ENA's "Even if you're bad with directions" released a fourth teaser video full of trot crown prince Park Ji-hyeon's surprising charm. Known for his flawless stage manners that earned fans' love, he this time reveals the human Park Ji-hyeon who becomes "bad with directions" on unfamiliar streets, evoking both laughter and empathy.
ENA's "Even if you're bad with directions" (directed by Gong Dae-han) is an entertainment program in which directionally challenged celebrities who are all over the place take on trips custom-designed by creators. For travelers who are clumsy at travel, find planning bothersome, and short on time but still want to go away, customized theme tours are prepared.
The video released today (8th) begins when Park Ji-hyeon's phone, which he was leisurely carrying while walking down a quiet afternoon street, receives a message saying, "Come to the pre-meeting place for the 'Bad Directions Club entry mission.'" He even snorted, expressing confidence that this wasn't even a mission, but that confident stride did not last long.
As the scenery changed, the place he arrived at was the middle of a road in an unfamiliar country, an unfamiliar rural village. In front of an unfamiliar road, he looks around and scratches his head; the confident look is gone and only bewilderment shows on his face. Later, even in bustling tourist spots he still appears confused as if lost. The gaze searching the surroundings because he doesn't know where to go and the expression combining confusion and cuteness provoke bursts of laughter.
At another location, he reaches a railroad crossing and ultimately comes to a standstill in the middle of the road. It is the moment when the program's phrase "a journey seen through the eyes of someone bad with directions" naturally overlaps. Moreover, in the heart of a very famous Taiwanese tourist spot under dazzling lights—where he once dominated the stage—the trot crown prince is nowhere to be found; instead, only the 100% "bad-with-directions Park Ji-hyeon," ruffling his hair and muttering "Where is this again," remains. On an unfamiliar road he transforms into a more human travel novice than anyone, arousing interest and raising curiosity about how his journey will unfold.
This video signals the full-fledged journey of the "Bad Directions Club." The point is the real, surprising charm created when stars who seemed like they would be perfect blunder around in unfamiliar destinations. In particular, Park Ji-hyeon's sincere and unpretentious reactions deliver a cheerful energy that fits perfectly with the title "a show where it's okay to get lost."
The production team said, "The fourth teaser captures the moment Park Ji-hyeon begins his journey as he takes on a solo travel mission for the first time," adding, "His honest reactions and clumsiness compress the charm of 'Even if you're bad with directions.' We plan to show that he is more lovable and human when he is not perfect at travel, so please look forward to it."
"Even if you're bad with directions" will premiere on ENA at 7:50 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18.
