All right. It's 2024. To celebrate the New Year,

let's offer our greetings to the viewers.

- Happy New Year. - Happy New Year.

(Happy New Year.)

(May your 2024 become a precious one.)

All right. He's the man with the best energy in Korea.

GrandAward84.

Can you deliver the New Year message...

- on behalf of the cast? - Sure.

Dear viewers all over Korea.

- What? Is he running for president? - He's running for president.

- Dear people. - Is this for a presidential election?

I hope that all the plans you have for 2024...

go smoothly and turn out well,

so your families will be full of love and prosperity.

I hope you have a great year.

- He sounds different. - He's different.

He sounds different when he talks.

Good luck, people.

- "People." - Good luck, viewers.

You look like a politician who came out to exercise today.

(A politician came out to exercise.)

- Is that done on purpose? - No.

Only within a year after the launch...

of the Adventure by Accident 1,

the third season of our show...

won 7 awards at the 2023 MBC Entertainment Awards.

(Best Rookie Award, Male)

(Excellence Award, Female)

The Best Couple Award.

(Adventure by Accident 3 won awards from 6 categories.)

(And...)

(the glorious Grand Award was given to Kian84.)

Congratulations.

Can I buy stocks of the show?

I think the show will be on the rise, so I want to buy some.

- Right. - That's a good idea.

I bet you got a lot of celebratory messages from people.

I mean I did. But more importantly, there are placards...

- in Yeoju. - Again?

- At your relative's house. - Really?

There are about seven placards in Yeoju.

- Is that so? - Really?

The mayor of Yeoju...

- You're indeed the son of Yeoju. - invited me to visit Yeoju.

You guys ought to have a block party.

- More importantly, - Yes.

the placards can stay up only for 15 days.

They will be up until January 20.

So if you want to look at them, make sure to go before then.

- We don't have much time left. - There isn't much time left.

(Please hurry.)

If there's anything you forgot to say...

in your acceptance speech, you can say it now.

Actually, I thanked the members of the show during the speech.

- I made it too short. - You even forgot one of us.

- I even forgot to mention this guy. - Look at his facial expression.

He seems very unhappy right now.

(That's me.)

(He was delivering his acceptance speech.)

(GrandAward84 mentioned everyone one at a time.)

(Feeling proud)

(Thank you.)

(How come he didn't mention me?)

(Feeling disappointed)

- So... - I'm sorry. But don't talk to me today.

He seems utterly disappointed right now.

I apologized to him the day after the awards ceremony.

I sent him many messages, but he didn't text me back.

(The only response he got was a broken heart.)

(Simon Dominic responded with indifferent one-liners.)

It would've been different if he forgot two people.

- It was just him. No. The thing is... - It was just him. The only one.

- Simon Dominic. - Hear me out.

- You have a blackened heart. - I started with...

- I do. - Your heart is blackened.

- I'm sorry. - Hold his hand.

Right. You guys should make up.

Look each other in the eye too. Like what people did in "X-Man."

- "X-Man?" - Seriously.

- He's upset for real. - Like the game, Of Course.

- That's why. - He's upset for real.

What does he mean to you, Kian84?

(What does he mean to Kian84?)

You'd better answer it right.

My wife.

"Wife?"

(My lovely wife, Simon Dominic)

- My spouse. - I'm your wife?

- Your spouse? - My spouse.

- You consider him your spouse? - Well,

- What made you say that? - An old spouse of mine.

- An old spouse. - I took him for granted.

- You took him for granted. - I took him for granted.

- He forgot to thank Simon Dominic. - I took him for granted.

So I forgot him.

Right. We always say families are by our side.

- Right. - We often forget how precious they are.

- Okay. - I'm sorry, my spouse.

- The two of you... - "I'm sorry, my spouse."

- Honey. - "Honey?"

I'm sorry, honey.

- I'm sorry. - All right.

(GrandAward84 shares his sincere feelings with his honey.)

Well, talking about what happened like this...

- Are you feeling better now? - Yes, I'm all over it now.

I'll stop torturing Kian84 now.

- Great. Have a nice time together. - Okay.

Moreover, all of us won an award together.

We won the Variety Show of the Year Award...

and the Best Couple Award.

The winners of the awards were chosen purely by the votes from the viewers.

- Right. Seriously. - Winning them was quite meaningful.

The people we ought to thank the most...

are the viewers.

- What was that? - I put too much pressure on my nose.

- Why don't we express... - Yes.

- how we feel to the viewers? - Shall we?

- We. - Sincerely.

- Love you. - We are grateful.

- It comes from the bottom of our hearts. - Thank you sincerely.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

(Please spend your 2024 with our show.)

Great.

(The morning of their individual trips)

As for today, we'll be traveling individually.

The three of us will be going to the destination on our own.

Yes. I wanted to see you guys travel alone too.

(They wake up in the morning in their own rooms.)

- Gosh. My room looks so luxurious. - Right.

(A rare combination of Kian84 and a suite)

(He checks out of the hotel once he's ready.)

It's the morning.

(Looking around)

- Hello. - Good morning.

(The guys are already having breakfast.)

That looks good.

Tell him how many eggs you want to eat.

- Did they make the omelet for you? - Yes.

- Kian84. I must go... - Yes.

- quickly and wash up, so I can get going. - Same here.

Have some food. I'll go down now.

- What? - I don't have enough time.

You don't want to stay with me even for a minute?

- There are only two seats at the table. - What?

- Okay. Go. - See you later.

- Okay. - See you later.

Did you sleep well?

- Yes, I slept like a baby. - I see.

That was a nice meal.

That was a nice meal.

- Kian84 just came down. - Hey.

- Hey. - First of all...

How come you're all leaving the moment I get here?

Enjoy your breakfast.

- Okay. - Bye.

Gosh.

Anyway, let's stay alive...

- and see you at the hotel. - It's been a week already.

- I can't wait to see our individual trip. - Yes.

We'll be traveling individually now.

Right. Your solo trip...

- is starting at last. - You're going solo.

(He gulps down a cup of coffee.)

(Where will he be going today?)

(He saw the ceremony the day before on their way to the hotel.)

(People were dancing with a coffin.)

(That's a traditional funeral in Madagascar.)

(It's called Famadihana.)

(An unfamiliar funeral ceremony accompanied by music and dance)

Famadihana? I was curious about that.

People aren't overwhelmed by sadness because it's a funeral.

It's the opposite. They have more fun and enjoy their time together.

That seemed like the culture here.

Actually, as for our trip to India,

I remember the cremation ghat in Varanasi...

most vividly of all the places.

Death-related memories always left a strong impression on me.

If I'm not imposing or anything,

I would like to go and watch it.

I thought it would be an enriching experience.

(That night at the Korean restaurant,)

(the three brothers asked about Famadihana.)

(Asking his employee)

(My employee told me...)

(Thanks to the helpful owner of the Korean restaurant,)

(he managed to book a car to the funeral in no time.)

- Thank you. - Even I'm grateful to him.

(He will go to Famadihana today at last.)

I thought about it.

When I attend the funeral, I should offer some condolence money.

I should at least have an envelope.

- I can't just give them cash. - Excuse me.

- A pencil, please. - Sure.

I want...

(He suddenly plays Pictionary.)

That's a nice drawing.

- That's it. - Gosh.

- A queen-sized bed? - A pillow.

I got it. It's a pillow.

Well, an envelope.

You know...

(His Pictionary attempt fails.)

Gosh. I should have studied English.

"Postel."

- "Postes." - I went to find the mailbox.

You know... "Postes?"

Postes.

Yes.

- Thank you. - She has it.

- I was really happy to see it. - "Postes."

This is it. "Postes."

(Looking around)

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Are you the driver? - Yes.

- The driver from the car rental agency. - Yes.

- The one the restaurant owner booked. - Yes.

How long?

- One hour. - One hour?

- But for Antsirabe, - Yes.

it will take four hours.

- Four hours. - That's a long drive.

- So the funeral is on the way there? - Before... Yes.

The funeral will be held 30km away from the capital.

I'll stop by the funeral.

Then I'll meet up with the guys in Antsirabe again.

You have a long day ahead of you.

Okay. Let's go.

- Let's go. Yes. - Yes.

Okay.

Okay.

- What's your name? - I'm Tuki.

- Tuki. - Tuki.

- My name is Kim. Yes. - Kim. Yes.

Tuki. How old?

I'm 33.

Thirty-three.

- He could speak English. - Yes.

- I'm 40. - You're 40?

Yes.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

(They set out for Famadihana.)

(As they start driving with a flower petal on the car,)

(a view of purple flowers unfolds before them.)

- This place was cool. - The trees were so beautiful.

(Amazed)

- It looks just like Seokchon Lake. - Totally.

Do you know the name of this tree?

It's Jacaranda.

- Jacaranda. - Jacaranda.

I've never seen purple trees like these.

The flowers on Jacaranda trees bloom between October and November.

You went at the peak time.

They were so beautiful.

- Right. They look so pretty. - Yes.

They are similar to cherry blossom trees.

But it has a different charm.

- Gosh. It's making me sentimental. - It looks like Korea.

There's a different kind of beauty from cherry blossom trees.

I always feel this when I travel.

Observing the local way of life...

is the most fascinating aspect of traveling.

Observing the clothes they wear, the food they eat,

the work they do, and the faces they make.

- Watching them live diligently... - He's very observant.

intrigues me.

(Their culture hits him harder as it's different from ours.)

Seriously.

- Pushing that in the sun must be tough. - My gosh.

- Gosh. That... - That must be really heavy.

- Are they logs? - What are they?

- Their life itself is "Physical: 100." - Gosh. They're so strong.

- It was really steep. - They're working.

- Isn't that the ox cart? - That's a lot of logs.

- They're pulling it themselves. - They are pulling it themselves.

That's why men there were so fit.

- What? A car? - A car too?

They were all fit.

As for the fuels of transportation,

they have gas, diesel fuel, electricity, and so on.

But I've never seen a country that used muscles like this.

- That's a bare-body workout. - This is the first.

(Only the strong survives on the streets in Madagascar.)

- Right on his head. - Right on his head.

- Gosh. - You can't start a fight in Madagascar.

- They are experts. - They're carrying and rolling the tires.

It's been 1 hour and 30 minutes. We've been driving for over 1 hour.

Well,

the condition of the road...

We're driving off-road now.

The off-road style.

(They begin driving off-road.)

I got carsick too.

The car couldn't go over 20km per hour.

Other than the main roads, the roads were unpaved.

No highways?

- No highways. - Okay.

(Bumpy)

Gosh. The road is so bumpy.

There was no traffic jam, but the car couldn't go faster.

It was a new kind of experience.

- It was so precious. - Gosh.

Dear people who love driving off-road.

Come to Madagascar.

People who love driving off-road in Korea will love this place.

This is a paradise for people who love that.

Hello.

The future of Madagascar.

Study hard, guys.

- So you build highways here. - Gosh.

Like Chairman Chung Ju Yung.

(Bumpy)

(Shaking)

We haven't arrived, but I got out of the car.

The motion sickness is killing me. I feel so dizzy.

Korea.

(He starts communicating since he's out of the car.)

- Hello. - They seem to enjoy that.

- Korean? - I'm Korean.

Korean.

Hello.

(Spotting teenagers coming out of school)

Hello.

You are the future of Madagascar.

- A dream tree. - A dream tree.

- Madagascar's dream trees. - Because they're the future.

You should build...

highways after you grow up.

Don't become a fan of driving off-road.

I was acting like a boomer there.

- A boomer? - Okay.

We have a busy day.

- Go. - Yes. Go.

(They set out to Famadihana again.)

There's a tomb.

- A tomb? - A tomb.

A place for death.

- A tomb. - That was the tomb.

- A tomb. - I see.

Do you know what a tomb is?

- A tomb. - I don't know Tom.

- A tomb. - Toom?

A tomb.

What does it mean?

(Trailing off)

- T-O-M-B. - Wait.

- M. - B.

- B. - Yes.

I see. I know now.

Tomb.

- A tomb. It's "mudum" in Korean. - A tomb.

- Yes. I know it now. - A tomb.

He kept saying "Tom."

- This is the tomb? - Yes.

Yes.

There are a lot of tombs...

- in the countryside. - They built the tombs like houses.

I see. Based on the region and the tribe,

tombs may take up different shapes and forms.

As for the region he visited, they build the tomb with bricks...

and store the corpses inside.

The Korean tombs have a similar style to the ones in Madagascar.

Many people sleep.

Gosh. That's from the old days.

- That's very big. - Yes.

- A big family. - I see. A big family.

- That tomb is for the entire family. - I see. A family tomb.

It's not for just one person.

(The family is laid together in the same tomb.)

I looked up this culture, Famadihana.

It means the return of the dead.

The bereaved family gathers around the tomb...

and changes the clothes...

that wraps the deceased's body. That's the tradition.

"The local people believe that..."

"the spirits of the dead are still connected to the living..."

"and roam in the living realm."

"To many locals in Madagascar,"

"death isn't a sad occasion. It's a time to celebrate."

It felt like...

going in for a visit.

I bet it feels surreal to experience that in person.

It says that the occasion itself...

is like a festival.

Funeral cultures are fascinating. They exist all over the world.

- There are unique funeral cultures. - Right.

(He's asking a local for directions.)

- So you can't use GPS there? - It doesn't work.

Once I got there, I didn't have a good cell reception either.

He's asking people around.

It must be around here. Famadihana.

- Famadihana. - Yes.

- His name is Jean-Claude. - Yes.

- Jean-Claude. - Yes.

(Jean-Claude Van Damme)

Jean-Claude Van Damme.

(A fitting name of a man from a country with many muscular men)

- That's music. - I hear music.

- Can you hear the music? - They must be getting close.

Music.

That's Famadihana.

I see. Here?

(They arrive after driving for 2 hours off-road.)

- Gosh. - That's quite the crowd.

- Gosh. That's so unique. - Everyone must have come.

The whole town must be there.

(How will Famadihana look?)

(Meanwhile, this is the solo trip of the youngest.)

I see a taxi.

Hello.

I want to go to the Ikopa River.

- Ikopa River? - Where's that?

I want to hand-wash...

- my clothes. - Gosh. Laundry again?

I ought to do laundry again.

He's in charge of laundry on the show.

We got the laundry service.

But we got more dirty laundry from the night before.

On top of that, Kian84 got wet completely the night before.

I wanted to wash his clothes for him.

- Gosh. - When we arrived in Antananarivo,

I had a lot of dirty laundry.

I was trying to figure out how to do laundry...

while heading to the hotel.

I saw a big river or something.

I saw people doing laundry around the river.

- You paid attention to that. - I see.

Right. They laid their clothes on the lawn.

They dry the clothes in the sun.

A lot of clothes were being dried on the rocks.

When I saw that, I was reminded of the laundry place in Varanasi.

I decided to do laundry there if I had time to spare.

I already wanted to do that.

I noticed that Kian84 didn't wash his clothes.

Even when we got the laundry service done at the hotel,

I noticed that he didn't get his clothes washed.

(I don't have dirty laundry.)

(The oldest brother turned down the laundry service.)

(He's wearing dirty laundry. What's he talking about?)

Ever since then, I had planned to wash his clothes.

- Did I smell, Dex? - I thought...

No. You didn't smell.

(Suspecting if there was body odor)

Interestingly enough, he barely washed his clothes.

But he didn't smell bad.

- You're blessed. - Yes.

No. You probably didn't know, but I kept washing my clothes.

It made no sense we didn't know. We should have known.

He must've done it behind their backs.

(It's a secret.)

I have to wash my clothes again tomorrow. I got rained on.

Do you want to go and do laundry with me?

Like we did in India?

We don't have to pay to do our laundry.

It's like how mothers did laundry...

by the river back in the day. It's something like that.

(The joy of doing laundry in India is unforgettable.)

Seriously? You're going to wash my clothes?

I'll just wash yours on top of mine.

Gosh. How sweet.

You're weirdly fixated on doing laundry.

You're not the owner of a laundromat.

It's fun.

You're doing laundry from all over the world.

I'll get going now.

He wrapped it up like a pouch.

- "Clean Dex." - "Clean Dex."

- My goodness. - That startled me too.

Dex. My clothes...

Goodness.

Thank you.

By the way, the laundry...

I don't have a bag to put the laundry in.

(He faces a crisis the next day.)

Why...

I don't know why I'm turning into Kian84.

I see a plastic bag right here.

- That's for the trash can. - It's a trash bag.

But I didn't throw out any trash into this.

So it's clean. You know?

It's not a trash bag if you didn't throw out any trash.

It's fine even if it has some trash.

(Kian84's clothes)

- Let me put in the laundry. - Now, that's a trash bag.

That's a trash bag now?

He's so mean. He's the meanest!

He said it was a trash bag because it had your clothes.

- I just put his clothes in it. - It was before washing the clothes.

When you get to know him for a long time,

- He can be harsh. - he's not that kind.

That was quite hurtful.

I want to wash my clothes.

I want to wash my clothes in the river.

(I want to hand-wash them like this.)

- It's called Ikopa. - Yes.

- Yes. Ikopa. - I saw it on the way to the hotel.

- Let me take a picture. - I didn't know the exact location.

- Aqupa River. - "Ikopa."

I can't believe Dex went to do Kian84's laundry in his free time.

Thank you so much.

He's Kian84's biggest fan.

Okay. Bye.

Thank you.

This is the place.

- That must be a famous spot then. - Yes.

It was huge.

Where's the Ikopa River?

- Where? - That's the river.

- No. Let me explain that. - I see.

- Dex. I don't have a lot of roles here. - I'm sorry.

- Don't take away my role now. - I'm sorry.

Let me read from the notebook.

- "Let me read from the notebook." - Gosh.

You'll take away her job.

- Go ahead. - Right.

All right. The Ikopa River runs through Antananarivo.

It's the most popular laundry place frequented by the locals.

That was pretty short.

- Right. - It was short.

That was pretty short.

- Since it's short, let me say it. - It would've been...

about the same regardless of who said it.

Hey, it would be pretty cruel if he takes away these lines too.

Right.

I'm sorry.

(The laundry place forms along the Ikopa River.)

- Everyone is doing laundry there? - They're all doing laundry.

People are washing their clothes on a large scale.

They're doing it in the shade.

By the way, I see a lot of clothes being dried in the sun.

- They're drying the clothes in the sun. - Right.

I guess people wash their clothes here and dry them in the sun too.

Gosh. Some people are washing laundry here and some are fishing too.

- People are fishing there? - Fishing?

(People wash their clothes and fish here.)

(It represents the way of life in Antananarivo.)

Hello.

I should go over there.

(He finds a spot he likes.)

That's how she washes her clothes here.

I have dirty laundry too.

(This is mine.)

I see. This is for washing?

You must wet your clothes in the detergent.

I see. To clean.

I didn't bring soap with me.

I need to borrow some from her.

I forgot to bring detergent.

I should ask her for some detergent without offending her.

(He goes in.)

Okay.

Can I borrow some...

Just a bit.

I brought chocolate.

- Thank you. - I bartered it for some detergent.

- Good job. - I'm so grateful.

Okay.

(He starts washing the clothes.)

Wet the clothes and rub the soap on them.

I see. Like this?

Wet the clothes first.

I see. Wet it and put it on here.

- Like this? Shake it? - Rub it.

I see. Rub it.

Is she the laundry master in Madagascar?

I ought to learn it.

- Things might be different from India. - And shake it?

(Looking around)

(It's quiet and peaceful at the laundry place.)

Compared to the one in India, it was quiet.

- That's not what Dex likes. - He has to shake it.

I need to do it energetically.

I suddenly miss that guy.

(This master guided him into the world of laundry.)

(The beginning of the shouting skill)

(Master, watch me.)

I wasn't going to use my skills.

Don't be surprised.

Gosh. That's my shirt.

I should put it here.

There comes the shouting skill.

(Screaming)

(What was that?)

My skills improved.

(Screaming)

She's startled.

"Is he sick?"

(Grunting)

It's okay. Don't be surprised.

(Her eyes are fixed on him.)

(Grunting)

(Using a merciless skill)

(This is a rare sight.)

(Grunting)

(His grunting brings tension to this peaceful laundry place.)

So that skill is effective in washing the clothes, right?

The shirt doesn't look dirty anymore.

Hey, that's nice.

It's effective.

You got rid of all the stains.

- Right. - Gosh.

It's clean now.

Gosh. People seem to enjoy watching him.

- Passers-by stopped and started to watch. - A laundry show.

Kian84 wore this even in India.

(The oldest brother's favorite shirt)

(Grunting)

- Die! - That will kill anything.

Germs, die!

"Kill me already."

- "Kill me instead." - Right.

I definitely killed everything.

The shirt had no idea when it was on display in the store.

(The unfortunate fate of his favorite shirt)

(A new skill dominates the Ikopa River.)

You never know.

Someone might be grunting at the Ikopa River right about now.

- Right. - That's Dex's influence.

(Cheering)

(Drying it on the rock)

Let me dry the laundry on the rock.

(It's a complete laundry service from washing to drying.)

(The laundry at the Ikopa River is over.)

(Hey, what's wrong with my age?)

(It's the perfect day to do laundry)

All right. Now,

I have to set out to meet up with the guys.

I'm going to ask the receptionist about the bus...

to my destination today.

- Hello. - Hello.

I want to go to Antsirabe.

- Antsirabe. - Antsirabe.

I want to take a bus.

A VIP bus.

- There's a bus? - Yes, there's a bus.

- Since I have a lot of stuff, - A VIP bus.

I plan to ride a premium bus that's big and comfortable.

- A premium bus. - It's a long ride too.

- Yes. - Like the airport bus.

Soatrans Plus?

- Okay. - Yes.

Find it on Google Maps, please.

(It's right here.)

- Soatrans Plus? - Yes.

- I see. This is the bus stop, right? - Yes.

This is a good bus, right?

I found a terminal for good buses.

(He gets the address for luxury buses.)

I got the address for it.

(He arrives at the Soatrans Terminal.)

All right. I'm going...

to buy the bus ticket to Antanabe.

I see. It's Antsirabe.

You're turning into Kian84.

He's reaching the limit with the capacity of his brain.

Antanri... Antanabe.

- Antsirabe. - Antsirabe.

- You're going to Antsirabe? Come here. - Yes.

Okay. Come here.

I want to go to Antsirabe.

- One o'clock. - Okay.

A premium bus, please.

You can buy the tickets at the terminal.

Or you can reserve tickets too.

The buses leave at the scheduled times...

- even if you don't show up. - A premium bus.

- Kim. K-I-M. - Yes.

You pay the money there.

I see. Okay.

- The bus ride takes about 4 to 5 hours. - Thank you.

- It costs about six dollars. - Thank you so much.

- The price is pretty good. - Okay. Come here.

- Okay. - This way.

- You're very kind. Thank you. - Yes.

- I work here. I'm a driver. - You work here? I see.

- You're a driver? A driver for my bus? - It's a good city.

- No. - I see.

What a bummer.

It would've been fun to go with this driver.

Antsirabe is a good city.

- A good city. Very good? - Very good. Yes.

- Okay. - Here.

This is the bus I'm going to take.

(From Antananarivo to Antsirabe)

- I'm Kim. - Kim.

Everyone has assigned seats.

Heavy.

(His bag will be stored in a separate compartment.)

This is the seat. Number 11.

Master.

(He means the driver.)

Excuse me.

I want to get off there.

I want to stop there.

- Yes. - Really? That's nice.

- It's a tailored service for passengers. - It's like a taxi.

- Like pressing the bell to get off. - Okay?

Right.

The distance between Antananarivo and Antsirabe...

is about 170km.

It's equivalent to the distance between Seoul and Daejeon.

I'm getting curious.

Hello.

(She's speaking French.)

- I don't speak French. - Malagasy?

No.

She wants to talk to you.

- No. Korea. - What a bummer.

You don't know?

- Are you filming something? - Pardon?

- She's curious. - Yes, we're filming.

For a big TV show in Korea.

A very famous TV show.

- What's the name of the TV show? - Pardon?

- What's the name of the TV show? - I see.

Adventure by Accident.

All right. I don't know.

Repeat after me.

- Adventure by... - Adventure by...

- Accident. - Accident.

- Yes. - Adventure by Accident.

Yes. Perfect.

(Friendly)

(Fanning)

So hot.

It's hot.

(Hey)

It's "mafana" in Malagasy.

- Mafana. - Mafana.

- Mafana. - Mafana means hot.

Hot?

- Mafana. - Both of them are kind to him.

- Hot. - He didn't even do anything.

He was just sitting down.

Look at her face.

- Look at her eyes. - Have you not seen a look like that?

I didn't know people could make a facial expression like that.

(Laughing)

When you're handsome, people think you're the funniest person in the world.

How do you say hot in Korean?

- Hot. - Hot.

- Hot. - Why did she laugh when he said hot?

- Yes. - Mafana.

I'm finally going to Antsirabe.

- Antsirabe, right? - Yes.

Antsirabe.

Is that your hometown?

- Yes. I'm from there. - Really?

Your smile is very sweet.

- Thank you. - There he goes again.

- He's flirting again. - Dex.

Our smiles are pretty too.

- I got laminates too. - Let's go.

I have a feeling that I'll make a good friend.

(Gulping)

The woman next to him glanced at him.

(Look at this.)

- She said it was the same water. - It's the same drink.

- Grandma. - What?

- How can she be so friendly to him? - Mafana.

He was just sitting down, but people next to him...

So having water from the same brand can be the subject of a conversation.

That's not a big deal.

You could have water from the same brand.

- Of course, it'd be the same brand. - Pani Bottle.

Did something bad happen while traveling?

There are many things I want to say,

- but I can't spoil it now. - Really?

- Grandma. - Just because they have the same water.

- Me. Mafana. - They even clinked the bottles?

Let's shout it together.

Mafana.

Mafana.

Everybody, mafana!

- Mafana. - Yes.

- I said it quietly not to bother others. - Thank you.

But everyone said mafana together.

Everyone is cheerful.

They're all going to Antsirabe.

I'm already relieved.

Traveling is easy for him.

- I know. It's so fun for him. - Traveling makes him happy,

and it's easy.

(It feels good from the beginning just like the nice weather.)

Coming out of the city,

(After running for a while, a plain appears outside the window.)

I see a vast plain.

Thank you.

Thank you, madam.

(The sweet lady opened the scenery for him.)

I'm seeing a type of scenery...

I love to see...

in Adventure by Accident.

A big plain that isn't blocked by anything.

(An unblocked view and a vast land)

There...

is a vast plain.

My eyes feel better just by looking at it.

(The journey to Antsirabe is refreshing.)

What's going on?

What happened?

I would've cried if I were at their age.

(Crying)

(What happened to Pani Bottle?)

(3 hours ago)

(The second oldest came to find transportation to Antsirabe.)

I think I should go in here.

I was looking for the same taxi-brousse.

"Taxi-brousse?"

That's what they call a van there.

- Hello. - Hello.

(It's the most common transportation there.)

This is a taxi-brousse terminal called Fasan'ny Karana.

The vans that go to every city in Madagascar gathered there.

It's the biggest and the oldest taxi-brousse terminal in the country.

It's the same one Dex took.

But mine was more local.

It's nice.

(It's like an ordinary van many ordinary people use.)

Some people send packages through the vans.

It's like a delivery service.

They transport everything.

(They transport packages and people at the same time.)

It definitely feels different from the van I took.

Right.

It's like an intercity bus.

I see.

The cars are better than I thought.

(Taxi-brousses come in different sizes.)

It's wild.

(Looking around)

What should I take?

It says Antsirabe.

(The route is written on the sign on the top.)

There was a sign on the top.

"Antsirabe."

(From Tana to Antsirabe)

Antsirabe?

- Antsirabe? - Antsirabe?

This car.

How much is it?

It looks a little bit cheaper.

I see. Okay.

How much was it?

The one I took is usually 15,000 ariaries.

Why is it the same as the price of the premium van?

I also paid 20,000 ariaries.

What?

(The premium van was 20,000 ariaries.)

(The fare for the regular van was also 20,000 ariaries.)

They ripped him off.

(They ripped him off.)

How about the luggage?

The bag.

No.

(Give it to me.)

On the top? I feel uneasy.

On the top? Okay?

(Don't worry.)

Please handle it carefully.

(Gently)

Okay.

(He gets in after checking that his bag is safe.)

It's not full yet.

(You can tell the seats are small at a glance.)

Your back will hurt a lot.

It's small.

You can just sit anywhere.

- They're not reserved. - No.

What kind of smell is this?

(He managed to take a seat.)

Antsirabe?

Antsirabe?

- Yes. - Okay.

(He wants to continue the conversation.)

(Turning her head)

- She didn't want to show her face. - What? The reactions are so different.

It's like, "Don't talk to me."

She was like, "Don't talk to me."

It's so different. What is this?

She was probably in a bad condition.

(The atmosphere is quite different from when Dex was talking to people.)

It will take a long time to fill all the seats.

(Many seats are still empty.)

- There would be no departure time. - There's someone in the back as well.

- One, two, three, four, - There's no set time.

- It leaves when it's full. - five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

(It departs when it's full.)

It departs when it's full.

(He will have to wait forever until it's full.)

The seats...

can't recline either.

It's almost 90 degrees.

What's that?

That's nice. It's local. I like it.

(He naturally puts it back.)

(Laughing)

He lost it.

(Welcome to the taxi-brousse.)

There's no customer.

(That's how he started waiting forever.)

People are getting on the van little by little.

(Passenger 1)

It already feels stuffy.

Gosh, it must be hot.

(Passenger 3)

- Hello. - Hello.

(Laughing awkwardly)

- English? Malagasy? - Malagasy.

French?

Malagasy.

(Just Malagasy)

Hello.

(He repeats the greeting.)

I have nothing to say.

The language barrier is big.

When it comes to language,

Madagascar is the toughest place to travel.

(It's the toughest place to travel because of the language barrier.)

I took the taxi-brousse...

to communicate with the locals.

Because it's mostly used by local people,

I kept trying to talk to them.

Antsirabe?

(Nodding)

Antsirabe?

(How long does it take to go to Antsirabe?)

- Antsirabe? - Yes.

(How long does it take?)

(They're just saying Antsirabe to keep the conversation going.)

- It worked. - It worked.

Are there lemurs in Antsirabe?

(It's a different word.)

(Is it a tricky question?)

(I don't know.)

Lemurs.

(Making a monkey sound)

Lemurs?

People laughed only when I did something funny.

They did?

Lemurs in Antsirabe.

(Let me show you.)

- No? - No.

(No)

What is in Antsirabe?

(It mistranslated to mean "What is made in Antsirabe?")

- No? - Nothing is made.

I will stop trying to communicate with him now.

(Sighing)

It's hot.

I'm exhausted even before leaving.

(He's been waiting in the steaming van for 30 minutes.)

(Gulping)

(In a daze)

(He's completely different from Dex who enjoyed even the heat.)

That ice cream must be amazing.

(Do you want to eat it?)

What's this?

(Would you like to try it?)

I'm sick.

Why?

I don't have money.

Why?

I don't have money.

(Goodbye then.)

It was a hot day, so I kept the window open.

- And people came to ask me... - They were selling things.

- to buy something. - Did they have DVDs as well?

Okay.

(The sellers are passing by as if it's a conveyor belt sushi.)

- Okay. - "A conveyor belt sushi."

(The sellers are passing by as if it's a conveyor belt sushi.)

This place...

is like a tourist spot. They keep coming. What's going on?

(Crowded)

Ice cream?

(Life-saving water came to the cramped van.)

Ice cream?

- Ice cream? - He understood the word right away.

- Yes or no? - Yes.

- Two. - Three.

(Can you get one for me too?)

Three.

(Peeking)

- "Peeking." - "Peeking." What was that?

(He gives it to the passengers in the same row.)

I bought ice cream for the passengers in the same row as I wanted to get close.

(Turning around)

(It's supposed to be mine.)

(Thumbs up)

One more.

One more.

(He makes sure to take one for himself.)

(One more, please.)

It's 1,000 ariaries per 1.

(Hey, you)

Oh, right. Wait. Okay.

(He gives his ice cream to a baby in the front.)

That's all.

Do I still have 1,000-ariary bills? Wait.

Four?

(Get more.)

(He grabbed it as if he was in a trance.)

Ice cream.

(Who wants ice cream?)

(Turning around)

- Ice cream. - He gave it to everyone in the end.

- It's like buying a round. - Ice cream.

(Taking)

(Smiling)

I should leave one for myself.

(Laughing)

It's not expensive. It's 1,000 ariaries only.

(I'll get one more.)

Ice cream.

(He wins their favor with ice cream.)

I don't have any. It's done. Okay.

Bye. Okay.

(Laughing)

People don't pretend to refuse to be polite here.

- They're smiling only now. - Yes. They're smiling.

"They're smiling only now."

(The ice cream put a big smile on their faces.)

This is good.

(Offering)

(He strategically grabbed the chance.)

Everyone is here now.

- I just wanted ice cream. - Oh, my gosh.

It's like the massage incident.

"Come here! He's a pushover!"

(Laughing)

(The eldest who was surrounded by so many masseurs...)

(paid a lot for the massage.)

(The sellers are crowding around him.)

The snack does look good, though.

(Try it.)

(Try this too.)

(Anticipating)

(He takes out cash with a determined look.)

(They start bidding.)

Only one person.

Just this much.

(Snacks are flooding in.)

- More? No. This is not right. - The locals must've never seen it.

More? No. This is not right.

Ten, please.

Come on. You're lying. I just want ten of them.

- It's driving me crazy. - Ten.

- One, two... - They're just throwing it in.

No!

(He bursts into laughter.)

Hey.

- Okay. You. - It's hilarious.

(He made a successful bid.)

I just need one person to sell their snack.

(He bought so much that it even covers the camera.)

Okay?

(Payment is made in the chaos.)

(Blocking)

(I'm not buying anymore.)

(As soon as he pays for it, they're reaching out their hands.)

Everyone is excited.

People never refuse here.

(Me too.)

It's a party.

This one? Okay.

There's nothing left. I should eat some too.

This is for me.

(Okay)

No. I'm not buying.

(He could keep a bag of chips in the chaos.)

It's the atmosphere.

I get why Kian84 was ripped off. But I didn't spend much money.

It's 20,000 ariaries in total.

So it's about 4 to 5 dollars.

It's just this much.

(Staring)

Say, "Thank you."

(He asks them to thank him.)

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Okay.

(Satisfied)

I taught them Korean Etiquette.

- Everyone had fun, though. - Yes.

He did well.

Everyone was happy because of 5 dollars.

(People in the car are enjoying snacks thanks to generous Pani Bottle.)

It would bother you if you don't get snacks for them.

(Opening)

- He opened it himself. - Why is it open?

How did he open the window?

(He tried to open the market again but failed in the end.)

It's driving me crazy.

When are we leaving?

How long have I been waiting?

I think almost an hour and a half has passed.

An hour and a half? That's too long.

I think I might have to wait...

another two hours.

The babies start crying.

Oh, no.

I understand why they're crying.

It's very hot and stuffy inside.

- I would've cried if I were at their age. - It's even hard for adults.

- Mom. - Right.

(When everyone is annoyed by the heat,)

(the driver finally gets on the van.)

It's departing now.

- It's finally departing. - My gosh.

It was a very long wait.

- Are you going to Antsirabe? - Sorry?

- Yes. - Okay.

Finally.

(After twists and turns, it's finally departing.)

Let's go.

- Bye. - Bye.

(He says goodbye to the conveyor belt shopping mall.)

We're leaving at 1 p.m. It's not bad.

It takes five hours,

so we'll arrive at 6 p.m.

It feels much better out here.

(He will arrive at 6 p.m.)

It's refreshing.

(Squeezing)

This is fun as I'm doing this after a long time.

It's a fun ride on the taxi-brousse.

I've never been here,

so I wanted to travel like this in Adventure by Accident.

(It's a little uncomfortable and noisy,)

(but he's feeling the journey with his entire body with the locals.)

- It's fun as all journeys are different. - Yes.

(Meanwhile, Dex is sleeping soundly.)

What's that?

It's a headphone.

(Very comfortable)

He's sleeping well.

(Getting ready)

(He follows them to get off while being half asleep.)

It's a rest area.

The rest area is nice.

The hair.

(His hair is flat.)

Oh, gosh.

(Pani Bottle also arrived at a rest area in the meantime.)

- One. - One?

- Why did I go to a rest area like that? - What? Why is it so different?

- Okay. - Is it a different country?

(Same rest area, different feelings)

I should get shampoo and conditioner.

(He's shopping while being half asleep.)

Is this mouthwash?

- Excuse me. Hello. - What is it?

- Who is it? - Hello. Nice to meet you.

Yes. I'm Korean.

Really?

- Really. - Does she speak Korean?

- Hi. - My gosh. It got me surprised.

Hi.

Your Korean is good.

(They were sitting behind Dex.)

They were listening.

(I think he's Korean.)

Oh, my.

I think it's all good.

Wherever he goes, things happen like a drama.

- The world is helping him. - Seriously.

- This is insane. - The entire world...

The entire universe is working for you.

- is helping you. - I know.

I couldn't hear properly because I was half asleep.

But they heard my Korean...

and started speaking Korean to me.

- Hi. - Hi.

- It got me surprised. - Your Korean is good.

- I didn't expect to hear Korean there. - Do you speak Korean?

- I know. - Yes.

We really love Korean.

- Really? - Yes. We really like Korean.

- You do? - Yes.

- You were trying to look cool. - No.

My hair was all messy. I didn't look cool.

- I love K-pop singers. - Who...

- do you like? - Who?

She likes Stray Kids.

(Shy)

- The thing was... - Stray Kids are very popular.

What? Where are you going?

We're going to Antsirabe.

- Sorry? - Antsirabe.

- Antsirabe? - Yes.

So all of us are going there.

I'm going to Antsirabe as well.

- You are? - Yes. For real.

- Really? - Is it your hometown?

"Hometown?" How do you say...

- It's... - I can't understand what you said.

Why are you going to Antsirabe?

- We're going there... - Going on a trip?

- to meet our friends. - Her Korean is so good.

- Yes. - Are you all college students?

- Yes. We're college students. - College.

We're college students.

- It's raining. - Yes. It's raining.

(But the rain is...)

- Is it hailing? I see hail. - Hail?

- It's hail. - My gosh.

How can it suddenly hail in that weather?

(He ran in the hail...)

(to take a seat.)

Goodness, isn't that hail?

Gosh, it's hail.

The weather is so unpredictable.

Gosh, I didn't know it hailed.

(She's putting on a top.)

I guess the weather is slightly colder for them now.

The woman next to me and this girl...

are putting on more clothes.

- You cold? - Yes.

- Really? - Of course.

I'm... I see.

- You're not cold? - No.

I'm not cold.

- I'm a hot guy. - Gosh.

(Smirking)

- I'm not cold. - How are they so friendly...

on a taxi-brousse like that?

- He's jealous. - I'm...

Do you want me to open the window?

"Do you want me to open the window?" Someone opened it for me too.

The two situations are so different.

- They opened it without asking you. - Someone opened it for me too.

They threw food at you too.

(He was too sweet that it was fatal.)

I can't let him win.

We really can't believe that you're Korean.

- She keeps talking to you. - Really?

- Amazing. This is so amazing. - Yes.

Have you never seen a Korean in Madagascar?

Sometimes.

- Sometimes? - Yes.

- It's really like a gift. - "Like a gift."

- A "gift"? - She said he's like a gift.

He didn't even give her any gift.

I'm the one who gave out gifts.

- It's all in the past. - Okay.

- Dex himself is the gift. - Gosh.

(He is the gift himself.)

The name of this show is "Adventure by Accident."

"Adventure by Accident" means...

we were born to travel.

- I see. - Gosh.

(Life is an adventure,)

(and the brothers were born to travel.)

So where have you been before you came to Madagascar?

- India. - India?

Yes, India.

India is a very beautiful place.

Which one do you like?

- India or Madagascar? - It's like choosing between mom and dad.

Madagascar.

You like Madagascar more?

(Good answer.)

I like Madagascar more.

It's very peaceful...

that it softens my heart.

(Everything Dex says is making the girls laugh.)

The people sitting behind him are almost out of their seats.

- It's like... - They might even end up on his lap.

The way she's peeking at him is so cute.

She can't seem to take her eyes off him.

Can I ask you one question?

There's this thing in Korean university culture...

called meetings.

- Meetings? - Yes.

- That means... - It's part of Kian84's bucket list.

- Oh, Generation MZ. - Making fun memories...

- with Generation MZ. - But that is different...

So I attempted to get some information from them.

- Goodness. - You're doing it for him.

With men or women who you're meeting for the first time...

- It's like a date. - Yes.

I saw it in dramas.

- Really? - Yes.

Do you have those here too?

- No. - No?

You don't want to have meetings?

- In Madagascar? At university? - Yes.

- No. - No?

Why?

(They're laughing at the smallest things.)

You must be very shy.

Do you have a boyfriend?

- Yes. - Yes.

- Yes? - Yes?

- Yes and yes? You? - Yes.

She has a boyfriend. I don't.

- I have a boyfriend. - You're alone?

(I'm single.)

- How about you? - Pardon?

How about you?

I'm alone.

(I'm single too.)

- I'm alone. - You're lying.

- Lying? No. - Yes.

(Laughing)

You're so handsome. Why are you single?

I'm not handsome.

(Laughing)

They kept giving me compliments,

so I... Gosh.

- Really. You're so pretty. - No, I'm not.

- No. - You're very pretty.

Oh, I'm very pretty?

(They're having a good time.)

- Goodness. - Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Hey, I can't watch this.

(He's giving up watching the video?)

I don't really like reality dating shows.

This suddenly became one.

(This is "Paradise" in Madagascar.)

- It's so funny. - This keeps happening.

Can we take a picture together?

(Lastly, they take a picture together.)

The four of us became friends.

(With the Madagascan girls)

(Meanwhile, Pani Bottle also...)

Do you want to take a picture?

Selfie?

(Nodding)

(Peace sign)

Thank you.

(The situation may be a little different.)

- Someday, you want... - This is how you become friends.

- Right. - Korea is cool.

Antsirabe? Here?

- You've finally arrived in Antsirabe. - I've arrived.

I was the first one to arrive.

I left at 1 p.m...

and arrived a little past 5 p.m.

(Even when they're getting off,)

(he says goodbye in a friendly way.)

Guys, do you know what that means?

- What - What is it?

He bumped your fist.

This is a gesture used to greet people in Madagascar.

- Really? - So you bump fists...

- and you bring your fist to your chest. - Bump fists...

It means "good love."

- Gosh. - "Good love."

- I see. - Apparently, that's what it means.

- Gosh. It's cool. - That's cool.

Good love.

Pani Bottle, didn't the people next to you...

- I didn't know about this. - Did you do "good love" with them?

I've never seen that in Madagascar before.

Do it with me.

- Good love. - Good love.

This warms my heart at the end of the year.

- The beginning of the year. - It's the beginning of the year.

Right. The beginning of the year.

Snap out of it!

(Snap out of it, Pani Bottle!)

(He's getting off the bus after 4 hours.)

My long journey is over.

- Goodbye, my friend. - Goodbye.

You must have lost track of time.

I had so much fun talking on the way there,

- thanks to my friends. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Hotel Le Trianon.

I got off right in front of where we were staying.

So it was only a minute's walk to the hotel.

I don't know why I'm so exhausted.

Pani Bottle arrived after sunset.

How much? Hotel Le Trianon?

- I know. - How much?

- How much? - It's 10,000 ariaries.

- It's 10,000 ariaries? - Yes.

The cool weather is so nice.

(He traveled for a while.)

It's quite far. I wouldn't have made it If I had decided to walk.

Le Trianon.

It's right there.

- Thank you. - Yes, thank you. Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

Wait, what floor are we on?

He's now at Famadihana.

Finally, I'm here.

I can see it way over there.

But I think I should give the condolence money first.

- You came prepared. - You prepared.

I searched this online.

(May he rest in peace)

I'll write, "May he rest in peace."

"Mandaria..."

You've put a lot of thought into it.

I was a little careful since it was a funeral.

So I think...

I'll give about 100,000 ariaries.

That's approximately 30 dollars.

(After much consideration, he decided to give 30 dollars as condolence money.)

(He put much effort into preparing for the visit.)

Thank you.

Wait, I'll be back.

- He's going to wait for you? - Yes.

He's an acquaintance of the employee of the Korean restaurant.

His name is Jean-Claude.

This is a Famadihana...

of Jean-Claude's family.

He gladly invited me, so I'm on my way.

Foreigners usually don't go to the countryside like this.

Foreigners are especially rare there.

The locals probably only speak Malagasy,

- so communicating wouldn't be... - Your name is Kim?

- I'm Kim. - What's going on?

(Someone came up to him out of nowhere.)

Is your name Jean-Claude?

- Yes. - Oh, you're Jean-Claude?

- He must have heard you were coming. - Nice to meet you.

- I think he was told that I was coming. - Nice to meet you.

Thank you for inviting me.

(Thank you for inviting me.)

Thank you for inviting me.

(That's what he meant.)

Yes.

Just in case I make a mistake while talking to them,

- they interpreted everything. - That's good.

Thank you for joining us for this joyful celebration.

- "Joyful celebration." - It's a joyful celebration.

He's greeting him. How nice of him.

(He's actually giving him a warm welcome with a bright smile.)

Thank you.

How many days is this held for?

(Two days)

- Two days. Gosh. - Yes.

So who are you holding the funeral for?

My father, my brother, my younger cousin, and so on.

His family?

There are 15 people.

- There are 15 people? - So they gathered yesterday,

and they'll take out the bodies of those who had passed away.

And they replace the cloths that the bodies were wrapped in.

- Some people replaced them, - I see.

but they covered the old ones with new cloths.

Then this isn't a funeral. It's more like a festival for the dead.

It's like the ancestral rites we go and perform...

- on national holidays. - I see. It's like ancestral rites.

When they visit their families' graves, the way we do to show respect,

When they visit the grave, they take out the corpse.

They do it every 3 to 5 years.

Some people do it every seven years.

- And that was the case there. - They do it on odd-numbered years.

They manage many cases at once.

So you cover 15 corpses again today.

(Smiling)

Wouldn't it be rude for me to see that?

(Shaking his head)

It's not?

We're really happy that you're interested in our culture.

Thank you.

(They're thankful for each other.)

- Thank you. - It's not like they passed away just now,

so they're not too sad.

Famadihana is a ceremony to remember the deceased.

It's a joyful occasion where we remember and celebrate the happiness they gave us.

It sounds similar to Mexico's Day of the Dead.

(People meet the deceased in various parts of the world.)

Please come dance, eat, and celebrate with us.

Yes. It's a party.

Yes. Thank you.

Thanks.

(He follows him to the venue.)

They don't do one corpse.

They will handle 15 corpses.

(Murmuring)

I'm Korean. I'm from South Korea.

They didn't even ask.

"I don't bite."

(Nice to meet you.)

Hello.

(He says hello as he enters.)

(Exclaiming)

(Crowded)

(There's a festive vibe.)

- It does look like a festival. - Yes.

(He slowly goes in.)

(Welcome.)

(Sniffing)

It smells like a town festival.

The smell of alcohol and meat.

- Did it smell good? - Yes.

- It smelled like a party. - It smells the same.

(They're cooking in the back.)

It smells like a village festival.

You have a good nose.

It looks like they're selling something too.

I know.

The smell of a festival.

(You can feel the excitement...)

(at the festival venue.)

(Famadihana)

- Famadihana. - Famadihana.

(People of all ages and genders dance to pay tribute.)

- That's cute. - They're cute.

(It's different from our serious memorial ceremonies.)

(Famadihana is a way of joyfully welcoming the return of the deceased.)

- They're even wearing colorful outfits. - I know.

It's nice.

(Then one traveler joins them.)

Should I call that a military band?

They also had a band.

They're even playing music live.

- They're actually playing music. - They called a band.

It's not recorded music.

(They're dancing...)

(to the music.)

(Hesitating)

(Is it really okay to dance?)

To be honest, it wasn't like they were excited.

They seemed to be dancing to show respect.

Yes. There seems to be a heavy feeling.

Yes. It feels different from the dance at the ship launching party.

Yes. It's a little different.

It looked like a courtship dance at the ship launching party.

- The speed and the vibe are different. - Yes.

(Dancing in light steps)

There's sadness in his steps.

I wasn't excited.

Jean-Claude is dancing with me.

(Grinning broadly)

(He asked Kian84 to dance to celebrate.)

To celebrate by dancing.

(He's acting out what he said.)

His mood has lifted.

I should dance again.

I think I should dance a little...

to be polite as well.

He said having fun was the way to pay respect here.

(There you go.)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

(They get excited just by saying hello at the festival.)

(He blends in by dancing with them.)

(Laughing)

I shouldn't laugh at a funeral, but this is a little fun.

I'm excited. I'm happy.

- Crying or feeling down there... - I'm happy.

is considered highly disrespectful.

- You should have fun to be polite. - Yes.

Happy.

(The descendants are expressing respect with their entire bodies.)

- They all look happy, though. - Yes.

- No one is frowning. - I know.

Their ancestors must be happy.

Right.

That's the equivalent...

- of us bowing. - Right.

- We bow to our ancestors, - Yes.

and they dance to theirs.

This is my first time seeing a joyful way to pay tribute to the deceased.

(The descendants dance well to honor the deceased.)

(There's a Korean man dancing to express respect as well.)

He's warmed up now.

Here comes Dance84.

Gosh. Ancestors.

I hope you go to a good place.

(I hope you go to a good place.)

Right.

"Go to a good place."

That's true.

Go to a better place.

To a good place.

Ancestors.

Great work.

Rest in peace in the next world.

Be happy in the afterlife.

"Be happy in the afterlife?"

Leave behind the challenging world,

be happy in the afterlife.

Happy afterlife.

Go to a good place.

(This is so nice.)

Ancestors!

(Ancestors!)

(Screaming)

(Descendants, make some noise!)

Won't their ancestors spring to their feet?

Ancestors.

(He gets flustered by their enthusiasm.)

Go to a good place.

- Go to a better place. - Look how he twirls his hips.

- He must be excited. - To a good place.

(Don't worry. He's saying nice things.)

Be born again in paradise.

- "Be born again in paradise. - What?

(Paradise!)

To a worry-free afterlife.

Ancestors.

Ancestors.

Let's dance.

"Let's dance?" Goodness.

You were really shy at first, but now...

I gauged their mood and matched their energy level.

- He was being serious, though. - "This is the right way."

You were being genuine.

- That is not a problem. - Yes.

Go to a good place!

You should enjoy yourself...

to pay tribute to the ancestors here.

So I did my best dancing.

- Right. The atmosphere was like that. - I know.

They have to lighten up.

(It's a tragedy in long-shot,)

(but a comedy in close-up.)

- Right. - It does look like a party.

It's a festival.

(Famadihana is their way of embracing death positively.)

It's interesting.

Kian84 did a good job respecting the local culture...

- Yes. - by doing that.

Nice!

(He thanks Jean-Claude for inviting him.)

He thanked him again.

Nice.

- Yes. Good and love. - Good and love.

- That's true. - Thank you.

(There's one more round left.)

- The music is starting again. - Thank you.

No.

The second song is beginning.

(Where are you going?)

They're stopping him from leaving.

(He can't leave the dancing crowd.)

(Staggering)

His legs are giving out.

- He's about to dance again. - They have good stamina.

I'd been dancing for about ten minutes.

(He says he can't dance anymore.)

- I need to take a break. - Okay.

I almost died like my ancestors.

- That's rude. - How dare you.

- You can't say such a thing. - I mean...

It was scorching hot, so I was so tired.

- You must've been hot. - It was just like the summer in Korea.

- The weather in August. - It was that hot, and you danced.

(Leading the way)

Jean-Claude saved you.

Jean-Claude took good care of me.

I'm sweating.

(Beads of sweat)

How many hours do you dance like this?

We have a saying that when the drum beats,

- everyone moves. - That sounds so cool.

- That's really cool. - When the drum beats, everyone moves.

(It means they dance all day.)

They have great endurance.

He's indeed Jean-Claude Van Damme.

He's just like the movie star.

(He has the endurance to dance like an action movie actor.)

Anyway, I really hope your ancestors rest in peace.

Yes.

You must be hungry, so let's eat first.

Thank you.

- Eating is important. - Yes.

(He's taken to a place to eat.)

(He spots something.)

I should have a drink.

- Jean-Claude. - Can you buy drinks there?

- You... - Just a beer.

- Yes. - Just a beer.

- Beer. - Beer?

- Yes. - So that he gets more thrilled.

No. I'll have this.

The beer.

No. You mean, for yourself?

- You? - He asked me to buy him a beer.

You.

(He was offering himself a beer.)

Two?

He loves large bottles.

(Clicking)

You might break your teeth.

- Protect the rest of your teeth. - He broke one tooth.

Sir, can I use this?

(Come on.)

(Clicking)

(A free beer show)

That's impressive.

- Thank you. - "I paid for it with your money."

That was cool.

He's good at opening beers.

He opened it so smoothly.

He has the teeth of a Nile crocodile.

(He has amazingly strong teeth.)

His teeth are so strong.

(After enjoying a teeth show, he's off to eat.)

You may go first. I see.

It's the same as village festivals in Korea.

- It's crowded. - They eat here too.

(They feed the entire village.)

- They can eat until they're full. - Look at the rice.

It's just like the view at our uncle's place when I was a kid.

(It's similar to our village parties.)

They had a lot of guests that day,

so they prepared about 800 servings.

- They prepared 800 servings? - They prepared 800 servings?

When they have a party in my uncle's village,

people gather to slaughter a pig.

Older people in the village gather to eat.

I saw that kind of culture until I was in elementary school.

- In Yeoju? - In the countryside. Yes, Yeoju.

- Yeoju again. - At your uncle's place.

You look like the old man...

from a village near my uncle's.

(Mr. Jang from a nearby village)

Mr. Jang.

What clan of Jang are you?

(He feels close to Mr. Jang for some reason.)

You can go first.

Thanks for the meal.

- Look at the meat. - It's simply meat and rice.

- That looks good. - That's a lot of meat.

(They simmered it carefully.)

They must have simmered it.

Goodness.

- That's nice. It must be good. - They added meat.

Is it beef?

(He's about to try some.)

There were many flies.

(Even flies join him.)

I'm used to them.

There were lots of flies at my uncle's place when I was little.

When they sat on my food, I would just shoo them away.

Even if you eat that food, it's okay.

(Uncle84 is used to seeing flies.)

(He doesn't mind the flies and munches.)

(Humming)

(He can't stop eating.)

- He's digging it. - Yes.

He has good luck with food.

I think they only added salt.

- Okay. - They didn't add anything fancy.

It only had its original flavor.

(He takes a spoonful of rice.)

(He's filling his stomach as he was hungry from dancing.)

It's good.

He just said, "Enjoy."

Help yourself.

Did you grow this rice?

Yes.

They eat rice too.

My father's family also grew rice throughout their lives.

(They feel closer as they have something in common.)

It's tasty.

(The rice tastes better as he farmed it himself.)

- I felt like I should finish my food. - Right.

They say you should finish your food at a funeral.

Right.

He's cute.

What? Do you want some meat?

Come here.

Do you want to eat meat?

You should eat a lot of meat when you're little.

- He's adorable. - He's nice to the kid.

(Munching)

He's cute.

(He loves the meat that Kian84 tore off for him.)

It's tender.

(What?)

(They share food at the table in Madagascar.)

He's cute.

We'll dance again later, so eat a lot.

That's why he's feeding him.

You encourage me to eat a lot just like they do in the countryside.

Our grandparents do that.

Right. They ask why we've lost weight.

- They give you a lot of rice. - Right.

You're already eating, and they tell you to eat more.

(Mr. Jang has a kind heart.)

Thanks for the meal.

(He could have a hearty meal, thanks to his kindness.)

Thank you.

(Proud)

Personally, I'm most impressed...

by that band.

That band with red hats.

(The red hat band)

They...

have been playing that for two hours.

Everyone seems to have good stamina, whatever they do.

They'll leave to change the cloths soon.

You're here.

(Jean-Claude is back.)

You're back.

Jean-Claude, did you change?

- Since he's going to the grave. - New clothes.

- He's dressed up properly for it. - He changed.

- Their hats have the same color. - I know.

I look like I'm a member of his family.

It looks like each family is wearing matching outfits.

They seem to be wearing the same outfits because they're brothers.

They're brothers.

As if we wear black...

- for a funeral. - Just like mourning clothes.

- That's how to be polite there. - Right.

- Yes. - Everyone is wearing a hat too.

They wear matching outfits to show they're a family.

Jean-Claude, are you the youngest?

Yes.

As if he understood.

May I ask how old you are?

I'm 47.

He's 47.

He's older.

A close friend of mine is named Jun Hyun Moo.

He and Hyun Moo are the same age.

Is that so?

He's also wearing a hat.

(Then a group of people comes in.)

(Exclaiming)

I see.

- Their dad. - Oh, my.

They're holding the portrait of the deceased.

They prepare the portrait and a new cloths.

We're finally off to the grave.

I knew it.

(They're dancing there again.)

He must have digested the meat by now.

(They dance for their ancestors whenever they have time.)

They have so much energy.

You're such a good dancer.

His dance skills were recognized there.

(Dancing84 was recognized in Madagascar.)

(After dancing with him for a moment)

We're finally going.

(To give their ancestors new clothes)

They're leaving now.

(Off to the grave!)

- Gosh. They're still dancing. - They're dancing.

We should keep dancing on the way.

(They can't stop dancing on the move.)

Jean-Claude seems happy.

He's tired, but he keeps dancing...

- not to disappoint them. - I know.

(Ancestors,)

(I'm coming.)

Under the scorching sun, above 30°C.

(The sun can't stop him from being polite.)

(Hey!)

Hello.

(He offers a fist bump as he's proud of Kian84.)

(As they encourage each other,)

(the Famadihana parade proceeds cheerfully.)

(Dancing in the center)

He's taken over the center position.

(Is that a trending move?)

She's copying him.

The elderly are copying his moves.

(He leads the parade like the Pied Piper.)

(The band also gets excited.)

All right!

Ancestors.

We're here...

to give you a new cloths.

The AOMG artist is indeed different.

- He leads the crowd. - Yes.

(The music quiets down after a while.)

(Covered in sweat)

So we're not dancing until we arrive at the grave.

I'm saved.

There is...

probably no funeral ceremony that requires more stamina than this.

If you're in bad shape,

you can't have a funeral.

You can't pull it off. You need to be in shape.

What is it?

- It's a hearse. - A hearse.

Whose funeral is it going to?

It's not my family. It's someone in the village.

- I see. - Right.

Since it was a Famadihana period,

other families also held funeral ceremonies like Jean-Claude's family.

- They're holding funeral ceremonies. - Yes, they are.

- They have a period for that. - Like Chuseok.

It's part of their everyday life to them.

(You can see their mourning culture everywhere.)

It must cost a lot to do this every year.

Yes. It costs a lot.

Right. It must be expensive.

They should call a band and cook.

(From hiring a band...)

(to preparing food for hundreds of guests)

It's a festival for the village, so it requires a lot of money.

- You should invite lots of people too. - I can imagine.

I can imagine.

(They take a breather as they walk.)

(Looking around)

(A familiar landscape comes into view.)

- They're going to the mountains. - Yes.

(Thinking)

It's like how we visit our family's grave.

It looks similar to the way to the grave here.

It looks so similar.

Do we see a clip here again?

(It reminds us of our own way to our family's grave in the country.)

The whole family goes there, just like us.

- Their family is much bigger, though. - Yes.

(A familiar landscape)

Do you know what "seongmyo" is?

It is a custom we practice on holidays in Korea.

I see.

Goodness.

I found Yeoju...

in Madagascar.

(It's Yeoju again.)

- It's Yeoju again. - Sorry.

But I witnessed it.

It does look familiar.

- It is. - It's a global village...

no matter where you go.

Right, we're all connected.

(Tripping)

Watch your step.

Watch your step.

You almost got hurt, my friend.

Giggling.

All girls around the world are shy.

(Famadihana makes him feel as if he's home.)

You almost tripped. Giggling.

It's the band.

They need to take a break too.

Hello.

Hello.

Good music.

You have great lung capacity.

They have excellent lung capacity.

No wonder Africans...

set new records for the marathon every time.

Playing the trumpet is strenuous.

Right.

The entire country is full of strong individuals.

(They train their bodies in their everyday lives.)

(Getting close)

- Sir. - Yes?

He wants you to blow it?

- Do you know how to play it? - It's not that easy.

(Trying)

(Laughing)

(Blowing)

(His face is about to burst.)

(His face looks charming.)

They're loving it.

One more.

(Inhaling)

(He gives them an encore.)

This is so tiring.

(They're entertained by him.)

Maybe it was because I was used to the vibe,

but it felt like we were bonding.

It felt like visiting my grandparents in the countryside...

and attending a village festival. It was exactly the same.

It was like seeing...

adults, residents from villages nearby,

and relatives.

How endearing.

That's so hard.

(Embraced by their warmth, he keeps marching forward.)

They're digging a hole.

- Is that the grave? - Yes.

They need to make sure...

not to taint the body.

- It's huge. - So it takes some time.

(They stop in front of the grave.)

Dig the grave.

(The music stops.)

(Then it begins once again.)

(He reacts right away.)

We're finally here.

- What's going on? - The drums are playing.

They need to dance whenever they hear the drums.

They need to keep up the mood,

or their ancestors will get upset.

(Shouting)

(They dance without stopping.)

Swag!

Ancestors' swag!

This is their etiquette.

It'd be rude...

to look gloomy during the funeral.

So...

(Dancing)

(He's extremely polite.)

(That's it!)

(It's the Famadihana etiquette to enjoy the funeral.)

(Thanks to everyone dancing dynamically,)

(the bereaved family picks up the pace.)

They were digging the entire time.

- You guys were cheering for them. - It's like a work song.

I see.

(He screams at the top of his lungs.)

You're getting more and more ecstatic as they open the grave.

(The door to the grave finally opens.)

(Everyone stops dancing.)

You gave it your all to stay polite.

Bravo.

(Exhausted)

It took a very long time.

(Amazed)

(The door is wide open by the end of the dance.)

The grave is very spacious.

- It's very wide. - It must be extremely spacious.

- It reminds me of a pyramid. - Me too.

It's like a huge hole underground.

They made a basement...

so they could lay their ancestors to rest.

- So that none of them would get harmed. - Right.

Seeing how there's a door and a flight of steps,

they must've designed it...

so that they could gain access easily.

- Right. - I think that's why.

Also, they have to tell the government office in advance...

before carrying out Famadihana.

It's very systematic.

(The steps lead to the inside of the grave.)

- There are steps. - There are steps.

Now...

The villagers went inside.

(They'll take the bodies out to change their cloths.)

They're going to carry out...

the bodies.

(Jean-Claude)

(They enter the grave one by one.)

(He's very focused.)

(He carefully brings out a body.)

Like that?

(It's been 7 years.)

(They're finally reunited with their family.)

(He's amazed.)

(They continue carrying out the bodies.)

(The bereaved family...)

(happily greets the bodies.)

They look very happy to meet their family members again.

It's really...

They're dancing amid the bodies.

They're bringing out another body.

(Another body appears.)

(This small body...)

(is reunited with their family.)

Goodness.

I guess some families are sad.

Is she the daughter? She's getting teary-eyed.

(He carefully approaches them.)

She's crying.

(She caresses the small body.)

She's crying.

I think that was her child.

Something strange happened.

There was a woman in yellow.

She snatched one of the bodies and started crying.

I realized...

that they weren't truly happy.

They were just trying to maintain that vibe.

Those who lost their beloveds were still grieving.

(They were also mourning.)

(They had just buried their longing feelings deep down.)

(The emotions consume them.)

(He gives them space...)

(because he knows this moment...)

(is very precious to the bereaved families.)

They won't be able to meet...

for another 3 or 5 years.

The bodies are all wrapped.

How should I put it?

But they still touch and embrace them.

(The bereaved families touch and embrace...)

(the wrapped bodies.)

They want to touch them because they miss them.

They must've waited for that day for the past seven years.

Right.

- They must've missed their child so much. - Of course.

I'm not sure if this is the right expression,

but when your family comes to visit you during your military service,

you spend some time together.

You put down a picnic blanket and eat some good food and stuff.

I think they're having a moment like that.

It's not done in a formal way.

(They express their longing in this way.)

(The music starts again.)

(The mood is still very cheerful,)

(but you can feel the love within that moment now.)

Oh, they must be changing the cloths now.

(Jean-Claude's family prepares a clean cloth.)

(After a short meeting,)

(they write down the name they long for with much care.)

(It is their own way of saying goodbye to their loved one.)

(They dress the deceased in the cleanest and best clothing...)

(and express their love for a long while.)

Well, it was...

In Korea,

when we go to someone's grave or the charnel house,

we can't touch the deceased.

All you can do is look at their picture...

or look at the urn. That's it.

But here, they had physical contact.

It felt as though the deceased was still in between...

this world and the next.

(On the boundary between life and death...)

They hugged the body and just stayed like that for a while.

They were crying and saying stuff.

Taking out the body...

and the family crying as they touched the body was...

How should I put it?

The culture itself felt more instinctive.

It felt like they were being true to nature.

(We may have different methods,)

(We may have different methods,)

(but saying goodbye to a loved one feels the same way to us all.)

(but saying goodbye to a loved one feels the same way to us all.)

(They hug the body as much as they want...)

(and cry.)

(Sometimes, they dance and laugh...)

(as they accept death in their own ways.)

Grieving together in a crowd like that...

must feel less lonely.

(It must feel less lonely for those left behind.)

- And that music is to cheer people up. - Right.

It's to console the family.

They don't consider the deceased to have left this world for the next.

- They're still here. - Still together.

(They are still here with us.)

It's as if they're trying to suppress their sadness.

It makes me feel a mix of emotions.

By the way, it's pouring rain.

- The rain is pouring down. - It happens to be raining too.

(It has started to rain.)

The mood may seem like a party,

(Like the whirlwind of emotions that are pouring down,)

the sky is raining as though it is sad.

(the sky is sending down rain.)

It's raining hard in the distance over there.

Perhaps... I mean, one day I will also pass...

as well as all of you too.

- A funeral like this would be nice. - I thought of that too.

- Me too. - I wish people would come to see me...

like that when I die.

In a cheerful way. There's no need for it to be so heavy.

I'd prefer my funeral to be like this.

- Cheerful? Like a party? - Yes.

But the essence was the same.

- Right, it's just a different method. - The essence was...

- It's just a different send-off. - The essence was the same.

This kind of funeral was...

It was different.

Jean-Claude.

(It's now time to say goodbye to Jean-Claude too.)

I want to thank you...

for inviting me today when it's not an easy occasion.

Thank you for coming and spending time with my family. It brought us much joy.

Right.

In Korea, when we go to funerals, we pay condolence money.

I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but...

He prepared it earlier.

It's not a lot of money, but I'd like to give you this.

A funeral is a very private matter, but he let me see this.

- I wanted to thank him once again. - We're grateful too.

I haven't been here long,

but out of all the people I've met in Madagascar,

he has the kindest face.

He feels like a cousin from my hometown.

(A short but heartwarming meeting)

I wish you good luck, Jean-Claude.

(Good luck to you too, Brother.)

- He's smiling so brightly. - Jean-Claude.

Bye.

Good luck.

Thank you.

(They share a long hug.)

Thank you so much.

Bye.

(Goodbye)

Gosh, it's raining so much.

But what's fascinating about people is this.

There are some people that feel awkward even after spending a long time together.

But why does Jean-Claude feel so familiar?

You shared the same emotions at that funeral.

That's right.

Now, they change the cloth, place the body in the grave, and...

- And they bury the body. - Right, they bury the body.

Do they have to wait several years again?

The day they meet again...

- must be different for each family. - It must be a while.

Oh, thank you.

(Kian84 returns to the car.)

You must've waited for a while.

How was the Famadihana?

One difference is that Korean people cry at funerals.

Madagascar people seemed happy.

- Yes? - Yes.

I think it's a very good culture.

- Yes. - It's a very good culture, I think.

(And...)

Here, the villagers are...

- very warm. - Warm.

They're very warm-hearted.

(They had such warm hearts.)

(For a stranger from a faraway land,)

(they let him blend into their lives as if he were part of the family.)

(The Famadihana was warm even for a stranger.)

(The time here...)

(will be a lasting memory.)

(The three brothers gather again and head to an amusement park!)

(Flustered84)

(Welcome to...)

(Madagascar Land?)

(A new concept of a manually operated ride)

(At ease)

(The three brothers experience a dopamine rush.)

(It's spinning!)

(The eldest is exhausted down to his soul.)

(I want to climb up here.)

(Has the second eldest found his calling?)

(Gosh, what a rush.)

(That was the most fun!)

(And this will show them what a true rush is like.)

(The stage of the strongest people in Madagascar)

(Savika!)

(Bull versus humans)

(A sensational match)

(Exclaiming)

(Exclaiming)

(When the three brothers are in a daze after the bullfight,)

(a hidden colleague appears to save his younger brothers.)

(The youngest is frozen.)

(The last colleague will join them, and the four brothers will unite!)
