Rain Faces Culinary Challenge on 'Crazy Tour': A Taste of Turkey's Lamb Delicacies

Rain, the husband of Kim Tae-hee, faced a culinary challenge that left him in shock. He described the experience as "feeling the essence burst" after tasting lamb eyeballs.

On the November 11th episode of ENA's 'Crazy Tour,' the 'Crazy 4Men' embarked on a journey to conquer the unique flavors of Turkey, one of the world's top three culinary destinations. After a thrilling crane bungee jump, the group, led by Rain, dressed in traditional costumes for a photo shoot at Istanbul's 'Bazaar.' Rain, embodying a 'Sultan,' along with Kim Moo-yeol as an ice cream vendor, Pani Bottle as a servant warrior, and Lee Seung-hoon as a beautiful princess, received applause and camera flashes from the market vendors. Despite feeling shy, Rain showcased his acting skills in an impromptu skit with Pani Bottle, bringing laughter to the scene.

The group then headed to a studio adorned with Ottoman-era thrones, lamps, and carpets to capture memorable photos. Immersed in their roles, they created the first 'Crazy Family Photo' from the East. Lee Seung-hoon, treated like a princess, received endless shutter clicks from the photographer, while Pani Bottle humorously released his pent-up frustration from his 'servant' role. Pani Bottle's playful jealousy towards Lee Seung-hoon's fitting princess look added to the laughter.

The costume parade ended with a signature 'Crazy' bet. Kim Moo-yeol lost and had to wear the ice cream vendor outfit with a beard for a day. The next morning, Lee Seung-hoon's meticulous brush strokes completed Kim Moo-yeol's transformation, much to Rain's amusement, enhancing the fun of their friendship.

The seventh 'Crazy Mission' was unveiled as a full course of Turkish lamb dishes. The first dish, resembling a lamb's reproductive organ, shocked the members. However, they enjoyed it after learning it was a dish made from lamb's stomach with rice, onions, and spices. The 'lamb brain' soup, rich in collagen, was particularly enjoyed by Kim Moo-yeol. The members joked about the challenge, unaware of the impending 'verbal disaster.'

The mission wasn't over until the 'lamb head' roast appeared. The whole lamb head, roasted with visible eyes, nose, and mouth, left even the fearless Kim Moo-yeol speechless. Rain and Lee Seung-hoon, having lost a bet, tried the lamb eyeballs. Rain described the experience as "feeling the essence of a lamb burst," quickly adding spices to overcome the intense flavor. Lee Seung-hoon, after swallowing the eyeball, described it as a "memory-erasing shock." Meanwhile, Kim Moo-yeol, showcasing his 'villain force,' enjoyed the lamb tongue and brain, proving his 'ultimate crazy' status. The members completed the lamb head course without any dropouts, earning their badges.

To unwind, the group visited a traditional Turkish barbershop, where Pani Bottle faced another ordeal. After a neat haircut, he screamed during a nose hair waxing session, followed by an ear candle treatment and a fiery show, and a menthol mask that covered his face. Despite the torturous process, Pani Bottle emerged as a 'Turkish hot guy,' earning praise from the members and marking the highlight of their Istanbul journey.

Next week's episode will take the group to 'Fethiye,' a Mediterranean gem known for its emerald sea and one of the world's top three paragliding spots. However, the anticipated 'oil wrestling' awaits, with Rain facing humiliation against local wrestlers and a chaotic match between Pani Bottle and Lee Seung-hoon. The showdown between Rain and Kim Moo-yeol, both vying for the title of 'muscle pride,' promises an exciting climax.
