Rain's Hilarious Age Reveal and Wrestling Antics on 'Crazy Tour'

Singer Rain, married to actress Kim Tae-hee, humorously asserted his seniority by declaring, "I'm 44 years old," during the 'Crazy Tour'.

The 8th episode of ENA's variety show 'Crazy Tour', aired on the 18th, featured the last free time in Istanbul and the 8th crazy mission in the new destination, Fethiye. The Crazy 4 Men enjoyed their final moments in their own ways. Rain, Kim Moo-yeol, and Lee Seung-hoon visited Istanbul's iconic Blue Mosque. The members were in awe of the mystical space adorned with thousands of blue tiles, majestic domes, and light-filled stained glass, exclaiming, "Unbelievable," and "Overwhelming."

Meanwhile, Pani Bottle, obsessed with home interiors, headed to the Grand Bazaar again. However, he was shocked by the unexpected high prices of the colorful Turkish lights that caught his attention. Eventually, he settled for a relatively affordable "18th-century Ottoman style" lamp recommended by a shop employee, but the bargaining was an issue. When the employee readily accepted his ambitious offer, he realized something was amiss, missing the bargaining prowess of Kwak Tube, which brought laughter.

After completing two crazy missions in Istanbul, the members moved to Fethiye, a Mediterranean paradise and one of the world's top three paragliding spots, for their next journey. On the first day in Fethiye, they were impressed by the luxurious accommodation with a pool and sauna booked by Kim Moo-yeol. However, unexpected rain granted them free time, and Rain couldn't resist starting a game. Little did he know that his proposal for a mockery contest would backfire. Younger members Lee Seung-hoon and Pani Bottle unleashed a barrage of jokes on Rain, who eventually pleaded, "I'm hospitalized, stop hitting me."

On the day of the 8th mission, as they admired the emerald beauty of Ölüdeniz Beach, four formidable Turkish oil wrestling athletes appeared. As soon as the members arrived, the athletes demonstrated an oil wrestling match. The members were stunned by the bold technique of applying oil all over their bodies and reaching deep into their pants to overpower opponents. The process of wearing the special oil wrestling pants, Kispet, made of stiff and thick cowhide, was a challenge, with screams echoing as they struggled to fit their legs in. Kim Moo-yeol remarked, "It's like armor," while Pani Bottle couldn't hide his bewilderment, saying, "I've never worn anything like this in my life."

After much struggle, Rain, upon learning that champion Dawut had 25 years of experience and was 35 years old, humorously asserted his seniority by saying, "I'm 44 years old," easing the tense atmosphere with his playful elder brother vibe. The two fair-skinned younger members quickly turned the mood into laughter. Before the main match, they learned various techniques like grabbing the pants and lifting, reaching inside the pants to grab and throw, and lifting between the legs, creating scenes reminiscent of uncles playfully teasing their nephews, Pani Bottle and Lee Seung-hoon.

Finally, the eagerly awaited match began. In the first round, Lee Seung-hoon received a warning for dirty play like pinching, while Pani Bottle won with a surprise leg attack, proving his "small giant" strength. The second round was a pride battle between fitness enthusiast Rain and Kim Moo-yeol. Rain, facing a crisis from Kim Moo-yeol's aggressive headlock attack, turned the tables with a burst of strength, slamming Kim Moo-yeol down. The highlight was undoubtedly the match between Rain and Dawut. Despite facing the champion, Rain showed relentless determination, engaging in a close battle, but ultimately lost due to exhaustion from consecutive matches. However, his fighting spirit, even in humiliating positions, earned applause from the local wrestlers.
