. I think it will be difficult to get back together unless we do season 3. Backpacking isn't easy." I complained. Jung Hyung-don also sympathized, saying, "I think the feelings of the older brothers' line and the younger members' line are different. The perfect way to break a good relationship is through free travel."
