ENA 'World Dice Tour 3' (hereinafter 'World Dice Tour 3') will air a 'director's cut' today (5th) to continue enjoying the lingering feelings even after the travel has ended. Each part featuring travel creators Pani Bottle, Won Ji, and Kwak Tube will reveal additional unpublished episodes that were not included in the main broadcast to soothe the fans' regrets. Ahead of the 'director's cut' broadcast, we revisited the significance of 'World Dice Tour 3.'
#. The world becomes a theme park, achieving the season's highest 1-minute viewership rating with the unique worldview of 'World Dice Tour 3!'
This season 3 prominently featured the concept of 'enjoying the entire world like a theme park', showcasing the evolution of travel entertainment. While maintaining the existing board game-style dice travel structure, it presented differentiated fun with various themed attractions like 'Food Festa,' 'Amazing Kingdom,' and 'Crazy World.' In particular, Kwak Tube and Lee Jang Woo achieved remarkable food challenges, clearing 24 different foods in a day during the 'Food Festa' episode in Hong Kong and Macau, creating an overwhelming gourmet tour that is hard for anyone to follow. Additionally, in the 'Crazy World' episode with Pani Bottle and Shin Seung Ho, they provided thrilling theme park sights with the Brazil Giant Waterfall swing, recording a peak viewership rating of 3.1% per minute and capturing the 'best 1-minute' of the entire season (according to Nielsen Korea).
#. The unpredictable chemistry created by an unprecedented partner combination, and the growth of 'Kwak Pawan.'
'World Dice Tour 3' featured a diverse lineup of travelers including Jung Jae Hyung, Cha Joo Young, and Lee Jang Woo, the legendary trio from '1 Night 2 Days' Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Jong Min, Lee Joon, and three notable fans who became participants, Gabee, Fabri, and Shin Seung Ho, creating unprecedented partner combinations that sparked interest. Partners unfamiliar with travel entertainment shared unexpected situations together with 'Kwak Pawan,' which led to laughter and also stirred emotional waves. Among this, the transformation of 'Kwak Pawan' was notable. Pani Bottle not only recognized travel partners but also confidently led the journey with activities tailored to each partner's traits, while the introverted Won Ji showcased upgraded social skills and chemistry by approaching unfamiliar partners first. Kwak Tube maintained the travel atmosphere with his characteristic flexibility and humor even in unexpected situations. The journey, which was more real, thrilling, and exciting, resulted in significant growth for 'Kwak Pawan.'
#. Director's cut, the 'true final' of 'World Dice Tour 3.'
The special broadcast 'World Dice Tour 3: Director's Cut', which airs today (5th), will for the first time reveal the behind-the-scenes stories of 'Kwak Pawan's' travels that have not been aired before. From Australia to Mauritius, Pani Bottle's mysterious animal encyclopedia that is not yet finished, the Titicaca Lake tour with Won Ji and Fabri, the chemistry of Kwak Tube and 'Dr. Jjep Jjep' Lee Jang Woo, as well as Gabee's surprising behind-the-scenes footage from Toronto airport shopping, will be generously included. The production team noted, "The 'Director's Cut' is a final gift for the viewers who loved 'World Dice Tour 3,'" adding, "We hope this will be a time to share the lingering feelings of a journey that has not really ended."
