In the 5th episode of the MBC representative variety show 'Around the World in 4 Days' (directed by Kim Ji-woo, hereinafter 'Around the World in 4 Days'), the 'bromance' of the four brothers exploded from camping with a view of Annapurna to their first family photo shoot.
The brothers, who challenged themselves to cook, completed their chaotic meal after experiencing a disaster with kimchi stew. Kian84 showed unexpected skills while washing Himalaya chives pulled from the field, using both hands and surprising everyone with his exceptional hygiene concept, saying, "Do it thoroughly for others!" He then sparked viewers' appetite by eating a 'wild chive wrap' wrapped in five layers in one bite.
Meanwhile, the 'love side dishes' prepared by Lee Si-eon's wife, Seo Ji-seung, became a hot topic. The brothers were amazed by the sincerity of 'Heukseok-dong Hahee-ra', and Lee Si-eon, known as 'Heukseok-dong Choi Soo-jong', couldn't hide his contented smile. In particular, Dex, who praised the dried squid side dish, expressed envy, saying, "I'm jealous of Si-eon hyung."
The bromance chemistry peaked. Lee Si-eon suggested sleeping with Dex, leading to Kian84's jealous remark, "Why don't you want to sleep with me?" which evoked the concept of 'love variety show' reminiscent of 'swinging friendships'. Eventually, Kian84 shocked everyone with his comment, "Anyone can come; I'll handle it all!"
Later, during the campfire, their brotherly affection exploded. The playful interactions without regard for age made the viewers feel warm. Then, Dex said, "Now I want to spend a night in a nice accommodation," hinting at their next destination.
Additionally, the heated discussion about the core season became a topic of interest. In particular, a viewer poll conducted on the 'Around the World in 4 Days BASS' YouTube channel drew participation from as many as 100,000 people, adding to the fervor. As a result, Season 2's India episode topped the core season with about 70% of the votes, proving its popularity. Meanwhile, the music trip recorded the lowest score, and Kian84 humorously remarked, "My mom told me not to do music."
After arriving at the villa prepared by Dex, Lee Si-eon ordered room service over the phone in clumsy English, and Kian84 teased him, saying, "Hyung, your English is good," sending everyone into laughter.
After enjoying a swim, they continued with a special meal reminiscent of 'the paradise'. Kian84, shivering in the cold while cuddling with a bottle, confessed, "Your body was warm," to which the bottle replied, "I instinctively cuddled (?),' making the scene burst into laughter.
Later, the brothers dressed in traditional Nepali attire transformed into 'Nepal F4' and conducted a photo shoot at a local photo studio, satisfied with the ridiculous results of their family photo featuring a comical 'ne pal' pose, adding another cherished memory.
The broadcast of the day left a deep impression on viewers as the close bromance of the four brothers reached its peak. Particularly during their last night with Dex, the scene of their first family photo shoot to commemorate their complete trip achieved a peak rating of 5.2% per minute, proving the high interest of viewers in their story. According to Nielsen Korea, the household rating in the metropolitan area recorded 4.7%.
