Fly to the Sky's Brian left for the countryside.
On the 23rd, the "The Brian" channel uploaded a video titled "I'm giving up my 300-pyeong Pyeongtaek house and returning to farming."
That day Brian confessed, "There are times when I zone out. My mind goes blank. Don't you have something only you feel? 'What if I die while working like this?' When that thought comes, I need a break around that time. There are times when I feel the need to rest."
He said, "Among the trips I really took alone, I went to the U.K. because of my schedule. I went to a restaurant alone to eat and later to a bar where I was beside complete strangers, so small talk — I thought, this is fun."
After that, Brian headed to Imsil. When asked, "How do you find the village atmosphere?" he said, "I can't help feeling it's nice because fortunately the weather is so good. Look at the sky. It's really blue," expressing satisfaction with the verdant scenery.
When asked, "Please tell us why you came here," he said, "The people behind the camera all found this place for me. Actually, no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find this place. The town I'm in is Imsil. I had never heard of a town called Imsil. I'm an expatriate, right? I asked my expatriate friends too. Before coming here I asked, 'I'm going to Imsil, have you heard of it?' and they said, 'What's Imsil?' or 'Are you pregnant?' Everyone knew nothing about Imsil. I thought I should go see Imsil," he said.
Brian said, "I took time off, time to rest. The countryside feel is different in every country, right? When I first came to Korea as a child, when you say countryside, you think of lots of bugs, strong smells from animal droppings, and just farmland. Even though I came to rest, I felt discomfort rather than a restful feeling. Because I had that thought, I wanted to visit. I needed to know that the countryside places in Korea aren't all like that."
But while walking he met a mountain goat and sneezed repeatedly, saying, "I guess I'm allergic to the countryside.." which drew laughs. Later, to cool off he visited a cafe and said, "If we had started filming at my house, people would suddenly be like, 'Why are there kids in the house?' and be startled. Yesterday my friend said his home's air conditioner has been broken since the other day and the A/S is coming on Tuesday. So he and the kids can't hold out until Tuesday, and he asked me to let them stay one night at my house and one night at his mother's. My energy was gone in about five or 10 minutes," he confessed.
The production team said, "The accommodation we found is the second floor here. This used to be the lodging used by the cafe staff," and Brian, who had high expectations, said, "But why is the writing written backward? Is this the door to my room?" expressing unease about the suspicious entrance.
The production team explained, "Imsil has no accommodations. We struggled to find this. It was staff lodging for six months, but there are no staff now." Sure enough, the house was covered in dust from about a year of no maintenance. Brian said, "Look at the mold inside the air conditioner. The floor hasn't been cleaned at all. This is not rest. This is death," and added, "I don't have to shower today. Look at the dirty slippers. The music is nice."
Having fled to the downtown, he complained, "Coming down today makes me feel taken advantage of again. I should rest, but my room — I'm obsessive about cleanliness and like things spotless, but the room quality is like a minus 100-star hotel." After finishing his meal in town, Brian bought cleaning supplies and returned home. Brian and the production team said, "It should be a bit cooler now. You turned on the air conditioner, right?" but another staff member confessed, "I turned it off when I left?" shocking Brian. Entering the lodging, Brian screamed, "Wow, they really turned it off. It's hotter here than outside," causing laughter.
