Broadcaster Kian84 will take on France’s Medoc Marathon after cosplaying as a marine creature.
In episode 3 of MBC ‘Extreme 84’ (directed by Park Su-bin·Kim Ki-ho·Jeong Ji-woon), airing at 9:10 p.m. on the 14th, Kian84 is shown embarking on a special running lesson with new crew members to compete in France’s ‘Medoc Marathon’.
The broadcast hints at a rocky lesson from the start with the arrival of a ‘high-energy’ new crew member. Kian84 is flustered as he fails to adapt to the newbie’s sudden role-play attempts and breaks into a sweat at the nonstop spontaneous antics. However, contrary to Kian84’s reaction, the newcomer’s energy reportedly warmed up the atmosphere on set in no time.
Even amid the confusion, Kian84 methodically leads from basic posture correction to step-by-step practical training, showing the reliability of a crew leader. He advises the running novice on how to control pace and encourages them, and with another newcomer, he raises the stakes with more demanding interval training to stoke competitive spirit. In particular, this newcomer’s outstanding speed and concentration put Kian84 on edge, heightening anticipation.
After training, the Extreme Crew heads to France, where the marathon is held. After regrouping at their lodging, the crew begins full-fledged ‘cosplay’ preparations, transforming into distinctive marine creatures that elicit laughs.
Meanwhile, news that race-day temperatures could rise to 31 degrees raises concern. With the combination of hot weather and cosplay outfits potentially taxing their stamina, unexpected variables emerge once they start a test run. The once-passionate newcomer wavers, saying, “Do I have to give up on finishing?”, adding to curiosity about how they will overcome the crisis.
Amid a string of unpredictable situations, the Extreme Crew’s first journey of taking on France’s Medoc Marathon after transforming into marine creatures can be seen in episode 3 of ‘Extreme 84’, airing at 9:10 p.m. that night.
