Finally, today (22nd), ENA "Earth Monopoly World Travel 3" (hereinafter "Earth Monopoly 3") takes its first step. This season features a telepathy journey unfolding in Mokpo, the city of flavors, promising a fun experience that stimulates all five senses.
Season 3 showcases an even more expansive scale. Above all, it is generating expectations as it opens with domestic travel, which is a long-held wish of viewers. During the production presentation held on the 20th, Producer Kim Hoon-beom noted, "The starting point of season 3 is Mokpo. We will be able to show the domestic travel style of 'Gwakppa Won' (Pani Bottle, Wonji, Gwak Tube)." The fact that this is a trip to Mokpo, one of the renowned cities of flavor in the country, amid fresh changes that have not been seen in 'Earth Monopoly' is already stimulating the taste buds.
'Gwakppa Won', who has left for Mokpo, is already engaged in teamwork testing in their third season together. The mission that took everyone by surprise is the "Mokpo telepathy journey." This mission requires the three to choose one of the nine representative dishes of Mokpo, meeting simultaneously at the same restaurant to succeed. This is an opportunity to see 'Gwakppa Won's' distinctive culinary preferences, selected after collecting various data such as local recommendations and social media popularity from Mokpo's nine culinary delights.
In particular, as it allows for confirmation of the team's cooperation, whether their telepathy will work is a key point of interest in the first episode. The first episode's preview video captured 'Gwakppa Won' trying hard to communicate their chosen destinations to each other, eliciting laughter. While Gwak Tube enthusiastically sends signals after choosing 'Deokja', Pani Bottle is solely focused on 'Junggan' and dismissing his signals. With the probability of success increasing only if they accurately grasp each other's preferences, it raises curiosity about what outcome will result from their fierce mind games surrounding the "Mokpo 9 Delicacies."
During the production presentation, Gwak Tube said, "This season 3 will start with confirming our chemistry as a trio. We thought we would work well together since we are so close, but that was not the case," increasing curiosity about the telepathy mission's outcome. With 'Gwakppa Won's' telepathy already shaky from the start, it remains to be seen if they can succeed within just three opportunities. At the end of the preview video, it remains a mystery who will open the restaurant door based on Gwak Tube's telepathy, suggesting that today's (22nd) highly anticipated first episode will offer various enjoyable points for viewers to share in their journey.
The production team remarked, "Viewers have finally been able to meet the long-awaited domestic travel. We look forward to seeing if 'Gwakppa Won' can successfully complete the first mission, and what differentiated taste of travel Season 3 has prepared for viewers." They added, "Not only the 'Mokpo 9 Delicacies,' but we have also thoroughly included 'Gwakppa Won's' free travel in Mokpo. We have prepared a wealth of sights and food, so please spend your weekend evening with their journey, which will be coming to your living rooms today (22nd)."
