Channel S ‘Nidon Naesan Dokbak Tour 4’
Kim Jun-ho falls into shock after hearing the ‘brutal truth’ from Kim Ji-min.
In episode 45 of Channel S ‘Nidon Naesan Dokbak Tour 4’ (co-produced by Channel S and SK Broadband), which aired on the 11th, Kim Dae-hee x Kim Jun-ho x Jang Dong-min x Yoo Se-yoon x Hong In-gyu set off on a domestic trip to Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, and spent a day conquering local hot eateries, hidden spots, and a morning run together with ‘travel buddy’ Kang Jae-jun. In particular, they ran across Chuncheon Bridge, the ‘mecca of running’, and warmed hearts by expressing hopes for a baby for ‘newlywed’ Kim Jun-ho.
Earlier, after enjoying speed with kart racing, the ‘Dokbakz’ headed to travel buddy Kang Jae-jun’s long-time regular spot. Kang said, “A teppan-style dak-galbi place I often went to during my school days,” and guided everyone to a restaurant boasting 38 years of tradition. He then explained, “Chuncheon dak-galbi, unlike other regions, has plump ‘udon add-ins’. Even after a long stir-fry, they do not get mushy!” Then, starting with dak-galbi, they ordered chicken offal and fried rice and achieved an ‘all-kill’. After a satisfying meal, they decided to pick who would cover the bill with a wife text message game. Each sent a text to his wife that read, “What is one thing you really want me to fix from now on?” and if it matched the answer he had written in advance, he was exempt from footing the bill. Hong In-gyu turned on a mode of reflection, saying, “I have done so many things wrong to my wife that it is hard to choose,” and after much thought wrote, “That I come home more often.”

Meanwhile, the wives’ replies arrived. Hong In-gyu received, “Please, get a haircut!” and was disappointed. Kim Jun-ho likewise was shocked by a ‘truth bomb’-level reply from his wife Kim Ji-min: “I want to live without seeing your loud smacking when you eat and the calluses on the soles of your feet. Ah, number one is snoring!” Jang Dong-min joked, “At that level, does she just dislike the person himself?” and Kim Jun-ho sighed, “We got married last year; are we already in a rut?” Kim Dae-hee hung his head after a reply from his wife that said, “Giggling to yourself while watching Shorts.” Jang Dong-min nodded at the request, “Please pay attention to organizing clothes.” Yoo Se-yoon got, “Turning off the lights properly,” and Kang Jae-jun cracked everyone up with the shocking reply, “You need to be born again.” In the end, no one got the answer right, so they held a rematch with a spoon-flip game, and Kim Jun-ho, who came in last, paid for the meal.
Next, Kang Jae-jun said, “Let us go for dessert. We will go to a place that sells hamburgers, and you can also eat jjamppong ramen. It is also a favorite of actor Ha Jung-woo,” and drove them there. At this restaurant famous for the unusual style of pairing old-school handmade hamburgers with soju, Kang ordered a handmade hamburger, jjamppong ramen, and soju. Everyone delivered an admiring mukbang at the novel combo, and after the meal Kim Jun-ho proposed, “Let us play a bill game related to hamburgers.” Each chose a number from 1 to 6, then called actor Park Hyo-jun, whose nickname is ‘Burger Hyung’, to ask him to “Pick a number that comes to mind.” In this game, Yoo Se-yoon, whose chosen number remained uncalled until the very end, became the one stuck with the bill, and the members cheered, “As expected, Se-yoon is weak on domestic tours~”

Having neatly cleared dessert, they went to the first-night lodging that Kang had booked. Kang showed off, saying, “Downtown is nice, but I picked a place where you can enjoy both a ‘lake view’ and a ‘mountain view’ in nature.” Delighted with the luxurious vibe, the members grinned, “Jae-jun, we like you!” They then split into teams of three-on-three and played a penalty-kick game using tangerines. As a result, Kim Jun-ho became the one stuck with the bill and paid lodging costs of $458 (610,000 KRW). Riding the momentum, they threw a toy Spider-Man at the window for a room assignment game, where Jang Dong-min lost, instantly becoming ‘2-dok’, and locked in a night in the living room.
The next morning, the ‘Dokbakz’ and Kang Jae-jun gathered in front of the lodging for a morning run. At this point, Kang asked, “Did everyone sleep well?” then shook his head, saying, “I thought someone was doing interior work on the second floor last night. The snoring from Jun-ho upstairs was incredibly loud.” Kim Jun-ho said, “Is that why Ji-min dislikes me? I heard exercise improves snoring, so I need to run hard today,” showing determination. They immediately started a 3 km run at a famous marathon spot in Chuncheon, the ‘mecca of running’. In minus 16 degrees, Kim Jun-ho groaned, “My hands are already cold,” and Kang encouraged him, “To fix your snoring, you need to lose weight through running.” Hong In-gyu also cheered for Kim Jun-ho to finish, shouting, “Let us have a baby! Kim Jun-ho!” Thanks to support from the members, Kim Jun-ho completed the run and defended the pride of ‘Run Gwaenchanha’ (the ‘Dokbakz’ running crew name).
The travel story of the ‘Dokbakz’ and ‘travel buddy’ Kang Jae-jun, who are savoring the romance of Chuncheon in Gangwon-do, will continue in episode 46 of Channel S ‘Nidon Naesan Dokbak Tour 4’, airing at 9 p.m. on the 18th (Sat).
