Gongmyeong, skydiving from 15,000 feet

Actor Gong Myung was recognized as the best travel partner.

Gongmyeong is appearing as Panibottle's travel partner in ENA's 'Earth Mabul World Travel 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Earth Mabul 2'), an entertainment program where people take part in a realistic version of the Bulmabul game designed by producer Kim Tae-ho and travel the world while leaving their fate in the hands of the dice. . He chose 'Earth, Demon and Fire 2' as his first entertainment program after being discharged from the military, and appeared as a photographer.

Gongmyeong, who threw the dice and went on a trip to Ethiopia with Panibottle, then traveled for 14 hours by light plane and car to meet the Suri tribe. As soon as he met the tribesmen, he joined them in the 'Suri Moon Knight Dance' and got along with them right away.

In particular, the sight of Gong Myung eating cow blood, which is recognized as a special food by the Suri tribe, without hesitation surprised not only Pani Bottle, but also Kwak Tube and Wonji. Noh Hong-cheol applauded, saying that he was impressed by the traveler's spirit of actively working to respect the tribe's unique culture.

Gongmyeong’s spirit of challenge continued. Arriving at the next destination, Lagos, Portugal, he jumped without hesitation from 15,000 feet. Gong Myung, who succeeded in skydiving for the first time in his life, received cheers from those who enjoyed the thrill of free fall.

Meanwhile, Gong Myung's consideration as a travel partner also attracted attention. Panibottle praised Gong Myung for not losing a positive mind even in difficult situations, saying, “I think this is the first time I’ve seen someone so dissatisfied.” Joo Woo-jae also admired this, saying, “People themselves are very sponge-like.”

In this way, Gongmyeong's challenging and considerate side was enough to be recognized as the best travel partner by the 'three major travel creators', Kwak Tube, Pani Bottle, and Oneji. Viewers also gave favorable reviews, such as "Recruiting Gong Myung was a godsend," "Gong Myung's personality is truly great to travel with," and "Gong Myung and Pani Bottle Ethiopia and Portugal are both legends."

Meanwhile, 'Earth Demon Fire 2' starring Gong Myung is broadcast every Saturday at 7:50 PM on ENA.
