The group NCT WISH meets Mongolian nomad children and offers harmless healing.
Reaction to Mnet Plus original travel variety 'On the Map' (chief producer Lee Han-hyung, director Lee Seon-young, Ham Ga-hyung) is hot. Traveling the world and taking on hidden challenges everywhere, and through this completing a single map, the K-pop idol global adventure 'On the Map' received praise immediately after its initial release on the 20th, and made a strong start, entering the top ranks of South Korea's real-time trends on X (formerly Twitter).
Meanwhile, in episode 2, released today (the 27th), NCT WISH (Sion, Riku, Yuushi, Jaehee, Ryo, Sakuya) visits a ger after being invited by a nomadic family. The warm moment is short-lived as an unexpected situation occurs when the grandfather suddenly leaves, leaving only the members in the ger. The members will struggle to win the hearts of the children left behind.
In particular, the members reportedly showcased not only "customized new song promotions" to capture the Mongolian children's hearts but also a secret weapon (?). In a prior preview video they were so taken with the children that they said, "Sijeuni (the fandom name), sorry," sparking curiosity. Viewers are expected to feel pleasant healing from seeing the members run, laugh and connect with the children across the vast grassland.
The production team said, "You will be able to meet the harmless and pure energy of six youths who mingle freely with Mongolian children," and added, "Please enjoy watching not only the unexpectedly overturned popularity poll results but also the chemistry between the Mongolian children and the members."
Meanwhile, as the members' unpretentious charm and fantastic chemistry spread by word of mouth and raise expectations for the next episode, Mnet Plus original 'ON THE MAP' episode 2 will be released today (the 27th, Tuesday) at 8 p.m. on Mnet Plus, and will air the next day, the 28th (Wednesday), at 8 p.m. on the Mnet channel.
