MBC's 'Save Me! Holmes' Explores Winter Survival in Remote Village

On Thursday, the 19th, MBC's 'Save Me! Holmes' (hereafter 'Holmes') continues its winter special, venturing into a remote village to explore how residents endure extreme cold.

In this episode, 'Nature Man' Kim Dae-ho, 'Dongducheon Genius' Yang Se-hyung & Yang Se-chan, and 'Paper Doll' Ahn Jae-hyun travel to a secluded village in Jeongseon, Gangwon Province. This village, known as the 'Land of Seclusion,' is so remote that even cell phone signals can't reach it. The team embarks on an 'all-senses exploration' to experience firsthand how the villagers survive the harsh winter.

Before the main exploration, an unexpected arm-wrestling debate unfolds in the studio. Ahn Jae-hyun, who lost an arm-wrestling match to Joo Woo-jae in a previous appearance, accepts Kim Sook's surprise challenge. Born in 1987 and recently divorced, Ahn jokingly warns, "Are you sure you're okay, noona?" causing a stir in the studio. All eyes are on whether Kim Sook can showcase her 'Sook Crush' against the newly dubbed 'Weakling' Ahn Jae-hyun.

Ahn Jae-hyun and Yang Se-chan continue their exploration of the village's first house. Amidst the time-worn items, they discover video tapes and a CRT TV, sparking nostalgia. While watching a video tape, an unexpected scene causes Ahn Jae-hyun to fall over in surprise, leading to laughter. The surprising scene will be revealed during the broadcast.

The duo then begins preparing lunch as part of their living experience. Yang Se-chan confidently claims, "I'm faster than I thought," as he busily handles everything from prepping ingredients to chopping wood. Meanwhile, Ahn Jae-hyun, tasked with fetching water, is notably absent for a while. Viewers are eager to see if they can successfully prepare lunch.

The second part of 'Holmes' Gangwon Province winter exploration airs on Thursday, the 19th, at 10 PM.
