Kian84, who claimed the grand award at the '2023 MBC Entertainment Awards' as the first non-celebrity, is presenting the final season of 'Around the World in 4 Days'. It marks a unique return to the epic journey of the 'Chama-godo'.
The first journey of Kian84, who is searching for people living at the mountain top along the legendary trail 'Chama-godo', will be unveiled in the representative entertainment program from MBC, 'Born to be Around the World 4' (hereafter 'Around the World in 4 Days', directed by Kim Ji-woo), which will premiere at 9:10 p.m. on May 11 (Sunday).
This broadcast will showcase Kian84's high-altitude journey to Nepal's highest peak, Mount Everest, driven by the curiosity of what life is like for those living at the highest place. He plans to travel to 'Lukla', the starting point of Everest, to find the 'Sherpa' who he had seen in a documentary during his childhood, embarking on a climb without any preparation.
Upon arriving in Lukla, Kian84 is overwhelmed by the scenery of the high mountain village, where only people and animals pass without a car, and cannot contain his admiration for the pristine snow-capped mountains, signaling an extraordinary journey that transcends the boundaries of documentary and entertainment.

However, the excitement is short-lived as Kian84 begins his serious search for the Sherpas, climbing mountains spanning dozens of kilometers, tackling endless uphill and unpaved paths, hinting at an unprecedentedly tough journey. In particular, exhausted from the steep high-altitude terrain, Kian84 remarks, "It seems like running a full marathon is easier," leaving one to ponder the extremes of his journey.
Moreover, he reveals, "It has been a month since filming ended, and my body still hasn't recovered," indicating that it is the largest scale and the most challenging expedition in 'Around the World' history. It remains to be seen whether Kian84 will meet the 'people on the mountaintop' he longed to meet and what the Himalayas will look like for him when the broadcast airs.
Meanwhile, the members who previewed Kian84's journey shared their admiration, stating, "This is a trip that only Kian84 could make," and "This season has an unprecedented scale," continuously expressing their awe, increasing the anticipation.
Thus, Kian84's 'Chama-godo' journey, which transcends human limits, can be confirmed in the first broadcast of MBC's 'Around the World in 4 Days' at 9:10 p.m. on May 11.
