Kim Jun-Ho, the husband of Kim Ji-min, received a reply song from a local woman after passionately reenacting(?) the "tearful proposal" in China.
On Feb. 28, the 39th episode of Channel S's Ni Don Nae San Dokbak Tour 4 (Channel S, SK Broadband co-produced) aired, in which Kim Dae-hee x Kim Jun-Ho x Jang Dong-min x You Se Yoon x Hong In-gyu traveled to Zhangjiajie, China, where they felt the mysterious great outdoors of Yuanjiajie, the inspiration for the film "Avatar," and spent a day directly experiencing the culture of local ethnic minorities.
That day, the Dokbakz gathered in one place to decide on a new travel destination. Kim Jun-Ho began by saying, "My mother and my mother-in-law often ask where a good travel destination is," and Jang Dong-min said, "That's right. But the 'travel preferences' that older people want are definitely different," expressing concern about finding a destination tailored to seniors. Then Kim Dae-hee suggested, "Let's travel as if we're doing a preliminary inspection of a filial piety travel course ourselves." They ultimately decided to go to Zhangjiajie in China, which was also featured in the drama When Life Gives You Tangerines.
A few days later, the Dokbakz went to China dressed as characters from the animation "Fly Superboard," fitting for Zhangjiajie, which was also a filming location for the popular Chinese drama "Journey to the West." Kim Dae-hee transformed into Tang Sanzang, Kim Jun-Ho into Zhu Bajie, Jang Dong-min into Sha Wujing, You Se Yoon into Sun Wukong, and Hong In-gyu into a moth. Before their Zhangjiajie National Forest Park tour, they rented a "robot leg" to make the trip more comfortable. Only You Se Yoon said, "I'm going to work on my lower body, so I don't need (the robot leg)," and later the Dokbakz played a helmet-spinning winner-takes-all game over the robot leg rental fee. As a result, Kim Dae-hee became the first Dokbak person in Zhangjiajie.
Fully prepared, the Dokbakz finally set out for the national forest park tour. To go to Yuanjiajie, the inspiration for the film "Avatar," they had to take the Bailong Elevator, and faced with the might of the world's tallest outdoor elevator—330 meters high, rising at 3 meters per second and reaching the top in about 1 minute 40 seconds—the Dokbakz all expressed awe. But inside the elevator, Kim Jun-Ho trembled and said, "I'm so scared. Don't touch me. It's terrifying."
Meanwhile, the Dokbakz repeatedly marveled at Zhangjiajie's changing scenery and the mysterious rock formations as they climbed. After enjoying the fantastic view at the top, the Dokbakz next went to "Mihon Terrace." Kim Dae-hee cracked an old man joke, asking, "Is this a place only for the unmarried?", and upon arrival, Hong In-gyu exclaimed, "The scenes I saw in 'Avatar' are vividly right before my eyes!" Kim Jun-Ho soon forgot his acrophobia and shouted, "This is amazing!"
Next, the Dokbakz moved to "Bofeng Lake," famous as a filming location for the Chinese drama "Journey to the West," and decided to take a cruise around the lake. At that time, Jang Dong-min explained the marriage culture of the Tujia, a representative ethnic minority of Zhangjiajie, saying, "If a man courts, he must sing a song here. Like Jun-Ho hyung!" In response, Kim Dae-hee and Hong In-gyu mimicked exactly the song "Seosi" by Shin Sung-woo—the song Jun-Ho sang in tears during his proposal—causing everyone to burst into laughter. Feeling embarrassed by the summoning of 'Ppueng Jun-Ho,' Kim Jun-Ho explained, "It's not easy not to cry (during the proposal). Maybe if you love the bride-to-be less, it might be possible?" Jang Dong-min emphasized, "This place is different. A man must sing well for the bride-to-be to reply, and then the proposal can succeed."
When everyone was surprised by the saying, "If you can't sing, you can't get married," the Dokbakz enjoyed the scenery of Bofeng Lake from the cruise. Then a boat with a Tujia woman waiting for a groom appeared across from them, and Jang Dong-min suggested picking one person to sing, saying, "If one of us sings as the groom courts, the bride on the opposite boat will sing a reply."
Hong In-gyu recommended, "Wouldn't it be best for Jun-Ho hyung, who most recently proposed, to do it?" and in the end Kim Jun-Ho went forward to sing. Instead of "Seosi," he passionately sang "Nak-in" by Lim Jae-beom, the OST of the drama "Chuno," exploding with proposal-level(?) tension. The Tujia woman also gave a clear reply song, moving the Dokbakz.
Immediately afterward, they agreed to play a solo game in which the person chosen by the cruise guide would pay the Bofeng Lake entrance fee. Hong In-gyu, who quickly hid in a corner, was selected and paid, saying, "I can't believe I'm the one to pay..."
Broadcast at 9 p.m. on the 7th (Sat).
