'Battle Trip 2' introduced a trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the ultimate in glamour.

KBS 2TV's 'Battle Trip 2', which aired on the 7th, was 'Midwinter's Summer! Under the theme of 'bucket list-busting travel', Heo Kyung-hwan and Kim Yong-jun teamed up with 'Heo Jun Tour' to present a trip to Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. The broadcast on this day rose to the highest viewer rating per minute of 3.0%, according to Nielsen Korea, a viewership rating research company.

On this day's broadcast, dancer Aiki joined as the new MC, bringing even more fresh energy. Aiki said, "I previously appeared as a travel planner, but once I won, I got the taste of it. At that time, I gained a lot of travel tips, so I came here to share them with you all."

Before releasing the video, Yongjun Kim said, “I can explain the keywords with 50th floor swimming pool, Spiderman, and supercar.” After arriving in Dubai, Heo Kyung-hwan and Kim Yong-jun immediately visited the '360-degree infinity pool' and enjoyed swimming in the world's highest swimming pool and even watched the sunrise.

Heo Gyeong-hwan and Kim Yong-jun started their trip in earnest wearing the traditional UAE costume, kandura. The two visited a traditional local restaurant to savor local cuisine and showed off a unique eating show by eating with their hands in keeping with the tradition.

After the meal, Heo Gyeong-hwan and Kim Yong-jun experienced activities in the city. After experiencing the world's longest 1km zipline, they went for a ride on a boat that looked like a supercar. The two drove the boat themselves and enjoyed driving across the sea.

The next location was the future city downtown. The two enjoyed the world's top 3 fountain shows at a famous spot right in front of them, and ended their special day by drinking cold beer.

The next day, Heo Kyung-hwan and Kim Yong-jun headed to Abu Dhabi. After tasting gold coffee and camel milk ice cream at a luxurious hotel decorated with gorgeous pure gold, the two moved to the zoo where they could have a meal. They were surprised to see a leopard right in front of them while eating in a cave at the zoo.

After the meal, we moved to the world's most spectacular circuit, 'Yas Marina Circuit'. Heo Gyeong-hwan and Kim Yong-jun enjoyed their own battle and ended their trip by enjoying food at a local restaurant.
