"Welcome, Korea" will feature the Nepali Sherpa boys from "Around the World 4" beginning their dream trip to Korea.
The MBC Every1 variety show Welcome, Korea? (abbreviated "Welcome, Korea"), airing on the 25th, will unfold the story of Nepali boys Rai and Tamang, who carried loads larger than their bodies to make a living.
After the broadcast of MBC's variety show Around the World 4, numerous requests poured in to invite the Nepali Sherpa boys to Welcome. The show's top-secret invitation project to address viewers' passionate pleas is finally revealed. The production team not only arranged for a The Man from Nowhere figure to sponsor Rai and Tamang, but also flew to Nepal to check on the boys' current situations. Who could the reliable helper be who would take responsibility for the Nepali boys' trip to Korea?
The friends the crew met were staying not in the 3,000m alpine zone but in the capital, Kathmandu. August, when filming took place, is Nepal's tourist off-season, so the friends' work had stopped. How were the boys spending their time during the off-season? From where Rai and Tamang stayed to their latest workplaces, the show digs into the boys' current situations in detail.
From the nerve-racking passport issuance to stepping on Korean soil, the Nepali boys, who couldn't stop smiling while preparing for the trip, warmed hearts. MC Kim Jun-hyun also said, "Their laughter never stops," and, with a father's affection, he laughed at Rai and Tamang's very first trip to Korea, which will air Thursday, the 25th, at 8:30 p.m.
