Gong Myoung, the lovable youngest, appears as a guest on tvN 'Badaljip' after about four years.
tvN 'House on Wheels - Beyond the Ocean: Hokkaido edition' (directed by Shin Chan-yang, Kim A-rim, hereafter "Badaljip") is based on the concept of traveling with your own home, telling the new adventure of the "House On Wheels," which spent the four seasons across Korea, as it crosses the sea to the world. After the return of long-running hosts Seong Dong-il and Kim Hee-won after three years, the program has earned praise for fresh, harmless laughter with the addition of the first female homeowner Jang Na-ra.
In episode 3, which airs today (26th) at 7:40 p.m., the "three siblings" Seong Dong-il, Kim Hee-won and Jang Na-ra leave Shimonoseki, their first front yard, and after driving about 1,830 km enter the long-awaited Hokkaido. In addition to abundant seasonal seafood, the vast nature of Hokkaido and its bountiful food — including luscious fruits picked from the orchard in our front yard — are expected to capture attention. Adding to expectations, Gong Myoung, who was loved as the adorable youngest on "Badaljip 3," joins as a guest.
In particular, the reactions of the three siblings Seong Dong-il, Kim Hee-won and Jang Na-ra to Gong Myoung heighten interest. At the time of "Badaljip 3," Gong Myoung enlisted in the military soon after filming. Seong Dong-il gives a thumbs up to Gong Myoung, whom he meets for the first time since discharge, saying, "You came back really cool. You feel like a complete man now." Jang Na-ra, overwhelmed by Gong Myoung's 183 cm height, activates her 'shrinking mode' to add laughter. Surrounded by Seong Dong-il, Kim Hee-won and Gong Myoung, Jang Na-ra suddenly says, "When I walk 20 steps, Myoung only needs 12 steps, right?" provoking bursts of laughter with her quirky self-objectification.
Gong Myoung praises Jang Na-ra, whom he met for the first time, saying, "Senior, you are really small and cute," reactivating his charming youngest appeal. But soon he says, "I'm a little jealous. I'm the guest," expressing slight disappointment to Seong Dong-il and Kim Hee-won for bringing in a new family member, which triggers laughter. As the talk session that lets them unwind unfolds, Gong Myoung suddenly throws a blunt question at Jang Na-ra, "Senior, why did you say you were doing 'Badaljip'?" heating up the scene, according to reports.
Meanwhile, "Chef Seong" Seong Dong-il leads the family to an urchin market where they can taste Hokkaido's seasonal wild sea urchin roe, saying, "Today I'll make you eat until your bellies burst." After marveling at the feast of fresh ingredients from seafood to wagyu, everyone is shocked by the unexpected price of the sea urchin roe and wagyu. Moreover, Seong Dong-il, who was preparing a specialty dish called "rice bowl topped generously with sea urchin roe" using ingredients shipped directly from the production area, faces an unforeseen sudden situation. Attention is on whether Gong Myoung, who has been eagerly awaiting a home-cooked meal after about four years, will be able to safely taste Chef Seong's sea urchin special.
Also drawing attention is the released "behind-the-housewarming" video in which Seong Dong-il, Kim Hee-won and Jang Na-ra share behind-the-scenes talk from "Badaljip." In the video, the three siblings convey the charm of "Badaljip" as they sincerely answer a variety of questions, from "resolving viewers' curiosities" to the "travel balance game," with playful banter and pleasant chemistry. In particular, Seong Dong-il hints, "Having flaws is Na-ra's charm. Those flaws show throughout the trip and it's really fun. Na-ra becomes more and more a person of nature," raising expectations for the broadcast.
