The 'icon of iKON', Kim Jun-ho, who became the first to surpass 100 episodes of 'cumulative solo', shows the only 'non-solo' trajectory in Kazakhstan, surprising the 'solo group'.
The 14th episode of Channel S's 'Nidon Naesan Solo Tour 4' (co-produced by Channel S and SK Broadband), airing at 9 p.m. on the 30th, features Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-kyu departing for Kazakhstan, where they will experience local Central Asian cuisine after touring the glacier 'Chimblok'.
On this day, the 'solo group' enters a restaurant in downtown Almaty under Kim Jun-ho's guidance. Kim Jun-ho confidently introduces, "You can taste all the cuisine of Central Asia here." Hong In-kyu then mentions, "There's a dish recommended by a Kazakhstan friend we met earlier at Chimblok ski resort," and orders 'Beshbarmak' (a Kazakh horse meat dish).
Subsequently, the 'solo group' uses the break to begin a game to determine the 'Chimblok Café B' solo. During the intense game, Hong In-kyu expresses jealousy, saying, "Currently, only Jun-ho hyung is non-solo. Is this the power of marriage?" Yoo Se-yoon also remarks, "Honestly, hyung is in a (solo) safe zone," and Kim Dae-hee jokingly adds, "Be a bit more lively like before~."
As interest grows in how long Kim Jun-ho's 'non-solo march' will continue, he raises a toast as the ordered beer and dishes arrive. He cheers, "For the health of our families~," making a remark befitting a 'newlywed'. In response, Hong In-kyu says, "Hyung, congratulations on your marriage!" adding warmth to the moment. Soon after, dishes selected by 'Mukshiki' Kim Jun-ho, including 'fried eggplant', 'Beshbarmak', shashlik (Central Asian lamb skewers), and manti (traditional Turkish dumplings), are lavishly presented, leaving the 'solo group' in awe of the noble dishes of Central Asia they are tasting for the first time.
The highlights of Kim Jun-ho's challenge to the 'non-solo myth' and the identity of the Central Asian noble dishes first tasted by the 'solo group' can be confirmed in the 14th episode of Channel S's 'Nidon Naesan Solo Tour 4', airing at 9 p.m. on the 30th.
