Original subtitles

[The Punghyanggo crew begins their journey] Fighting!

Welcome to Vietnam!

[Task 1 upon arrival: Getting a taxi] This works, this works.

This one works.

[Immediately opens Google Maps] I think we should show him where Hanoi Station is.

Using an app, haha.

[Busted] We're not supposed to use apps!

Why did I ever say we wouldn't use apps!

[Task 2: Booking the sleeper train] We go to Sapa.

[Conflict arises] We can save this for meals later.

But that place does look good…

[Second conflict]

We eat first, then…

[This won't work] Let's elect a leader!

Rock-paper-scissors!

[First leader Jung-min] He's the leader. One-hour leader.

[No hesitation]

- How is it? - Hmm, It's delicious.

[The leader excels at finding good restaurants] This place is amazing.

[Meanwhile, the chaos of currency exchange hell] We need to exchange money. We're short on money.

Didn't they say there was an exchange office here?

Is the rate not good?

That's not great.

Just exchange money in Seoul!

- The airport had the best rates… - Let's just head to a cafe!

[For now, they decided to start with a drink at a randomly found cafe!]

- Let's go, it looks like it. - Doesn't it look like it?

Yeah, let's go there.

[Discussion begins on the most important topic] I'm curious.

[What is the minimum exchange rate for exchange?] At what rate will we exchange money?

That's what I want to know.

What's our standard?

Is it OK for us to talk like this here?

[Before the main talk, a concern arises] Is it fine?

[Flashes a friendly smile at the staff] OK?

No problem?

[Permission granted with a smile] No problem?

Sound, sound good?

[Simplistic sentence structure] "Sound good."

Does it mean the sound is good?

Hey, that's…

Your English is terrible.

You're bad at English.

[Back to the exchange rate discussion] So, what's the rate they're offering us now?

[The bank exchange rate just before coming to the cafe was 246]

[Against the 246 rate] 246 won't work.

Hold on, let me calculate.

[Checking the remaining funds] Let's say 3,000 dollars.

[Assuming they have 3,000 dollars] Roughly 3,000 dollars.

- Actually, it's 2,800 dollars! - It's 2,800, he says.

[Recalculating to be sure]

Nope!

[The budget saver in full focus] Two thousand…

[Correct answer] It's 2,700 dollars.

[For now, calculate with 2,800 dollars]

And for 2,800 dollars…

[Comparing airport rate of 251] Calculate it at 250 first

[with bank rate of 246] then try 246.

- Sure, I'll do that. - We need to know the difference.

This is the airport rate…

[Hit by reality during the calculations] How much is it?

We're sensitive about exchange rates.

Why do we end up like this whenever we're abroad?

Well, we should be! It's important.

If we do this

[Bites into cheesecake] it's 7 million dong(?)

7 million dong?

[Brain back in action] 7 million dong.

No, it's not!

[28 x 251 = 70,280,000 dong] 70 million dong.

[As expected, Seoksam is great at math]

Exchanging this much isn't smart.

70 million dong is

[Too much to carry around easily] like a whole bag full…

Let's exchange little by little.

[28 x 246 = ] What was it?

246

[1.4 million dong difference from earlier] 68,880,000 dong.

So

that's a 100,000 won difference.

[A difference of roughly 100,000 won, which isn't insignificant]

With 100,000 won, you can buy 20 of these!

- Exactly. - We really messed up.

No, it's the guidebook

that's wrong.

[Suddenly blames the travel guide] It's wrong.

The guidebook said

"Airport exchange rates are the worst."

[He keeps eating cheesecake anyway]

and "Use the city exchange."

Wait, did we come here

to check exchange rates?

[Not following the wind] Is this an exchange-rate trip?

[but chasing exchange rates] Did we travel just to exchange money?

Let's settle this now.

[Seokjin's suggestion] 248.

[Exchange if the rate is around 248] 248 sounds good.

Let's just aim for the middle.

Even 247 is fine.

[Final agreement: Target exchange rate 247~250] Isn't 250 the best option?

If it's 250, we should exchange a lot.

That's great.

There must be exchange counters in Sapa, right?

Of course, there are!

But right now

we don't have enough cash to spend here.

Once we get to Sapa we'll need to pay for transportation.

[Current cash: About 6 million dongs] We have about 6 million dong now.

[Roughly 300,000 won left, which is enough] 300,000 won.

- We still have 300,000 won? - Yes.

Then we're good.

It takes one hour to get

from Lao Cai Station to Sapa!

[Jung-min's plan] Let's take

[Taking a multi-passenger limousine bus] a 9-seater limousine bus.

That sounds good.

- 60,000 won is enough. - Let's do that.

[Considering the production crew joining as well] Everyone, including the staff, can ride together.

[Things are smoother, except for the exchange] We've managed to find three great restaurants.

[Foodie hat trick] A coffee spot, a cake spot

[Pho, coffee, and cake, all three were a success] and that pho place earlier.

Everyone! The highly rated places

you know are good

but our course is amazing.

Why aren't they eating that?

- The cake? - Bring it over if you're not going to eat it.

[Appetite explosion] Jung-min, you're eating a lot.

[Now eyeing even the staff's cake] Why are you eating so much?

- You said you weren't hungry. - You said you had no appetite.

Why are you eating so much?

It's too good!

[Cheese-filled delight] The cheese is so good.

You're eating it like a meal.

Isn't it tasty? If you don't eat it now you'll never get to eat it again.

Do you know what he says the most?

"Are you hungry?"

"No, I'm not."

[Embarrassed]

Earlier

he ate a huge bowl of pho.

[Suddenly serious] You guys need to eat now

because if you don't you won't get another chance!

This is so good I'd want to pack it up and take it home.

[For the 814th time] And always exchange money at the airport!

Unlike us, Gyegukji uses apps.

[If only we had apps] So they know the fair rates and exchange spots.

[We'd know the rates and where to exchange] We have no idea.

Do we even know what a good exchange rate is?

But hey, we're learning the hard way!

[Focused solely on cheesecake] Our Gyewon probably already knows.

Look at Jung-min.

[Focused on the cheesecake like a racehorse]

Why are you eating so much?

Aren't you the ones who gave me the side-eye

- when I had just 200,000 dongs left? - I'm not joking, but I think

[Unheard] I'll crave this when we're back in Seoul.

[Munching away] Nowadays, even a slice of cake costs 7~8,000 won.

Right?

Stop eating.

It's too good!

Do you know how I feel when I eat this?

You'll get a stomachache.

Gyegukji, do you know how I feel?

If I don't eat it now, I'll never get to!

But seriously, you can't get sick.

I think

we'll end up spending all our money at the ER.

It's so delicious! I'm full!

I've eaten a ton already!

Please stop eating…

It's fine!

If I'm thirsty, I'll just drink from my Stanley!

[A true pro slipping in a PPL ad even while stuffed]

[Jung-min is engrossed in his travel guide again] This is so good.

Meanwhile, he just keeps reading the book.

But we're always going somewhere else!

The stuff you've read hasn't helped us at all!

Seriously, guidebooks are just for reference.

Just use them as a guide, nothing more.

Yeah, we've never actually followed anything from that book!

What's funny about him is

that he studied so hard

[Even underlining parts despite being tired] for like an hour despite being tired.

[Putting in the effort to study] He was underlining things in the book

[Arriving in Hanoi] saying, "Check out this hotel."

[Meticulously planning the hotel stay] "This place looks nice."

"Let's go here."

But when we got there, he was like

"Hey, let's go here! Mango Hotel!"

[Always acting on impulse no matter how much planning]

He's so impulsive.

But wasn't Mango Hotel great?

Yeah, it was good.

Everything turns out great in the end, to be fair.

[Taxi episode at the airport] That's true.

[Jae Seok wants to tell the story] Did you see what happened with the taxi?

We were trying to get one

[Awkward due to poor communication] but it was kind of awkward

because of the language barrier.

The luggage!

He kept loading and unloading the bags over and over.

[Like Turkish ice cream but with luggage] The driver picked it up, then put it down

[The driver, exhausted from dealing with the bags] then picked it up again…

His face was…

- So Jung-min was like - He was so nice.

[Jung-min felt sorry and frustrated about the situation]

"Let's just take the bus!"

[Noi Bai Airport]

If we load the bags, six people can't fit.

[Panicking while trying to sort out the taxi]

If we load the luggage, we won't fit.

[One person getting anxious]

Let's just take the bus!

[Finally suggesting taking the bus] We already got on.

[Traveling feature: Laughing endlessly] Meanwhile, he kept saying

[while repeating the same scene] "Take the bags out? Out, out!"

Sorry, driver.

Confidence is key in speaking English!

- Yeah, you can just - And, oh

use gestures and they'll understand.

what should I do?

Should I eat more or stop? I'm stuffed.

Just stop now.

I'm going crazy because it's so good.

Wow, Seokjin, you really eat well.

[Admiring his appetite]

My wife always tells me to stop eating…

You've got to eat well to some extent.

[While constantly being told to stop eating] Of course.

Having an appetite is a good thing.

It's better than not having one!

Appetite is strength.

[Jung-min suddenly decides to take a selfie]

[A brief moment of silence while the photo is taken]

[Checks the photo with a serious expression]

You're not mad, are you?

Oh, he looks so happy right now!

[Happiness]

[Zooming in on the photo then laughing with the production crew]

Exhausted.

[Tiredness all around]

[Checking on the local coordinator] Tired? You OK?

[with the production crew] Bursting into laughter.

[Making dad jokes with a "yawn"] Our guide is "pawn"ing around!

"Pawn" show!

Our guide keeps "pawn"ing.

Bursting into laughter.

[For interpretation and filming assistance] She's helping

[Local coordinator traveling with us] with interpretation here

but not for us.

Oh, not for us. Not for us!

[Insisting on innocence] It's true, Gyewon. She doesn't help us.

[During lunch] Is she Korean?

[Spotting the local coordinator] Looks like an interpreter.

Then we can ask her.

No way!

She's like a super app.

[Important notes for filming in Vietnam: Vietnam is a socialist country]

[Foreigners conducting commercial filming must have government approval]

[And must be accompanied by locals]

Is that a legal requirement?

What is your name?

[Confused]

Because she's the interpreter… A name.

- She speaks Korean so well! - Right?

Better than me, it seems.

By the way, can I ask you for one favor?

What is it?

Please don't try to haggle at the hotel.

It's a fixed price!

[Attempts to explain] You can't do it like that.

[The Mango Hotel room price] They told me it was 700,000 dong.

[Staff informed him it was 700,000 dong] Then they asked

"Credit card?" So I said

[But when he said he'd pay in cash] "Cash," and they went

[Seokjin felt there was an odd reaction] "Oh, cash…"

There was this awkward pause.

I thought, "Do they give a discount for cash?"

[After some deliberation, that's what he said] and I asked, "Discount?"

You know what made me think you were being a bit sly?

What about me seems sly?

[To the staff who recognized the "Running Man"] When they recognized Running Man

[Suspected of trying for a celebrity discount] "Discount?"

That's the absolute worst!

[Jung-min drumming out of laughter]

Do you remember what you always said to me in Korea?

There's nothing tackier than

asking for a celebrity discount!

[Firm belief] That's what I believe too.

But it just slipped out.

So you pulled the tackiest move

overseas?

And he didn't even realize it!

If Sung-min had been here…

What's his style? How does he travel?

Sung-min is very composed.

[Unlike the four Sung-min is the gentlemanly type]

He seems like such a good person.

Very calm

just laughs softly like, "Haha," doesn't say much

[A good listener] just listens quietly.

He looked so friendly on Pinggyego.

Sung-min is great.

He's a true gentleman.

Why is time going so slowly here?

[Shakes head] Why?

[PM 3:00 at Lang Biang Cafe] It's still 3 o'clock.

We've eaten and booked a room already.

[Still 7 hours until the train departs]

Why is time dragging on like this?

What do we do?

Until when are you… That thing?

What thing?

Uh… Front(?)

[Forgets the word "leader"]

It started at 2:30

[30 minutes remaining] so until 3:30.

[Jae Seok remains leader until 3:30 PM] I've got until 3:30.

I'm still the leader.

Once I'm done being a leader I'm going to get a foot massage.

[Seokjin plans to] Oh, yes, leader.

[get a foot massage as soon as he's leader] A foot massage?

[Meanwhile, Jung-min is playing with a straw]

You have really good palm lines.

[Everyone stirs at the mention of palm reading] Do you know how to read palms?

Really? Please tell me something.

I'm not that great at it.

Even just roughly!

[Surprised by the unexpected interest] Do you know how to read palms?

Just a little…

- Just tell me roughly. - OK.

[Seriously trying to read palms] These kinds of lines are good.

A wealthy person's palm.

You don't seem to know palm reading… Oh! Right!

In the movie The Wailing, huh?

There's no palm-reading scene in The Wailing!

Oh, not palm reading.

[Jung-min played Il Gwang a shaman in The Wailing]

Yeah, he was amazing in that role

in The Wailing.

You were so cool in that movie.

[Spoiler alert for those who haven't seen it] At the end of The Wailing, why did you turn?

[Asking about the movie's ending after 8 years] He's on the same team!

You were kind of…

- Jung-min was the villain! - A villain?

[Il Gwang was actually a demon's ally] Where there's evil

people will seek out shamans, right?

Then I'd take their money.

[Mystery solved] With the demon…

[Chun Woo-Hee's character, Unknown, was a guardian deity protecting the village]

Chun Woo-Hee was the good character.

[The bad shaman] I was the one carrying around the evil spirit.

That's why she said not to go inside.

[But the protagonist didn't believe Unknown] Right, right.

[Ultimately failing to protect his family] He didn't believe her and went in.

He acted against her words.

That's how it all fell apart.

[Had a hunch he was the villain] I figured that out too.

[Wearing Japanese-style underwear] You were wearing those demon-like underwear

[like the demon] when you took your pants off.

Everyone noticed that!

Oh… Really? It wasn't just me?

So the original ending

[Jung-min reveals a deleted ending from The Wailing]

which got cut

showed the Japanese demon

watching a girl playing at the edge of the village.

It was so creepy!

[Just then, Il Gwang drives up and appears before the demon]

Then I pull up in my car

and we make eye contact. The demon gets in my car.

[Il Gwang disappears with the demon as Unknown watches this scene unfold]

That should've stayed in.

That was the original ending.

[It made it clear they were on the same team] That would've shown it

- more clearly. - That scene…

[Infinite Challenge – Ghost Wailing Special] Back then, on Infinite Challenge

they did a parody of the movie so we all watched it together.

Afterward, it was so good

we spent three hours at a nearby cafe discussing it.

[After watching The Wailing] We argued over what was right

[Debating and interpreting the movie was a ritual] whose interpretation was correct

and stuff like that.

I've watched so many of Jung-min's films, like New World!

[Embarrassed and flustered by the praise] Everyone's seen New World.

I think I've watched it five times.

Let's quickly decide on the next front.

There are still 10 minutes left.

Where should we go?

If I win rock-paper-scissors again where should we go?

[Everyone happily imagining their ideal scenarios] I just want to stay here.

[One person suspiciously staring out the window]

What are you looking at now?

[Already decided on the route he wants to take] I've been thinking about heading down that road.

Oh, you want to go that way.

If we go that way, there should be something like Myeongdong Street.

Like shopping?

How about a simple tour?

- What kind of tour? - A city tour!

You can do that if you become the leader!

There was a city tour bus earlier.

[The problem is finding the city tour bus stop] But where do we catch that bus?

That's the real issue.

We need to combine our efforts.

["P" Plan: Combine efforts]

By the time we figure that out, an hour will be over!

Wait, I'll look up the city tour.

[Prepping to check the guidebook]

[The guidebook makes a reappearance] Oh, it's in the book.

I can't trust this book anymore.

[But because of the currency exchange issue] This book's advice on exchange rates

[A travel guide that lost a lot of trust] I was totally wrong.

Our trip's already off to a bad start.

[A sudden discovery] There's also this

Vietnam's largest detention center

Hoa Lo Prison!

[Searching for a city tour and suddenly a prison?] A prison?

Are we going to lock ourselves up there?

Are you planning to throw us in there?

[Focus on the prison] Why are we going to prison?

It's a 5-minute drive or a 10-minute walk.

[Curious why they want to visit the prison] Why would we go to a prison?

[Hoa Lo Prison] It's a tourist spot, right?

[A historic site, restored as a museum that once held political prisoners]

[during the late 19th-century French colonial period]

[Burning with academic curiosity again] "Hoa Lo" means fiery furnace.

Hey!

shouldn't we look for the city tour bus?

Or should we go to that lake instead?

A lake?

We need to go to Hoan Kiem Lake!

But how will we get there?

[Immediately asking for help] Excuse me.

Hoan Kiem Hosu(?)

Oh! What's the English word?

- Lake, lake! - Hoan Kiem Lake.

[Buffering]

Is it far?

No, it's not far.

It's 1 kilometer away.

1 kilometer?

[From the cafe to Hoan Kiem Lake, it's about 1.5 to 1.7 km, roughly a 20-minute walk]

Just go straight?

Yes!

- See! I told you we should go that way! - Perfect.

Let's go there!

[Immediately ready to leave] Now?

Rock-paper-scissors first.

[Deciding the leader before heading out] Change the leader.

[3rd leader selection with rock-paper-scissors] Rock-paper-scissors.

[Jae Seok loses / Jung-min loses Se Chan wins / Seokjin wins]

[Joy / Despair]

Did I win?

I won too.

[Final match between Seokjin and Se Chan] If I win, I'm going that way.

Rock-paper-scissors!

[Seokjin becomes leader]

[Celebrates victory with enthusiasm] I've been to the finals three times…

[Dances out of excitement] You must be disappointed.

I've been to the finals three times but lost every time.

Sorry…

[Regains composure and heads to Hoan Kiem Lake]

Let's go to the lake.

[After a sweet break] Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow, I'm so full.

Aren't you full, Jung-min?

I'm really full.

We still have to eat dinner later.

[The eldest already thinking about dinner as soon as they step out]

How long do we have…

If we walk 1 kilometer, we'll digest it!

[Walking to Hoan Kiem Lake might help digestion] Walking for two or three hours should do it.

Cross at the crosswalk.

[Crosswalk without signals] Cross at the crosswalk… Here it is.

Look left and right carefully before crossing.

Wow, this is…

It's like a battle of wills to see who gives in first.

[Hanoi walking Tip Due to motorcycles, cars, and street vendors]

[It's often difficult to walk on sidewalks] You have to cross with good judgment.

[so you might need to walk on the road. Be cautious]

I want to become a leader quickly.

There's nothing special about being the leader.

If I become the leader

I'll go buy matching team T-shirts.

If I'm the leader, that's what I'll do.

- Team T-shirts? - Yeah.

Why do you like team things so much?

[A leader-to-be who values a sense of belonging] The vibe of being together, you know.

Oh? 50% off?

[Shoe sale poster] Nice.

[Suddenly starts surveying shoe needs] Does anyone need shoes?

Should we check them out?

Let's take a look. Look if you want to.

I kind of want to see.

Do you want to?

Didn't you say the shoes you're wearing now are great?

[His shoes are so comfortable] Let's go, let's go.

[he forgot he had them on] Didn't you say the shoes are great?

The leader keeps worrying

about what the team thinks!

You're the leader, aren't you?

Just do what you want.

[Encouraged, he tries shopping for T-shirts] This really is a shopping area.

Oh? Messi…

[The leader left alone after telling others to look around]

[Two members focused on finding the way first]

They said to just follow this street, right?

The leader is still here why do you keep wandering off!

Hurry up, leader!

[Foot massage shop]

Seokjin is going to say we should go here.

This is another hotel(?)

It's for foot massages.

Oh, foot massages?

[A misstep]

Make sure Seokjin doesn't see this place.

[Sweet dessert cafe in Seokjin's style!]

Look ahead.

[Everywhere triggers a Seokjin shopping alert] I'm too full.

This looks so delicious.

[Jae Seok suddenly remembers something] Wait a minute.

Shouldn't we buy a power strip or something?

[Thorough research was clearly skipped] Is it 220V here or what?

How does it work?

[Everyone seems cursed to not answer questions]

We really came here knowing nothing.

Wait! Look, a money exchange!

[They find a currency exchange in the city]

- Is this a currency exchange trip or what? - How much is it?

[Another inquiry]

How much, how much?

247

Not bad.

Should we exchange a bit?

If that's the case, just keep walking!

[An unconventional method of exchanging money]

Exchanging 100 dollars each time

- when will we ever finish? - How many exchanges

will it take

[Currently holding 2,700 dollars] if we keep exchanging

[They'd need to visit 27 exchange locations] 100 dollars at a time?

I'm not thrilled with this rate anyway.

There are so many motorcycles.

[Team members freeze] Come here, this is it.

Booking office!

Hold on, um… I'm the leader, right?

[Leader reappears] I'll check if there's a short tour available.

[Respecting the leader's opinion] Let me see if a short tour is possible.

There's a money exchange here too.

Here it is.

[Two birds with one stone / Enters immediately]

Two-five-zero, OK?

OK.

OK?

250

[It worked!]

[Efficiency-focused Jung-min shows interest] Perfect, perfect.

- Why? - 250.

Should we exchange about 1,000 dollars?

[Treasurer Se Chan approves 1,000 dollars] 1,000 dollars sounds fine.

You can exchange 1,000 dollars.

[Pilgrimage to Hanoi's exchange counters] Feels like we're visiting every counter.

Also, ask about

[Originally came to inquire about tours] the city tour bus.

Oh, wait a second so I don't get confused.

[Keeps the question in mind]

But

why are we only asking about exchange rates everywhere?

I don't know…

And for such a small difference.

[Only 10,000 to 20,000 won difference]

I'll give you 100,000 won, just exchange already!

But still

it's just how people are, right?

[Because they've compared too many rates] We've learned so much about the rates.

It's because we know too much now.

[Meanwhile, the staff finishes counting money] How much? 25?

[City exchange counter exchange / - 1,000 dollars]

[ → 25 million dong]

It's exact.

OK, let's go.

[Total cash: 31,578,600 dong (+1,700 dollars)]

Now my wallet won't close.

[Wait a second] Hold on, we still need to ask about the city tour.

Is there a city tour bus?

When does it start?

What time do you want?

Now.

Of course.

How many people?

Maybe…

What are you doing all of a sudden?

Get out of there!

Just wait, let me ask.

[Easily swayed, gets dragged out] Sorry, we going to…

Just tell him to leave!

- It's going too smoothly. - Lake!

[Almost got roped into a random tour]

Get out.

Why are you trying to call the city tour bus here?

No, wait

Jung-min!

You said you wanted to do it.

[As my brother wished, Jee-Keyring] No, the lake, the lake.

You said you wanted to do a city tour.

[Changes the subject] Doesn't it feel like the lake's nearby?

[Seokjin, not falling for it, says "Look"] Look, I told you so.

How much did I exchange as a leader?

I got it at 250, didn't I?

That's true.

[The achievement of 250 rate exchange] The leader made the deal.

You didn't even know if that was an exchange counter.

That's right.

I'm the one who told you.

[Wrapping it up as a group achievement] So are we done with exchanging money now?

Let's stop visiting exchange counters.

We've spent about two hours on this.

[Exchange issues take up half of their stay]

Hey, currency exchange guys.

[Yes?]

Exchange guys…

[Currency exchange guys respond immediately] Are you planning to exchange more somewhere?

[Right now] We're addicted to exchanging money!

[Unprecedented currency exchange trip in Vietnam]

- To save a few bucks. - We're addicted to exchanging money now.

If we see a rate of 251

we'll lose our minds.

Walking is actually nice!

[Jae Seok realizing something] Hey, but

how far do we have to walk to get to the hotel?

Let's just take a taxi back to the hotel.

[The four brothers losing their cool] How far do we have to…

Just take a taxi to the Mango Hotel.

Wow… Thinking about it.

We've been wandering in circles.

But originally…

Anyway, let's just go.

[Off they go]

I absolutely have to buy this magnet.

[A store catches the leader's eye] Hey, this place…

[Turning around] Leader!

Hold on a second, here.

Let's get embroidery done on a cap!

They can embroider on a cap here?

Oh, it looks like they can.

[Everyone gathers around the leader] Is this a place to buy something?

It's just T-shirts.

Oh, is it T-shirts?

It's just a T-shirt shop, come on!

Oh, seriously!

Oh, come on.

[The leader is urgently called back] Leader, hurry up.

It's not a place for embroidery.

I wanted to get something

embroidered here. It's meaningful!

- Something unique like… - Should we write "Money Exchange" on it?

And also "250"!

[Everyone starts suggesting embroidery text]

For 2. 5. 1!

[Final text] Money Exchange, Yes 251!

[A completely unique phrase] Anytime OK.

[Jae Seok reappears with a bright idea] Didn't they say

earlier at the cafe that the lake was close?

- They definitely said it was 1km away. - Yeah, they said it's 1km.

What time is it now?

[3:45 p.m. / They've been delayed by many stops]

Want to buy a clock?

They only sell wall clocks here though.

[When asked for the time] What would we do with a wall clock?

[While walking faster] Should I buy a T-shirt or something?

[Seokjin's eyes keep wandering] What's this? Donuts?

[Checking the time]

Is the leader's time up at 4:30?

[Leader Seokjin's term ends at 4:30 p.m.]

It's 4:30. Exactly 4:30.

There's still plenty of time left.

[Trying to keep a cool head] But if we're walking the whole time

- shouldn't the travel time be deducted? - Well, there's nothing we can do.

[Agreed!] It's all part of the time.

[Strict time-based system with no adjustments] Nothing can be done.

Look to the right.

[Current temperature: 31°C. They're starting to feel tired]

Wow, it's hot.

[They encounter a fork in the road] Where's Hoan Kiem?

[With no energy left, they decide to ask] Hoan what?

Ask about Hoan Kiem.

Hoan Kien?

Hoan Kiem!

[The second eldest steps up] Go ask.

Excuse me.

Where is Hoan Kiem?

Hoan Kiem Lake.

[Communication is smooth]

Just go straight.

Go straight?

Just straight?

[They ask again to be sure] Thank you.

[They start walking straight again] It's just straight ahead.

[They spot something interesting]

How about taking that?

I like it.

Me too.

[They find something appealing] If I become the leader, I'm riding that.

But walking

helps you digest quickly, and it's nice.

Honestly, it's basically exercise.

The staff must be struggling too.

[Worrying about the staff exercising with them] They probably are.

Are they going to collapse at this rate?

[Seriously]

Wow, that souvenir is so pretty.

Don't you want to look at souvenirs?

[The second eldest subtly cares for the youngest] Do you want to check out souvenirs?

Want to look here? Souvenirs?

Not here, maybe over there.

[They veer off course for the fourth time] Go wherever you want.

Let's check it out.

Oh wow, this is so pretty.

It's pretty, really pretty.

[Unique magnets] These are so cute.

[cute keychains] This is cute.

[and lots of adorable trinkets] Oh, it's a pot holder.

This one is pretty.

My wife would love this.

These little dolls are so pretty too.

[They happily browse around]

Honestly, you should buy these on the last day.

Yeah, let's get them on the last day.

It'll be hard to carry them around now.

It seems better to wait until the last day.

[They decide to save souvenirs for the last day]

When are we going to reach Hoan Kiem?

[From cafe → clothes → exchange counter → embroidery → souvenirs → Hoan Kiem Lake]

[Stopping so much has delayed them even more] We've been walking forever.

[Hoan Kiem Lake] It's been almost 30 minutes.

The lake should be coming up soon, right?

Wow, look over there!

[A change of scenery signals their arrival] It's such a bustling area.

Oh, we came here earlier, didn't we?

[Earlier in the taxi]

Wow, this place is pretty.

What's this?

[Saw it in the guidebook] It says this is a really big lake.

[Or is it?] I read about it earlier.

[Guessing and moving on] This place is so cute.

[Feeling the vibrant energy of Hanoi] Looks like there's a festival happening here.

This is Hanoi.

It's so cool.

[Next to the bustling square] This is the lake, right?

Is this the lake?

[Symbol of Hanoi] We're finally here.

[The four brothers arrive at Hoan Kiem Lake] Finding this without an app is amazing.

[During the day, it's a space for relaxation for locals]

[At night, it transforms into]

[a beautifully lit scenic area]

[And then] When we

drove by earlier

[Jung-min spots an unmistakable photo spot] I saw people sitting over there.

Look, there's a bridge over there.

We have to go to that bridge!

You're going all the way there? Hey… Hey!

[The current distance between the group members]

Where are you going?

[After walking this far]

[Still walking] This place is pretty.

That place is pretty too.

[Perhaps because of that] There's that too.

[Rides keep catching their attention] It's like a cart.

Where?

[Drawn in] Oh, there's that too.

[Cyclo: A bicycle taxi with a seat attached] It's kind of like that.

[A local transport and tourist experience] Tuk-tuk?

Tuk-tuk.

[Exploring around the lake] They're taking a group photo.

We should've worn outfits like that.

[If only I were the leader] With hats like those.

[Young Se Chan feeling wistful] It'd look so good in photos.

That looks delicious too, what is that?

Oh, look at the peaches!

[Relaxed]

[While everyone explores different things, the red bridge gets closer]

- We're almost there. - We're here.

This must be where you pay!

[People handing over tickets to enter]

We came here completely unprepared, so we didn't know.

[Ticket check / entrance fee] There's an entrance fee?

What is this place?

[The red bridge they arrived at without any prior knowledge]

[Leads to a small island on the lake]

[The The Huc Bridge to Jade Island]

[Where]

[Ngoc Son Temple stands]

[Ngoc Son Temple: A shrine commemorating a saint who fought against the Mongol invasion]

[in the 13th century, as well as gods of war, learning, and medicine]

[The four brothers arrive at the ticket booth] So we have to pay.

[Entrance fee: 50,000 dong per person] How much is it?

About 2,500 won.

[Let's go in] OK, we'll pay.

How many of us are there?

Including the staff, how many are we?

[Counting everyone, including the staff. Surprisingly generous behavior]

[unlike during currency exchanges] Including the staff, how many are we?

Nine.

But are we supposed to

pay for the staff's tickets too?

[Suddenly changes his mind]

Oh, come on, just pay it. It's only 2,500 won!

It's because we're tight on money.

[Getting annoyed]

It's because

we don't know when we'll need this money.

Exchange rate boy!

[Hastily tries to mediate]

50,000 dong is 2,500 won, right?

Just calculate 9x5=45.

[Quickly pays after the scolding]

450,000 dong.

[Reading the English guide] 500,000 dong, OK.

It's a temple?

Oh, there's something inside too?

[There's more than just the bridge?] Looks like there's more inside.

[Entrance fee 50,000 dong x 9 people = 450,000 dong total]

[Let's head in] Let's go.

This is the essence of traveling.

They used to walk like this back in the day.

Wow, this place is huge.

It's enormous!

Normally, you'd know about this place beforehand

but we're the type

to find out after we get there!

If we had an app, we could've looked this up in advance.

[Heading inside to learn more]

[Attendance check for Punghyanggo School(?) field trip begins]

6, 7, 8

[Everyone enters in a row] 9, OK.

[Excitement builds] We should definitely

- take a photo on this bridge! - Yeah, let's do it here.

This spot is beautiful.

- Oh, it feels refreshing. - This is great!

[Finally! A proper tourist moment with selfies] One, two, three.

Let's go to the middle.

Take another one from the center.

[Starting the film camera with a spin of the reel]

[Managing their expressions] One, two, three.

[Click]

[Done] Nice.

Take one from the side…

It's a single shot.

[Enters while sniffing because of Seokjin] Go on in.

Did you take a good one?

- We're taking just one at each spot. - Alright.

[Awkward poses]

[Click]

[Done] OK.

- That's it? - It's done.

[Leaves feeling slightly unsatisfied] Jung-min, go in next.

[Good vibes and cheerful brothers] Jung-min, look here. One, two, three.

OK.

Since I'm the leader, let me take one more.

[Dream come true] One, two, three.

[The first group photo Se Chan's fingers make it into the shot]

This spot is beautiful too!

Oh! This is a great spot for photos too!

[Jade Island is full of photo spots] Let's take one here.

Let's do a jumping photo.

A jumping photo!

- What kind of photo is that? - Adorable.

He's all getting ready.

[The joyful trip master and Jee-Keyring] He's the trip master, for sure.

Just hold down the camera button.

[Guided by the trip master, they try a jump shot] Ready? One, two, three.

[SsookSsook Crew] Your expressions don't look great.

[Runs away]

- Huh? Why only me? - Why did you jump so low?

[Lone act] I got caught mid-landing.

Jung-min looks so thrilled!

[Heave-ho] Jung-min is really enjoying this.

Actually, doing it like Jung-min makes the best shots.

Right.

[The second brother looks cool in everything!] How do I do it? Just go for it?

Just, One, two

[Pro tip, One, two, heave-ho!] heave-ho!

One, two, three.

- Heave-ho! - Hyap!

How's that?

[Poker face]

But you're really good at this. It's not easy.

Huh? Seokjin…

Am I the one who jumped the lowest? I should've jumped higher.

Did you even jump?

OK, let's do it again. Got it.

What is this?

Give me one more chance.

You'll hurt your knees at this rate.

Look at Jung-min

- the trip master! - Just one more chance.

The way to jump is

you go one, two, three, and jump.

[Falling for it] One, two, three, jump.

[Final try] One, two, three.

[Photo title: That's enough] That's it.

Thank you.

Oh, this is pure happiness!

[Filmed in Vietnam with government approval]

Everyone comes here to see this place. Wow, this is wonderful.

Let's each make a wish here.

[People making wishes in front of the temple] Sounds good.

Whoever wants to, go ahead.

I really have something I want to wish for.

[Each has a wish to make] I have something I want to wish for too.

I have something I want to wish for.

We don't know when we'll come here again.

Might as well make a wish while we're here.

[For the first time in Vietnam the four brothers become calm]

[With their hearts full they make their individual wishes]

[A special moment born from following the wind]

[Trip master checking the next course]

There seems to be

a turtle that lived in this lake.

[Exploring the inside of Ngoc Son Temple] Oh, I see. That makes sense.

Whoa, what's this?

That is a turtle.

It's huge!

[Jung-min finds an information board] It's enormous.

I want to translate this.

If I use a translator, I can figure it out.

[Luckily, there's an English] There's a booklet here.

[information board for tourists] Sword Lake Turtle.

[It is said that whenever Vietnam faced a major crisis]

[a giant Yangtze softshell turtle would appear in Hoan Kiem Lake]

[The taxidermy of a turtle (1.2m) that died in 1967]

Whoa, that one's huge too.

[Everyone is amazed at the turtle's size]

[Exact size as the real one The taxidermy of a turtle (2m) that died in 2016]

It's real. It's been preserved.

What's that over there?

That looks sacred.

Oh… What is that?

Is it a reproductive organ?

[Jung-min is correct / It is indeed true] I think it might be.

It has such a commanding presence.

It also looks like a symbol of longevity.

That's it!

[A depiction of the turtle when it was alive]

It was discovered in 2014.

They preserved the actual turtle.

Can a turtle really grow this big?

That's why it's considered so mystical.

Wow, imagine suddenly encountering that underwater in the ocean or a river.

It would really be that big. Seeing it in the ocean would be terrifying.

[A turtle 20cm taller than Jung-min] Wow, that'd be so scary.

[Passed away in 2016] Even just seeing it here, it's breathtaking.

If something like

that moves through the water

[While two brothers indulge in imagination] like Nessie in Loch Ness

it could create waves.

This place is worth seeing.

It's worth the admission fee.

- I thought it was just the bridge. - Same here.

They should charge money for cultural heritage management.

It must cost to maintain it.

[The other two are talking about practical matters]

Oh, it's so refreshing.

This is really nice.

[A photo spot with the refreshing lake as the background]

Why? Are you going to take pictures?

[The youngest catches on quickly] We should take photos here.

[The eldest regains his leader vibe] Let's arrange two people between the flowers.

But the leader, you'll need to play rock-paper-scissors soon.

[Jae Seok and Seokjin's chemistry] Look forward, everyone. One, two, three.

This is incredible!

Let's take one together, the four of us.

Can you take a picture of all four of us?

So there might still be another one like that out there, right?

Yeah, it's possible.

[Giant Yangtze softshell turtles: Only two remain in the world today]

OK, smile.

[Scenery! Fragrance! Thank you!] Photos are all that remain.

Truly, photos are the best.

Jae Seok, send that one to me.

[Jung-min wants to share this with his family] I want to send

that photo to my family at home.

Since we're using Samsung phones, it should work.

[Easily sharing photos] Got it. Thanks.

I talked about everything related to you all.

[Punghyanggo prays for everyone's health, including the staff]

For all of us who came here today let's wish for everyone's health.

It's over.

[Seokjin's leader time ends at 4:30 PM]

- Leader time is over. - Then it's time for rock-paper-scissors.

[The next plan depends on the fourth leader] Now we need to pick a leader. It's over.

Oh, really?

Let's go. Let's go.

Se Chan, why don't you try this time?

[Unusually desperate] Rock-paper-scissors!

[Who will be the golden era leader?] Rock-paper-scissors!

[I won't see / Redo] Rock-paper-scissors!

[Loss / Win / Loss / Loss]

[A seasoned leader takes the stage]

I didn't win a single round.

[Zero Se Chan] That's how it goes.

Then.

[Instant disappointment, pitching ideas] Aren't we going to try the tuk-tuk?

How about a foot massage?

[Tempting] Should we try that first?

I'm in!

[Se Chan's idea is accepted. Follow, follow Yu] That's a good one, nice.

But I don't think we can do the foot massage.

[Patting on the back]

[Look, everyone] But for this

when you make a deal, you have to do it right.

[Discount man's "This is how you deal"] You can't just agree to the first price.

You have to walk away. Walk away like this.

[From theory to practice] Hold on.

Don't walk too far

[Hoping for a 15-minute ride] just negotiate for about 15 minutes.

- How about 15 minutes? - OK.

Hi.

[Street soliciting / Step inside] How much?

Uh-oh. We don't understand each other.

[Three brothers freeze]

300,000 dong.

[300,000 dong, rings clearly] 300,000 dong?

- One… - For four people?

One ride?

300,000 dong. Uh… Two people!

[300,000 dong for two people approximately 15,000 won]

So it's 15,000 won.

[Seems reasonable] 15,000 won for…

30 minutes.

30 minutes?

We…

Maybe 15(?)

- 15 minutes? - Yes!

[The driver adjusts it to 200,000 dong for 15 minutes]

200,000 dong? 10,000 won?

OK!

[The leader eager to get going] 200,000 dong?

[Discount man's work is] OK, let's go.

[postponed] Two people, it's us two.

This is fun too, riding something like this.

Haha.

Even bicycles have license plates?

[Cyclo: Only authorized drivers are allowed] He's a skilled driver.

[to operate cyclos in Vietnam] He's a professional.

[Every registered cyclo must have a license plate]

You can tell it's different.

This is my first time

doing something like this

- on an overseas trip! - Same here.

It's fun.

Honestly, trying this isn't easy.

I usually hesitate about these things

but this feels worth it.

Since we're here, it's nice to try it.

[Nervous]

[Trendy music fills the bustling area]

This is so hip!

[The mood picks up]

[On Friday evenings to Sunday you can see local street performances]

[caricature artists, and tug-of-war games]

It looks like a performance is happening today.

Wave your hands, wave your hands.

[Blurry]

Yeah, this slower pace is nice.

I like this relaxed vibe more than rushing.

[Message to Gyewon and Gyegukji] Gyewon, everyone.

[To: Gyegukji] This is unexpectedly great. It's so peaceful.

And with the gentle breeze…

There's a certain charm to moving slowly like this

amidst all the busy people.

[A contrast to the fast-paced view outside] This laid-back vibe is wonderful.

And as evening sets in

the city lights start coming on one by one.

[From: Gyeju on cyclo] It's so beautiful.

This 4:30 p.m. ride time is perfect!

[Recommended time slot] Between 4:30 and 5 p.m.

is really nice.

It's cool and breezy.

Ah… This makes me so sleepy…

[No wonder, after standing all day at the cafe, lake, and temple]

Oh, what's that?

[They find a lake-view outdoor restaurant] You can eat here while enjoying the view.

Ah, Vietnam is amazing.

Hey, hey

look to your right!

Wow, this place is great!

How about having dinner here later?

[Countless soft promises] Let's come here later.

Let's have dinner here.

[Dinner time approaching] We need to come here.

This is the spot for dinner.

[Jung-min takes a picture of the tumbler he's holding]

Why are you taking a picture of that?

- My wife asked what this is. - This?

I should send her a video instead.

[Cyclo can't be captured in a picture, but video!] Record a video.

You have to send everything later.

Are you filming?

OK.

[Hey everyone, this is a cyclo!]

Hanoi! Near Hoan Kiem Lake!

[A pro entertainer never leaves the audio empty] Riding a bicycle right now.

[Freedom in all angles horizontally and vertically]

This is fascinating.

[Cheese]

[Four brothers on a cyclo]

So your son is in his final year of high school?

[As of the filming date, waiting for results] Did you say he's applying for early admissions?

He did.

Once early admissions come through, it's all good from there.

That's why I've been praying.

[Hoping for college success in 2025] For things to go well?

For him to get into college.

He's probably nervous and excited.

Nah, that kid's

just gaming all the time.

He's really optimistic.

Yeah, he's super positive.

Well

[Once the exam season ends] everything wraps up

[Thinking about a family trip] in November.

That's why I'm scoping this out.

Thinking about how it might be nice to visit here.

You're seeing things through a trial lens.

Taking a bus, then a train sleeping while traveling.

- A memorable experience. - Exactly.

[Creating lasting memories together]

[Even better if all four sleep in one room] A family can stay in those four-person rooms.

I'll check it out in Sapa too.

And trekking.

[Skipping that part]

Here's another restaurant.

This one looks good too.

This is also a restaurant.

Oh?

There's a restaurant on the right as well.

It feels so refreshing!

[Talking over each other Hard to communicate as they drift apart]

It's so nice.

Honestly, we've stuck to our rule of

not using search apps really well.

Sometimes, I only search my name just to see if anything's up.

[Checking himself online, just in case]

Traveling without searching has its charm.

It's kind of tough

but it's genuinely nice!

[Surprisingly satisfied] Those little bumps during the trip

[A no-search, no-app trip] stick with you as memories.

We've basically circled around.

[Chatting away, they've almost completed the loop]

This is nice.

- Yeah, it's good. - This makes me happy.

[Deciding to capture the moment with a selfie]

- This is so great. - Feeling happy.

[Snapping photos of the older brothers too] I feel truly happy.

This kind of relaxed vibe is just wonderful.

[They enjoy the moment to the fullest] This is so great.

This is pure joy.

[Meanwhile]

Happiness doesn't require much.

Hey, you're not hungry, right?

[Meal Plz! Tamagotchi Kiring]

We need to have dinner…

I'm not eating. I'm really not eating.

[More bickering about food] I'm too full.

Do you always eat small portions?

I usually have one or two meals a day.

Lately, though, my appetite has exploded.

We're here. This is it.

[Jung-min recognizes the starting point] Wow, you've got such a good sense of direction.

Here we are, there it is.

[Thanking the driver for a safe journey] Thank you.

[Sharing thoughts on the cyclo ride] It's a bit cramped for guys.

[Romantic] This is for couples!

Jae Seok and I liked it because

Jae Seok is on the slim side.

[Plenty of room thanks to him] Jae Seok's pretty slim.

For sturdy young men like us

[Feeling self-conscious as a middle-aged man] with bigger builds, it's a tight fit.

[Contented] Ah, this has a real laid-back vibe!

[The march resumes]

Are we on a nonstop tour?

Should we go rest somewhere?

Let's take a break!

- Rest what? - Then where?

[Enjoying the cyclo ride] What have we even done so far?

[but diverging in travel styles again] Fine

let's find a cafe or something.

- A cafe? - Another cafe?

[Recalling a spot seen during the cyclo ride] How about over there across the street?

[Something catches his attention] Oh…

[Collective soliloquy time strikes again] That restaurant looked good earlier.

If we go this way, it'll lead us back around.

If we go that way, we'll reach

[Sipping drinks / Ready to chime in]

the hotel.

- It's the way to the hotel. - Exactly, exactly. Hey!

That sun is pretty.

- I thought… - The hotel…

- I thought you were talking about son. - Why?

[Confusion between "sun" and "son"] That son, he's pretty.

That sun, it's pretty.

Like those old mix-up skits, you know?

[The golden glow] That's what I thought you were doing.

[signals evening is near] Turns out, you really meant the sun was pretty.

The sunset is truly beautiful.

Should we head towards the hotel?

[his affectionate guide suggests a banh mi spot from the guidebook]

There was a banh mi place nearby earlier.

It's only five minutes from the hotel.

[Quick response] Banh mi? Should we go there?

[The current leader] Let's walk to the hotel first.

[Take a look] It's here, see?

Got it.

Says he knows without even looking.

[Feeling slighted]

Won't it just show up as we walk?

[Let's go] He's the leader.

Do you want some ice cream?

Oh, I don't.

If I eat this, I don't think I can eat dinner later.

- Fine, OK. - I'm skipping dinner anyway.

[This small society is full of individuality]

- You're skipping dinner? - I can't eat.

[But you can't just pass this up]

[Honey banh mi: One of Vietnam's iconic street snacks]

[it's flattened banh mi brushed with honey and grilled]

[Recognized Jae Seok / Thank you]

[They move on] They're grilling bread here.

They grill it for you.

You know we've been walking a ton, right?

We've walked so much.

[Basically nonstop] The air is so bad.

[Walking along the roadside again] My eyes and throat sting.

[Five hours ago in the taxi] Someone who

lives in Vietnam said

[A tidbit from TV about Vietnam] that's because it's so hot

locals usually don't walk even short distances.

It's mostly tourists who walk around.

[A solid confirmation of their tourist status] We've already walked 10,000 steps.

- 10,000 steps? - 10,000 steps already.

There's a restaurant just a bit ahead.

Really? Then let's go there.

[Agreed to go to the restaurant across the street] Should we cross the road?

- Let's cross. - Yeah, let's cross.

Cross over.

There are people crossing here.

[They blend in with a group of tourists to cross safely]

Just follow them.

[Feeling secure with someone else's guide leading] Follow them

the guide is right there.

- Here we are. - Is this a restaurant?

[5:00 PM, Lake-view restaurant] Is this a restaurant?

- It's a restaurant. - Let's go in.

[They take a table by the fan] Should we turn the fan on?

Yeah, definitely turn it on.

[Switch doesn't work despite their efforts]

[They try to troubleshoot themselves] Is the plug unplugged?

No, it's plugged in.

[Asking for help] Excuse me…

[Desperate hand signals]

The staff must be tired too.

[Discovering the issue] You should sit down too.

[Watching curiously until it's resolved] Take a break.

Jung-min, you're tired, right?

[Exhausted after walking through crowds in humid weather]

Two to four hours of sleep

[A self-imposed endurance test!] no rest until now, the staff must be struggling.

They're all wiping their faces with wet wipes!

Some of them pulled an all-nighter.

[Looking pitiful enough to get another fan] Thank you.

Is this mango?

- Smoothie. - Oh, mango smoothie, right?

Mango smoothie?

I'll have a mango smoothie too.

[Jae Seok and Seokjin, 2 mango smoothies] OK.

Two mango smoothies and one…

[Se Chan] One watermelon juice.

[Jung-min orders by showing a picture] And this one.

Thank you.

Don't stir it. Just drink from the bottom.

It looks like blueberry.

[Purple sweet potato smoothie exactly like the picture, arrives first]

But Jung-min, shouldn't you drink a mango shake here?

They use fresh mangoes here.

Maybe not.

[Starting again] There are mangoes everywhere here.

Sitting here makes you

- not want to get up. - Sip sip sip.

All done…

Oh…

Have another.

- Didn't you say you wouldn't eat? - Didn't you say you weren't eat?

[Nagging in sync / Mango smoothie chemistry]

You two really get along well.

So

[Is the next plan to return to the hotel?] we're heading to the hotel?

What are we going to do there?

[Freshen up and get ready before taking the train] Shower, rest a bit

- and prepare for dinner. - At nine…

we'll head there.

So no dinner?

Oh my gosh!

[Talking about dinner when suddenly splashed with water]

Ah! A carp!

[A carp leaps out of the restaurant's tank] Did the carp just jump?

[Their delicate hearts can't handle it] That scared me.

[Amused staff laughing at the situation]

That carp is strong.

I thought something fell into the water.

Hungry.

- It's hungry. - Yes!

Lucky day!

Oh, very lucky!

[A refreshing splash when they needed a shower] It's asking for food.

[The ultimate lucky water blessing]

[Apparently, it jumps when people approach]

- It must be asking for food. - Asking for food.

[The carp's thoughts are my thoughts] "Why aren't you feeding me?"

Wow. Mango juice!

Fresh mango juice.

Thank you.

[Gulping down the mango smoothie] Delicious.

We've done more than I expected today…

Wait, where did we go today?

[Laughs] Today?

I can only remember the currency exchange.

[Yes 251! Back to currency exchange hell talk] I mean

didn't we visit every place in Hanoi where we can exchange money?

We spent two hours on currency exchange.

Trying to save about 30,000 won…

[Walking for two hours because of it] We spent two hours walking.

For that.

Ah, just saying it makes me feel so empty.

But hold on, I'm really curious.

How far is it from here to the hotel? Can't we check on the GPS?

What?

Can't we check the distance on Google Maps?

[Yu-Navigation] It's quite far.

Even by car… We should take a taxi.

[Hwang-Navigation] No, it's right there!

[Jee-Keyring's choice] He's got a sharp eye for streets.

It's right here?

We just looped around, and if we go up a bit, we'll be there.

About 15? 20 minutes walking, nice and easy.

Wow, 20 minutes is far…

We can just take our time and walk!

We've already walked for five hours today!

[Common argument among Punghyanggo tour] We've only walked 10,000 steps.

[Public transport vs. taxi vs. walking] Only 10,000 steps.

Then fine! Walk if you want to!

[I'll take a taxi]

You're splitting up?

[Classic mismatch in travel styles] Fine, go enjoy yourself.

I was kidding. Let's walk together.

Or ride together!

How about this? If you see a taxi, take it.

If not, keep walking. How does that sound?

[Compromise reached] OK.

[According to Google Maps, it's a 23-minute walk to the hotel (7 minutes by car)]

[Evening falls over Hanoi during the walk]

This is the way to Mango Hotel, right?

We're heading roughly in the right direction.

[Following Hwang-Nav's guidance] Wow, I'm amazed.

How do you know the way… Do you know it?

[IT guys marvel] I'm totally dependent on Google Maps

[at the analog navigation] when I travel.

If we head up a bit and turn right at that intersection

[Retracing their steps] we'll be back where

[based on memory] the taxi dropped us off earlier.

Oh, what's that?

- Aerobics, aerobics. - They're dancing.

[Evening exercise by the lake] It's aerobics, right?

We should join them.

Evening aerobics.

[Stopping to watch] They even do this at night.

It's "Bahama Mama"!

- You know this song, right? - Of course, I know it.

[Original for "Infinite Challenge's 'Hanamana'"] This song was popular back in the day.

Motorcycles.

[Watching the rush-hour motorcycles as they walk]

[Observation experts] People take a lot of photos here.

[Can't search] Why are they taking pictures here?

[but assume it's a popular spot] Is there a reason?

[This spot, where young people are snapping photos, is]

[The Hanoi Moi Newspaper: Founded in 1957 it's Hanoi's influential daily paper]

[Its headquarters, located near Hoan Kiem Lake]

[has become a trendy photo spot recently]

Without an app, we hesitate to hail a taxi.

[They could flag a passing cab, but] Just call a taxi.

That's a taxi over there.

- This is the right way. - Yeah?

Earlier, there was a CANALI suit shop there!

[No app, but two human GPSs are on board] Just keep going straight.

Do you know where it is from here?

Keep going straight.

[Same travel time whether they turn here or at the next block]

Can't we just check Google Maps?

This is so frustrating.

[Ten minutes into the walk] Google Maps…

[IT guys' frustration at not knowing] Just keep going, and we'll ask someone.

[if they're on the right track] Don't worry.

This is the heart of our trip!

Ah, right…

We can't break that, huh?

Don't let Google ruin our trip.

[Still, they confirm by asking locals instead of using Google]

Hanoi Station…

Very far from here!

[An English listening test] Very far from here!

- Fa… From… Here? - Yes.

Far? Far, they said?

Very far?

Very very far?

Just keep walking this way and ask again.

[To locals who rarely walk the 15-minute walk feels very far]

Can't you just call an Uber for us?

[Trying to bend the rules]

[You're struggling too, aren't you?] Just pretend we got on by chance.

[Armed with nothing but dong] I'll pay for it, OK?

[The IT guy tempts them] Just one Uber ride…

[Caught in the act]

No! Keep walking! Go on…

They said to keep going straight.

I think they said it's kind of far…

[The more they discuss, the less sure they become]

If we take a taxi now…

We can use that.

[Referring to their emergency translation app] The translator?

We can use it once, right?

- Let's use it. - What will you translate?

"How long does it take"

"to get to Hanoi Station?"

"Can you show me on your Google Maps?"

How about that?

[Using an app to ask for app help] How does that sound?

Why do you love Google Maps so much?

"Can you show me the way to Hanoi Station using your Google Maps?"

[Settling on the simple] How long does it take

["How do we get to Hanoi Station?"] to get to Hanoi Station?

How do we get to Hanoi Station?

[Scanning for someone to ask via the app] Let me find the right person.

We only get one shot.

If they say, "I don't know" then the chance is gone.

I feel like the owner here might be Korean.

[A simpler solution presents itself] Should we ask them?

Just keep walking, we'll get there.

This isn't the right place yet.

We need to go further.

[The human navigation system inevitably glitches] I think we need to

[They had to retrace their steps before too] follow the train tracks again

like earlier.

This way, straight ahead!

If you mess up finding the hotel, I swear…

[I told you to take a taxi] I'm going to snap!

[They've been walking for 20 minutes already] Don't worry.

[They spot someone who seems to know the way]

I think that's a taxi driver.

[At a crossroads finally using the translation app]

Where is Hanoi Station?

Isn't it "Which way is it to Hanoi Station?"

[Enunciating carefully] Which way to Hanoi Station?

Hanoi train station!

Yes, let's say "train station."

[Revising for clarity with group input] Which way is it to Hanoi Train Station?

[And then?]

[Disappears before answering] Never mind.

He's gone now.

[Practicing their Vietnamese phrases]

[into the void] This way. Just go.

[Onward they go, deciding to turn right]

[Reality check]

Isn't

this like Walk Expedition?

There aren't even taxis around.

He keeps looking to his left, hoping to spot one.

With so many great apps out there…

[Calling out the ones they miss the most] Uber…

Our concept isn't

about limiting how much money we can spend.

Right, there's no restriction.

- And no punishments either. - Exactly!

Then why are we struggling so much?

[Why are we even doing this?] Why did we exchange so much money

but aren't spending any?

Yeah, exactly!

Why did we exchange so much?

[Filled with questions] We exchanged a lot of money.

We barely spent anything.

This isn't even a "More Salty Tour."

[The treasurer] We need to flex a bit more!

Basically, this people feel stingy.

[Brutal self-assessment] That's the impression I get.

It's not More Salty Tour, it's just a stingy one.

Does that include you too?

Of course it does.

[They need to turn or risk further delays] It must be a right turn here.

[At the crossroads] Turn right here.

- I think so. - We have to get it right.

[Thankfully, they choose correctly] Two paths ahead. What do we do?

They meet up anyway, don't they?

[They spotted an upscale restaurant.] This place looks expensive.

[It's a seafood buffet] Looks nice.

Why didn't we visit places like this?

[A question viewers probably share]

- We have money, why not? - We should eat at places like this.

We've got money!

But we're not spending it!

We have money but don't spend it.

[The plot twist of their 800-dollar-group budget for three days]

Let's splurge on one good meal.

[They just talk about it and keep walking] If we're in Hanoi

shouldn't you try eating somewhere like this?

- Right now? - Exactly what I'm saying.

Oh… It's night already while we've been wandering.

[Losing confidence as it gets darker] Let's keep going a little further.

Night came so suddenly.

Let's ask again, hold on.

[Another attempt]

Mango Hotel…

Open your Google Maps!

Please… Please…

- I told you not to do that. - Please show me…

[Translation app police intervenes] Hey, hey!

- Take him away. - Show me Google Maps.

["Sir, you can't do that here." Officer Yang steps in]

Oh my god…

Why are you like this?

- Don't break the rule! - I can't look at it?

[Strict self-monitoring of app use] We can't open the app

but if someone else uses it for us, it's fine.

[Reactivating human navigator] Just follow this path from here.

Very near here!

[Relief upon confirmation they're close]

[See? I was right!] Thank you.

[Finally, just a straight path ahead] Just keep going straight.

I told you. Straight ahead.

[Feeling underappreciated] Why don't you trust me?

- Hey. - Yeah?

You just asked to use the translator earlier.

[Laughing]

You're really struggling, aren't you?

[After walking for 35 minutes] Tired yet?

[Their detour made the walk far longer than estimated]

[Then] This area looks fancy.

Michelin!

[They stumble upon a Michelin-starred restaurant] It's Michelin.

[Co Dam Chay]

[A vegan fine dining restaurant listed in 2023 and 2024 Michelin Guides]

Should we try eating here?

You need a reservation for places like this.

It's hard to book. You can't just walk into Michelin-starred places in Korea.

What's the name of this place again?

Let's at least grab a business card.

[Even if they don't eat here now] Maybe see if they have seats available.

[Jung-min heads inside to get the card] He's so cool for doing this.

A Michelin place right here.

[Curious] I wonder how he'll even get the card…

He should be able to, right?

[Half worried, half hopeful] I'd like to try this kind of place.

[They wait for Jung-min] You can't reserve Michelin-starred restaurants

in Korea.

Especially now with all the buzz about Culinary Class Wars.

It's even harder to get in.

This place seems like one we should try if we can make a reservation.

[Jung-min returns] Did you get it?

How about we book for tomorrow?

Maybe next time.

- Why? - What happened? Did they say no?

It's not that. I just couldn't ask.

[What does that even mean?] What?

My lips didn't move.

[But you walked in so confidently] What do you mean you couldn't ask?

- Your lips didn't move? - Next time…

What…

Failure!

[Replay of the failed card mission]

[Jung-min looks around the restaurant]

Umm…

Let's just go!

Doesn't seem like it'll work.

I think I can go in…

[But it feels like I'm not mentally ready]

[Instantly accepting the failure and moving on]

Don't you find their travel style interesting?

I didn't think you'd go the entire trip without taking a taxi.

[Perfect sync] It's not that we didn't…

[It's not that we didn't, but couldn't] We're a bit traumatized.

- We're almost there now. - Wow, look at this place!

Another cafe?

[Drawn to cafes like a magnet] It's just too hot…

Every time we pass one, it's "Hey! Let's go in!"

There's another one!

We've been walking for

what, 40 minutes?

[And then… They stumble upon a construction site] Be careful.

[It seems like they're close] I think we're almost there.

Oh? Isn't that it at the end?

Where?

[They spot it] That's the one!

Still far.

We really should've taken a taxi.

[They see the red lights in the distance] It's way over there.

[Jung-min confirms] Isn't it that way?

- Yes, that's it. - Right?

Let's head there.

[Rushing toward the lights]

[But what is this path they're taking?] What is this path even?

We really went the long way around.

All the way around.

Is it really that far?

[The area is darker than it seems] We somehow ended up

[and noisier than it looks] walking through a construction zone.

[Loud construction noises rumble in the background]

If we had a map, it wouldn't direct us through places like this.

But here we are.

[Loud construction noise continues] Tonight

we're going to sleep like babies.

[Positive vibes only]

What time is it anyway?

[It's 8:15 p.m. in Korea] 6:15 p.m.

I'll probably be ready for bed soon.

[If they were in Korea] You go to bed at 10:30, right?

[just two hours away from bedtime] I go to bed at 10.

Motorbike.

[Marching Basics] Watch out for the motorbike.

[Update the front on the rear situation] Motorbike coming through.

Stay to the left.

[A father and daughter pass by on a motorbike]

[Watching quietly]

I wonder if my daughter's doing OK…

[Suddenly missing his daughter a lot]

She has no idea her dad is out here struggling like this.

She doesn't know.

My wife…

She said she was jealous I was going to Hanoi.

[Looking around, is this really Hanoi?] Gyeong-eun, is this what you're jealous of?

Su-jung.

- Gyeong-eun, is this what you envy? - Su-jung, you should try this for yourself.

[Actually, No] Remember to bring your phone.

[Still winding through the maze of construction] Isn't it here? Isn't this Capital Tower?

Let's check it out. We can't go back around the main road now.

Isn't this just another construction site?

No, no. These people are walking that way.

[Following travelers pulling suitcases into the path]

Seeing them go this way it must be the right path.

They must be heading to the train station.

[When in doubt, follow someone else]

Hi Bixby…

Everyone… Use an app.

[Finally supporting apps after resisting all day] Use an app.

Where is Hanoi Train Station…

[The ghost of apps tempts him]

You're not serious, are you?

Don't.

Don't ask Bixby.

- Hi… Bixby… - Don't.

Don't do it.

[Answer me, Bixby] How far is it to Hanoi Station…

This way.

[Bixby: Please unlock your device using fingerprint recognition]

Oh, come on, I was just kidding.

- Don't ruin our identity. - Bixby's asking for fingerprint ID.

Don't destroy our identity now.

I know, I'm just trying it out.

[Struggling to even pronounce words now due to app withdrawal]

I can't sit still anymore.

We're here!

[Now entering the final alleyway]

[Huffing and puffing] Here we are.

We made it.

- Is this it? - Yes.

Mango Hotel!

[Arriving after about 50 minutes almost an hour of walking]

[Even the trailing group can hear the joy of Mango!]

Haha.

[Finally found my Mango the Mango I was looking for]

Hi, Mango.

I'll never forget this place!

See? I told you we could make it.

[Suddenly feeling really good] Earlier, we went around in circles over there.

It's thrilling, isn't it?

[A thrill they wouldn't feel in a taxi] There's a thrill to it.

The result is satisfying.

It was worth it.

[The one who insisted on walking feels proud / Haha]

We didn't break our promise.

We didn't break it!

Mr. Google!

[Mr. Google was the most tested ally on this trip]

But we made it without relying on Google!

Everyone seems to be heading there now too.

But we've already

[Current affection levels Max] secured our hotel, the Mango Hotel.

My shoulders might fall off.

[Heavy bags packed with wet wipes, sanitizing wipes, and more]

It's OK.

- That's heavy. - It is, right?

It felt like a march, a real march!

Only four people can fit, so you guys go.

[They let the others take the elevator] Two more people can fit, come in.

You must be tired.

Yeah, you need some rest.

We'll wash up and then head straight for the train.

I can still walk more.

[Slumping] That's too much.

[A deep, gazing look / Avoiding eye contact]

Why didn't we think of taking a taxi?

Whoa!

[What's going on?]

[They can't help groaning from exhaustion, but]

Wait a second. Shh, shh.

[They can't resist teasing Seoksam]

[Target / Additional victims]

Should I really

[Hold it in] hit them today?

[Apologizing to the startled group] That wasn't my intention.

[But not to Seoksam, haha] I…

I was so surprised…

- Soo-bin, I'm sorry. - Oh gosh.

- Song-hwa, that wasn't my intention… - I was so shocked.

[Holding their startled hearts they finally reach the room]

- Turn on the AC. - That's not what I meant.

Hey, seriously, let's wash up and change clothes.

[While the brothers wash off the day's fatigue]

[Hanoi's night deepens further]

Wow, even just showering feels so good.

[Feeling refreshed after washing up] You know, I really enjoy

taking short breaks at the hotel while traveling.

Still, you know we've stuck to our plan really well today, right?

- We've done everything we planned. - We didn't miss a thing.

[With today's schedule complete] So, when we arrive

[The only one simulating tomorrow's plans] at Lao Cai Station…

[On the plain] If we board the train

at Hanoi Station at 9 p.m., we'll arrive at Lao Cai Station at 6 a.m. the next day.

Right. Then from there…

"Take a private van or a minibus to Sapa."

[How to get to Sapa 1. Hanoi Station → Lao Cai Station: Sleeper train]

[2. Lao Cai Station → Sapa: Private van or minibus]

If it doesn't cost too much, we can do that.

A private van seats seven people

and it cost 25,000 won. Let's do it!

Not 25,000 dong?

[It's 25,000 won] It's 500,000 dong.

Oh, that's great!

[The bookworm finds something else] This place looks nice too

Mong Village.

[Jung-min's pick for accommodations in Sapa] Look, it's a 4-star place.

Wow! Look at the view.

Look at this.

[Mong Village (The Mong Village Resort & Spa)] "It's located in a high mountain area"

"offering great scenery"

"and romantic breakfasts on the terrace."

[Everyone agrees it's a great choice!]

The rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows so you can always see terraced rice fields.

Are you some kind of audiobook AI?

[Thanks to Jung-min's AI mode] Then it's settled.

[They decide to go straight] When we get off at the station

[to the accommodations from Lao Cai Station] we'll head straight to Mong Village.

So instead of going to Sapa town

we'll go directly from Lao Cai Station to the hotel resort.

[Smirking while listening]

You know why I'm laughing?

Nothing ever goes according to plan…

[A realist who knows how things work]

Stop bringing that book!

You're addicted to it.

[Haha] He's addicted to that book.

Don't you realize it's why our currency exchange plans got messed up?

[Defending his precious travel guide] We have to head to the accommodations.

[The unshakable audiobook AI continues] So, we're going to Mong Village Resort.

[10 minutes by car] It's about a 10-minute drive

[A hotel not far from Sapa town] from Sapa town.

Oh, that's great.

The important thing is

from Lao Cai Station to Sapa town, it takes one hour.

[So / To the hotel] It's one hour and 10 minutes!

Jinx!

We'll take a private van or minibus

to Sapa

pay about 30,000 won

and head to the resort. That sounds good, right?

It's even cheaper than getting here from the airport.

[Plans always sound perfect] If we go and tell them to wait

[Another suggestion] while we stay at the resort

[Ask them to wait while checking in] then say we'll pay extra once we check in

since we'll head out to Sapa town anyway

[1-Day Rental Plan] we can ask them to

take us around Sapa town for the day.

Let's rent them for a day. That's the idea, right?

[Tempting 1-Day Rental] For example, 100 dollars for one day.

We'll just ask "How much will it cost?" and negotiate.

- Are you going to do it? - Do you think you can negotiate?

Not me!

[I never said I would] I'll fail.

You went in to get a business card

but you couldn't even speak and just walked out.

He used body language to ask for a business card like this.

So, what did you say?

[The brothers outside are still unaware of what really happened with the business card]

I went in, and a woman was holding a menu and asked

if I had a reservation and how many people there were…

She said something about a reservation.

At that moment

[Completely] I couldn't remember

[blanking out] the English for "business card."

Name card.

But then

I made eye contact with the PD.

So?

"Let's just go…"

The PD looked at me like

"What kind of guy is this?"

[It's a big misunderstanding]

Can't we use a translator just once?

[Back to the 1-day rental deal discussion] I have a good idea.

Remember that really kind train station worker?

- We could ask him… - He's probably off work by now.

There must be someone else.

Just ask what the basic rate for a one-day car rental

[Haha] in Sapa is.

It says here it's 200,000 won(?)

Do you still believe that?

[A clash between the guidebook believer and skeptic]

Look at all the trouble we've had because of this.

[Despite reading it] Still, it should be somewhat accurate.

[thoroughly] I can't trust this information anymore.

[Guidebook excerpt Private Limousine: Hanoi → Sapa]

[Jung-min confused the rental cost from Hanoi to Sapa]

[(Not the 1-day rental cost in Sapa)]

Doesn't that price seem different?

We tend to get ripped off sometimes.

[Haha]

- They don't give discounts. - I see you're aware of that.

[Dealer Seokjin laments the "no discount" rip-offs]

We've been overcharged

here and there in bits and pieces.

Let's be honest.

How much have we been overcharged?

For a seven-seater taxi…

[The crew, who used an app paid 450,000 dong for their taxi]

Is the meter different?

So, we paid 150,000 dong more…

[Likely due to catching it on-site and confusion about the destination]

450,000 dong is about 22,000 won.

We paid 10,000 won more.

[640,000 dong] Ours was roughly 32,000 won.

That's not too bad. It's all part of the journey.

A slight overcharge is nothing.

[Dealer Seokjin breathes a sigh of relief] That's hardly a scratch.

So, will you handle the negotiations tomorrow?

I'll give it a try.

He's pretty good at that stuff.

An original "Ugly Korean."

[First-generation Ugly Korean] He's first-generation, so He can handle it.

I'll negotiate, but I need one favor.

If I walk away during the act

[Got it] don't ask, "Where are you going?"

[Seokjin's meticulous Ugly Korean negotiation plan]

It's all part of the show. Even if I'm not satisfied, walking away is part of the deal.

If we leave now

[8:55] we have about 30 minutes.

[Discussion until checkout time approaches] We need to leave by 9.

Since we have to check out.

- Should we grab a quick coffee downstairs? - Solving everything with money again?

Another coffee?

Aren't you going to sleep later?

What did he say?

[This would be the third cafe of the day] He's suggesting we grab a coffee.

[Seokjin wants to hit another cafe] Where will we spend 30 minutes?

Hey, where do you want to go for 30 minutes?

Stop drinking coffee already.

[Train boarding time: 9:30] Then where will we stay for 30 minutes?

[The eldest needs a place to wait for 30 minutes] There's a lounge over there…

- Let's go. - Where?

Or should we grab some pho?

[Anything but a cafe sounds good] There's a place to eat nearby.

How many meals are we eating today?

Or should we look for some banh mi?

Then where do you want to go?

We could just sit and wait at the station.

At the station?

[Feel like eating something] Let's just head out first.

[Deciding to leave the hotel first] We need to clear out of here.

Let's get going.

[PM 9:00 checkout complete] I'll handle the checkout.

It's nice that the station is so close.

[Praising the suggestion to stay at Mango Hotel] It's great that the station is nearby.

Hey, there's a VIP room here.

[VIP ROOM] It's a waiting lounge.

[Paid station lounge fee per person: 20,000 dong / includes bottled water]

It's like an airport lounge.

[Feeling hungry] So, they might have food here, right?

Are we even allowed in?

But we're only waiting for 30 minutes.

[Feels like a waste?] Does it seem wasteful?

Yeah, it's a bit of a waste.

[The younger ones vote against it]

[But then] Hey

when are we ever going to spend money?

We brought 800 dollars each!

[Walking around all day, barely spending anything] We've exchanged only

about 400,000 won today.

Or…

Should we just go to that coffee shop?

[Recalling the eldest's cafe suggestion] Let's just stay there.

[The second eldest, being considerate] OK, let's go.

[Deciding to wait at the cafe across the street] Good.

You're walking faster now.

Yeah, I want to get there quickly.

I want to have an iced coffee as soon as possible.

[Highlands Coffee: Vietnam's representative local coffee brand]

[Ranked No.1 in market share among Vietnamese coffee chains]

[He missed his bedtime]

- This is delicious. - It's refreshing.

Oh, it's cool and nice. Have some croissant.

[Se Chan also recommends a warm banh mi] It's warm.

- What's that? - Banh mi.

[Big bite]

It's good, right?

Mmm. Nice.

[Bread]

[Takes a big bite of croissant]

Let's have a nice lunch in Sapa!

Aren't we having lunch?

[Hungry Jee bursts out in frustration] The car leaves at 2, Jung-min.

[Glare] Aren't we having lunch?

That "delicious, delicious"…

Please, let's eat something that isn't delicious for once.

- No, but look. - Don't you know you eat everything?

[Jung-min, who acts picky but eats the most]

When we get there, you always enjoy the food the most.

[Caught]

We've only had

one Vietnamese meal since we got here.

- Does that make sense? - No.

[The youngest agrees with the eldest] We've had one meal.

- Just one meal. - We've only had one meal?

One meal, at that great restaurant earlier.

What did we eat? Feels like we've eaten a lot.

No, including the pho, we've only had one meal.

We've only had one meal?

[One restaurant and three cafes. It's true. Only one meal!]

[Genuinely surprised] Why have we only had one meal?

We've only had one meal.

You guys aren't hungry. That's what's weird!

What did we eat?

- That, and then cake… - After the cake, we were stuffed.

- Still holding on because of that. - Oh, so we didn't eat.

Having breakfast tomorrow and a nice lunch.

[Frustration explodes] How is that such a crime?

[Hungry Jee is now Angry Jee]

Hahaha!

[Hahaha] We've only had one meal all day.

[Quietly eats bread] Just one meal.

Don't you think that's too much?

[Frustrated]

Look at him. He's the youngest can't even say anything, starving.

We came to Vietnam and had just one meal?

It's them who won't eat.

You all saw it.

[Gyegukji, you all know how I feel, right?] You know I'm right.

I got a bit worked up.

[Defending himself, even spitting a bit] Oh, I see.

Wow, we really didn't eat enough.

[Shocked, they recount their meals] Then I didn't eat on the plane.

What did we eat?

Oh! At the airport lounge, that's what we had.

[Munches bread again] That counts as breakfast, technically.

So… In Hanoi…

We had one meal.

[Still shocked after hearing it again] You can think of it that way.

We each saved a million won

It's not that we can't spend it. We just don't!

[Still upset] What annoys me is…

We spent 40,000 won total for our meal today.

[Wow]

[If only they didn't use apps] Nine of us spent 40,000 won on food

[They didn't spend money and ended with one meal] and we didn't spend anything else.

Then the cake was just 10,000 won.

What's frustrating is that when I say, "Let's eat"

- you all act like I'm some kind of mooch. - It's really funny we've only had one meal.

Now that I think about it

- I feel sorry for Seokjin and Se Chan. - Apologize quickly.

- I'm sorry. - I feel bad.

[Apologizing for criticizing their eating] Apologize now. I didn't know either.

I'm sorry.

[Let's eat something good tomorrow] Let's go have steak tomorrow.

[like Michelin]

Let's have breakfast, lunch and dinner in Sapa tomorrow.

[A humble dream] Three meals in one day?

- At the best places. - Let's do it!

Do you know the best places?

[Doesn't know, but let's try anyway] I don't know.

Still, I think it's great we've been walking around

and staying so active today.

We walked 14,000 to 15,000 steps.

With just one meal.

[Haha] Just one meal.

[Tougher than a youth hiking trip across the country]

So tomorrow's breakfast will taste even better.

We'll really eat well tomorrow.

[Scheduled to arrive at Lao Cai Station at 6 a.m. tomorrow]

Will there even be a place to eat breakfast at 6?

[A hallmark of Punghyanggo travels] Then we can just eat

[Planning something that won't work out] in the dining car, right?

Or we can eat breakfast at the hotel.

Hotel breakfast…

We'll have to pay for it.

[Willing to spend at Sapa] Then we just pay for it.

Or should we bring breakfast forward to today?

[An unconventional approach] That's not allowed.

We'd have to negotiate… "I'll skip breakfast tomorrow…"

What are you, here to negotiate?

A dealer?

[Born to be a dealer] I won't have breakfast tomorrow.

What are you even negotiating?

Let's just settle it this way.

Hahaha.

Seokjin is seriously funny.

[Still thinking] Could that work? Eating ahead of time…

Then get the in-flight meal too.

Where will you get that, from the sky?

Anyway, let's just go and pay for it.

Hey, shouldn't we be leaving now?

[9:25 p.m., just 5 minutes before boarding starts]

- We should go. - Let's go.

[How beautiful must it be for us to take a sleeper train to get there?]

Wow, we're trying something like this now. This is amazing.

[Excited about riding a sleeper train for the first time]

This is truly something to remember.

I never thought I'd ride something like this in my life.

- Oh, this is it! - Is this the one?

[A glimpse of the train appears]

[Carefully checking seat numbers] Where is seat 12A?

Wow, this is really…

What an experience.

Incredible.

[Finally facing the sleeper train]

[The peak of romantic travel excitement for any traveler]

[Stepping inside the train]

[The atmosphere feels like stepping into a fairytale]

This is incredible!

- Hey! I'm getting nervous. - Wow, the cabins look like small rooms.

[The four brothers are as excited as kids seeing this for the first time]

- It's so pretty. - This is amazing!

This is so fun.

This is the ultimate in romance.

[Waving inside the cabin]

This is so much fun!

Wow, how is this even possible?

This is so cool!

[Completely amazed] This is seriously cool.

It's lively here, with people drinking beer!

[Quickly arriving at 12A while exploring]

- Where's our room? - 12A.

12A, here it is.

[Our room is right there as soon as we enter the hallway]

[Four beds in the room welcome the brothers]

12A, here!

[Camera / Microphone / Camera]

[You'd have to be clueless to miss it] This is it, right?

The four-person room?

Wait a second, it looked so spacious earlier.

[The cabin feels much smaller inside than it did outside]

[But still has essentials, including snacks]

It really looked big earlier.

[A bit startled by the limited space] How's the room?

Let's decide on spots by playing

rock-paper-scissors.

[Fairly deciding spots with a game] Sounds good.

That's the fairest way.

Let's play rock-paper-scissors.

[Everyone gathers]

- Rock-paper-scissors! - To decide where to sleep.

Rock-paper-scissors!

Rock-paper-scissors!

[Jae Seok wins]

Oh, I won again?

I can't win even once.

Where should I sleep? Should I take the top?

The top's better.

[The opposite of what he said] Is the bottom better?

[Caught trying to nudge others toward the top bunk while taking the bottom]

Did you hear him?

"The top's better," trying to go for the bottom…

- I'm fine with anything. - The top is the land of dreams and adventure.

I'm good with anything too.

Hurry up and decide!

Fine, you older guys take the bottom.

[He gives up the comfortable spot for the two] We'll take the top.

The top is great!

[Really, it's fine] I'll take the top bunk.

Seriously?

[But the limited space poses a luggage problem] There's nowhere to put the luggage here.

It's cool here.

Can the suitcase fit under there?

Does it not fit?

Just step on the suitcase. It's fine.

[Using the suitcase as a step] Careful, careful.

What's there to be careful about?

The suitcase is definitely a problem.

Is there nowhere underneath to store it?

[Wobbly attempt to solve the issue] I'll take care of it.

No, what are you doing?

[What are you doing?] What are you up to?

Wow, this is so fun.

This is pure romance.

If you came here with your family the kids would absolutely love it.

[Something nice reminds them of their families] The kids would love it.

[Struggling with luggage]

- Ah, it's not working. - Jung-min, your kids

[Another suitcase inside] would really enjoy this.

[The hallway fills up with just two suitcases] There's one more suitcase.

Let's just put it up there.

Okay.

- Sorry if it's inconvenient. - It's fine.

[After sorting the luggage, Se Chan climbs up]

Whoa!

[Thunk]

Hey, watch the camera.

[Aligns with the camera angle] It's good.

- Wow! - This is awesome.

[Lost in the romance again]

This is really fun.

[Haha] Look at the vibe.

This is amazing. So much fun.

[Even their toes are excited] Is there really a place like this?

This is too fun.

[Feels like a high school trip from Punghyanggo] This is just so much fun.

I'm serious.

Let's tell scary stories here or something.

[Back to their childhood selves] Let's play truth or dare too!

[Punghyanggo travel satisfaction 5/5] This is so nice.

I need to film this and show it to my family.

[Jae Seok's cam] So

[To. Gyeong-eun, Ji-ho, Na-eun] I'm on the train to Sapa now.

[Switching camera view] Take a look at how this place is.

[Filming every corner enthusiastically] This is amazing!

Down here is Jung-min

and below here is Seoksam.

It's like this.

Na-eun, you have to come here with Dad.

You must come, okay?

[Excitedly wants to film too] Come with Dad.

This place feels like it's straight out of a fairytale.

[Everyone is thrilled and in filming mode] Should I film something too?

[Now it's Jung-min's cam]

Are you filming me?

No.

Not filming? Are you filming yourself?

Like this, like this.

Let me hold it up and film for you.

[Helping each other film]

Okay, look here.

[Now it's Seokjin's cam]

- There's even a hook right here. - This is fun.

[Dynamic moves] This is how the rooms are set up.

[Even this family-sharing video is filled with personality]

- It was 28 dollars per person, right? - About 35,000 won.

It's 35,000 won.

[Bye bye]

[Chaotic selfie cam session ends]

[Spots bananas] There are bananas here too.

We can eat them for breakfast.

Hey, don't talk about eating bananas for breakfast.

[Touchy about meals due to the one-meal issue] It's making me mad.

Later, this train will pass by that cafe.

Which cafe?

[The cafe on the railroad tracks we visited earlier]

Does this train go along that same track?

[Even has photos] That cafe we went to earlier.

[Seeing the railroad village from the train is another highlight of the trip!]

Amazing.

Are you drinking beer?

Wave at people and greet them.

[You can see it as soon as the train departs]

Of course, we have to watch it.

Haven't you slept yet?

[Talking to family]

Honey, you saw this, right? Isn't this train amazing? Let's come together next time.

That's so sweet.

The kids would love this. It's perfect for a family trip.

It'd be great to bring Se-hyeon and the baby here.

I prayed today.

[Talking about their visit to Ngoc Son Temple earlier in the day]

I burned incense

and prayed for Se-hyeon to succeed.

[On the second floor, they try a humidifying mask] There's some water down below

[Taking care] so you just take one out and put it in here.

[The humidifying mask from the kit received at the airport]

[Inserting the water-soaked pad]

"My last love."

What's that?

- My son, haha. - Your son?

He was told to sing a song.

Wow, he's really cheerful.

Hey there

It's Uncle Seokjin from Running Man! This is Jee Seokjin.

Oh, hello!

[A cheerful and polite son even during an unexpected call]

- Wow, so grown-up! - See you next time!

Thank you. Haha!

- Jae Seok's here too. - See you later!

- Yang Se Chan is here as well. - Hello.

I'm a big fan.

[That's my son] What a great personality.

Dad Jung-min called because this place is so amazing that

he wanted to suggest coming here with his family next time.

[Sleeper train] You really have to come, okay?

[Hand the phone back to Dad] Wait a second.

Let's hang up now.

[Call ends]

[10 p.m., the train begins to move]

Oh, we're moving!

Wow, it's really going.

Did they say we'd pass by that railroad village?

Yeah, I really want to see that!

Honestly, this is the kind of trip I should've done in my 20s…

That's a bit of a regret.

[Seoksam gets a little sentimental] I didn't even know things like this existed.

Back then, I was too busy just trying to make a living.

[Breaking the mood] No, you were busy partying

not making a living.

[Protecting the vibe] I didn't have the chance to go on trips like this.

Imagine coming here with friends, having a drink.

How great would that be if you were a college student?

Talking about everything while having a drink.

Laughing, crying, just letting it all out.

Staying up all night talking that'd be so much fun.

Oh, look, we're passing through the city now!

- Wow. - Wow, this is incredible.

You guys have to see this!

[Outside the window appears the railroad village we visited today]

[Hastily pulling out their phones to capture the moment]

[Colorful shops that look like toys]

Isn't this where our cafe was earlier?

This is amazing.

[Pure joy, full of happiness] That's the cafe we were at earlier.

That's the one!

It's right in front of us, so close.

[All together enjoying this surreal world] Wave now!

[Pressed against the window to get a closer look]

Wow, look at that. They're lifting their legs!

[The train passes so close they have to lift their legs off the floor in surprise]

[Waving]

[Me too]

This is unreal…

[Taking a quick trip to a magical world]

- Sleep well! - Are you going to sleep?

[Sleepy Jae Seok heads off to dreamland] Good work today. See you tomorrow in Sapa.

Okay, okay. Sleep tight.

Goodnight, everyone.

Goodnight, Gyegukji!

[Seoksam's unique moving camera] Sleep well.

[Wrapping up day one of the Hanoi trip]

Wow, how long has it been since I've stretched my legs like this to sleep?

Right.

That one meal we had today is still so funny to me.

It's a bit shocking.

Let's eat well tomorrow, SsaebSsaeb.

[Drifting off to sleep dreaming of a feast in Sapa]

[5:00 a.m. local time]

[First to wake up Jae Seok returning from the restroom]

[Moving quietly]

[Rustling noises]

[Se Chan wakes up]

[Catching Jae Seok sneaking back in without turning on the light to avoid waking the others]

[Thanks to the youngest, he makes it back safely]

[Jung-min also wakes up]

Is there about an hour left?

[One hour until arrival at Lao Cai Station] One hour left.

Jung-min wakes up around this time too

so it's just natural for him to wake up now.

[At 7:00 a.m. Korean time the three early risers wake up out of habit]

[Flashlight ON / Seokjin still fast asleep]

I didn't sleep deeply

but I feel refreshed.

[The early risers try to figure out how to light the room without waking the eldest]

[Moving around]

[They kept thinking they should sleep but couldn't sleep properly]

Really?

[Trying to block the light with tissues unsuccessfully at first]

[Another attempt]

[Realizing tissues make no difference]

[They adjust to the opposite side]

I was thinking, "Wow, they both sleep so well"

and felt envious.

Then I just passed out.

[And woke up to morning light]

[Lip balm care]

Sleeping on an empty stomach last night makes me hungry now.

[Wakes up] But that feels satisfying.

Going to bed without eating much at night feels good somehow.

[Unintentionally trying 16:8 intermittent fasting] When you don't eat at night, the morning…

- You wake up really hungry. - I'm hungry too.

Didn't you eat a pastry last night?

What did I eat? A croissant?

- Yeah. - Oh, come on!

That's not even real food. It's just hollow bread.

Thinking about it, you're right.

- We only had one meal. - I told you, we only ate one meal.

[Still stuck on the mysterious one-meal issue] Why does it feel like we ate so much?

What's the weather going to be like here?

I heard the view is supposed to be stunning there.

Most places are said to have incredible views.

[The closer they get, the more excited they feel] Many restaurants offer great views.

Where? In Sapa?

- Yeah. - Yep.

It's like the Switzerland of Vietnam.

I'm really looking forward to it since I've never been to a place like this.

The resort we're going to

should have an amazing view.

[Excited to see Sapa's breathtaking scenery soon] It's going to be fantastic. I can't wait.

I'm genuinely excited.

[Jung-min starts his morning playlist]

- Weren't you cold? - I was freezing.

[Even with the AC blocked, the train was too cold] I was so cold.

But surprisingly, no one snored.

I usually grind my teeth when I sleep. Was it okay?

- Did I grind my teeth? - I don't know.

[Sleep like passing out]

[Sleeper Train Top Bunk POV starring Jae Seok] Finally, we're arriving.

After riding this sleeper train for…

Are you vlogging or something?

10 hours…

[Loading… Too early to calculate time accurately]

Weren't you cold?

I was okay.

But I heard you talking to yourself

in your sleep, saying you were cold.

I was so cold I slept wearing extra clothes.

[Next stop, Lao Cai Station]

[Morning on the sleeper train: As the destination approaches, the staff visits each cabin]

[This ensures passengers don't miss their stop]

Oh! We need to play rock-paper-scissors to pick the leader.

Whoever becomes the leader… Let's choose a good car to ride.

[What this means is]

[Last night at Mango Hotel] We're talking about doing a one-day rental.

[Right after discussing the Lao Cai → Sapa plan] Including everything…

How will we get to Hanoi Airport?

[The discussion continues] It's a six-hour ride

[Additional agenda: Sapa → Hanoi return trip] so we should just take a bus comfortably.

[(Option 1) Sleeper bus from the guidebook] We could just take the bus.

[Standard fare: 470,000 dong (about 25,850 won)] There's also an option

[No negotiation needed (EASY)] where they drive us

[(Option 2) Limousine bus] all the way to the airport.

[4~5 million dong (200,000~250,000 won)] We need to ask about the total cost

[Negotiation required (HARD)] for a two-day rental.

[Choosing the right rental car will be key!] We should check what kind of bus it is.

[Sleeper bus? You saw it in the guidebook] You saw it.

The two-tier sleeper seats.

[Still learning about each other] It had seats on the first and second floors.

Are we renting a whole two-tier bus?

Should we pick a leader now?

Let's just wrap up in Sapa and go.

Let's pick a leader tomorrow!

[This is how the Sapa → Hanoi return trip] Tomorrow we'll decide

[discussion ended in uncertainty] whether to take the train, bus, or limousine.

[Last night / Discussion resumes]

[Leaning toward extending a private rental]

We should consider heading straight to the airport.

That's why I suggested earlier that we rent

a really good limousine bus from Lao Cai Station

and negotiate with the driver!

[Jung-min's suggestion] For today and tomorrow.

[Request a 2-day rental for Lao Cai→Sapa→Airport] And find out the total cost to the airport.

Will you handle this negotiation?

[Avoids eye contact]

Why don't you try negotiating first?

Me… I prefer the sleeper bus.

[Jee-Keyring] Okay, go with what you want.

[Still unable to narrow down the options] It's not that I want it

it's just a possibility.

- Let's figure it out tomorrow. - There are many ways.

[An always-open ending with no clear decisions]

There are so many opinions before we pick a leader.

Thankfully, once we have a leader, it's decided!

The leader will pick the car negotiate, and handle everything!

The leader?

I really don't want to be the leader…

[No delegating allowed] The leader does it.

[The leader negotiates the rental for the trip] Just handle it somehow.

- That's what being a leader is. - Exactly.

[Thus, no one wanted to be the first leader in Sapa (Negotiation duty)]

This could be a major disaster.

[Exception: Discount Man] Seokjin, don't you want to do it?

[Back to the highly anticipated moment] Rock, paper, scissors!

[Who will be chosen?]

[6:00 a.m., arrival at Lao Cai Station] Thank you.

Hey, the weather!

How do you say this weather?

It's not cold!

[The four brothers are surprised by the unexpectedly mild weather]

Jung-min, it's not cold at all.

[To reach the true Sapa, they must ascend 1,600m from Lao Cai Station]

[Sapa in October feels like autumn in Korea]

You could even wear short sleeves.

Is this the way we're supposed to go?

- Where are we going? - I think it's this way.

[The crew remains silent leaving the question unanswered]

[After wandering a bit they decide to head straight]

Everyone keeps asking the staff where to go

but they're not responding.

Oh my.

- Seriously, it's so ridiculous. - Let's just follow the crowd.

This is so disappointing!

Even last night, when we were heading back, they didn't say a word!

[It's part of the rules, but they're annoyed] We're busy trying to find our way…

It's like they don't care

if we get lost or scammed!

Fine, let's just go wherever the wind takes us.

Oh, there are a lot of tourists here.

Hi.

[Keep walking, pretending not to notice]

[Seokjin greets people with high energy]

They're from Australia, from Australia.

You seem to be in a good mood.

Yeah, I am.

[Can't speak long sentences in English] Meeting travelers lifted my mood.

[But Jason loves interacting with other travelers] I can't say much, but…

Have a good day!

[Suddenly startled] Wow, there are so many cars here.

[Lao Cai Station's parking lot is full] Aren't those the minibuses

you were talking about?

- There are taxis too. - So many vans.

[Lao Cai Station → Sapa Even without reservations]

[There are plenty of options private vans, minibuses, taxis]

[Leader revealed] We should head over there, right?

For now

[Morning leader on day two is revealed: Jung-min] Jung-min is the leader.

Hey, it looks like there's a place to eat over there too.

Hold on, no need

to negotiate yet.

[Excited] Those buses, see? The white ones.

[Dealer Jee instincts can't wait] That's the kind we need, like that one.

[Obedient team members follow] Is that white one a limousine bus?

[Scanning rental options while waiting] How about that red one?

Why are you taking off your jacket?

It's hot.

Thinking about being the leader is making me sweat.

You're nervous, huh?

Wait, I'm going to the restroom real quick.

Go ahead.

[Leader returns after changing] So, what's the plan, leader?

Don't stress, leader.

[Maximum stress] Hey, what about something like that?

[Hey]

Don't be nervous.

[How can I not be?]

Let's choose a better one.

Should we ask for two days?

[Leader considers logistics including Hanoi return]

Are we deciding everything here?

If that's the case, we should get something much better.

Then…

How about that bus over there?

That bus.

[That Bus] That's a double-decker bus.

[It's the sleeper bus from the guidebook] Oh, so this is it.

The sleeper bus.

Let's eat first.

- Eat first? - Yeah.

[Weren't you insisting on sorting the rental?] Weren't you going to get the car first?

I changed my mind.

Then what are we doing for an hour?

[Ding-ding-ding] I can't take it anymore.

Let's eat! Sounds good.

Fine, let's eat.

[Life's path] There seems to be something on the left.

[isn't always a straight line] Anyway, if we go to the hotel now

we can't do early check-in.

It's better to wait for the busy hours to pass.

[Seokjin returns]

Those who made reservations in advance

have their drivers waiting up front.

[Likely reserved travelers] That's to be expected.

But look, there are so many cars here for us to choose from.

[But the leader insists on eating first] He says to eat first.

Fine, let's go.

[Hoping for more than two meals today] Let's find a 24-hour pork bone soup place.

There's probably one here.

I vote for eating.

I'm so hungry…

Or how about this? There's a gym over there. Want to work out?

What kind of idea is that?

If you become the leader, you can do it.

If I become the leader, I'm definitely going to make us exercise.

[Just in case, he's warning us about working out] Fine by me.

I'll go souvenir shopping instead.

[Street food stalls line the way] Yesterday

we ate at a place like this, right?

[He wants a different vibe today] So let's go to a proper restaurant.

Somewhere with walls? Not outdoors?

But do restaurants even open at this hour?

Wouldn't they?

Weren't you the one who wanted to eat?

[The kind of morning spot Jung-min had in mind] So, something like this.

It's probably only places like this.

Hey, there's a pho place!

[6:40 a.m. local time]

Isn't that pho over there?

There's pho?

P. H. O. Pho!

It seems like the only option around here.

Let's check that place out.

There's a restaurant up ahead.

Come on, just walk a little further!

[Didn't we walk enough yesterday?] We walked a lot yesterday.

Our only means of transport is walking!

No taxis, no buses, just our legs.

[Let's walk our way through Sapa] Let's keep going on foot.

[Q. What's different from yesterday?]

This trip really involves a lot of walking, doesn't it?

[Answer: Clothes and luggage] Wake up and start walking.

Is there nothing over here?

[No open places due to the early hour] It's too early in the morning.

So nothing's open.

[Nope! There has to be something] Let's keep looking for a good spot.

[Leader Hwang is unfazed] Right?

Holding that guidebook in one hand.

[Firmly holding onto three travel guidebooks] Is there a restaurant on the left?

Is that a telescope or what?

Down there.

Should we check out that lit-up place?

If not, I was thinking about that one over here.

[The leader has scoped out several spots from the front]

This place does pizza and stuff.

Pizza?

Pizza?

[Pizza lover Jae Seok charges ahead] Morning pizza? 6 a.m. pizza?

Morning pizza sounds great.

[Seeing the crowded restaurant raises expectations] There are so many people here

so it must be good.

But pho…

[Silent Zero Se Chan] Pizza in the morning, really?

How about pizza for breakfast?

[Carefully reading the menu]

- They have steak, too. - They have steak, too.

In the morning?

[Pizza is okay, but steak isn't?]

This place seems nice and cool.

[Murmuring to Seokjin] Don't you want pho?

The temperature…

Is pizza okay for breakfast?

But there are a lot of people here, so it must be good.

[The bookworm examines the menu] They even have Margherita pizza

and other things.

[Hungry] Let's eat that.

[Resigned] Sounds good.

- Let's eat something tasty. - They have spaghetti, too!

All the way to Vietnam…

But look.

There are a lot of people here…

[The group may wait for larger parties] Looks like some tourists just came in.

[Realization hits] We might end up waiting an hour here.

[Suggesting they go to the other lit-up spot]

Fine, it's up to the leader. Go ahead.

Then

Jung-min.

There…

There were a few other places over there.

Now

everyone's trying to impress the leader

to eat what they want!

[Seokjin's transparent scheme is exposed] "That's right, Leader."

Seokjin sticks to him like glue.

"Jung-min. What about over there?"

Jung-min isn't the type to eat just anything.

He always wants soup, no matter what.

[Fake Jung-min exposed] And it can't be near the station.

[Claims to eat anything but has preferences] It has to have a local vibe.

- Oh, this place seems nice. - Looks good.

I'm fine as long as it's pho!

[Leader Hwang spots a second restaurant] Cafe, restaurant.

[Tasty-looking menu items] They have banh mi and pizza.

[Still, carefully reading the menu is a must] Pancakes, pho.

- Looks good, doesn't it? - Vietnamese rice noodle soup.

[Approved/Jae Seok&Seokjin check out the seating] Should we sit here?

Very hot.

Excuse me.

[Confident communication Repeats "very hot" while requesting a fan]

Those seats are reserved.

[Reserved]

They've set everything up here.

This area is fine.

It's 6:40, and it's already reserved?

They said a group reservation?

[Seats available, luckily / Menu selection begins] I'll get this one.

- Pho? - Me too, pho.

You see pho and just…

Whenever I see "P. H. O.," I go crazy.

Pho

pancakes

and mountain omelets all look good.

[18 hours of fasting… Wants everything] They even have garlic bread.

Let's each get one pho.

[Discussion starts: 1 person, 1 pho] One pho each, and they also have pizza.

Didn't you say banh mi?

Banh mi! Order banh mi.

Isn't this banh mi?

[Discussion shifts to banh mi] Yes, it's a tuna sandwich.

Tuna?

- Tuna is fish, right? - Excuse me.

[Still deciding on the menu but]

Wanted to ask.

Um, do you know… Smell…

Uh… Pho!

[Fidgeting]

Green! Green…

Vegetarian?

[Seokjin's order might come without meat toppings]

[Explains again just in case]

No coriander?

[Finally finds the right word] Coriander! Coriander.

Me too, no coriander.

OK, no coriander.

[Jung-min / Se Chan] Yes, yes.

Coriander, OK.

No coriander.

[Coriander issue barely resolved]

Four beef pho?

I want chicken!

Four beef, one chicken?

Three beef, one chicken.

Three seafood?

[Quickly detects possible misunderstanding]

3 beef!

[Beef / Beef / Chicken / Chicken]

Two chicken, two beef!

Yes.

What do you recommend?

Oh, why does he always ask about favorites?

[While they wait for recommendations] We were going to order that earlier, remember?

[A group of guests floods in] Is this banh mi?

Lots of people are coming in. We should order quickly.

And cut four?

Ok, ok.

[Jung-min examines the omelet's ingredients] Bacon, onion, tomato.

[Adds omelet and banh mi to the order] Omelet, please.

So hungry.

[Another table gets served first]

[Quietly sulks] They're serving them first.

But they made a reservation.

[Pulls out the travel guidebook again]

We never make reservations…

[Slightly bitter]

We just wing it when we get here.

[Tour buses spotted in front of the restaurant] They came by bus.

The guide

must have brought them here…

It's probably all arranged.

Group tours make things like this easy.

[Summary: We're jealous]

Should we rent a car while we wait for the food?

[Leader Hwang suggests using downtime efficiently] It looks like

the food will take some time.

That owner probably knows a taxi driver, right?

[Signal to start a discussion] They really don't get along.

- The owner does. - This guy is always…

- He's always asking people around! - But those people have accurate info.

[Mutual frustration]

He trusts random people too easily!

It's Saturday today, right?

[Day 2 of the trip, Saturday] Yeah, it's Saturday.

Hotel rates might be a little higher since it's the weekend.

Weekends are usually pricier.

Didn't you say we have a lot of money?

We're rich.

Do you want to save or spend?

I want to spend.

After all the back and forth

it's finally decided.

But when you get there

[Quick retreat] you'll say, "Wow, this is expensive."

I just don't want to get ripped off…

Why are you like this, then?

[Hilarious contradiction] I don't want to overpay

but I do want to spend money. I just want to pay a fair price.

What we need to focus on now is

getting to SaPa efficiently, right?

- Not Sa Pa. - The hotel.

[The real goal: Getting to Mong Village!] To Mong Village.

[The production crew's table gets served first]

[Staring intently]

- Eat, eat. - Eat, eat, eat.

What did you order?

[Hungry meerkats gather stealthily] You ordered something like an American breakfast.

We got omelets.

We're getting omelets too.

[Relieved to see the same order] Omelets?

We ordered omelets.

Did that bread come with it?

[Relieved] We ordered that too.

Yeah, I want some bread.

[Trying not to stare too much] Enjoy your meal!

[Hungry meerkats move along] They're eating palm tree over there?

Coconut.

Why are you eating that in the morning?

Oh, come on, let them eat whatever they want!

You should eat rice in the morning.

[Fatherly concern] What does it matter to you? Let them eat.

[Finally, food arrives at the meerkat table]

[Jae Seok: Chicken Jung-min: Chicken with coriander]

[Seokjin: Beef Se Chan: Beef with coriander]

[Everyone's order slightly different]

[Next, the ordered omelets arrive] Something's here.

Omelets, omelets.

[The table fills up nicely] Looks delicious. Thank you.

[Fragrant baguettes and soft omelets]

[Looking for pho seasoning] The sauce… Why didn't they give us the sauce?

I'll go get it.

Look at him confidently stepping up!

Hot sauce.

Sauce, sauce, hot sauce.

[Grabs salt and pepper first]

Can you wait just one minute for the chili sauce?

[No rush]

They'll bring the hot sauce for us.

This looks delicious…

[Gulp]

[The youngest preps the food nicely] This looks great.

I'll eat it like this.

[Putting the omelet on bread]

[Adding strawberry jam for the perfect bite]

Yum.

[Enjoying the omelet while customizing pho]

[90% lost to the fan's breeze]

[Requested hot sauce arrives]

[Tastes it first]

[Satisfied with the spicy flavor adds it immediately]

[Slurp, slurp]

Is it good?

[Satisfied with the second bowl of local pho] Try adding a bit. It's pretty good.

Not bad.

[Everyone enjoys pho their own way]

This is tasty.

[Adding pepper inspired by the others]

Pepper adds a nice touch.

[Hot sauce is a hit] This is great.

[Seokjin goes for a refill]

[Also requests sliced chilies] Sliced chili.

Do you have sriracha sauce?

Sriracha sauce? Sriracha sauce!

He keeps saying "sriracha, sriracha."

[The one saying "hot sauce, hot sauce" earlier]

Excuse me? Chop, ch-chop chili.

[Request for chopped chili complete] Chop chili, please.

[Last dish, banh mi arrives] Thank you.

[Rough in appearance but] banh mi! banh mi.

[A warm and delicious classic banh mi]

[Busy hands of hungry eaters]

[Mixing quickly]

[Slurp, slurp]

Mmm!

[On day 2 of the Vietnam trip] This is great.

[Enjoying pho like it's a comforting bowl of soup] Adding this sauce makes it so flavorful.

[Loving the spicy kick] It's just the right heat.

[Jae Seok finishes his noodles] You already finished, Jae Seok.

[Cheers with banh mi]

This is delicious.

Honestly… Everything's good

but I'm a little worried we didn't book the accommodations.

We'll just have to wing it when we get there.

[Head worries while mouth eats] It's the weekend, after all.

[Thankful for the hot sauce] Perfect. I wish I could pour this over rice.

[Satisfied after a spicy meal] I'd love to pour this over rice.

This is just 2,000 won.

That's unbelievable.

For 2,000 won, this is insane.

Let's treat the crew to breakfast.

[Generous brothers even to the production team] Sure.

We've got plenty of money.

Even if we pay for everyone here…

[Scanning the bill estimate]

- 50,000 won? - We can even pack lunch from here.

[What a great meal] So then…

[Time to start negotiating?] Now it's time for the hard part…

Making a decision.

We've still got an hour, right?

You're still the leader.

Wait, it's almost over.

- Really? - Once we grab our bags, it's done.

- Why are you so determined not to lead? - Oh, so that's why we ate?

[Leader Hwang avoiding his responsibilities] You ate just to avoid negotiating?

[Doesn't want to negotiate] He hates negotiating.

[Wants to negotiate] He loves negotiating.

He's addicted to deals.

Sometimes, he's pretty good at it…

But honestly, I think I'm the best negotiator here.

That's because you're shameless.

[FUN FUN]

You just go straight in with no filter.

Jung-min hates it so much.

[Why opposites attract]

He's like, "What's wrong with this guy?"

If I had to put it positively I'd call it boldness.

Boldness?

I find it fun.

Do you enjoy it?

Negotiating during a trip is really fun.

Like, even when I'm buying little trinkets at a market and say

"Discount, please?" If they give me even a small discount

it's exciting.

[Traveling means different things to everyone]

- That's part of the fun of traveling. - Totally get that.

[Respecting different styles and strengths] It's genuinely fun.

And I think

you're really good at it, too.

You don't even ask for discounts, do you?

I don't.

He never negotiates.

On the other hand, when you're selling something you're probably generous with discounts, right?

I just say, "Take it and go."

So that's why you two!

[Polar opposite travel styles] Your travel styles couldn't be more different.

I should buy something from you. Got anything for sale?

Without the cameras

Jung-min probably would've hit you by now.

[Nobody denies it] Without the cameras…

Hey! I don't get hit.

It probably would've gotten physical by now.

[Why does this feel familiar?] "You'd hit me? Really hit me?"

Do you know who's the most mature here?

Se Chan!

[Nods all around, no arguments]

You're all kids! You two are just big kids!

But at least I can read the room.

I can see his anger

building up in real time.

It's like…

And then I stop!

[Stream-of-consciousness banter in Lao Cai] I can literally see the steam rising from him.

[The negotiation discussion begins again] Honestly

[Conclusion: The best discount man is Seokjin] when it comes to discounts here…

- You should do it. - You're the best at it.

But please, don't negotiate anything else.

Just arrange our transport to the destination we agreed on.

Just get the address for the accommodation.

Sure, show them the photo.

Just stick to that.

We'll step back while you negotiate.

[Feeling the pressure]

So now everything's on me.

I'm not even that good at negotiating…

[Revised plan] Let's skip the one-day rental

[Focus on getting to the Sapa accommodation] and just deal with this.

So, no leader for now?

[Temporarily suspending the leader system] Let's just… All right.

Manager then!

Manager, okay.

[Financial Manager heads to settle the bill] I'll take care of it.

Then…

I'll hold onto this

and if they ask, I'll show them.

You two, don't stick together.

[Polar opposites] Just stay seated for now.

[To prevent any bickering mid-negotiation] Let me pay first.

[Repeated reminders] Seriously, don't stick together.

I can already imagine…

[Predictable scene] "Just do it!"

"Let's go!"

It's only 3,000 won…

[Tapping] Here.

[Ominous foresight] Did you rip this out?

[Tears out the page with the resort details] Good, good.

[Deal Manager studies the details immediately] Mong Village Resort, four stars.

[Everyone prepares to leave together]

[Dealer Jee sneaks away]

[No one notices] I really want to go there

- up in the mountains. - Where?

3,500 meters.

Sapa? Sapa?

What? He already started?

Oh no, no, no, Sapa.

[When did he even leave?] Why is he over there?

[Off-camera, already doing market research solo]

[Amazed while packing up]

That guy is something else.

[Production crew rushes catch up with Seokjin] He loves doing this stuff.

[Negotiation scene] Oh really? One person?

[Negotiating in progress] Big car?

[Packing the suitcase]

[Making a payment / Browsing around]

Same, this car?

Hey! Hey!

Seokjin, just take the luggage with you.

Where is it?

Where's the luggage?

- It's right here. - Oh, right.

"Where's the luggage?"

Totally slipped my mind.

[Meanwhile, Financial Manager checks the bill]

[Order summary: 2 beef pho, 2 chicken pho]

[1 omelet, 1 banh mi + crew's table]

[Confirmed all items]

So, the first table ordered four dishes?

[Carefully tallying the total] That's right.

[Final bill: 965,000 dong (about 50,000 won)]

[Financial Manager's estimate matches perfectly] A meal set for 50,000 won.

[After verifying the change, joins the others]

Oh really? Same car?

Oh my… Really?

Okay, thank you!

Thank you, my friend.

[Waves goodbye to his new friend]

[U-turns back] I was just blown away.

[Shares surprising new info with the group] I got some info just now.

A car like this

to Sapa

costs only 2,500 won per person.

[Even more surprising revelation] You know what? I realized

how much you enjoy negotiating.

Oh, I love it.

I saw…

[Exhibit 1: Radiant smile while negotiating] When you're negotiating, you light up.

[Exhibit 2: Forgetting his luggage in the process] Seeing you leave the luggage behind to negotiate.

[New title: Negotiation Maniac] You're a real negotiation maniac.

But not exactly great at it.

Wow… Everyone's gone now, though.

[While we were eating, something changed] They're all gone now.

[Empty]

[At Lao Cai Station: Since few trains stop here]

[Drivers usually wait for arrivals but leave soon after (not always available)]

- Everyone's gone… - Wait, are there no cars?

[In disbelief / laughing] There are no taxi drivers?

[The problem isn't negotiation anymore] They've all left.

[How are we getting to Sapa now?] With or without negotiating, there are no cars.

[It's over. The discount man's challenge ends before it even begins]

[In the way] Your shoulders must feel heavy.

Ugh…

[8… What kind of sign could this be?]

Truly flimsy!

[When you least expect it, certified weakling] So weak, so weak.

[Ha ha ha]

That car… Let's ask about it.

All the people have already left.

No, that one car over there.

It's like there's only one car left as if by magic.

- There's one car over there. - Should we ask about it?

[The negotiation manager hurries over] Asking doesn't hurt.

If it's too expensive, I won't do it. Just leave it to me.

Ah… That one's reserved.

It's reserved!

- There's luggage inside. -Just ask anyway. Go on, ask!

Wait. Hey, and this.

This makes us look like tourists.

[Passing off the suitcase] You hold onto it.

If you don't carry this you won't look like a tourist?

[Easily disguised as a local]

[Casually greets, "Hi!"]

We wanna go to this resort in Sapa.

[Slightly nervous] Uh…

Build Mong Mountain Resort?

[Looking at the wrong page]

[Finally communicates the destination properly] Mong Village. Do you know?

Thank goodness Seokjin is here.

[The group waits, fully trusting Seokjin] Seokjin is really good at this.

Without him, we'd be in trouble.

He's so shameless

it works.

[But the group doesn't know] That's not an easy task.

I couldn't do it.

I couldn't do it either.

[Feeling nervous… Very nervous]

How many people?

Nine!

How much?

[Gestures to show the price on a calculator]

To Mong Village?

Mong Village, Mong Village. Do you know?

- 1 million. - 1 million?

[1 million dong, roughly 50,000 won]

[Fidgeting nervously]

D… D… Discount?

[A new price of 800,000 dong after a 200,000 dong discount]

[Hesitates]

[Traveling to downtown Sapa costs 600,000 dong]

[Mong Village is slightly further away]

More far?

- Eight… Now? - Eight hundred.

Eight… Hundred thousand?

Now okay?

Ten minutes.

After ten minutes?

Why?

[Completely unaware of the situation, they wait] Feels like we're the only ones left here…

Did everyone leave for breakfast?

[Reflecting] Originally, we should've just grabbed

one of the many cars here

and gone to downtown to eat there.

[That's the common tourist route] But weren't all the cars

[And they're in the minority] here pre-booked?

Could we really have just flagged down a car?

- Yeah. - Then we go to Sapa to eat?

So the leader made the worst decision earlier.

[Declared the worst decision-maker of 2024 by Punghyanggo vote]

Everyone said they were hungry!

You suggested eating just to avoid negotiating!

[Right, Se Chan?] Back at the station

everyone said they were hungry.

Seokjin must've said it a thousand times.

What is Seokjin even doing?

[The fake D/C expert still silent] Let me give it a try.

Be right back.

How much 1 Day?

[The thrifty negotiator asking about the price for 1 Day]

2 million, 1 Day.

- 1 Day within Sapa. - Hey! Why are you asking about 1 Day…

No, I'm just checking.

Wait!

[Urgently] That's…

Our production team's car…

What?

[That's our team's car]

[The car that seemed to be waiting for us was actually]

[When Seokjin approached the car]

[The production team filming inserts, looking confused]

[Receiving a message via chat]

[You're just acting, right? That's our insert team's car]

[What the]

[Requesting confirmation]

[Our luggage is still inside too]

That's the insert team's car.

Huh? What?

The car you were negotiating with

is the crew's car.

[Bursting into laughter]

- Why were you negotiating here? - They should've told me!

[We just found out too] They should've told me!

[Confused] But how did the negotiation go?

- But he gave me a deal. - Did you even manage a discount?

Why were you trying to negotiate with the production's car?

Doing double-duty?

[Chaos] But he gave me a deal.

For 1 full day.

[This is the set price] 100,000 won.

[Explaining the situation] When I said "9 people"

he hesitated for a moment.

Ah! Maybe he's calling a friend's car.

Ah, he might be calling a friend's car.

[Finally understanding the "after 10 minutes"] After 10 minutes… See? It's all working out.

[Confirming the new understanding]

Your friend's car?

Yeah, one car.

One more car?

[Nods] Your friend?

Ten minutes!

[Finally reassured] It's coming?

So he's sending another car.

Is it really 100,000 won for the whole day? Together?

- Then we can rent it for the day. - Should we take it for the whole day?

Wait a second…

Isn't that car one of those that doesn't recline?

[Moves immediately after hearing this] Should we check?

[It's team's car, it's okay to sit in it, right?] It's our staff's car.

Sit and see how it feels.

Give me your bag. I'll hold it.

[Hurrying over]

Give me the bag.

[Current affection levels 5/5]

This should be fine.

[Gets in] Actually

Seokjin usually doesn't handle things like this.

Normally, he leaves it to the youngest.

He usually doesn't do this.

[The proactive traveler] This is usually my role.

[Thanks to him, moments like this are easy] He looks like he's enjoying it.

He's enjoying it.

Look at him over there. Haha.

[Going down]

[Relaxing]

[Responsibility reflected in thorough testing]

- Seokjin, does the seat feel okay? - Try lying down.

Does your back hurt?

[Even the driver takes a photo] It's fine.

All good.

The driver found it funny and took a photo.

[Having fun with every moment truly a traveler and a comedian]

- The driver is laughing a lot too. - My stomach hurts.

You have to put the seat back upright.

[It's our staff's car, so it's okay, right?] It's no big deal.

[While Jae Seok steps out to fix the seat issue]

[The group starts discussing renting the car for the day again]

Should we rent it for the whole day? What do you think?

We actually have quite a few places to visit.

[Distances too far to walk like yesterday] We'll need to go to town

- and also take the cable car. - True. Let's ask them to wait.

Let's ask them to wait.

[Quick decisions] That sounds right.

Then I'll try negotiating a bit more for 1 Day.

1 Day…

Don't negotiate, just take it!

[Teacher Yu]

[The older brothers are arguing again] Just take it.

At first… Hey.

[Teacher summoned] They're about

- to fight. - Wait a second.

[Assessing the situation] Why are you fighting now?

He said just settle it for 100,000 won

but "Negotiate more." "Just take it!" That's all it was.

[A repeated pattern they know all too well] "Just take it!"

[But the D/C man's negotiations always go]

[Before the actual negotiations he spends ages asking soft questions]

[Looks like he's negotiating from behind]

[Preparing himself with questions]

D…

[Nervous]

1 Day D… Discount?

[No discount] 2 million, 1 Day.

[Seokjin's D/C attempt fails]

[Plans that weren't really plans but still failed to materialize]

All four of us just standing here…

[Waiting for the driver's "friend's car" near the production team's car]

We should've booked something in advance.

But we didn't know who.

Hi.

[A mysterious woman appears out of nowhere] Are you planning to take this?

Chestnuts? Chestnuts?

- Oh? Just now… Hey. - Let's eat!

Just freshly roasted, warm chestnuts!

[Magnetized by the chestnut vendor] These look delicious.

[Hot and fresh]

These look tasty. How much?

[Chestnuts: 1kg for 100,000 dong (5,000 won)] 100,000 dong, she says.

[The treasurer agrees] 5,000 won?

- Okay, one kilo then. - Sure, one kilo.

But hey…

[Why are we suddenly buying chestnuts?] Is she part of the plan?

[What's this natural flow?] No, she's not.

How did she

[What are we even doing at a transfer station] even end up coming all the way

[we're just passing through?] here like this?

[Suspicious] Did someone call her?

[Truly a serendipitous meeting with yellow chestnuts and a kind vendor]

How did she…

She's so generous.

[Thinking about others] Oh! Let's share with everyone.

These chestnuts look really good.

Hot, hot… Try holding them(?)

[Successfully enjoyed a hot chestnuts] Oh, oh, oh, so hot!

[100,000 dong, 3 thank-yous 1 thumbs-up delivered]

[Bonus bag for shells] To hold the shells.

She's so detailed.

You can't eat them yet. They're too hot.

[Nods in agreement] Have a good day.

[Maybe we're her first customers today?] These were just roasted.

[Chestnuts rolling around] How did you know we were here?

[Laughter]

[Gathering chestnuts like a squirrel] Was she part of the plan?

[Swear to God] Was she part of the plan?

[We really thought we'd be in Sapa by now] She showed up so naturally.

If you leave it like this

[Just as cool leaving as she was arriving] how can…

Bye-bye.

Have a good day!

Wait, isn't that a parasol?

[Worried] Isn't it going to blow away?

Hmm.

[Shelling chestnuts]

Wow, these chestnuts are such a nice yellow.

[Yellow chestnut]

They're so good!

- They're so good, really. - Right. They're just amazing.

[Level of affection for chestnuts 10]

It's here!

[Finally, the car to take us to Sapa has arrived]

[Just in case… Confirming the full-day rental concept]

[No discount this time] 1 Day, 2 million dong.

[Okay! Price negotiations dropped]

Go to the hotel.

Wait.

[Just to be safe… Confirming mutual understanding of "1 Day"]

Go to lunch!

Then okay… Together!

Lunch again?

[Of all words, "lunch" catches his ear]

[English overload strikes at the worst time]

Lunch again.

[Eating again? A misunderstanding leads to a problem]

I don't match well with him…

I like him, but…

[I want to ask until what time, but] Until… Until what time…

[Frustrated, driver swaps out for someone else]

- Hello Hello! - Hello!

[The new driver is easier to communicate with]

[Plan: Use this car to Sapa then another car for 1 Day rental]

[Visibly relaxed and relieved]

Bye-bye.

- See you in Sapa. - Yeah! I'll call you back!

Let's go, let's go.

[Finally heading to Sapa!] Let's go. Get in, production crew.

It's tough.

- Good job this morning. - You did great.

Applause!

It was hard… And honestly…

The lack of a discount is funny.

So, how much did you save us?

[Hesitating]

He didn't save anything. We're just paying the original price.

[The harsh truth of 1 Day at the initial price]

We're just going as is?

[Fake Life] No.

For him

it's not about the results. It's about enjoying the process.

[Protect the negotiator!] That's where the fun is.

[Meanwhile, he is a chestnut squirrel] Look at him

[Peeling and sharing chestnuts diligently] peeling chestnuts like a squirrel.

Thanks for this…

He's starving now.

[Crunch / munch]

[Crunch munch continued]

[Sharing sweet, delicious chestnuts in between]

[Sweet yellow chestnut delight]

Hey.

This trip is really… The days feel so long.

We've done so much, but it's only 8 a.m.

[Shocked that it's still morning]

Time just isn't moving!

Why is it going so slow? It's 8:10 now.

Usually, time flies on trips.

But time's crawling.

We just started too early.

[Looking forward to a long day ahead as they head to Sapa]

Wow, look at how high we're going!

My ears keep popping.

[Pop quiz]

[If you're a traveler here what seems off about this scenery?]

Look outside.

[Even the car feels dim] Wow, I can't see anything.

Is it fog?

[Even a bit of fog doesn't hide Sapa's usual beauty]

[Today! Same road, different view]

If the weather were better it would be so amazing.

Yeah, Right.

It's all about luck with the view.

Wow, it's starting to rain?

Mountain weather, you know…

[Will this fog clear to reveal Sapa's view?]

We might need to buy raincoats.

[Next Episode]

I can't see anything. It's ruined.

This trip is doomed. Oh no.

[Sapa hidden in the mist] I didn't expect visibility to be this bad.

[Unwelcoming weather] How can this happen?

[Relentless endurance through it all] I'm so tired.

- Let's take the cart. - Let's just ride the cart.

Just go! Walk slowly.

[Still unable to agree] It's not far.

Take this ride.

Look over here.

[Despite everything, the trip continues]

This is just amazing.

[Waiting for small joys along the way] Even these little things are beautiful.

The koi fish are seriously this big.

I'm loving this.

[Quick mood recovery]

[Using a translator app for the next destination] Let me use the translator.

Just say "cafe."

[High spirits but still not agreeing]

Wow. Look at the view!

[Mesmerized by the exotic scenery] This place is breathtaking.

[Of course, a jumping shot is a must] One, two, three.

[The mood warms up again] Cafe, okay.

Beautiful cafe, please.

You guys were just arguing so much earlier…

Our emotions are all over the place today.

Back and forth, up and down.

Don't you feel your mood suddenly lift?

[What emotions will mark the end of this trip?]
