Think we can book this?

Please look at your phone screen
and select your option.

Additional data charges may apply
if you don’t wish to proceed…

You have unlimited data, right?

I don’t get it.

Why'd you hang up?

I couldn’t… quite understand, haha!

Doesn’t that miss the point?

How so?

- This is just like, hey!
- I said I wouldn’t use the app.

- No, it’s not that.
- This isn’t even an app.

Isn’t the point not to rely on tech like this?

I watched the show.

Isn’t that exactly the vibe, Jung-min?

- That’s what I mean.
- I just said no apps. This isn’t one.

I don’t know, you guys fight it out.

[One rainy September day...]

[Four people gathered for a no-app trip]

[The plan? There really isn’t one]

[Just here to chat and hang out]

[Here’s the story behind this trip]
And this…

[Catch it on "Rainy Season is just an excuse"]
Punghyanggo?

[What’s Punghyanggo?]

- It’s just an excuse, Pinggyego.
- Oh! Pinggyego.

Okay, enough, man!

[Pinggyego!]
This guy, seriously.

[A hot September day...]
It’s still summer here.

I’m so hot right now.

[Seokjin] Haha!

[Staff] He's in a great mood coming up. Haha!

Well, because we’re getting a free meal today.

Right!

Since they’re covering this, you know.

[Seoksam's happy entrance]
Hey, nice to see you!

Seoksam, my man.

Why are just nobodies here?

Weak.

[Playful teasing as they reunite]

- Just nobodies?
- As weak as you, maybe.

So, should we order something while we’re here?

[Early arrival, pre-order time]
Yeah, can we start eating?

We can order more when Jung-min gets here.

What’s this place known for? Anything good?

Here? They’ve got gukbap and

[Obviously not a gukbap place]
also seolleongtang.

[Okay, fine]
I’ll have suyuk and pajeon.

[Done with the jokes]
They’ve got sandwiches and pasta, too.

Pasta! I’m into that.

They’ve got aglio e olio pasta.

[Footsteps]
Oh, that sounds good.

Big star just arrived!

[Ready to take the order]
No, no, bro.

- Hi there!
- This guy is a staff here.

One chicken sandwich, please.

[Coffee and main orders complete]
Let’s go with that.

[Aglio e olio, spicy pasta, chicken sandwich]

[Jung-min arrives just in time]
Hey, man.

Big star.

[The big brothers already go way back]

[Seokjin and I used
to hang out and goof around a lot]

You look cool, man.

[Se Chan, chatting away during the rainy season]
Hello, Jung-min!

You skipped breakfast, right?

[Early morning meetup]
Nope, didn’t eat.

[Handing over the menu]
We ordered a few things already.

[Gearing up]

Hahaha!

I can’t see anything like this…

You see it?

You see it?

[Changing target]
Never mind.

What about this, you got it?

We ordered the chicken sandwich.

This is fun. I love that laid-back vibe.

[Confession]
Honestly, even if I can’t see

I pretend like I do.

[Putting it back on]
We ordered the chicken sandwich.

[Recap of ordered menu]
We got the spicy tomato pasta.

Tomato pasta… so it’s got broth?

[Not for hangover relief]
It’s a bit like spicy pasta, so yeah.

Nice!

- Should we get one more?
- Yeah, let’s add it.

[Sudden suggestion]
What about tteokbokki?

One sesame leaf tteokbokki.

Sesame leaf tteokbokki?

[Oops]
You’re getting an Americano, right?

Alright, one Americano.

One Americano, please.

- And then…
- Or wait...

- Tomato spicy pasta…
- No, no, no, what’s that?

[Switching it up]
We ordered that, so just get the tteokbokki.

[Extra request]
Yeah, one tteokbokki for the center.

[Confusion]
You order it, bro.

[Staff] Tteokbokki and…

- No, not the spicy one.
- One more spicy, please.

- Order the spicy!
- Too much!

Too much? Cancel the tteokbokki, then.

[Peacemakers stepping in]
No, it’s not too much.

We can finish it all.

- We can finish it all.
- Really?

[Quickly placing order]
One more tomato.

[Settling the one-per-person debate]
And one tteokbokki.

And one Americano, please.

- Regular iced Americano, right?
- Yes, thanks.

It’s just one tteokbokki in the middle.
We can eat it all.

[And here we go again]

But honestly, there’ll be leftovers.

[Ordered quickly to keep things moving
but Jae Seok's always Team Jung-min]

Of course, there’ll be leftovers.
Are we scraping it all clean?

We’ll probably leave some!

[Not entirely wrong]

- When you’re eating, don’t you just…
- I mean, it’s what you said.

- I try not to waste.
- Eat every bit?

Is this temple dining?

Right, Jung-min?

[Enemies a minute ago, allies now]
Yeah, there’s always a bit left.

[Firmly Team Seokjin]
Yeah, some’ll be left.

As long as it’s not too much.

I mean, when you order
is it like this every time?

- You always get one more?
- I do, that’s my style.

[Orders extra to share for more variety]
That’s just how he orders.

You go by headcount?

I do! Honestly, I’m not picky about food.

[Just enough to fill up]
I just need enough to feel full.

- Yeah, you’ve said that before.
- Just like Jong Kook.

So, if it’s there, I eat.
If it’s not, it doesn’t matter.

[Totally indifferent]
I don’t really care.

Just that much.

Doesn’t matter if it’s bland or salty?

Doesn’t matter to me.

So… maybe you should enjoy it more?

Enjoy it?

[Communication issues]

- Like, what…
- Jung-min! Look!

You guys haven’t met in a while, right?

- No, no!
- It’s been a while.

- We saw each other at the show.
- But aside from that…

[Big brothers']
Listen to what I’m saying.

[Comedic, slight misalignment]
It’s been ages since we’ve really talked.

[No need to be surprised]
Jung-min, just hear me out.

[Good luck getting along on the trip!]
What do you mean by enjoying it…

When I say enjoy it…

This trip isn’t gonna work out.

It’s a mess, honestly.

[Minor spoiler]
It’s gonna take two hours just to eat.

Just to pick the menu.

This isn’t looking good.

[Losing confidence, trip committee chair]

[Clashing continues]
At least one meal

[Trying to promote a good meal]
should be filling and tasty.

Isn’t it worth it to eat well?

[Trying to understand]
That’s my thinking.

So, what did you eat today?

Huh?

[Insisting on eating well]
What did you have today?

[Fidgeting]
Why’re you asking that…

[Seoksam, the king of fakes in Korea]

Peanut butter…

- Peanut butter?
- On bread.

[Pinggyego!]

- Right.
- This is too funny.

[Settling on respecting each other’s preferences]
He’s just about filling up.

That kind of style.

[Next preference topic]
Do you usually have breakfast?

[Always have breakfast?]
I do.

You eat it as brunch, I guess.

Isn’t it common to skip breakfast?

Do you skip breakfast?

[Breakfast skipper]
I don’t eat breakfast.

[Must-have breakfast person]
I always eat breakfast.

- First thing when you wake up?
- What do you eat?

Whatever’s in the fridge.

Today, it was just grilled fish.

[You had grilled fish for breakfast?]
Yeah, grilled fish.

You had fish and you’re eating again?

- Wow.
- Yep, grilled fish for breakfast.

[Skipped breakfast]
[Had a full breakfast]

- So you’re a breakfast eater.
- I eat breakfast.

Once you get in the habit…
Do you really never eat it?

What time do you usually have your first meal?

It doesn’t really matter to me.

Usually around noon or 1 p.m., as brunch.

Or if it’s late, around 3 or 4 p.m.

[Seeing a future problem…]
Here’s how I see it.

If we go on a trip

some eat breakfast, some don’t.

I mean, for me… it doesn’t matter.

I can eat or not eat.

He’d be picky, though, right? Haha!

[Burst of laughter]
Seokjin, though…

[Whish]
Hey, Jung-min.

[Imagining the future]
"What’s this for breakfast?" and all that.

If I'm eating, it better be good.

[Second communication struggle]
It better be good.

[Mediator steps in again]
It’s fine either way. Eat or don’t.

[Not just filling up]
But a meal should feel like a proper meal.

It’s gotta be decent, you know?

[Communication success]
It should taste good.

[Seokjin prefers a tasty meal]
No half-hearted meals.

You don’t just eat whatever.

[Checking on the youngest]
SsaebSsaeb, how about you?

I have to eat something as soon as I wake up.

Since I go like 12 hours without eating overnight.

[Always hungry right after waking up]
I’m starving.

We don’t even know how many days we’re staying.

We could just go and come right back.

- Why!
- Why?

We’re going without that.

[Three things missing at Punghyanggo]
Wait, what was it?

[Apps, reservations, and plans]
Like phone apps and stuff?

- Right.
- So no apps.

[Finally getting to the point]
The reason we’re here today

we should decide where exactly we are headed.

[Some things should be planned]
And like you said, above all

[One thing’s clear]
we’re not using any apps.

True.

- Reservation apps.
- What’s an app?

We can still use our phones, right?

No, we can’t.

- We can still use our phones, right?
- No phones at all?

None at all?

[Today’s meeting is for clarifying these rules]
We’ll still need phones to call.

No phones at all?

I mean, calling is fine, but…

["Here’s the coffee you ordered"]
Light Americano.

Yep, that’s mine. Over here.

- I’ll give you this first.
- Thanks.

Oh, thank you.

Are you more of a spontaneous traveler?

I’m a "P"! A "P" type!

[Straying from the topic again…
Getting to know each other]

He’s probably not a "P."

I’m a "P" too.

[All three comedians here are no-plans types]
You’re a "P," like me, same MBTI.

[Blinking]
So, what’s yours?

The last letter of it.

- "J" is for planners, "P" is…
- Look at that face.

It’s not a test.

- Jung-min, your expression haha!
- Relax, man.

You forgot your MBTI, right?

You’ve got one. I’ll search it.

I'm thinking hard. No idea what it is.

It said I'm ISFJ.

[Among free-spirited "P"s, the one and only "J"]

- So you’re a planner.
- Guess you’re the only planner here.

So, are you a planner?

- I don’t think so?
- Right.

Maybe just a bit…

I’m not one to just head somewhere without a plan!

You know what? A total "P"

just wing it.

Like, "Oh, let’s eat here."

Then we eat. That’s my style.

Yeah, I’m kind of like that too.

You know how some people…

Find a must-eat place on a trip…

[Definitely not this type]
I’m not really that type.

Like specific times…

I hate waiting in line for food the most.

- Same!
- You and me both!

[Only one person here
willing to wait for a famous spot]

I’d wait in line, though.

[Trying to convince]
But it’s really good.

Like, if you’re abroad somewhere

[Even for a must-try spot?]
and it's a place you have to try before you die.

You wouldn’t line up?

I’d eat it before I die.

Oh, really?

[Feeling lonely]
So no waiting in line, huh?

I mean, as long as I’m alive, I’ll skip it.

Plus, sometimes those places are disappointing.

Waited an hour, and it wasn’t even good.

[Leaving a bit of room for compromise]
I don’t mind waiting a bit.

- That's fine.
- Like if I'm with friends or we all go together?

Then I’d wait.

But if I’m alone? I don't wait.

I’d just go eat somewhere else.

- Or just grab a burger.
- I’d at least try to convince you.

A burger? No way…

Because, like you Jung-min, I think that

[Adding another to the just-fill-up crew]
I just need one meal to get by.

Food-wise, these two are actually similar.

I just go with the loudest one.

[Gyegukji, you'll all]
And you’re just…

[remember this one day]
If they say let’s go, then I go.

- Alright then.
- So you’re into group decisions.

If everyone’s down, you go eat?

Then I eat.

Like, if you’re louder?

I’ll just follow you.

[To put it simply]
So you follow the most obnoxious one?

The one who's the biggest nusiance! Haha!

[Prefers avoiding the noise]
Just go eat.

[Giving up]
Fine, fine! Okay, let’s go.

[Feeling optimistic]
I think things are gonna go my way.

Yeah, same here, just…

"If it’s like that, fine, I’ll go."

[Already sensing future struggles]
Eating's not gonna be easy, not at all.

["Jung-min needs Korean food to survive"]
Do you eat Korean food abroad?

[Quote: Gyewon Lee Sung-min]
Yeah.

Hmm, this is kinda…

But after talking it over today

we need to check if this trip is even possible!

[We didn't know each other well enough…]

We need to discuss it fully.

Guess this kind of meeting was necessary!

We need a pre-trip meeting
just to decide if we’re even going.

[The big brothers’ pasta choice]
It’s not set in stone yet.

As we’re talking…

[Pauses here and there]
We suddenly go "Huh?"

Like Jung-min did a few times, going "Huh?"

[Strictly team Korean food]
Some people are like that.

Oh, so that’s Jung-min.

Doesn’t matter how long the trip is, but

[For month-long shoots abroad]
a month or two is…

I mostly cook for myself.

Oh, even abroad?

I go grocery shopping there.

[Memory jogged]
I cook my own food.

- Everybody says Jung-min’s good at cooking.
- Really?

I'm confident in my steamed fish.

[Mumbling]
Steamed fish?

Steamed dishes, spicy fish soup
that kind of thing.

Where’d you learn that?

Didn’t really learn it anywhere.

Just started fishing as a kid, so…

[A chef raised on humble roots]

[Handy for overseas trips]
For example…

[Sharing simple recipe]
Just…

If there’s a whole chicken at the store

- just add garlic and boil it!
- Boil it! So good!

Boil it like crazy.

Then it becomes a whole chicken soup.

[On the same wavelength]
Just add a bit of salt.

Yep, just a bit of salt.

We don’t know where we’re going yet

but let’s have you cook at least one meal.

[Slurp]
Sounds good.

Because honestly, Se Chan’s good at cooking too.

[Se Chan will assist the main chef]
I can just be your helper.

[Sharing another recipe]
And also…

If you buy kimchi any leftovers
start to go sour, right?

Just leave it out at room temperature
for a couple days.

- It’ll be perfectly fermented.
- Just fully sour.

Then, when you’re abroad

you can find fish at the market
like snapper or something.

Grab one, slice it, layer it over radish.

[Getting into it]
And just boil it!

Add some water and seasoning.

[Rustic but guaranteed tasty recipe]
Season it, and it’s delicious.

Really?

Wow… I never thought of adding fish to it.

Well, you’d eat well
so I guess it doesn’t matter.

Hehe...

Haha!

Was that a jab at him?

Haha, yeah.

Nah, not really.

[Commentator voice]
That jab just landed on your nose!

[Spoiler alert]
Jung-min and I…

Oh man, trouble’s brewing.

[Bickering brothers incoming]
We’re not a great match.

But where are we going?

- That’s what we need to decide.
- Domestic or international?

- Since we’re here...
- We should go abroad.

[First agenda: Where to go?]
Since we’re all here

[Booking flights without an app in advance]
we need to decide that, too.

[Possible itinerary pre-checked: 3 days, 2 nights]
Our schedule looks like 3 days, 2 nights.

That’s it?

- Can’t we stretch it?
- Really? Just 2 nights?

With just 3 days, there aren’t many options.

We’d need flights under 5 hours.

But Jung-min said

[My idea?]
not too long of a trip.

We need to try it once to know.

[A trial run of a no-app trip]
After this trip, we’ll see.

[Long trips]
It costs more, too.

[Thinking while enjoying pasta]
True.

- Is there a group fee, too?
- Then…

Of course there is.

Definitely.

[If it’s too pricey]
Then let’s stay domestic.

Domestic?

But aren’t we not using any apps?

If we stay domestic, everything works…

Since we understand the language
it’d be easier, isn't it?

[That's a we-need-no-apps trip…]

But our original plan was going abroad.

- It was?
- Yeah, it was.

[A better idea surfaces]
So with 3 days, let’s keep it simple.

If we’re keeping it easy

we could go to Brazil.

Get off the plane and turn right back.
That’s 3 days!

[Need-no-app trip, ver.2]
Brazil?

[Tempted]
I’d like to visit Brazil.

Haven’t you been?

Just sleep on the plane, get to the airport

yell "Samba!" and come back.

[And that’s the end of a 3-day trip]
That’d be a 3-day trip!

So normally for Brazil, you go through L.A. first.

[No direct flights, only layovers]
You wait in L.A. for a bit

[At least 25 hours one way]
then take another flight from there.

- Have you been to Brazil?
- Yeah, I have.

How did you… oh, for work?

- How long were you there?
- Went for the 2014 World Cup.

Spent most of the time on the plane, though.

For a 3-day trip, there are only set places.

[Considering the schedule]
You say there are set places.

[Realistic destinations?]
Where are we going, then?

[Not just airport hopping]
Gotta get some real sightseeing in.

So, we’d need a flight under 4 hours.

[Southeast Asia sounds likely]
Something within 4 hours, right?

Southeast Asia, probably.

- Honestly...
- Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam.

I’d love to go somewhere like Cuba or Rome.

Malaysia’s too far… Jakarta’s 6 hours.

- That wouldn’t work.
- Jakarta’s over 6 hours.

- Vietnam’s fun.
- Oh? You’ve been, right?

[On SsookSsook’s channel]
Yeah, I went recently.

[Visited Kwang Soo in Ho Chi Minh]
Went to Ho Chi Minh.

Oh yeah, he just…

Kwang Soo’s in Vietnam right now.

He’s shooting a movie there.

He lives there?

- Not living there.
- Just there for the movie.

Really?

- Ah.
- Shooting a local Vietnamese movie.

[Excited]
See? We’re not the only ones!

Look, Jung-min thought

Kwang Soo had moved to Vietnam.

[As of upload, he’s back in Korea]
People think he moved.

He’s just there filming.

Have you been to Vietnam?

No, haven’t been.

Never been to Vietnam?

Haven’t gone.

Then it might be good to check it out.

What about besides Vietnam?

Thailand, Philippines.

And next?

Laos!

[4 hrs 40 mins one way, none have been to Laos]
Never been to Laos.

That’s where those
three countries meet… right there.

Golden Triangle.

[A mountainous area where Thailand, Myanmar
and Laos meet along the Mekong River]

It’s pretty famous.

[Travel advisory as of Jan 2024]
But Golden Triangle…

[Level 4 travel advisory (Do Not Travel)]
I don’t think tourists can go there.

[Quickly moving on]
Southeast Asia has plenty of places.

[Still before the trip, so searching is okay]
Let me give you

[Recommended search results]
a list of Southeast Asia.

[Bangkok, Thailand (5 hrs 40 mins one way)]
There’s Bangkok.

- Thailand.
- Yeah, Bangkok.

[2 hrs 30 mins one way]
Taiwan, Taipei.

[4 hrs 35 mins one way / 4 hrs]
Da Nang, Vietnam. Manila, Philippines.

[5 hrs 50 mins one way]
Singapore.

[4 hrs 25 mins]
Cebu, Philippines.

[5 hrs 10 mins]
Next, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.

[6 hrs 20 mins / 4 hrs 25 mins]
Phuket, Thailand. Hanoi, Vietnam.

Phuket’s far…

[4 hrs 5 mins]
Boracay, Philippines.

We’re not trying to do a honeymoon trip.

My honeymoon was actually in Phuket.

[6 hrs 55 mins / 5 hrs 10 mins]
There’s also Bali, Indonesia, and Kota Kinabalu.

Indonesia…

[Running Man fan meet]
Flights to Indonesia…

- We just went recently.
- It’s a 6-hour flight.

- Like 6 to 7 hours.
- Pretty long.

- Just as you said.
- Yeah, we went recently.

[5 hrs 25 mins / 2 hrs 55 mins]
Chiang Mai, Thailand. Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

Kaohsiung’s popular lately.

It’s like Busan. If Taipei’s Seoul…

[4 hrs 25 mins]
Bohol, Philippines.

[Briefing ends with no standout choice]
That’s about the vibe now.

Heard Vietnam

has a Switzerland.

- Switzerland of Vietnam?
- Yeah.

[Gyeju has said he’d like to visit]
Heard of it?

["Switzerland" before]
Ohh, Da Lat?

- Da Lat, Da Lat.
- Da Lat?

Da Lat… like the "Dollar" you’re talking about?

[Search: Vietnam’s Switzerland]
It’s called Da Lat.

No, it's Sapa.

[Triggered a memory]
Yeah, I heard of that.

They say there’s a "Switzerland" in Vietnam.

Why?

Like, does it snow there?

[In the northern mountains of Vietnam]
Just has a Swiss vibe.

[Sapa is called the "Switzerland of Vietnam"]
They say there's beautiful.

Stunning views, they say.

The hotels… I saw it on YouTube.

[Vast landscape]
Open the window, and it’s all jungle.

[Famous for its terraced rice fields]
Yeah, that’s Sapa.

But I think it’d be quite a trek to get there.

[City-loving group]
For this trip

aren’t we supposed to interact with people?

But Seokjin, you speak a bit of English.

- Hey, with just this…
- This is all I need!

[Introducing advanced tech to Jung-min]
For foreign language, you can now use…

What’s this?

It translates English, Vietnamese
Indonesian, everything!

Honestly, confidence is all you need
with foreign languages.

People understand if you just speak in Korean.

- Huh?
- They get it.

Well, that’s a bit…

If I’m ordering a beer…

[Using body language and gestures]
Like, "One more beer, please."

That’s what they call Ugly Korean.

[Ugly Korean issue arises]

Back in the early ‘90s
when travelling became allowed

the news talked about "Ugly Koreans."

[Example]
Hey! Hey!

[This is different, though!]
I wouldn't shout like that.

[Funny Korean]
I’m not Ugly.

[Eating Korean]

[It’s about tone, not language]
Like, "One more, please."

Without even saying "please."

[Reintroducing the gadget after Ugly Korean issue]
Look, here’s the English translator.

[Needs equipment to see it]
What do you want to say?

Where are you going?

Look, it came out, "Where are going?"

Now try speaking here in Korean.

[Sad Jung-min, not understanding the gadget]
Go ahead.

[Drooping eyebrows]
He can’t see it!

[Translation appears]
"Where are we going?"

Come on in, Jang-guk-go. What do you think?

[Our chat got misinterpreted]
Everything we said got translated.

So I think we’re good for language!

- But isn’t that an app?
- It’s an app?

Huh? It’s not an app. It’s…

It’s just built-in here.

[Opposing team jumps in]
Then we can’t use it.

From SAMSUNG!

It has an AI translation feature.

That goes against the plan.

Why’s that?

- It’s just like, hey!
- We said no apps.

[What counts as an "app?"]
But this isn’t an app.

Isn’t the point not to rely on tech like this?

I watched the show. Isn’t that the vibe, Jung-min?

- That’s what it’s about.
- We said no apps, but this isn’t…

I don’t know, you guys fight it out.

[I’ll follow whoever’s louder]

- No, right?
- Not allowed?

[Definition of "app"]
We agreed not to rely on gadgets.

[Programs designed]

[for user convenience in OS systems]
Just roll with it.

[Standard term: "application"]
But this one is a bit…

We'll work something out.

Just play rock-paper-scissors.
The loser goes and asks.

This tteokbokki’s so good.

[For someone so confident]
Then why does the loser go ask?

[Let’s just laugh and eat!]

Honestly…

Commonly, restaurant have pictures on the menu…

What if they don’t?

[Alright]
Some places don’t have pictures.

Then I’d ask, "Picture menu, please?"

They’ll bring it out.

No picture.

What if they say no picture?

Your tone changed after Ugly Korean!

[Tone dripping with sweetness]
All you're doing is keeping the tone low!

[Too funny]

[Explanation needed]
Why’d your tone change after Ugly Korean?

- It got so nice.
- Yeah, it got better.

So within 4 hours, then…

[Se Chan recommends SsookSsook’s suggestion]
Personally, I’d suggest…

[Vietnam recommendation]
Vietnam’s not bad.

[Decision made]
Let’s go to Vietnam, then.

[Decision confirmed]
Alright, Vietnam it is.

[Second agenda]
Which part of Vietnam?

[Where in Vietnam?]
We need to pick between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh.

Or how about the place I mentioned earlier?

- Where? Sapa?
- Sapa.

- Vietnam’s Switzerland.
- But there’s no direct flight.

You’d have to drive an hour after landing.

Land, then take a car.

How long does it take to get to Sapa?

- You land in Hanoi
- I’m in!

- and then you’ll need another ride.
- So it’s a long way.

Just search it.

Doesn’t it show on the navigation?

[Jung-min without bias]

- Didn’t we say no to that stuff?
- I’ll check TMAP.

Already relying on that, huh? Haha!

Navigation is not allowed.

Asking for directions…

That’s the same as asking!

It’s like asking the producer.

- Asking here is the same!
- Asking’s okay!

- Oh, asking’s allowed?
- Asking’s okay.

[Busily searching]
We can ask locals when we’re there.

The producer is just looking it up for us, right?

[Agreed that asking is fine]
Asking is allowed.

[Search complete]
Sapa’s popular for 3-day trips.

[Intrigued since it’s popular]
Really?

[How to get to Sapa from Hanoi]
So, you’d land in Hanoi

[5+ hour trip to reach destination]
then there’s a pickup service.

[Usually a sleeper train]
By car?

[Or bus, minivan, etc.]
Yeah.

It’s a journey from Hanoi to Sapa.

It’s beautiful, but wouldn’t it be
better to stay in the city?

But we…

Alright, everyone, our viewers Gyewon…

You’re watching us look this up, but…

Travel info like this is fine to check, right?

Yeah, this should be fine.

Before you go, sure.

[Looking up info about the destination
before leaving is allowed]

Maybe we’ll need to buy some travel books.

Travel books?

- Who buys books anymore?
- You can look it up…

- Just go with the flow!
- No searching, remember?

[No searching allowed during the trip]
Don’t worry.

So we’ll do our research beforehand…

Then just ask people when we’re there?

[Ask on-site vs. memorize everything beforehand]
Just memorize it.

- Alright, just settle on this.
- I’m not the book type.

So today, we’re deciding, Vietnam! And Sapa!

- Just remember that and go.
- He's already not feeling Sapa.

Then we're going without him! Haha!

- You’re not going?
- No, it’s not that…

It’s a great place, but…

Then he'll definitely go!

[No exceptions with Gyeju]
If you tell him don’t go, he'll go.

[Only the strong survive at Punghyanggo]
Leave all the fluff behind.

No, that’s not it.

Shouldn’t we agree on this as a group of four?

But are you guys okay with it?

With what?

[Running Man cast]
Won’t Vietnam be uncomfortable?

[Running Man’s popularity]
It’s…

[Worried about being recognized]
really popular.

I was in Ho Chi Minh recently
and it was totally fine.

We’re not on that level, though.

People don’t really know me.

Come on!

I don’t mind, but…

Vecause Running Man is really popular there.

There are fans of Running Man, sure…

[It’s only for filming purposes]
They’re there because we’re filming.

[Not as big a deal as it sounds]
It’s not like they’re always there.

They’re busy too, you know.

When we actually go…

You’re famous over there too, right?

Yeah, I guess so.

[Answered without hesitation]

He invites local companies.

- With security and all.
- For real?

He arranges it.

- To look more popular.
- Seriously?

He does some local PR.

Come on, you know it’s just kidding.

But hey, impressive!

[Se Chan explains the info he found]
So here’s what I found…

Here’s what I can tell you.

First, after arriving in Hanoi

we take a sleeping bus.

- See? Sleeping means you sleep on it!
- But while riding

I thought I was seeing it wrong.

We start with a 3-hour drive.

Then they stop at the first rest area.

[Getting to Sapa isn’t easy]
Here’s what I mean… listen up.

[Calming him down]
Just being in Hanoi is enough.

- Listen, hear me out.
- Who goes to Sapa on a 3-day trip?

Just listen, okay?

[Gyeju, who suggested Sapa, is intrigued]
Just listen.

- 3-day trip, but 3 hours on a bus, haha!
- 3-day trip, 3 hours on a bus, haha!

Then that car might...

Might as well go to Switzerland.

Yeah, we might as well
just go to Switzerland, haha!

They said grabbing drinks at the store

[Reviews say it was fun mid-trip]
and buying Vietnamese stuff was fun, though.

Then it’s another 3 hours.

[This process only brings laughs]

It’s way out there, huh?

Nah.

[Hanoi to Sapa by sleeper bus]
So, after 3 hours, they got drinks

then they went another 2.5 hours

to the second rest stop.

[Endless pit stop ordeal]
Yeah, not happening.

Might as well take the bus to Switzerland!

- No way we’re doing that.
- Seriously, like Switzerland.

This is just like going to Brazil.

[After over 5 hours]
This isn’t happening.

[Not even close to Sapa yet]
It'll just be a brief visit, then!

No matter how much we want Sapa, this won’t work.

- This is a bit much.
- It’s too much.

But if it's not a bus

and we rented a car or got a pickup

wouldn’t that make it quicker?

[Sharing searched info]
[Staff] But the sleeper buses and trains

[Staff] are very fleshed out.

There’s a train?

- Where?
- Train might be better.

Wouldn’t it be closer?

[Sharing searched info]
[Staff] If you arrive in the morning

[Staff]
you can spend time in Hanoi first.

[Book a sleeper train at night instead of a hotel]
Instead of a hotel

you’d book a sleeper train, then at night...

Oh, you mean traveling overnight.

[Since we need to sleep anyway]
Spend some time in Hanoi

[Sleep while traveling on the sleeper train]
and sleep on the train.

We just knock out
and when we wake up, we’re there.

That’s why it’s like Switzerland!

[Still, Sapa seems too far]
Might as well just sleep on the plane.

[Gyeju’s different thought]
But hey

taking a sleeper train
could be fun for a trip, right?

- I think it’s cool.
- What do you think?

I mean, I don’t mind
but with only 3 days, it feels short.

Spending so much time
in transit feels like a waste.

But we’d be sleeping on the train anyway.

So we get off at Sapa?

[Travel to Sapa while sleeping, save on lodging]
So we save on hotel costs.

[Two benefits in one]
Right, we’d save.

We have to get there anyway.

Can you find out how long the train takes?

[Concerned question]

Feels like it might be, like, 12 hours?

[Worried about being trapped on the train]

[Sharing searched info]
[Staff] If it leaves at 10 p.m.

[Staff] you’ll arrive around 5 to 6 a.m.

[Takes 8 hours by sleeper train]
So, 8 hours.

[About 7 to 8 hours to Sapa]
7 to 8 hours.

Oh, that’s not bad, then.

So, just the four of us hanging out in there?

[Shakes head…]
But, you know…

Look, Seokjin just shook his head.

Not going?

[Persuasion mode on]
This whole travel process is the content.

All this hassle could be part of it.

If it was just a personal trip, we wouldn’t bother

but as content, it’s interesting, like the train.

- I'm curious about the sleeper train.
- I’ve never taken one.

Neither have I, not even a sleeper bus.

[Staff] You're booking on-site and
not making prior reservations, right?

We should book in advance.

- On-site?
- No way!

[Booking the sleeper train with an app is a no-go]
Can’t we book it early?

We have to make calls for the plane tickets, too.

But what if the beds are sold out?

Then we’ll just stay longer in Hanoi.

- Just spend all 3 days in Hanoi.
- Exactly, 3 days in Hanoi.

[Relieved he doesn't have
to go standing-room to Sapa]

That’s the way to go.

So we don’t have to go to Sapa?

- Obviously not.
- No, we still plan to go.

[Summary so far]
Let’s look into it.

[Plan: take a train to Sapa from Hanoi]

[If it doesn’t work, spend all 3 days in Hanoi!]

Right.

This is our style. Punghyanggo style!

- Go where the wind takes us.
- Like, wherever the wind blows?

If it’s sold out when we get there?

Then we stay in Hanoi.

[Moment of worry]
Just crossed my mind…

What if there’s no train or hotel available?

Like, we arrive with no place to stay

and we end up sleeping outside.

That might be fine, actually.

Oh, it’s charming?

- It is charming.
- No way, there are plenty of hotels.

You never know if it’s a weekend.

That’s the kind of thing that gets views.

- Sleeping outside?
- Are you really thinking about views?

Let’s at least sleep somewhere.

Look at KwakTube and everyone else. They go rough.

If we want to beat travel YouTubers?

I mean, Pani Bottle and

[Benchmarking popular travel YouTubers]
other famous travel YouTubers.

But we can’t just fake sleeping outside.

- That’d be staged.
- And dangerous.

We have to keep it real.

Two can sleep while two keep watch.

[Semi-structured plan for street sleeping]
Gotta keep an eye on our stuff.

Sure, like

what if we… get totally soaked?

[A unique kind of worry]
Soaked by what?

[Former Jung Chung, now Jung-min]
What if we get snatched?

True, that could happen.

[Sleeping on the street would be risky]
Yeah, could be risky.

Even for us.

Let’s at least sleep somewhere with a door.

- Sleep with a door closed.
- Ideally, yeah.

So let’s see

if we can do Sapa without all that.

Where?

- You mean once we get there?
- In Hanoi?

So, our trip is about seeing
if we can get to Sapa without any apps!

[Clarifying what Jung-min said]
That's right.

[Checking if we can reach Sapa without apps
is the main point of this trip!]

That’s the title of this journey.

[Punghyanggo’s key feature]
So it’s all about "Can we make it to Sapa?"

But this translation feature isn’t an app…

[Still holding on to the translation tool]
Using the built-in translation on my phone…

- That’s not allowed.
- Didn’t we say no gadgets?

- We said not to rely on gadgets.
- That includes features like this.

But we said calling was allowed.

[Third question]
No KakaoTalk or texting either?

[How far does "No App Travel" go?]
We can use that, right?

[Calls and texts]
It’s fine among ourselves.

And with family, too.

But no calling friends back home to get help.

- That’d be sneaky.
- Yeah, we wouldn’t do that.

[Calls and texts are allowed]
We’re not that shady.

[No help from friends]
Yeah, that’s fair.

Nobody here would do that.

[Side glance…]
So for a 3-day trip, look…

But why are you stacking up all the eomuk?

Why?

Isn’t that a skill? Haha!

Wham! Wham! Wham! Wham! and then

you’ve got five eomuk on one skewer, haha!

[Eomuk pro, master, king, legend]

It’s a skill!

Eomuk…

You really like food, don’t you?

It’s just… the red ones stand out to me.
You see them, too?

[Question: Pick the reddest thing]

[1. Tteokbokki 2. Eomuk 3. Jung-min’s face]

[The perfect fork technique for fish cakes]
Look at this.

A true eomuk grabber.

[Back to the trip talk]
So, we leave in the morning for a 3-day trip.

Exactly.

We have the whole first day, the next full day.

Then come back on the third day, right?

[Vietnam is 2 hours behind Korea]
There’s a 2-hour time difference.

First, let’s book Hanoi!

[Destination set, next step]
Flights.

[Priority: booking flights]
Gotta book flights, right?

Alright, everyone, open your calendars.

Jung-min, you’re set, too?
I already checked the dates.

[Dates already confirmed / Available for travel]
October 11th, 12th, 13th.

[Professor "What if" appears]
Let’s say, hypothetically

what if the flights don’t line up?

Like, if there’s no morning flight
just a late-night one?

So we might have to fly out late
on the 10th or early on the 11th.

[Consider various flight options]
Right, keep the 10th open, too.

[Open to different possibilities when booking]
Got it.

For today, the plan is to book flights.

- Booking?
- By app?

- Nope, has to be by phone.
- Yeah, by phone.

By phone? Ugh…

So who do we even call?

Like, call the airline itself…

- I've never done that.
- Feels like we’re back in the 2000s.

If you're calling airplanes
are you calling Boeing or something?

[Fourth question:
Where do we call to book tickets?]

[Searching]
Gotta call a travel agency.

Wait, the airline…

Call the airline, or the agency?

Look, Korean Air customer service pops right up.

[Wise choice by Solomon Hwang]
It’s right there?

Alright, you give them a call.

[Calling…]
If they have flights from the 10th… for four!

Thank you for calling SkyTeam, Korean Air.

Press 1 for domestic services
2 for international services.

[Presses 2]

[It’s just funny watching this]

Connected to visual ARS.

Can we even book like this?

Please look at your phone screen
and select your option.

Additional data charges may apply
if you don’t wish to proceed…

You have unlimited data, right?

[Ends call]
I don’t get it.

[Suddenly losing will to call]
Why’d you hang up?

I couldn’t… quite understand, haha!

Jung-min! Could you handle this part?

Just try to get to a real person.

Why’d you hang up?

Suddenly the screen just popped up

and...I kind of panicked.

[Unexpected visual ARS throws him off]
I didn’t know what to do.

- You just look and click the options.
- You can follow along on the screen.

[Expert advice when it’s not his turn]
There’s a thing to press as you go.

Hold on, let me try.

[Gyeju tries]
I don’t know… I give up!

Ugh, this is so frustrating.

[Staff] Anyway, since this is
a business trip from Antenna…

[Listening closely]
[Staff] We actually have a company hotline.

[Staff] We book work trips
through a travel agency.

[Suggestion: Use Antenna’s work travel process]
Really?

[Call the travel agency]
So we could call through the agency.

For ticket booking, technically

even without apps

calling an agency is fastest.

You know, like HANATOUR, MODETOUR…

[Antenna uses HANATOUR]
We use HANATOUR…

[Relaxed]
Alright, that works.

Really?

Then why didn’t you mention
that when we tried KOREAN AIR?

[Hwang feeling let down]
He shut it down so fast!

Got me all startled.

It’s like some kind of scam!

I’ve never done this either, so

I just wanted to see how it’d turn out.

Feels like some weird scam, honestly!

[Panic at the visual ARS
hangs up faster than anyone]

[Staff] Then we’ll call and check
if booking is possible now.

Could you check for us?

[A rare last bit of help]
Thank you.

[Staff offers to make the call]
They’ll call and connect us.

So, since it’s a 3-day trip

how much should each of us bring?

[So much still to figure out…]
Let’s make the reservation first.

[Endless stream of issues…]

[Estimation from "Rainy Season is just an excuse"]
A million won each.

- A million each, so three million won in total?
- Gotta check that.

[Fifth question]
Are we flying business?

Or economy?

I don’t mind.

Business.

[Should’ve seen that answer coming]

Well, you know, hehe...

But actually...

- He's a star.
- I’ll just say it.

We’re covering the cost ourselves
so we could fly business.

[Paying out of pocket, no production budget]
It’s not coming from production funds.

This is our own trip, so…

I really don’t mind either way
business or economy.

[Also indifferent]
Honestly, I’m fine with anything.

[Clear solution]
Then, us three will fly economy…

And you can fly business alone!

[Seokjin in business / Rest in economy]
I can't do that!

We should go together.

We could always upgrade seats.

[Seat upgrades]
But that depends on availability.

[depends on timing and availability]
If there are upgradeable seats.

If we’re booking, just decide business or economy.

Otherwise, business is fine. It doesn’t matter.

[Agreement reached]
Alright, let’s go with business.

[Booking all four in business]
Since we’ll still need to get to Sapa.

[Ready to talk with travel agent]
Go ahead and make the call.

With HANATOUR.

Hello.

Hello, this is HANATOUR.

[Straight to the point]
We’re currently...

[Oops!]
Hello, this is Yu Jae Seok.

Oh… hello.

[They seem unsure]

Are you really…

Yep.

[Clearing up confusion, back to the point]
It’s early, I know.

We’re trying to book plane tickets.

[Oops, take two]
Normally we’d use

an app… since that’s easier.

Yes, of course.

We do have an app expert, but!

Due to the theme of this trip

[Explanation to prevent confusion]
we’re booking everything by phone, sorry.

Oh, that’s totally fine.

We handle everything by phone, too.

[Extra info]
Really?

We help people who aren’t comfortable with apps.

Ah, good to know.

It’s not that we’re uncomfortable with apps
though, we’re more than capable…

We’re actually app pros!

You’re rambling.

Just do it! This is so frustrating.

They’ll misunderstand.

- They might misunderstand.
- Who’s misunderstanding?

[Re-emphasis]
We’re actually app pros!

[Finally, back on topic]
So, we’re headed to Vietnam.

[Typing]
Hanoi!

Hanoi?

- October…
- Yes, October 11th.

Friday the 11th.

- Departing on Friday morning.
- Morning flight.

Weren’t we going to KAPPA?

Sapa.

[This is why Punghyanggo was formed…]
KAPPA is a brand, we’re going to Sapa.

- Ah, Sapa, haha.
- Hello?

[They’re checking details]
Hello?

Yes, you mentioned October 11th for Hanoi?

Yes, yes.

- We’re heading to…
- Is the time already set?

- We’re going to Sapa.
- Do you have a specific time in mind?

[No direct flight]
We’ll fly to Hanoi and go to Sapa from there.

We’re looking to leave as early as possible.

[Earlier departure is better for a short trip]
Early departure? In that case...

[Typing away]

Korean Air has an 8:10 a.m. flight available.

- Let’s take that one. Perfect.
- Yes, we’ll take that.

Business…

- Excuse me… uh, sorry…
- We're...yeah...

[Quick reply]
Four people.

[Wait, is it only four?]
So, what about our Staff?

[Staff’s tickets]
Do they book separately from us?

[Same schedule, separate booking planned]
Just us for now. You’ll handle yours?

Then, uh, could you…

Check the price for… business?

[Checking business class price]

And economy? What’s economy?

Alright, let me check that for you.

Ask if we can upgrade later.

Sometimes the price difference isn’t much.

Yeah, ask if upgrades are available

and if it is, we can always do it with miles!

We should definitely ask.

Do you all have enough miles?

I’ve got tons.

[Curious]
Really?

They said I’ve got enough
for around two tickets to Europe.

Currently, there are plenty of seats available
in economy for October 11th.

I’ll check return availability
and provide a total price.

[Planning for a night flight return on the 13th]
On the 13th.

- Night!
- Night flight.

[The benefit of booking by phone:
Live keyboard ASMR as they check seats]

- You mentioned the 13th, right?
- Yes.

There’s currently a 23:10 departure.

[Not a bad time]
Let’s go with the latest flight.

[Settled on the 23:10 flight]
The latest it is.

Going with the 23:10 flight.

Okay then currently, both business
and economy seats are available.

Both of them is fine.

So if you choose economy…

[Listening closely]

Including the ticket fare, taxes

and booking fee per person

[Relieved]
it comes to around 430,000 won per person.

[Focusing again]

Round trip?

[Economy round trip:
Approx. 430,000 won per person]

Why is it so cheap?

I heard a bit earlier

you mentioned mileage upgrades, right?

Ah, you heard Hwang Jung-min’s talk earlier?

Yep, I could hear it.

Oh, you heard that.

If you’re upgrading with miles
the economy fare is different.

I’ll confirm the pricing on that.

Okay.

You’ve got sharp ears...

It’s on speakerphone.

Ah, right!

[Waiting again]

In that case, the economy fare
with mileage upgrade is 970,000 won.

[Nearly double the price]
970,000 won.

Then how much for business?

If all four want round-trip business

per person, it’s around...

[Tense anticipation]

1.9 million won for business.

[Four times the cost…]
1.9 million won?

[Surprised by the big difference]
Yes.

That’s expensive.

Let's call back in five minutes, maybe?

[What do we do?]
Hand it over.

Ask again.

Give it here!

Think about it for a sec, come on.

[Switching to the more travel-savvy person]
Excuse me.

- That’s a big difference.
- Sorry to bother you.

So the price difference is pretty huge.

[Politely]
Is ASIANA or Vietnam Airlines

cheaper by any chance?

Yes, ASIANA and Vietnam Airlines
are somewhat cheaper.

Even business class has around three
or four different fare options.

[Desperate]
The cheapest one.

First, I’ll check if there are
four seats available for that schedule.

It’s about the timing.

Timing-wise, KOREAN AIR is ideal.

[Can’t process anything right now]

- The time is best with KOREAN AIR.
- So are we paying 430,000 won

or 1.9 million won?

430,000 sounds right.

With that big of a price difference.

[KOREAN AIR economy over KOREAN AIR business]

1.9 million vs. 430,000 is a massive gap…

Wow... that’s a huge difference.

It’s way too much.

Starting this trip off at… 8 million won already.

[Adding up for four people makes it more shocking]
Starting off the trip at 8 million won?

Oof, no, that’s too much, haha.

Then with everyone putting in a million won each?

We’re already at
about a 10 million won from the start!

[Their last hop is ASIANA]

ASIANA business class departs at 9:15 a.m.

The fare is about 1.18 million won.

[Hands the phone over again]
1.18 million won?

- Alright then.
- That sounds reasonable.

That’s an hour later than KOREAN AIR?

[Departs at 9:15 a.m. from Incheon]
Yeah, about an hour late.

[Slightly later than KOREAN AIR]
And the return flight?

[23:30 p.m. departure from Hanoi]
The return is at 23:30 p.m.

[Return time is almost identical]
That’s similar enough.

Just about a 20 minutes
difference with KOREAN AIR.

[So, either leave early on KOREAN AIR]
KOREAN AIR departs at 11:10 a.m.?

[or leave later with business on ASIANA]
ASIANA departs at 11:30 a.m.

Okay, so…

Can we think it over and call you back?

Yes, that’s fine. How soon will you call back?

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes.

[Listen and repeat
Flustered and just echoing what he heard]

Since you’re busy.

Thank you, since you’re busy… yeah.

[Quickly ending the call]

Were you that flustered?

- Why were you so flustered?
- Just say it straight, what’s wrong?

[Already concerned about his ability
to handle situations on the spot]

[To sum it up]
Mileage upgrade.

[KOREAN AIR seat upgrade]
An upgradeable economy ticket is 930,000 won.

[ASIANA business class]
Buying business class straight is 1,180,000 won.

KOREAN AIR business was 1.9 million won.

[Giving up]
We can’t do KOREAN AIR.

When it’s 450,000 won vs. 1.9 million, I mean...

- That’s too much.
- Yeah, that’s a bit much.

Especially since, as Jung-min said earlier

[Current budget per person: 1 million won]
We were aiming for around 1 million each.

[1.9 million is just…]
Starting off with…

[Spending double the group fee]
It doesn’t make sense.

Yeah, that’s a no-go, we can’t do that.

Let’s go with the 430,000 won option!

Should we just do the 430,000 won one then?

Yeah, I mean, it’s not
like it’s that long a flight.

Let’s go economy!

Guess we’re doing economy.

[KOREAN AIR mileage upgrade quietly disappears]

Four hours.

So we can sit all four together…

[Is that possible?]

[If it’s a 2-4-2 layout]
It’s possible to sit all four in a row.

Yeah, let’s just do economy.

If the price difference were a bit smaller
I’d understand.

But this is just way too much.

A 1.5 million won difference…

It’s too much.

Have you all flown first class before?

Have you?

- I tried it once.
- Me too, just once.

[Sometimes upgraded if business is overbooked]
They upgraded from business.

[Free upgrades do happen]
That’s how I got to try it once.

We’ve all had similar experiences.

Who would actually pay to fly first class? Haha!

- MAX is business for me.
- Hardly anyone does, right?

I think mostly high-up people fly first.

[Suddenly remembers a first-class story]
But then

you see some people, and you can tell
"Oh, they paid for this."

[Agreeing]

[The aura gives it away]
Just looking, you know…

And then they look at me the same way.

Like, "Yu Jae Seok paid for this seat?"

No, I mean

more like, "Oh, he didn’t pay for this, did he?"

[Same space, different vibe]
I’m thinking they paid for it.

[Back to the main topic]
So, yeah

- 430,000 won for that economy ticket, right?
- Let’s go with that.

[Final decision: KOREAN AIR economy (430,000 won)]

You good with that?

Huh?

I mean, the price difference is just too much.

[Lingering thoughts]

[Staff] Wouldn’t it be...
Better to just go business?

[Bringing up the upgrade option again]
I mean go with mileage upgrade.

Oh... is it uncomfortable being with us?

Your face says it all. Haha!

[Concerned about comfort during the shoot]
Looks uncomfortable.

[Starting to seem like the staff wants distance]
You want a comfortable trip?

Want a little more space?

[All teasing in perfect sync]

- Because…
- Got it.

You don’t want to breathe the same air
as your team leader?

Should we go separately?

Who cares on a flight?

I just want to travel a little comfortably!

So you can pretend you don’t know us!

Four hours of peace.

Somehow one comment turns into a whole discussion]
Just shop to your heart’s content at duty-free.

But I can’t leave you all behind.

We’ll go together the whole way.

[Unanimous approval / Love you!]
That’s the spirit!

Yeah, let’s endure a little discomfort.

That’s right.

- Gotta experience some discomfort.
- Learn something from it!

[Connecting call right away]
Go ahead.

- We’ll go with KOREAN AIR economy, please.
- Yes.

We’re confirmed on that decision, all four of us.

This is going to be hilarious
with all four of us like this. Haha!

[Imagining the sight]
People will be like, "Huh?"

- You’re booking for four, right?
- Yes, yes.

How will you be paying for this?

On Jee Seokjin’s card!

[Wasn’t agreed on at all]

Let’s use your card first.

Use yours.

[Polite service]
Your friend’s card can be used for payment.

Just use yours...

Since card number

[Quickly checking the balance just in case]
is sensitive personal information…

Or we could charge the staff’s card

and we can just reimburse later.

[Staff covers, members pay back afterward]
Okay, we’ll do that.

[Almost finished, just need to pick seats]
And for seating, with four of you

we have a 2-4-2 layout available.

Do you prefer window or aisle?

Let’s go with four in a row.

Yeah, we’ll just take four in a row.

Do you want to sit together
in the middle section, or

two by two, with window seats in front and back?

[Oh, right]
Front and back might be better.

Middle, all four of us together.

Like that?

And we can have our staff on either side of us.

We’ll just do the opposite
of whatever Seokjin suggests, haha!

Haha!

Jae Seok never listens to Seokjin.

Sitting two by two is more comfortable...

Any other questions?

Nope, we’re all set.

[Flight tickets finally booked]
Thank you.

[Main task complete]
Alright, so now

[No turning back now]
We're just going.

So! On that day!

He’s all smiles, haha!

- Jung-min really wanted to go.
- Yeah, let's just go, haha!

Wasn't this Jung-min’s idea, though?

[The original spark for our trip]
It's your plan, isn't it?

- Just a slip of the tongue, haha!
- Exactly.

And if it turns out well

we can bring Sung-min next time too, right?

Yeah, or how about Jinhee? Jinhee?

[Try it out first]
Jinhee’s good too.

[then invite more friends!]
Him too?

He's so much fun, too.

[Pinggyego!]

- So, I have a question!
- What is it?

The trip budget is a million won
per person, right?

And we’ve sorted the flights.

Flights are separate!

[Flight cost excluded]
A million won is for trip expenses, separate.

So we’ll exchange it to Vietnamese dong?

[6th item: How will we handle currency exchange?]
No.

We’ll need to exchange it.

- To dong?
- Yes, so we can spend it there.

- Would that be better?
- Then

would dollars be better? Or dong?

It doesn’t matter, we just have to pick one.

How much would a million won be in dollars?

- 700 dollars? 800 dollars?
- 800 dollars?

Maybe 900?

[Everyone’s guessing different amounts]
750 dollars.

[To end the debate, search time (still possible)]
Just look it up.

It’s about 750 dollars.

In dong…

[Travel advice from Sam, who knows a thing or two]
But, if we follow your suggestion…

No, it’s better than
exchanging won directly to dong.

We exchange won to dollars first, then

exchange those dollars for dong over there.

[Quick tip]
Alright, then we’ll go with dollars.

[Vietnamese currency isn’t widely stocked
at domestic banks]

[So, dual exchange is better
due to high fees and low exchange rates]

Let’s go with 800 dollars, 800.

We can just put 800 bucks into the group fund.

So, who’s in charge of the money?

You do it!

[Fresh blood recommended]

I can do it.

Oh, and he’s really thorough, too.

[Fast talk]
So, 4x8=30, so you take the 3200 dollars…

3200 dollars.

Whoa, that’s intimidating. 3200 dollars!

The numbers are getting scary now!

If you leave it to me
I could make it 6400 all at once!

[Hwang Jung-min / That guy from Narco-Saints]

[He… might actually do it!]

6400, huh?

So, for the lodging, we just book it on the spot?

From now on!

From now on, it’s all on-site!

Of course, we’ll handle it on the spot.

So, when we arrive
we’re just hopping in a taxi and going?

[Yep]
We’ll handle it there.

We’re headed to KAPPA, right?

- KAPPA, right?
- It’s Sapa!

Oh, sorry, it’s stuck in my head.

[First it was Punghyanggo, Gyegukji, now KAPPA…]
First, it was Punghyanggo

[Master of slip-ups strikes again]
and now he’s calling Sapa, KAPPA.

We’re heading to Sapa!

We arrive at 8 a.m., then to get to Sapa

there’s a 10 p.m. train, right?

[10 p.m. night train]
The night train at 10 p.m.

So, as soon as we arrive

we need to buy a ticket to Sapa.

Right when we get there…

So… should we head to the train station first?

I think…

[This trip is doomed!]
Hey, we’re doomed.

We need at least some plan.

Or we’ll just waste time...

[Planning so much, we’ll lose all our time]
We’ll be at the airport

and then we’ll be talking about this for hours.

Our ancestors lived like this!

Wow, we’re wasting precious time here.

I think we can book it at the airport.

[Agreeing with Jung-min]
It’ll be there! It’s gotta be at the airport.

At the Vietnam airport.

You know?

Of course I don’t know!

It’s my first time in Vietnam!

[Just guessing…]
There should be something at the airport.

Don’t worry. I’ll bring a travel guide to Vietnam.

We can just follow it!

Look, if we arrive in Korea and...

Everyone’s doing their own thing, lol.

[Not listening]
Look!

Say we land in Korea and
want to go to Gyeongju. Then what?

We’d head from Incheon Airport
to a bus terminal, right?

[Hold up]
But how do we know where that is?

[Like a truck with no brakes]
Then we’d get to the terminal

and buy our Gyeongju tickets in advance.

- But how do we know where that…
- Exactly the same.

So, as soon as we land in Hanoi
we’re going straight to the train station?

We head to the train station.

- Na… Napa?
- Sapa!

Oh, Sapa!

Napa, haha!

Everyone’s going in different directions!

KAPPA! Napa! Sapa!

[Everyone for themselves]

Haha!

[That’s a no-go, haha]
That's bad.

Then we just meet back at the airport.

[Anyway]
There should be a terminal there.

[Staff] But you’re not going
to use map apps, are you?

[Map apps are off-limits too]
Nope!

The main theme of our trip is

no apps! That’s us.

[Searching Hanoi to Sapa]
This idea actually started

because of something Jung-min said, but

there are tons of travel content out there, right?

[But our unique spin is "no apps"]
But what our theme is

a no-app trip.

- We’re just going wherever the wind takes us.
- Exactly, we follow the wind.

Jung-min, this is a genius idea!

No, no, it’s just because

I just accidentally said "Punghyanggo"

- Yeah, I remember that.
- Exactly.

And then travel came up.

We were talking about wanting to go on a trip

and then Jae Seok started explaining
Punghyanggo’s meaning.

[Seok-sam still searching]
Hey!

[Listen up]
I got it!

How to book the sleeping bus.

- But we’re taking a train.
- It’s a train, bro.

[Oops]
Oh, sleeping train!

Hehe.

I… booked it on Klook.

[The search result was "book with an app"]

What are you talking about?

What’s Klook?

[Dying of laughter]
An app! They booked it on an app!

What’s he doing? Haha!

[After all that, "I booked it on an app"]

There’s no trip like ours.

You won’t find a no-app trip like this online.

[Finding the train station might be a good start]
Once we arrive, we won't know where the station is

but we’re just starting there and figuring it out.

We’ll book the Sapa train tickets

and then hang out in Hanoi for a while.

Since, look, we leave at 8 a.m.

[Arriving at 11 a.m. Vietnam time]
there’s a two-hour difference.

So it’s 10 a.m. there.

Definitely "J"!

[Seok-sam still searching]
So, from the airport…

I mean, to the train station.

It can’t be more than, like
a two-hour ride, right?

- Max two hours.
- Max!

[If we somehow get to the train station]
So we ride for two hours.

[Roughly arriving by midnight]
Then it’s midnight.

We just get our tickets then!

But isn’t the train at 10 p.m.?

So we’ll have 10 hours to kill.

Yeah, we’ll just hang out.

And 10 hours before should mean

there’ll be seats left!

[Jung-min’s logic]
If we book that early.

[Surely there’ll be seats 10 hours in advance]

Sure, others might use apps, but

probably!

We might not get four seats together, though.

It might be single seats or rooms for two…

So we might end up mixed with other people.

But we need enough for the crew too…

- What do you mean?
- The sleeping bus.

[Staff] The crew will just use an app
to book in advance.

You’re booking in advance?

[Well, look at that]

[Betrayed]
So you guys are guaranteed seats?

Wow, you’ve got guaranteed spots.

Well, that’s settled!

We get there, and we’re the ones without tickets!

Then we’ll just leave the crew to go on their own.

We can have fun on our own.

Right, that works!

[But aren’t we family?
Weren’t we sticking together?]

Who’s going to film us, though? Who’s filming?

Who’s going to be filming us?

[Reprimanding]
Hey, they're not the ones

going to Sapa right now!

[Unaffected]
We can just see how it goes after they film it.

We just need to hear about it.

Well, at least we’re taking the first step today.

- Let’s just go.
- Yeah, let’s go.

[The decision made at the pre-trip meeting]
Just getting there is a win.

[Destination: Sapa, Vietnam
(flights and reservations done)]

[Participation fee: 800 dollars each]
Got any questions?

[Additional topic]
Are we each taking a suitcase?

Or are we just going with backpacks
for easier movement?

Suitcases make it harder to move around.

[Strongly anti-suitcase]
Can’t deal with a suitcase. I can't lug it around.

Just one backpack is enough for me.

I need to bring a suitcase.

No way, that’s such a hassle!

[So cool]
Just let him bring it if he wants to.

Yeah.

[Unexpected Seoksam vs. Jung-min standoff]
It’s his choice if he wants to bring it.

Wow, you’re so accepting of individuality.

[Spectators having a blast]
I mean, look!

[Seoksam’s rebuttal]
But look, Jung-min…

If he suddenly gets tired

we might end up having to carry it for him…

Haha! Like I’d ever ask you
to carry it if I get tired here?

[Nickname: Weakling Seoksam (6 years older)]
Do you really think I’d ask you?

I know him.

If it's anybody, it'd be me
who collapses in the street!

He brings a massive bag
for a two-day trip like we’re moving!

Is that your usual travel style?

It’s his travel bag, let him be!

[More conflict]
I seriously take nothing with me!

If it’s hot, I’ll just buy a T-shirt there.

[Finance-conscious Treasurer Yang]
Out of the group fund?

- No, I’ll buy it myself.
- That shouldn’t be from the group fund!

Right?

No way, that’s personal expense.

Gotta keep personal and group funds separate.

If anyone does a makeup, I’m not letting it slide!

We’re going makeup-free.

[Condition added: No makeup]
No makeup, for sure.

I’m not wearing any makeup now.

But we’ll need sunblock since it’s so sunny.

Gotta wear sunscreen.

But isn’t everyone already wearing makeup?

- Yep.
- I put on BB cream.

You didn’t?

[Bare face]
I’m wearing nothing.

I just came right from home after washing up.

[Scans subtly]

Looks like it.

[Satisfied]
Your usual look?

Yeah!

And I’m not bringing any extra clothes!

Really?

- Just one outfit?
- Yep!

- For two nights, three days?
- Yep!

- Really, you?
- Yeah.

[Wearing one outfit for 3 days and 2 nights?]
You’ll sleep in that too?

Just wake up and go?

Yeah, I’ll just keep going.

Then let’s all go with one outfit like Jung-min.

No, you don’t have to! That’s just my style!

Let’s get him an outfit there!

[Like Sue’s Dressing Room]
You’ll find one along the way.

[A makeover attempt for Hwang Jung-min]
Matching shirts!

- We can all wear them together!
- Right, they have nice shirts abroad.

[Considering matching shirts as a trip souvenir]
They’ve got nice shirts there.

[In conclusion]
I’ll bring my bag.

Alright, bring it.

[With the suitcase]
I’m bringing my suitcase.

[Respecting each person’s style with a backpack]
And I’m sticking to just a backpack.

[Finally, time for Punghyanggo!]
For our Punghyanggo…

For Punghyanggo’s no-app adventure!

[Water and Americano, bottoms up!]

Alright!

And, just in case

we might need to chip in
for more funds on-site, you know? Haha!

[You never know what could happen?]

Better bring some extra cash.

Then I’ll bring a lot of money.

- Why?
- Here we go again.

So I can lend it out if needed.

[Like Narco-Saints]
I can just do a loan!

What’s he saying?

Oh, charging interest?

What are you planning abroad?

I’m kidding, kidding.

Alright, we ate well today. See you on the day.

- So we’re meeting at the airport now!
- Airport?

Woah!

[Pre-trip meeting before Chuseok]
Have a great holiday.

[PunghyangGO, let’s GO]

Let’s go!

No fighting!

- Of course, no fights!
- Nothing to fight about!

We don’t even know how to fight.

[Four friends off on a no-app adventure]
Dong for later, and this…

["Punghyanggo" airs every Sunday
at 9 p.m. starting 11/24]

Let’s use dollars to pay for trays.

Just one person should do it.

We don’t have smaller bills.

Let’s use this for meals.

Calm down, Jung-min.

Take a breath, Jung-min breathe.

Don’t get upset, Jung-min, because…

- You just step aside too.
- Yeah, give him a breather.

This is big money.

We’ll handle it, so go on.

Pay 12 dollars in dong.
