[About 3 months ago]

What if we did Punghyangjung as a road trip around Korea?

[Intrigued] Oh, Punghyangjung could work.

[Punghyangjung was born during the wrap-up] It'd just be us for two days and one night.

We take a car and go without any apps.

Just a map!

[MAP Sung Min / Professor of Maps] A road atlas!

[And then they kept adding rules themselves...] All we need is one book.

National roads only! No expressways.

[Punghyangjung Rule] No expressways.

[NO GPS / apps / expressways, ONLY national roads] National roads only.

[Ideas overflowing / 36 years in showbiz] Or we could really...

[Destination to be chosen by roulette on the day] do it old-school and spin a wheel.

Whatever it lands on, we leave. Immediately.

[The four brothers reunite] [Today, they're here to spin that wheel]

Here we go again...

[8:40 a.m. Jae Seok arrives with a suitcase]

So the day has finally come, huh?

[Packed without knowing the destination] We don't even know where we're going

[Worried] and we're taking national roads. Will this work?

They made us merch again.

[Every trip starts with matching shirts] A trip starts with matching tees.

Funny enough, we've had shoots two weeks in a row.

[As of filming] Last week was "Ramyeon Hangout."

[2026 Summer Road Series, Part 2] And today, Punghyangjung finally begins.

And of course, our Minister of Education...

[In Netflix's Teach You a Lesson] Sung Min went from chairman

[Wasp Lee returns as the Minister of Education] to Minister of Education.

So we had to work around Mr. Minister's shooting schedule.

Actually, when he gets here there's something I need to mention.

The group fund, too...

Oh my!

[This is not a freeze-frame]

I forgot my wallet.

[Packed all this luggage but no wallet]

Hold on.

I need to call home!

Gosh, I need to ask Chan Se my manager, a favor.

I'm so sorry. I really thought I packed everything...

And I forgot the one thing that matters.

I can't go without my wallet!

[Calling his manager in a panic] Chan Se, sorry, but...

I think I left my wallet at home.

Yeah, yeah. I'll call Kyung Eun and let her know.

I'm really sorry.

My wallet... Oh, come on!

[Deep, soul-crushing sigh] You idiot.

[Apologizing yet again] Sorry.

Hey, Kyung Eun. I left my wallet at home.

[Rapid-fire explanation] I'm filming now, so Chan Se is coming by.

Can you give him my wallet? Sorry.

[And Se Chan appears the second he hangs up] I did something unbelievably stupid.

Hey! What happened? What?

[Immediately unloading on him] I did something so stupid. So stupid.

[He knows instantly] What'd you leave behind?

I brought all that luggage and forgot my wallet.

That is genuinely stupid hyung.

[Punghyangjung has no mercy] Your wallet, of all things...

[The youngest goes straight for the throat] Your face is literally saying, "What an idiot."

- What's with that suitcase? - It's two days, one night!

Did you pack, like, 20 pairs of underwear?

[Stunned] What is this?

[Packs like he's moving house] I didn't know what we'd be wearing.

[All that luggage. Still no wallet...] You packed all that and forgot your wallet?

And there's one more thing. I'm only telling you this.

I need to stop by a bank on the way.

[Why the bank now?] Why?

[Important: tax payment issue] I have taxes to pay.

And I haven't had a single free day. I've been filming nonstop.

[Filmed in the last week of June] I haven't made it to the bank.

[June: comprehensive income tax payment month]

Wait. If you need to go to a bank...

Once the hyungs hear about it

- they'll make a huge fuss. - One of them probably needs to go too.

Could be.

But don't tell them yet. We'll bring it up in the car.

[They can already hear the nagging]

- They'll complain, then go too. - Exactly.

So why listen to all that first?

Actually, while we're there I should pull out some cash too.

[Before the hyungs arrive] Just in case. Since we're going anyway.

[The younger two finish scheming] Exactly. Since we're going anyway.

Where do you think we're going today? I'm dying to know.

But at least last night, hyung

I got a pretty good night's sleep.

- Same. I slept well. - I slept amazingly well!

I think it's because we're traveling domestically this time.

I could actually sleep...

[Carefully] Without stressing.

Yeah, I slept easy too.

[I'm here] Hyung!

[Wasp Lee makes his entrance] Mr. Minister!

- The minister's here. Please, have a seat. - Mr. Minister, sit here.

[Proud] Teach You a Lesson.

What, you moved offices?

[The minister's first visit to the new office] We did.

Hyung, we moved.

Wow... look at you. Rich now?

Rich, my ass.

Didn't you say no suitcases?

Why?

We're starting already?

He obviously brought one.

[Why?] I did. Just in case.

You really should follow the rules.

[There was never a luggage rule] We never said that.

[Did we not?] Nope.

[Anyway] What's this "Four Comedians" thing?

[Changing the subject with the merch cap] We're comedians.

[The slogan is funny all by itself] I mean...

The hat's actually nice!

[A hat packed with memories of Punghyanggo 2] Yeah, it came out really well.

I didn't know what this was so I almost wore my Punghyanggo hat.

Apparently it's merch!

Merch for what? "Four... Comedians"?

You're the one who said it.

[Punghyanggo 2, EP. 1 — last winter wandering Vienna for their lodging]

- Microphone. - Recording.

We... we are... South Korea...

Uh... TV show comedian!

Hyung, you introduced yourself as a comedian too?

Yeah.

So "Four Comedians" is right.

- Been a while. - Hey, hyung.

[The comedian maknae and Punghyanggo maknae, reunited]

[By the way, I watched Teach You a Lesson] Hyung, I watched Teach You a Lesson.

[Even nicer seeing our hyung on screen] I was like, "Hey, that's our guy."

[As of filming] I heard it's No. 1 globally?

You've never been No. 1 worldwide before, have you?

Oh, this guy...

[Getting cocky] All right, Europe next! Let's go!

[Confidence of a global No. 1 star] Now that you've gone global...

[Time to teach Europe who he is] Mr. Minister put us at No. 1 worldwide.

[Immediately embarrassed by his own bragging]

Europe was kind of our weak spot.

[A few painful memories flash by...] Very weak.

Hardly anyone recognized us.

Made filming easy, though.

But now you're a global star...

[Already excited for the next Punghyanggo] So if we go again...

Exactly.

Oh, and speaking of today

breakfast is Subway again.

[Pinggyego Awards] They join us at year-end too

and a few times throughout the year.

We're really grateful.

[Thank you, Subway] They've been a huge help with Punghyangjung today.

- Thank you again. - We'll head off well-fed.

And Subway is actually really good.

You ordered ahead, right?

[Same order for everyone] You all asked us for the same thing.

[Seeing the crew again after a while] You got a perm?

[Sung Min's sweet-dad mode, copy-paste]

She's about my oldest daughter's age.

Subway really is

an easy way to eat something light and healthy.

[Everyone takes a huge bite] I was starving.

- Mmm. - I skipped breakfast on purpose.

[Roast chicken avocado A bite as big as the hunger]

Getting enough protein really matters.

Even more as you get older.

[An easy protein boost] This is perfect. One of these does the job.

The veggies are so fresh!

This is good.

But here's the problem.

We still have no idea where we're going.

What if we get somewhere really far?

National roads could take nine hours.

Where would take nine hours? Come on.

Somewhere like Haenam, if we land on it.

Hyung, national roads mean

National roads mean no expressways, right?

[Obstacle 1: traffic lights] We'll hit light after light.

[Obstacle 2: usually 50~80 km/h limits] Plus speed cameras.

[Expressways are usually 80~110 km/h] And lower speed limits.

They're all early today.

Everyone's early.

[10 minutes before call time] Look who's here.

[8:50 a.m. Jee Seok Jin arrives] "Teach You a Lesson."

[Our very soft eldest hyung] Give him some "Teach You a Lesson" too.

[A spicy hello] Hyung, I think you gained weight.

I did.

He needs some "Teach You a Lesson" right now.

[The younger guys pounce immediately] This can't go on.

Wasn't call time nine?

[Offended because he's not late] What time is it now?

8:40.

Come on, what are you all talking about?

- We said we'd roll at nine. - What are you talking about?

People are going to get the wrong idea...

[The third-oldest smells blood] No, they know exactly what you're like.

At least you're not 50 minutes late.

What time did you get here?

[Proud] 8:40. On the dot.

I got here at 8:45.

[Method acting] We're done now. We have to leave.

[Completely thrown] Are they serious or messing with me?

Yes.

Look how much we've already eaten.

[Even Sung Min, the one he trusted...]

Sorry. I didn't mean to make it look like that...

[Still getting scolded mid-apology] Yeah, hyung. Don't be late for a trip.

Shouldn't you be giving them the "Teach You a Lesson"?

[This is why teasing Seoksam is so fun] Teach them a lesson.

But...

you don't look so good.

[Another jab lands. He's delighted again]

My wife said the same thing this morning.

Jee Seok Jin's wife) Why is your face so puffy?

[What on earth did he eat?] Hyung, what did you have for dinner last night?

Bread!

What time did you eat it?

Must've been pretty late.

Around nine?

Hyung, why would you eat that late?

- Is it that puffy? - Yeah. Very.

[Mr. Minister beats him down with facts]

It looks like your eyes barely open.

Wow, Mr. Minister is pure T now.

Every line is "Teach You a Lesson" now.

[Casually lands another hit] It'll go down in a little while.

[Where did soft-hearted Wasp Lee go?] You've really changed.

You used to come at things with a lot more feeling.

"You look fine."

Now you just say exactly what you think.

Sung Min, that hurts. We were...

[We were such good roommates in Austria...] in Austria together.

Roommates?

Sleeping in the same room...

[The facts keep coming] And you're puffier now than you were then.

We had so many warm, heartfelt talks.

[Laughter]

[Puffy Seok Jin] I said I was dieting

[Since we're on the subject, confession time] so I'd work out

then order these ahead.

Three footlongs!

Three footlongs.

One footlong?

I said three!

Well, there's your weight gain.

[Dizzy]

[Punch first, hug later] Hyung, low-calorie or not, if you eat that much...

Sung Min, you're right.

No, that's the truth.

I ate like that and gained weight.

Of course you did.

[Elephants eat plants too] If you eat that much

[At least it's healthy weight?] even low-calorie food...

It will make you gain.

At least I gained it the healthy way.

I get a six-inch.

I get a footlong.

[Had a hearty bowl of seaweed soup for breakfast] My wife made seaweed soup this morning too.

Oh? Is it your birthday?

No.

It's because he's sleeping away from home tonight!

[Oh?]

So today is somewhat a birthday.

Oh, so it's my wife's birthday today?

Her second birthday of the year.

Because you're sleeping out tonight.

Looks like your wallet's here.

Oh! My wallet's here!

See? You don't officially arrive until your wallet arrives.

Which means you're the last one here!

[The soft eldest strikes back / speechless] Your wallet's arrival is your arrival.

We can't leave without it, can we?

[He sees his opening and pounces] Am I wrong?

Wow, look at him trying to wriggle out of this.

Wow, hyung. That's like...

It's like showing up at the airport without your passport.

[Last place isn't me. It's you] Counting the wallet

[Suddenly holding all the cards] as a complete arrival is a bit...

[He loses it / This old back-and-forth is back] We're a team.

[His wallet is on his team now?] It's part of the team.

- Me and this? - Of course.

[Sung Min, hear me out] Without it, we can't leave, right?

[Sung Min, listen to me] I packed all this stuff

but I forgot this.

[Bickering across Sung Min] The most important thing.

[No-look shot] So you were last!

[No-look shot] Good thing I live nearby.

But why did you bring a suitcase?

We could end up at the beach!

- Oh, we might go in the water. - Exactly.

- Then you need clothes. - You're no P. No way you're a P.

Just buy some at a market.

Buy them where?

Wherever we go you think the local market won't sell clothes?

[He really doesn't get it] Oh, come on.

- Right? - Right.

[Eldest-hyung solidarity] Roommates stick together.

- Jae Seok, we should team up too! - Yeah, yeah.

[Thrilled to finally agree on something]

Why? Are you buying designer clothes?

Did you bring clothes or not?

I brought this shirt they gave us.

[Only brought the white and gray team tees] Same.

Me too.

And one pair of shorts.

[One pair of pants] These shorts. That's it for me.

One of these, one of those.

- And one white shirt. Done. - Seriously? You should've brought pants.

[Don't worry] Buy a pair.

You think we'll just sit in the room all day?

They said we don't know where we're going.

Exactly. We could even end up on an island.

An island?

[Are we driving across the ocean now?] Hyung...

They haven't shown us yet...

[The roulette wheel is covered] But what's that?

We spin the wheel and go wherever it lands.

An island?

[If there's actually an island on there...] There could be.

Anyway, we have to leave today

and the whole national-road thing...

I honestly can't remember the last time

[Hasn't gone anywhere without GPS in ages] I drove anywhere without navigation.

But they're giving us a map, right?

[A map will be provided] Of course.

We agreed we'd get a map.

And you guys are from the map generation, right?

- You know how to read one. - We're definitely the map generation.

[Punghyanggo already proved MAP Sung Min's powers]

If we've got a map, we're fine.

[Presbyopia issue] Sung Min did say last time

[He asked for a bigger map] he wanted it blown up.

[So this time, we bought an atlas with scales] Now that's a proper road atlas.

[Different scales = manual zoom in/out] This is it?

This looks like what realtors hang on the wall.

Hyung, here.

[Delighted]

Remember? Back in the day you'd get one of these when you bought a car.

[Eyes glued to the map] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- That's right. - Before GPS, they gave you these.

[One hates it / one loves it] What even is this?

[Polar-opposite reactions to the atlas] How do you read this?

- A classic! A classic map. - People who know maps actually use these.

Hyung, back then...

someone in the passenger seat would unfold this while you drove?

- No way. - Not this part. This.

This is it.

[Now this is the old-school road-map vibe] This is what we used.

[Listening with his ears, mapping with his eyes] My wife would sit beside me, map open

and go, "Here, then here. Turn here." That's how we did it.

And even people who were good with maps would get close to the destination

[Then ask a realtor or someone on the street] and ask a realtor or a passerby.

Oh wow.

You like it?

I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at.

[Eyes sparkling] This page is only Seocho-gu.

Seocho-gu?

[Seocho-gu] See? Like this.

Wow. That's actually incredible.

Wow...

Say we end up going down toward Jeollanam-do.

[Hypothetically] Just as an example.

- That's four or five hours by expressway. - Exactly.

And on national roads...

I'm telling you, that's nine hours.

It could take more than nine hours.

[Disaster scenario: trip ends when they arrive] We'd arrive and be done.

We'd spend the whole trip in the car.

[The road-movie ending nobody wants] It'd basically be a road movie.

Then we need to pick the destination and get moving now.

We don't have time.

[No time] Even if we leave at 9:30...

[Somehow they're already racing the clock again] Why are we always out of time?

So this tells us the region?

From what I understand

[Asked viewers for Punghyangjung destinations] when we announced Punghyangjung

[Gyewon! Where should Punghyangjung go?] the crew asked for suggestions.

[Pinggyego EP. 104] They asked where people wanted us to visit

[Leave your recommendations, Korea only] and then...

you picked from those submissions and put them on here, right?

[Bonghwa, Yeongju, Suncheon, Buyeo] We asked Gyewon

[Gyeongju, Andong, Gurye, Samcheok] for recommended destinations

[Only the Top 50 made the cut] then gathered the Top 50.

Top 50.

So there are 50 places on this wheel?

Yes. With tied rankings there are 52 destinations total.

Wow, out of 50 places...

Tied... tied where?

[Confused] Same... same ranking.

Oh! You scared me.

I thought "tied" was the name of some town we had to go to.

[Confusion meets confusion] That scared me.

All right, then...

And now, this is the nerve-racking part.

[Time to spin, spin, spin for the destination] We'll pick the place right now

and head straight out on Punghyangjung.

[Wheel reveal]

Where even is that?

All 50 are on here?

[Scanning the wheel] Hyung, there's Jeonnam and Gyeongbuk...

Goheung.

What's the closest place on here?

[Closest] Light green is the closest.

[Farther] The redder it gets, the farther away.

- Buyeo, Danyang. - Chungnam, Chungbuk.

[The two shortest trips] Buyeo in Chungnam, Danyang in Chungbuk.

Danyang's gorgeous. Seriously.

[Mid-range] Iksan, Gunsan in Jeonbuk!

Oh! Gunsan's famous for jjamppong!

Gunsan's doable. It's not that far.

[5 hours 30 minutes] Cheongsong...

They even put the travel times on here!

[From the office] That's how long it takes using national roads.

[8 hours 20 or 30 minutes] Eight hours?

[8 hours of driving would be a disaster] Eight hours?

Wow, this is...

You can't do that in two days and one night.

If we hit one of those red ones, we're dead.

Red would be brutal.

I went to Gimhae recently

and even by expressway it took four hours.

[The tension is real] If it lands there, we go!

Yellow is around six hours...

[Light-green ZONE] So this is where we want it to land.

[Still processing the horror] The red ones take over eight hours.

I think we're fine as long as we dodge red.

[NO sightseeing, ONLY driving] If we land on red

[Red means Punghyang Road and nothing else] that's going to be rough for us.

When they were miking us up I told the guys I hoped we'd get Yeosu.

[Turns out that would've been a terrible idea] Yeah... maybe not.

Yeosu is beautiful, though.

It'd be great if we got there.

[Only if it doesn't take eight hours] Great.

If we literally leave right now

we'll get there just in time for the Yeosu night sea.

["Yeosu Night Sea, beneath these lights..."] That's exactly what we'd see, the Yeosu night sea.

At this rate, it'll be the dawn sea!

No!

There's plenty

to see along the way.

- Exactly. - Of course.

[Hold on... just one little test spin...] But if we spin it and it lands...

[Test result: Yecheon] Yecheon.

[Test result: Buyeo] No, Buyeo.

Hyung.

Great. Now we'll never get that one again.

[Murphy's law] Why?

[Good spots never come back after a test spin] Because we already used up that outcome!

All right, then...

A test spin?

[No more practice, straight to the real thing] We're starting for real now.

- One shot only? - One shot only!

[The wheel of fate] So who's spinning it?

This matters.

Mr. Minister?

Would you like to do the honors?

Oh, no. You do it.

Then let's...

[Another self-imposed rule] Spin it without looking.

[A cover to prevent any funny business] That way nobody can rig it.

[Fairer if he can't see the starting point] Then it's completely fair.

[Variety-show instincts kick in] But isn't it more suspenseful if we watch it spin?

I want the click-click-click-click!

Just touch it, spin, then pull your hand away.

[Fair and entertaining, perfect] That works. Let's do that.

[Changing the starting point] Mr. Minister, give it a random spin first.

I'll scramble the starting position...

[Jae Seok looks away while it gets a hard spin] You touch it and let go.

I'll spin it.

And wherever it lands, we're going? That's it?

Then we leave?

[Instant dopamine hit] That's it. We go.

We're really going.

- We leave immediately. - Hyung, this is a huge scene!

I'm nervous.

[One shared fate] It's not just us. The whole crew is stuck with it.

All right. South Korea!

We're revealing where Punghyangjung is headed right now!

Two days, one night!

I'm doing it?

[Now that it's real, he's nervous] You do it, hyung.

- Seoksam, do you want to do it? - No, you do it.

You've got it. Just do it.

- Hyung, you want to? - No! You do it!

One! Two!

Spin, then lift your hand off.

One, two, three!

[The wheel of fate turns...] There it goes.

[Everyone watches, tense] Please, please...

Aah!

Iksan.

Iksan, Jeonbuk!

[IKSAN via national roads GO]

[Iksan]

[A city where the spirit of Baekje still lives]

[Home to the Mireuksaji Stone Pagoda one of oldest and largest surviving stone pagodas]

[With the broad Geum River]

[and the fertile Honam plains]

[From generations of granite quarrying the hands of master stoneworkers]

[helped shape Iksan into a city that glitters with fine jewelry]

[At Jeolla-do's northwestern edge a major gateway and transport hub into Honam]

[NO GPS, ONLY national roads Can they make it there safely?]

- Iksan, Jeonbuk. - That's not bad.

Four hours, twenty minutes.

[Relatively close] Honestly, we got lucky.

I've wanted to go there.

Iksan's just before Jeonju, isn't it?

[MAP Sung Min opens the atlas immediately] Okay, so today...

[Still buzzing from the wheel] Wow, I actually got chills.

This is good.

Hyung! We almost got Wando.

[Five slots from a red-zone long haul] Wando? That was on there too?

But Iksan by national road...

Look at our captain already.

Our expedition leader!

[Current location] Iksan's right here.

- That's Iksan. - I really want to see this area.

[Our destination / reading glasses acquired] I really do.

There. Iksan.

- Where? Right there? - Yeah. We're good.

This isn't bad at all.

And Gunsan's right next door.

[Gunsan] Nice.

[Already planning a detour] We could do Iksan, then swing by Gunsan.

Sure, why not?

We have to get Gunsan jjamppong.

- Jeonju's close too! Gunsan too! - They're all right there.

We got a good one.

- Daejeon's close too. - Nice, nice.

[Sudden realization] Everything looks close on a map.

[Collective realization] You're right.

[Still staring at the map] What doesn't look close on a map?

- Everything's close on a map! - Oh, right.

Wow... so then...

- The tricky part is... - Which national road do we stay on?

[Sharing what he's figured out so far] This is the tricky part.

The West Coast Expressway would get us there fast.

[West Coast Expressway: about 2 hr 40 min] Yeah, really fast.

Hyung! Here! We need to follow the yellow roads.

[National road] This one. This is a national road.

I'm going to be completely honest...

I have no idea how we get there.

[Everyone panics at MAP Captain's weakness] Hold on. Give me the map.

Weren't you the confident one?

[National roads only! No expressways] [Where did all that confidence go?]

If you're lost, we're genuinely doomed.

[Directionally challenged eldest] You're the only person we trust.

[Flustered] No, seriously, how do we get there?

Hyung.

[Frantically checking the atlas] If we head toward Jeolla-do

won't we hit Iksan eventually?

[Yes, Iksan is in Jeonbuk...] Well, yes. If we go toward Jeonbuk.

Just head toward Jeolla-do.

[Speechless] Iksan is in Jeolla-do.

[Building the route] But we're in Gangnam.

From Gangnam...

[Current location]

[The youngest reads the yellow roads aloud] We pass Gwangju, hyung

then Suwon

[Gangnam → Gwangju → Suwon → Osan → Pyeongtaek] Osan, then Pyeongtaek.

That's the road we take?

- But hyung... - The way I see it

that route could be fun. We hit Pyeongtaek

maybe stop near the U.S. base...

- The U.S. base? - Yeah.

Not go inside!

There are tons of restaurants nearby steaks and stuff.

[Eyes still locked on the map] Hyung, if we do that

- we'll arrive tomorrow. - We won't make it today.

But it's on the way!

We have to eat lunch somewhere.

If we could just use GPS, it'd tell us instantly.

[But this is NO apps, NO GPS] With GPS, I'd say

it'd be under three hours.

[Correct answer: about 2 hr 43 min] Yeah, around three hours.

[Seoul → Suwon → Osan → Pyeongtaek] To get there

[Continuing SsaebSsaeb's route] I think we should go through Cheonan.

From Cheonan to Gongju

then Nonsan, then Iksan.

But how do we get to Cheonan from here?

To get to Cheonan, go through Pyeongtaek.

Then how do we get to Pyeongtaek?

Go south from Suwon.

Then how do we get to Suwon?

[The mindless questions finally break the hyungs] Hey. Get over here.

- Are you trying to start a fight? - Are you kidding me?

[You two fight. I'll find the route...] What are you even...

You have no intention of using only national roads, do you?

I think we need to get somewhere nearby and reassess.

[Ultimate P behavior] Should we go to Suwon? I went to college there.

[Start on National Route 3] You know that familiar road toward Seongnam?

[Suggestion: head toward Seongnam first] Want to take that?

Or shouldn't we go the other way?

Through Gwacheon!

[There we go] From Sadang through Gwacheon...

[That's it] Right, then down toward Suwon.

[Gwacheon is a straighter route than Seongnam] Suwon, Osan, Pyeongtaek, Cheonan.

There. Done.

Sadang, then Gwacheon.

I know the roads around Seoul like the back of my hand.

[I'll get us there without GPS] So don't worry until we clear this part.

You can get to Sadang and Gwacheon without navigation?

[Checking the map] He's terrible with GPS anyway.

[Checking the map] I've lived in Seoul a long time.

- I know most of the roads. - I've lived here a long time too...

[Eyes never leave the map] Longer than me, you think?

And we can't use GPS

or any phone apps, right?

So this time, we made you keychains with a compass and thermometer!

A compass? In this day and age?

[In the age of AI it may feel a little... unexpected]

[A trendy keychain to turn them into explorers] You expect us to navigate by compass?

- This is unbelievable. - And why the thermometer?

- You think we're going to roast? - In case you get curious.

You kept wondering about the temperature in Austria.

[After opening the weather app by mistake] Oh, the temperature?

Were we that obsessed with the temperature in Austria?

Did we keep asking how many degrees it was?

Oh, and first, the group fund.

[Now that Iksan is locked in] Let's collect it.

[Time to set the group budget] First, hyung.

On a domestic trip like this

we have to spend generously for the local economy.

Should we put in 500,000 won each?

[Starting with 300,000 won each] Let's start with 300,000.

We need gas.

We need lodging.

[Current time: 9:30 a.m] Then we really need to get moving.

[Will 300,000 be enough?] One big Korean-beef meal could wipe out a lot.

[They'll collect more if needed] Then we'll add more later.

[Packing up the beloved atlas] Let's make sure we get some Korean beef.

I need to withdraw cash, though.

[Perfect!] Oh!

[I need to go too.] Then should we stop at a bank?

- First, with whatever cash... - Fine, we'll stop at a bank because of you.

[One knows the real reason / one has no clue] Let me empty my pockets first.

[No, hyung, we need the bank] Then since you need to... 300,000 is not enough.

[Trying to avoid the bank] I'll give part of it now!

[Time to admit part of the truth] I need a bank anyway

[The tax part is still secret] so let's stop at one.

You need one too, right?

[Counting the cash he has] I mean, I don't have to go.

Let's go. Banks are fun.

[The hyungs walk straight into the scheme] Fine, fine. Let's go.

Do you need a specific bank?

No.

Woori Bank?

[Like the Punghyanggo 2 airport episode] Woori... KB...

[Are they touring preferred banks again?] Shinhan...

[Delighted at the idea of a bank tour] Let's just pick one with easy parking.

We just need cash.

Oh!

We're not taking expressways so no service-area ATMs.

[Remember: NO GPS] There are rest stops on national roads

but finding one won't be easy.

[So NO apps starting now?] From this point on, we can't use them, right?

- I can't even check my stocks? - No stocks.

[Retail investor Se Chan] Let me check my stocks!

Today's kind of an important day...

Then just one last look.

[Final app check before the trip begins] One last time, right now.

- Stocks? - Yeah.

Why is today important for stocks?

Because it's Friday...

Oh... I'm down again. Forget it.

[Checked for nothing but a worse mood] That's so annoying.

All right, then.

Our first Punghyangjung trip.

[NO GPS, NO apps] We're heading to Iksan, Jeonbuk

by national road. A beautiful place.

[Punghyangjung] Let's go!

[Now the national-road worry hits] I really don't know if we can pull this off.

We'll get there. It's just...

- We're probably going to stop a lot. - A lot.

[Have a good trip!]

[Now they're really heading to the car!]

Let's do this!

First, we need to get in the car.

[A larger van for the crew riding along] At least it's a big one.

How many people are riding? Everyone?

But are they okay in the back?

How are they supposed to ride back there?

We're really not cramped.

You're going to get carsick.

[Worried about the back row] I'm telling you, you'll get carsick.

Seriously.

Wow. You sure you're okay?

We checked before you got in.

[The spacing's already been adjusted] We made plenty of room.

The bathroom situation should be fun today.

[Who knows when the next rest stop is...] With this many people...

[If you see a bathroom, you use it] Shouldn't everyone go now?

[This could happen later] You should go, hyung.

[Emptying one worry before they go...]

- All right, Iksan! - We're really going?

[9:40 a.m. Departure!] Let's go!

[Let's-go-bari, go-go-bari] We're off!

[I have one tiny errand...] Seriously, how many people

are in this van right now?

[Come with us... almost full, 8/9 seats] They're packed all the way into the back.

If we're this full

we'd be golden on the expressway we could use the bus lane!

[Expressway bus-only lane] That's maximum efficiency.

[Buses or vehicles with 9+ seats] If we're filling a big van...

[with at least 6 people aboard] Seriously.

[can use the reserved lane] We'd actually qualify for the bus lane.

[Does not apply on national roads] We could cruise straight through.

- Ah, hyung. - That would've been perfect.

[Another errand: gas] We need fuel too.

[Waiting until outside the city for cheaper gas] Gas is cheaper out on the national roads.

It usually is.

Wow, the weather's great again.

[The weather fairy returns] It's beautiful today.

[Unlike yesterday, the sky is crystal clear] No fine dust today.

Weather makes the trip. It really does.

Know what worries me most about Punghyangjung?

- What? - That the whole episode will just be car footage.

That feels very possible.

[Current share of runtime: the car] Because the drive itself

is listed as four hours and twenty minutes.

[P-brothers love a detour] We'll take longer.

[Definitely longer than the roulette estimate] We'll stop somewhere

[Much, much longer] then somebody will want food.

[First of all] We have three banks to hit.

Why three? We only need one!

Everyone has their own bank.

One bank is enough!

[Immediate pushback from the hyungs] Just pay the ATM fee somewhere else.

Then, hyung

[The driver picks a bank he knows] I'll take us to Shinhan.

[And there's one more thing...] And while we're there, hyungs

after we use the ATM

I need to pay my taxes.

Oh, come on!

Why are you paying taxes now?

You still haven't paid them?

[Leading with "because" to soften the hyungs] Because the deadline is June 30.

And I've been filming nonstop so I haven't made it to a bank.

- Do that later... - I did mine yesterday.

You paid yesterday?

[Volume up] Do it later!

There is no "later"!

[Not pleased] If I don't do it today, I'm out of time.

Taxes!

You have to pay them on time.

[The responsible taxpayer leaves no opening] You do, but...

[Convinced] You really don't have time?

- I don't. - Oh, so that's why...

That's why you kept saying "bank, bank."

I went first thing yesterday

[Reading glasses on] Yeah.

I had commentary recording in the afternoon

so I got up early and went to the bank.

I leave early and don't get home until late at night.

All right!

[With familiar bickering as background radio MAP Sung Min calmly starts scouting the route]

[Youngest plays mediator] We do need cash anyway.

Hold on. If we go here we'll have to use that public parking lot.

[Conflict detected] Hey, can't we just

find a bank with its own parking lot?

We have to save every won we can.

Hyung, I'll give you that.

Look at him. He's already got the atlas out.

[Wasp spirit unleashed even inside the van the hyungs do things their own way]

Mr. Map.

Jae Seok.

[Entering a public lot near the bank] We can just park here, hyung.

There's a public lot right here.

This is perfectly good.

[Public parking lot = good] Nice and wide. Easy parking.

Fine, this works too.

- We can park here. - Exactly.

Then park here. How far are you going?

I'm backing into the spot!

Oh, you're backing in?

- I'm already getting annoyed. - Hyung, breathe. Be patient.

You have to trust the driver. Otherwise this trip will be miserable.

No, I'm already kind of...

- Upset? - Yes! A little!

I'm trying to park and he's already criticizing me.

If you just pull straight in you save three whole minutes.

Want me to find us another spot too?

[Out of the car after 10 minutes] I paid mine yesterday too.

[They head off together to withdraw cash] What did you pay?

- Taxes. - You paid yesterday too?

Wow, that is a beautiful parking job.

We really need to hurry, though.

[Current time: 9:50 a.m. They still have a very long way to go]

It's almost ten already.

The fact that we're stopping to pay taxes...

[The more they think about it the funnier it gets] Who pays taxes in the middle of a shoot?

- It is pretty funny. - His schedule's that packed.

Has TV ever shown Yu Jae Seok going to pay his taxes?

[A Punghyangjung exclusive!] This might be a first.

[Live footage: Yu Jae Seok pays his taxes] What did you say?

It's funny that we're actually filming you going to pay your taxes.

Paying taxes is very important!

[One important message, then back to rushing] It is. It's just funny we're documenting it.

Look how fast he's walking. That's how badly he wants to pay them.

Paying taxes is our civic duty!

[A little later... A FEW MOMENTS LATER...]

[Sung Min and Se Chan finish withdrawing first] The weather is unreal. Look at that sky.

- Se Chan, I'm such a big fan. - Hello!

- Thank you so much. - A grandma fan at that.

You seem like such a nice young man!

[Beaming] Thank you.

If I had a daughter I'd want you as my son-in-law.

[Our youngest: potential national son-in-law] Thank you.

[Jae Seok finally reaches the counter] Hello.

I'm here to pay my taxes.

[A little small talk] I haven't had any time to come in.

So I squeezed this in during a shoot.

[Quick decision: let's wait in the car] Jae Seok might be a while.

You don't have an envelope or anything, do you?

[Gets a zipper bag for the group cash] I'll use this.

- Let's collect the money first, hyung. - Okay.

[Collecting 300,000 won each for now] Here you go.

I can't remember the last time I handled this much cash.

Cash, right. Nobody does anymore.

[Group money paid, MAP Sung Min returns to atlas] Even when I pay someone, I transfer it.

Se Chan, with old maps like this

if you wanted to see the area above this page it would tell you which page to turn to.

Oh!

And for the area to the side it says, "See page 126."

[Opening the atlas along with MAP hyung]

Hmm... but still

[Still doesn't get it] how do we even get to Suwon?

[Already figured it out] Take Route 47 from Gwacheon

then switch to National Route 1 near Uiwang.

[Double-checking, just in case...]

[Then triple-checking with another map...]

[Even marks every city on the route Gwacheon, Suwon, Osan, Pyeongtaek, Cheonan]

Okay. I basically get it now.

[While waiting for the taxpayer] Isn't 40% almost half your money gone?

[Hot topic from row two: stocks] Pretty much...

I've got a few that are down 90%.

Back during COVID

that meal-kit... I mean, not meal kits.

[Bought shares tied to COVID-19 self-test kits] Those test kits you swab your nose with.

They said there'd be a second COVID wave, so I bought in

and it got destroyed.

Down 92%.

Something that was over 60,000 won

is like 5,000 now. Ha... ha...

[If you can laugh on way down you've won at life] I'm down 85% on one.

And 70% on another.

[Doesn't invest at all] From 60,000 won to 5,000?

Yeah. It can fall that far.

That's everything, right? Thank you so much.

[Tax duty complete] Thank you for your help. I'll be back soon.

Have a good one.

[Hurries out, then stops] Oh!

[Quick courtesy check] After you.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello.

You're incredibly kind.

I'm so sorry. This took...

[Restless after it takes longer than expected] It's already...

Seoksam hyung is probably in there roasting me right now.

[Explaining as he speeds up] Between taxes and all the banking I put off

and we still need gas when are we ever leaving?

[When are they ever getting to Iksan?] We can't even escape Seoul.

When are we leaving?

[The trip starts with Jae Seok running in a panic] Hold on, this is...

[They spot him running] There he is.

Welcome back!

- Sorry, sorry. - Oh, come on!

[Not one complaint while waiting...] You know, stuff like that

[They prefer criticism to his face] you really should've handled earlier.

[Chaos] Parking fee! Parking fee!

[Chaos, part 2] Getting in here? Or up front?

[To reach rows 3~4, row 2 has to get out] We have to pay for parking.

Hyung! I'll pay it from the group fund.

[Peace...]

- I'll just use my card. - No, hyung.

[As always, nobody is chasing them but somehow everyone is in a rush...]

Did you come to pay it?

[The crew was already paying for both production vehicles]

They paid already.

[He sprints back again]

It's paid, it's paid.

[Seok Jin waited so he could get into row three] Okay, get in now.

Thank you.

[Bonk] Ow! That hurt.

[Thoughtful and indifferent at once] That hurt.

Hey, isn't it cramped back there?

- Want me to move up a little? - Tons of room. Seriously.

[Driving with NO GPS, ONLY national roads] Everyone in?

Yes! Seat belts on!

First stop, Gwacheon!

You can get to Gwacheon easily, right?

[Right next to southern Seoul] With my eyes closed.

[He knows the road to Gwacheon already] We just go through Sadang-dong.

[10:20 a.m]

[The worry starts creeping back] Man, the fact that we're using national roads...

We're going to hit every single traffic light, aren't we?

Yep. Light after light.

[Immediately stopped at one] Anyway, you collected the group money, right?

I did.

[Paying into the fund at the light] 100,000... 200,000...

[Counting every bill carefully] 300,000 won.

What year are we living in? This feels like 1980.

[Marching backward through the cashless era] Even the '80s weren't this analog.

Look at Dad over there staring at his map.

[Between chosen inefficiency and romance] Still staring at the map.

Eldest son) Dad, are we there yet?

[Their first real objective] For this trip to actually begin

[First: escape familiar Seoul] we need to get out of Seoul.

Then it'll finally feel like the national-road trip has started.

Right now this is still way too Seoul.

[But...] We're basically still in the neighborhood.

[Traffic-light hell] There are so many lights.

[An unexpected major obstacle] Seriously. It's nonstop.

Another light...

We just got through one

went maybe 100 meters

and here's another one.

[You watch the lights. I'll watch the map]

- What? - Sung Min is already deep in the map.

Roughly... roughly

[Route to Chungcheong-do: basically solved] I've got us mapped to Chungcheong-do.

Already?

Hyung, that's enough. Rest your eyes.

You're the best. Seriously.

We go toward Suwon, hit Route 1 and keep heading down.

Route 1?

Hyung, we met at nine.

It's ten-thirty now

and we still haven't left Gangnam.

[Seoul → Iksan The distance they need to travel]

[Distance traveled so far] Looking at how things are going

[Lunch probably won't be in Iksan] we'll have to eat before we get there.

What should we have for lunch?

How about a full Korean spread?

- That's a little much... - Come on, there's soup and rice.

- Hehe... - A hearty soup meal

[Four men, four completely different tastes] is guaranteed somewhere along the road.

[Even soup gets rejected] But soup and rice is kind of...

What about meat? Let's get meat.

What?

Seok Jin hyung absolutely needs Korean beef today.

[Previewing the likely route] We're passing Gwacheon, then Suwon...

Wow, Suwon ribs sound incredible.

Oh wow.

[They still have a long way to go] If we eat in Suwon, we'll fall way behind.

[Suwon ribs rejected on distance grounds] Right.

We should at least get into Chungcheong-do before we eat.

[At last, a rare moment of agreement] Yeah. Let's eat once we reach Chungcheong-do.

- Wow, the light... - Another one?

[Another light!]

We're by Seok Jin's house now.

This is my neighborhood. My place is over there on the left.

[The least road-trip-like start to a road trip]

[Losing it] Another red light!

Once you hit one, you hit all of them.

Hyung, another light.

It never ends.

This is insane...

This... I mean...

Are we going to give up halfway?

At this rate, hyung we'll reach Iksan tomorrow.

We've never made this kind of content before

so we have absolutely no data.

This is...

Normally

on regular broadcast TV

you couldn't do this, could you?

- Right? - No. You couldn't.

They'd cut all this car footage.

He's being way too careful with that phrasing.

"You couldn't... could you?"

And this is supposed to be a trip

[Copyright problems] but because we're filming for YouTube

we can't even listen to music.

We should've brought a guitar.

If we sing it ourselves, is that copyrighted too?

- No. - That's fine.

Why? You going to sing us something?

No, hyung.

- Sing one song. - No, hyung. Sorry.

What is it? What's your go-to karaoke song?

I don't have one.

[Spear versus shield] Not even one?

Nothing makes me more nervous than singing.

- Seriously? - Yeah.

[Not a rerun] Wow, these traffic lights are unbelievable.

How are we catching every single one?

Lights are luck too. It's all timing.

It'll get better later. Stay positive.

If it's bad now, it'll be good later.

[Positive thinking: failed] Nope. Still bad.

You know we're literally just staring at traffic lights, right, hyung?

[At this point, a question begins to bloom] Why did we decide

we had to take national roads?

Why did we ever say that?

- No GPS and no expressway are separate rules. - Why did we combine them?

[National roads only! No expressways] The expressway and GPS thing are kind of...

[Quietly] I mean

if you're going toward Gangwon-do or Gyeongsang-do from Seoul...

[Unlike now, no major cities one after another] National roads can be fine.

You don't have to crawl through huge cities.

But on this route...

[Sniffle]

We've got Suwon, Gunpo all these urban areas in the way.

[Yep, another light] Another one.

Jae Seok, what kind of dream did you have last night to deserve this?

[Eyes on the map] Is this a sign telling us not to go?

I mean, we're only

avoiding the expressway because we said it out loud.

True.

I understand the no-GPS rule.

[He remembers now] We were basically going to use expressways

until Sung Min suddenly said

- "National roads are the whole point." - "We have to take national roads."

- "National roads will be fun." - He did say that.

I'm sorry.

[NO apps and NO reservations were nothing] You even said we should cross mountain passes.

[ONLY national roads raises the difficulty] So yes, there will be a lot of car footage.

[The map ace remains unshaken by every complaint] The car is probably

more than half the episode.

[Listen up] All right! New route.

Route 39. We're taking National Route 39.

[Why switch from Route 1 to Route 39?] Why 39? What's the reason?

It's closer to a straight shot.

That was the most confident Sung Min has sounded all day.

[Approved!] Then 39 it is.

[Memories flooding back] Wow, this takes me back.

We used to say things like "Take Route whatever!"

- We said that all the time with maps. - "Get on National Route 3!"

I haven't talked like that in twenty years.

[And now they are] Was it 39 or 29?

For now, we need Route 47.

[Final plan: take Route 47 from Gwacheon] Route 47. Okay.

[Then switch to Route 39 near Hwaseong] Stay on 47, then change to 39.

[47 → 39, everyone memorizes the numbers] 47, then 39.

The thing is

if we'd left downtown and gotten on the expressway

we'd just keep going straight.

[Just cruise to Iksan with a service-area break] Then we'd stop at a rest area on the way.

- Exactly. - We'd be on it already.

[They are still in Seoul] We'd be so much farther by now.

Miles farther.

Remember those old holiday clips?

There'd be a huge snowstorm while everyone was stuck in traffic

[Old-school road-trip romance] so people would just stop on the road

and cook ramyeon right there. You remember that, right?

Yeah, I remember.

[And now, them...] I just checked

the compass.

We're actually heading due south.

[Unexpected romance: following a compass] The compass...

Hyung, we're going south perfectly.

Look. That's S right there.

[11:00 a.m. Finally entering Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do]

Isn't this Namtaeryeong?

[The pass between Seoul and Gwacheon] It literally says Namtaeryeong.

Suwon World Cup Stadium. That's right!

24 kilometers.

- That's Route 47. - Yep, 47.

[The kind of unexpected dopamine you only get on national roads]

Whoa. I just got chills.

There it is!

"Suwon World Cup Stadium" and 47 right underneath it.

Wait, Suwon World Cup Stadium is still 24 kilometers away?

Hyung, we're not actually going through Suwon.

[After revising Route 1 → Route 39] Right, we peel off before Suwon.

[The new route passes through Hwaseong] Route 39 takes us toward Hwaseong instead.

[The familiar road ends at Gwacheon Now they have to watch every sign]

What's this?

We can take the underpass, right?

[Tension rises on an unfamiliar road with no GPS] We're not supposed to go that way, are we?

No, this should be fine.

Straight ahead, right?

Okay! It says Suwon, for now.

Yeah, yeah. Keep going straight.

The road marking says Suwon too.

But we're not actually going to Suwon.

[Need Route 47, but not Suwon] The pavement says Suwon.

[Confused by the earlier sign] We just stay on 47, right?

Oh, this is the underpass that runs through Gwacheon.

Wait. Wasn't Suwon up there?

Should we have gone up?

Huh? That was 47 too.

[Blank] What do we do?

Oh, over there...

Ah! Left turn is 47 too!

- This way works. This way works. - We're okay?

[Confused] Why are there two Route 47s?

[Instant exhaustion] Route 47 is driving me insane.

[Youngest goes dark] 47 up there, 47 to the left.

I broke into a sweat for a second.

- Right? Exactly. - With GPS, it just goes ding and tells you.

Okay, that's Seoul Grand Park.

[Need to change lanes] Suwon should be over to the side.

[Serious]

- Suwon... - Uiwang is showing up now.

[Okay] Suwon, Uiwang. I think that's our direction.

Gwacheon... Government Complex...

[For now, they just need Route 47]

Gunpo, hold on. We need Anyang and Gwacheon, right?

If we're heading through Gwacheon...

[Checking pavement, then signs] It's Anyang, Gwacheon.

[After careful study: straight] Straight ahead.

And this thing here...

the compass says south is that way.

[Using every backup tool to check direction] Where are we now?

We just need to keep heading south.

All right!

South! Let's go south!

[Everyone jolts upright] Hey, we need to get this part right.

Straight. Anyang and Gwacheon stay straight.

Wait, if we go straight are we sure this is right?

Yeah, this is it.

Anyang?

[Anyang confirmed, relief] Anyang.

From now on, every exit we see we need to question it.

Uh-oh?

Without GPS

every single decision feels like a thriller.

[Bad feeling...] One wrong turn costs at least 30 minutes.

Thirty minutes to loop back.

[Anxious finger 1 / anxious finger 2] So we keep toward Anyang, right?

[Every fork makes them spring up] Right or left?

[No sign, so... straight for now] Let's just keep going.

Anyang for now.

[Compass believer] And look, the road still runs south.

[Road-sign believer] No, the sign...

Come to think of it there are fewer lights now.

[One small mercy] This feels like an urban arterial road.

[Quiet...]

[Anyang] Did we already pass Indeogwon Intersection?

- Hyung! - Yeah?

Are you seriously going to stare at that map for four and a half hours?

- You're going to get carsick. - I still need a rough idea

of where we are.

[The weight on MAP Captain's shoulders] Our captain is...

Lost on my own map.

[Where are we now?] I don't know where we are.

[GPS Sung Min fails to refresh] Right now?

Hyung, don't worry. We're following the Route 47 you told us.

[Perfect timing: "Indeogwon" appears] We're at Gwacheon, Indeogwon.

Oh! Indeogwon! Yes, keep going.

[Somewhere between Gwacheon and Anyang, probably] Wow, and here...

Hold on.

Left turn?

It's left, right?

Right is Gwacheon which would send us backward.

[They spot "Indeogwon"] Indeogwon!

We got the direction right.

What year is it? We're navigating by words painted on the road.

Hyung, don't worry.

Trust me. Hyung

[The steering god, proud best driver] when I've got my hands on the wheel...

We've been flawless all the way to Indeogwon.

And wow, this area is really busy, hyung.

- This is Anyang. - Route 47!

Ohhh?

[They're properly on National Route 47!] Route 47, Gunpo, Uiwang.

[Current location: Anyang] Wow, we made it to Anyang.

We're actually doing great.

There's Indeogwon on the map.

We haven't gotten lost once so far.

Maybe we won't arrive at night after all.

And if we see cheap gas, let's fill up.

[Relaxed enough to plan fuel again] Let's get a little farther out first.

Let's find somewhere under 2,000 won.

Gas is expensive right now.

You'll see places at 1,998 won and stuff.

[Route 47 confirmed on the sign] Route 47.

Straight ahead.

Just keep following Route 47.

This isn't actually that hard, hyung.

I thought it'd be way more complicated and...

Huh?

- Isn't this a left-turn lane? - What?

- Shouldn't we have gone under? - Oh no, we should've gone down...

[Right road? Wrong road? The Punghyang Four's current route]

- Jae Seok! - Wow, before I even finished talking...

- Here, here! Straight is here! - Keep right! Right side goes straight!

Here, here, here. Yes! Okay! You scared me!

[False alarm resolved] There it is again, "Jae Seok!"

[Brief chaos over whether they could go straight] Hyung, can we stop doubting me?

Jae Seok!

I'm watching the road as I drive!

[Don't forget] One wrong turn costs us 30 minutes.

[Whenever Jae Seok drives on Punghyang trips] There it is again, "Jae Seok!"

[Least favorite phrase: "Jae Seok!"] You said "Jae Seok" again.

[Runner-up: "I knew this would happen"] We're definitely going the right way, right?

Thank goodness.

[GPS functioning normally] We'll be entering Gunpo soon.

Look at that sky! That green!

- The weather is incredible. - Beautiful, right, hyung?

You know, when we were kids the blue sky was always blue.

Exactly.

[Back before fine dust] When we were young...

[Clear blue skies used to be normal] It was always like this.

We just took it for granted.

[Sad] Now I'm happy just to see a blue sky.

How did the world get like this?

What is this, Gotham City?

Fine dust...

[Can you spot who's sitting in the massage chair?] I hate it.

Hyung, why are you bouncing your leg like that?

You felt it this whole time too?

[Nod, nod] Sung Min.

No, it's the seat. The seat keeps shaking.

Give it enough time...

and the irritation starts creeping back in.

[Irritable hour] There it is. We're getting touchy again.

[Inside Out has entered mood-swing mode] How'd you know? That startled me.

You were talking about the sky then out of nowhere...

It's just a habit of mine...

- Fine, I'll stop bouncing it! - No, hyung.

[Suddenly awkward?] Yeah, hyung. Don't bounce it.

I don't know if this makes any sense

but I only bounce my right leg.

So my right leg's actually thicker than my left.

Oh, come on!

[Even his leg thickness is living a lie...] No, seriously. They're different sizes.

The thing you shake most is your attitude.

[Payback for the earlier "Jae Seok" with a little wordplay]

You mean he acts cocky?

- You shake that attitude nonstop. - That little brat...

[GPS update in progress] And the whining.

[Adding "whining" to Seoksam hyung's most-shaken list]

I should've straightened him out when he was young.

- I had plenty of chances back then. - Then why didn't you?

- Maybe you couldn't handle him then either. - No, I was too softhearted.

[GPS Sung Min update complete] Meokgogae Intersection?

[Passing Deokgogae Intersection which sounds close enough to Meokgogae]

We're passing Meokgogae Intersection.

[Relieved] Okay, I've got us again.

You found us?

GPS is back online!

[Properly on National Route 47] We just passed Meokgogae Intersection

[From Deokgogae toward Hogye Intersection] and next up is Hogye Intersection.

Oh, pork belly sounds amazing...

Since it's nice and cool today how about kongguksu for lunch?

[A rare enthusiastic response] That actually sounds incredible right now.

- With some really good kimchi. - We just need a place that does it well...

[Remember: NO SEARCHING] Only problem is, wherever we stop

has to actually serve kongguksu.

[Hungry...] That sky looks like a bowl of soybean broth now.

We came the right way.

Told you, right?

Wait, what's that? Hold on.

[Eye-contact issue] What?

[They think a bug got inside the car] That bug's in here, isn't it?

Leave it alone. What's it gonna do?

It flew over here and started mating!

[Entering]

They're lovebugs.

Wait, right here...

It's inside, hyung!

[Escorting it back outside] There. Got it.

I didn't mean to but I guess I just...

broke up a couple mid-hookup. Jeez.

- You ruined their moment. - I didn't mean to ruin anything.

They were having such a nice time too.

[Lovebug POV] Who is this guy?

- Wow, I really did ruin it. - You absolutely did.

You could've pretended you didn't see them.

Yeah, but they came inside the car.

You can't do that in somebody else's car!

[Sophisticated humor]

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

[Lovebugs carry love... onward] So this is Gunpo.

[They've entered downtown Gunpo]

Whoa, look at those twisted doughnuts.

- Those look so good. - Yeah, that kind is great.

[But this car has no intention of stopping] This is the problem with our setup.

[Let's eat once we're a little closer to Iksan!] We can't just stop for everything we want.

- Not yet. - Not here. We need to go farther.

Not being able to check my phone is driving me crazy.

This is suffocating...

Can someone at least tell me where the KOSPI is right now?

[Half joking, half serious]

- Is it down? Up? Anything? - I think it's blue today.

Blue? It's down?

[Market update] Everything Seok Jin hyung owns is blue.

[As of the June shoot] The crazy thing is, with the KOSPI

hovering around 9,000 these days...

I'm still down 40 percent!

[Car-segment: Stock Talk Ants Are DdeunDdeun!] I don't even know how that's possible.

[Today's story: Jee Seok Jin] I bought in when it was at 3,000.

[Bought when the KOSPI was at 3,000]

- The stocks I bought at 3,000... - The index climbed 6,000 points

and I'm still down 40 percent.

That's because only certain sectors...

Unless you're in semiconductors, especially...

That's what people are saying, right?

I don't really know stocks

but when everyone heard stocks were hot they all piled in, right?

And that's what pushed the KOSPI up, no?

Well, earnings did support it too so there is that.

[Next story: Yang Se Chan] Anyway

[He once held a lot of one major market leader] Se Chan had a pretty big position

in one of those so-called market leaders.

I did...

But, honestly...

I was exhausted by it.

He'd held it forever

so the second he thought, "That's enough"

[He boldly took his profit] He sold and took the win.

Then it exploded right after.

Seriously... wow.

He sold after making a little then from his sell price

it went up another four times.

That's life.

- Wow, hyung. Cold. - Easy to say when it's not your money.

[But he's not wrong] Still, that really is how life works.

It really is.

And honestly

if you live by, "How can everything go right in one life?"

- it's actually great for your sanity. - Exactly.

I tell my wife "Look, we're all healthy, right?

If our stocks went perfectly too...

- Now we're just being greedy." - That's greed. Exactly.

Route 39 should show up soon.

[Toward Balan, Hwaseong] We're on 47 now.

[Almost time to switch to National Route 39] See Route 39 up there?

There it is. Balan.

We take the Route 39 side.

Oh, so now we're heading toward Hwaseong!

Hold on, another gas station...

[They found the sub-2,000 price from earlier!] 1,999 won.

- Are we running low? - That's cheap.

But if we keep going won't it drop even more?

[Back in the price-comparison trap] Maybe we'll see 1,967 or something.

[Human desire is endless and the same mistakes repeat]

Now that would be sweet.

- So our target is... - The 1,960s?

Let's try for the 1,960s.

Let's hunt for 1,960-something. No idea if we'll find it, though.

[MAP Sung Min deploys the magnifier]

[Checking the sign]

[Okay, confirmed]

Straight.

This road's basically highway quality.

[Cruising down a wide-open road] No traffic at all. This is great.

I think it'll be pretty clear from here.

The expressway might be worse because everyone piles onto it.

Route 39 is to the right, isn't it?

Wait, wait. Is this Route 39?

[They see 39 and peel off right...] Right.

No! That's not it!

I almost yelled, "Jae Seok!" again.

[Q. Why must they not turn right here?]

[Flustered] It's not?

I think we go straight...

Hyung, it's straight here.

- What? You said take 39! - This side goes toward Incheon.

Hyung! This goes toward Incheon!

[They need to head south but instantly end up northbound]

[Incheon / Gunpo]

Hey, hey, Jae Seok!

- Hey, he told me... - Jae Seok.

[No defense available] "Navigation will now end."

[MAP Sung Min has ended guidance] Hyung, wait...

We were doing fine...

[Team Jae Seok] We were doing fine.

[Team MAP Sung Min] I mean, the sign you saw did say 39...

With GPS we'd at least know how many minutes this mistake cost us.

Hold on, hold on. Everybody stay calm!

[MAP Sung Min rebooting] Let's turn around. Turn around.

Can we U-turn here?

Wait, is this an expressway?

[It is a regular national road] Then get off to the right.

[Correction] Hyung! It's regular Routes 39 and 42 here.

- Take it. - Where?

[Thankfully, there is an exit on the right] Right. Get off again.

- Okay, everybody calm down! - Straight sends us to Incheon.

[Checking yet again] All right! Here? We take this?

- Take it, take it, take it, take it! - Take it, take it, take it, take it!

Just take it.

Oh? That loach soup place looks good.

[Excuse me?] That loach soup looks good.

Think before you speak.

- That came out of nowhere. - I think we loop around this way.

Sorry.

Hold on... hold on...

Go underneath here...

- Come out below, then turn right. - Okay, got it.

- Straight was right back there. - Okay, don't worry.

Hyung, you know what?

- I just got chills. - Why?

The second we took a wrong turn we all started yelling, right?

- And then the crew burst out laughing. - They loved it.

[Mind reader] They've been waiting for us to mess up.

[Gyewon, you're enjoying this too, right?] You hear them back there? They're cracking up.

Just because we went the wrong way.

Wow... first time they've laughed all day.

All it took was one wrong turn.

Oh? Naju beef soup... wow.

That looks good too...

It's open 24 hours.

["Let's eat farther down!"] But if we eat here...

[The Punghyang Four won't give in that easily] No way. What a waste.

Keep going. We need to get farther.

The Route 47 junction is 500 meters ahead.

Wow, you're finding this perfectly.

[Don't forget] So from here, Route 39...

[On high alert] Do we exit?

- Turn right here! - Yes, right here.

[Sign spotted] This is it, right? Route 39, Seohae-ro!

[Dopamine explosion] Okay, this is it!

[The kind of thrill you only get with NO GPS and NO expressways]

[Basically a festival] Balan, Bibong!

[The energy of a team that just scored] Okay!

Toward Balan and Bibong.

Yes! That's it!

Right?

Everyone's living and dying by every turn.

[Punghyang: Inside Out never left] Seriously.

Good.

[Double-check] So earlier we were going this way

- then peeled off over there? So this is right. - Yeah, yeah. We're good. We're good.

[Stay on this and eventually... Iksan!] Route 39.

[Now properly on Route 39] Yep, national road.

[Another gas station ahead] Gas station on the right again.

Huh?

[Gasoline 1,994 / Diesel 1,964] 1,994 won.

No. Not yet.

Yeah, let's keep going.

The farther south we go

the cheaper it keeps getting.

The difference is barely anything

but somehow you get so picky about it.

[Like exchange rates...] It starts feeling like a rip-off.

Exactly. Feels wasteful.

[HONK! HONK!]

What's his problem?

Why's he doing that?

That truck's honking because the car ahead won't move.

[HONK! HONK!]

[Car-segment special 2: Road Talk, Punghyang-ly] Okay, enough with the horn.

He must be in a serious hurry.

Traffic Cop Yu) But the left lane is the passing lane, so...

Traffic Cop Lee) The car up front is actually the one in the wrong.

Yeah, it is.

You've got to move over or people will come around you.

The passing lane's supposed to stay clear.

Right.

[Case closed] There, he's moving right now.

[Today's story: Lee Sung Min] Years ago

[He was driving behind a truck like this] I was following one of these trucks

and a little rock kicked up.

That cracks the windshield, right?

Oof...

Did it crack yours?

Yep!

[Repair bill: shattered] And suddenly, bam. Money gone.

[Second story: Jee Seok Jin] You know those big metal coil springs from cars?

[A steel spring was lying in the road] Those curved metal ones.

There was one lying on the pavement.

[Terrifying...]

The car in front hit it, and it came flying at me.

It actually lodged in my windshield.

Whoa, hyung. You could've been seriously hurt.

It stuck into the lower part then eventually fell out.

[Third story: Yu Jae Seok] I was on the expressway years ago

[A brick fell from the vehicle ahead] and a brick fell off a dump truck in front of me.

It bounced, thunk... thunk... Huh?

- Did it hit you? - Yeah.

Luckily it missed the windshield and hit the lower part of the car.

Made this huge bang.

[Repair bill: shattered 22] I had to get the car fixed after that.

[Repair bill: shattered 333] I had to replace my windshield too.

At least none of us got hurt.

[Anything can happen on the road] Yep, still Route 39.

[Drive safe, Gyewon!] We just keep following 39.

Anybody need a bathroom stop?

[Our very considerate driver checks urgent needs] I'm good.

I'm okay for now.

Nobody? Nothing urgent?

Okay, then we keep moving!

Hyung, is there a rest stop here?

[Passing through Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do] Not a full rest stop. A drowsy-driver stop.

[Drowsy-driver rest area ahead] There's one coming up.

You okay to keep driving?

Of course I am.

Want me to take over?

No! I think we're better off with me driving.

Ahh!

[MAP Sung Min update] If we stay on this, we can go through Asan

Asan in Chungcheongnam-do.

Or we can go around it...

Asan?

[Asan, Chungcheongnam-do] Yeah, Asan, hyung.

[In 1995, Asan County and Onyang City merged] What used to be Onyang Hot Springs

[and became today's Asan City] is Asan now.

Then before Iksan we should stop somewhere like that.

Want to check out Asan?

[What they know about Asan #1] Isn't Asan an industrial city?

[What they know about Asan #2] And there's Asan Bay.

[What they know about Asan #3] Oh, and Asan...

Dong Min hyung, comedian Jang Dong Min is from Asan.

- DEF fluid... - Look, look.

[Another gas station appears] Forget that. Check this place.

- The gas price? - Yeah, see how much.

1,965 won. Sixty-five!

[1,965! Their first price in the 1,960s] Sixty-five! 1,965!

[Somehow they think it can go even lower] No, hyung. It'll drop more farther down.

Wow, we actually hit the 60s.

Oh! Jjamppong!

[1 hour 30 minutes since leaving the office] That sounds good too.

[Past 11:30, hunger is setting in...] This is exactly when you want

to just spot some random restaurant from the road...

And just pull in.

[Gulp] That's the whole thing, isn't it?

- I know what I want right now! - What?

Isn't that the taste of a national-road trip?

Spicy stir-fried octopus!

Pass.

Then what do you want? Say it, man!

[So happy] Why are you swearing at me?

[Back to gas prices] Wow, even this area has 1,965.

Oh, this one's back up.

It's 1,999...

Should we have filled up back there?

Another station! Check this one too.

[Our tiny road-trip thrill] The difference is tiny but it's so exciting!

Highest we've seen is 1,999.

- Self-service! - Then it'll be cheaper there.

Self-service is the move.

[Approaching with great expectations] How much?

- 1,989. - And it's self-service?

[After 1,965, back up to 1,989] So the earlier one was cheaper.

[But once you've seen 1,965...] The second you see 1,965...

You can't bring yourself to pay more.

[Welcome to a familiar hell...] Anything above 1,965 is impossible now.

Can't do it.

[Punghyanggo 1: Exchange-rate hell] It's like when we went to Vietnam

and saw the airport exchange rate...

- We agonized over every rate after that. - Took forever to exchange money.

That first number became our benchmark.

[Still, just seeing the sky meet the road...] Wow, look at the sky today.

[is enough to lift the mood] It practically touches the road.

It really does, hyung. Feels so close.

But we're still just sitting in the car...

The sky's this beautiful and we're trapped in here.

So far this whole show is just one long shot of a car.

[The veteran entertainers start getting nervous] Maybe we should actually get out somewhere soon.

[Current screen-time share: vehicle] We've been in the car for an hour and a half.

That's why we're trying to get farther first.

Oohhh, pork stew...

Heh...

Se Chan's just reading every restaurant sign now.

And you heard "pork stew" from there too.

- You're hungry, aren't you? - I think I am.

[Me too...] Hey, fresh bread, 1,000 won.

Hahahahaha.

He's reading everything. Everything!

[Or gas prices] And everything he reads is food.

[And somehow, it's all food!] Every sign he sees, he reads it out loud.

Wow, this national road is wide open.

[A road stretching straight to the horizon] Look at that. How is a road this straight?

Soft-tofu jjamppong...

[Food signs hypnotize everyone] See? He's doing it too now.

[Excited] Hyung! If they use 100% domestic soybeans

they definitely have kongguksu.

Soft-tofu jjamppong!

[Trying desperately to regain composure] But if we stop here...

Huh? Oh... budae-jjigae...

[100 minutes of voluntary fasting(?)]

Big Jjun Budae-jjigae.

[No change of plan: nonstop to Asan] If we just stay on this, we're in Asan.

Pyeongtaek is to the left.

Oh, even "Juk-ri" has a vibe to it.

We should be about here by now.

That could be a song lyric. "Here in Juk-ri..."

"Here in Juk-ri"?

You kind of stole "On the Street," didn't you?

But Seoksam hyung is actually good at making songs up on the spot.

It's a gift.

[A quick beauty touch-up before creating art] Here in Juk-ri

The four of us

Here in Juk-ri

Will we ever meet again?

No, we won't, because

- This is turning into a letter, not a song. - We're going to Asan!

[Our lyricist has a lot to say] He's writing a letter.

We're going to Asan right now!

[A singing rapper barges in] What if we don't? What if we never get there?

Here in Juk-ri

[Sudden climax]

Will we ever get to eat?

That dude, seriously his confidence is unbelievable.

That sounds suspiciously familiar...

Will we ever

Na-na-na-na

- You borrow a little from everywhere. - Na-na-na, I wanna!

[Somehow everyone can sing along to this song] Listen. "Until the day I..."

That's Fin.K.L.! "Ruby," right?

"To My Boyfriend"?

[It was Fin.K.L.'s 1999 hit "Eternal Love"] If it starts sounding familiar, change the melody.

Not knowing how many minutes away we are is the frustrating part.

[Punghyang skill level: MAX] What? That's the whole point of traveling!

Exactly.

You just go with no schedule at all.

Ooh, kalguksu...

[The youngest now reads signs like a cough]

[and the voluntarily car-bound crew starts wavering with him]

Hey, that menu has dumplings bibimbap, pork cutlet...

[And another gas station] How much is gas here?

[Somehow, the 2,000s are back] 2,019 won.

- 2,019? - Expensive.

Should we have filled up back there?

1,965... yeah. That 1,965 was shocking.

[Exchange rates, hotels, and now, regret déjà vu] Should we have taken the 1,965?

[MAP Sung Min open for business] Left for Asan.

Left?

If we want Route 39 toward Asan...

Asan is left. Left.

Turn right and we'll be going around.

[Everyone doing their own job Singing Seok Jin x MAP Sung Min chaos]

[Plagiarism screening] A punch of love, a punch, a punch

Might sound a little familiar...

Left turn.

What is this hyung doing?

Go straight and we lose 30 minutes!

What even is that?

[A song about the suffering of NO-GPS national-road drivers — by Singing Seok Jin]

I don't want straight

[More satisfying than any radio show or song] If you want Asan

[Singing Seok Jin, eldest-hyung entertainment] Then left is the plan

[The question that finally stops him] Isn't CHOONGJU JI-C releasing a song?

Yeah. CHOONGJU JI-C is coming back.

[Releasing July 17] What's the title?

[The new single, now released] "AQUA."

Going after the same thing again?

[Following "Milkshake" feat. Wonstein] Summer.

[Another summer-season song] Bit late to aim for Waterbomb, though.

The article about it was hilarious.

What did it say?

Exclusive!

"CHOONGNAM JI-C to release a new album in July!"

[Chungju is in Chungcheongbuk-do, by the way] I lost it at "CHOONGNAM JI-C."

Chungnam isn't even close.

Oh! Gongju, Dangjin, Asan...

Asan is 28 kilometers! We're almost there!

Once we cross the seawall, yeah.

You know, normally...

you just listen to GPS tell you where to go and follow it

but doing this with absolutely nothing...

It has its own charm.

I kind of like it. We actually talk to each other.

[Still fascinated that GPS is completely OFF] It's wild seeing that screen totally dead.

Exactly.

Normally, if that turns off you can't go anywhere.

- Makes you nervous, right? - Very nervous.

Whoa... look at this road.

[Instant relief]

There's nobody out here now.

What even is chive gomtang?

[Why does "chive gomtang" sound so wistful?]

Probably gomtang with chives in it, hyung.

Do you know how many dishes we've named out loud today?

[Gulp] Delicious and healthy...

Hyung.

Oh, here it comes!

- What is that? A river? - Whoa! What is this?

[Crossing the Asan Bay Seawall] The seawall.

What a view.

[Asan Bay Seawall] This is nice.

[Where the stream meets Asan Bay on the Yellow Sea] What's that?

[Built in 1974 at the estuary dividing Asan, Chungnam and Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi]

[A scenic drive with sea and lake views] Saemangeum?

[A scenic drive] This road does go toward Sapgyo and Dangjin.

Now this is a national-road trip.

[Following a beautiful road they never planned to find]

[Asan, Chungcheongnam-do]

[Current location: Asan / Nearly noon] [The Punghyang Four finally enter Chungcheong]

- We can just keep going. - This is relaxing.

So Asan is Onyang?

Ah, this is it.

[Sung Min spots something pretty in the distance]

[Perking right up] There are a bunch of pretty things over there.

Gongse-ri. It's Gongse-ri!

[Gongseri Catholic Church, Asan] What's that?

Gongseri Catholic Church?

[The thing Sung Min noticed was the church] The church was on the right.

What do we do? Check out Gongse-ri?

Pull off? Want to pull off?

- Pull off? - Go to Gongse-ri?

[P button ON suddenly everyone's talking]

Let's check out Gongseri Catholic Church.

All right, pull in! Pull in!

[Heading toward Gongseri Catholic Church] Church parking lot.

[See Punghyanggo 2] Why do all our trips turn into church tours?

[Strange] They really do.

- Good things happened after every one, though. - We have a weird connection with them.

That's true.

[Their first time in Gongse-ri, Inju-myeon, Asan] I've never been anywhere called Gongse-ri before.

Even the name is pretty.

[Maybe because of the heat, it's completely quiet] How is there nobody here?

Maybe it's too hot. Everyone's inside.

Oh, even the houses here...

The walls are pretty too.

[A quiet, picture-book little neighborhood] This place has a vibe.

It's pretty.

- There's a ssambap place... - Asan Gongseri Holy Site Catholic Church!

So this must be a pilgrimage site.

It says it's a designated city heritage site.

[More excited the closer they get] This place is incredible.

In your whole life, honestly...

[Hard to imagine coming here without this trip] When would you ever end up here, hyung?

This place has something.

[Continuing toward the church] This is one-way, hyung.

Parking lot on the right!

[They find the church parking lot and pull in] There's parking right here.

- They've set this up well. - Let's go.

Are we finally getting out after like two hours?

[Current time: 12:15 p.m] Pretty much.

Yeah, an hour and a half or so.

[Out of the car at last, nearly two hours later] Let's stretch our legs.

That took two hours.

[Gongseri Catholic Church, Asan] Wow, it's gorgeous.

Look at those trees. Beautiful.

[A welcome release for the cooped-up four] So pretty.

[Bright weather lifting everyone's mood] The weather is amazing today, hyung.

It really is.

There's a restroom here.

[Bathroom break first] Should we go? Let's hit the restroom real quick.

[Meanwhile, Wasp Lee stays behind to read the information board]

It says this is one of Korea's most beautiful churches.

And there are several nationally protected trees over 350 years old.

It says Lee Myeong Rae's famous salve began here.

Do you know what that old salve was?

[Lee Myeong Rae's salve] When you get these boils and skin infections...

[A black medicinal plaster created in 1906 used on boils and skin infections]

[A household medicine in Korea through much of the 1980s]

You'd stick this thick black patch on a boil and it would heal it.

[The others are already coming back] Everyone visits this place, huh?

[Naturally sharing what he just learned] Apparently this is

one of the most beautiful churches in the whole country.

Oh, really?

We seriously picked a great place.

[They found somewhere beautiful by pure chance] And we only came here by accident.

[This is pure Punghyang core] One of Korea's most beautiful churches.

Seriously?

Apparently Gongseri Catholic Church

[Film TaeGukGi: Brotherhood Of War] has appeared in tons of movies

[TV series Sandglass and Sisyphus] and dramas.

[Also featured in East of Eden, IRIS II and many other productions]

[Perks up at the old salve just like Sung Min] Lee Myeong Rae's salve started here?

Here? That Lee Myeong Rae salve?

These guys don't even know what that salve is.

You don't know it? Really?

[While the others discuss the old remedy] Nowadays, if you get a boil, you go to a clinic.

[The second-oldest finally heads to the restroom] Back then, if you got one...

- You put that medicine on it? - Yeah, this black stuff.

[Deep into the salve lecture] You'd stick it on an inflamed spot, even butt.

It would draw everything right out.

But that Lee Myeong Rae salve...

do they even make it anymore?

I bet they do. Somewhere still sells it.

Why does he wait until we come back to go to the bathroom?

Punghyanggo!

[Greeting passersby who recognize them] Hello!

[Certified Gyewon] I've been waiting for your Korea road trip!

- Yes, this is it! - Oh, you know!

Could we get a photo?

[Happy to oblige] Of course.

You're not putting any on? Want some?

[Sharing sunscreen with the crew mid-conversation] Is that sunblock?

- Yes. - Sunblock.

[Still passing around sunscreen] My father is battling cancer...

[Visiting with father during cancer treatment] Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.

And we came here together.

- Please bring him over. - Sir, come join us.

[Everyone takes a photo together] One, two, three.

Have a wonderful trip.

[A handshake and warm wishes] Thank you.

Jee Seok Jin!

- Yang Se Hyung! - Yes, yes... thank you.

Wishing you a full recovery!

Thank you very much.

[Trying not to laugh]

- Enjoy looking around. - Take care.

Se Chan... she called you Yang Se Hyung.

And Se Hyung gets called Yang Se Chan.

You two just get swapped back and forth.

She called me Se Hyung too.

[The familiar name-swap problem] People just pick one of the two.

Perfect timing. He comes out after every photo's finished.

What?

[The eldest fills him in] We just took some photos with people here.

They said they'd been waiting for our Korea trip.

[Still amazed] How did we randomly find somewhere this pretty?

- Must be a popular stop. - Seems like it.

But this is nice too, hyung.

Just sitting here, right?

It's perfect.

I mean, look...

[Under the cool shade of the trees] This whole spot is shaded.

[A bench made for taking a break] Nice and cool, right?

[Immediately claiming the bench] Imagine bringing a packed lunch and eating here.

The sun is blazing out there

but the second you step into the shade, it's cool.

- Perfect place to rest. - This is straight-up LA weather.

[Naturally slipping into rest mode] This is nice.

Good, right, hyung?

- We could eat over there. - Right?

If it were up to me I'd bring a packed lunch and...

I'd eat right over there.

[Oops] You can't sit with your back to the cameras.

[The honorary comedian forgets the cameras] What happened to "Four Comedians"?

[They've somehow split by shirt color] Even your outfits match by side.

What's with you?

[It is the same Punghyangjung shirt] It's the same shirt.

[The youngest is the only one in another color] Same shirt, different color.

[The hyungs are offended] Day one was supposed to be white, man.

I didn't know that. I just liked this color better.

Why did you pick white for day one, hyung?

Because I like white.

I just put it on.

At some point I started liking brighter clothes, especially white.

Careful saying it like that. People will think that's why all of us dress this way.

[Cracks up / personally attacked] But you know what they say, right?

Old guys start wearing brighter colors!

[Somehow: gray Young Blood vs. white Old Boys] By that logic...

Se Chan, this guy right here...

He loves bright colors more than anyone.

[Joyful Lee loves a loud palette] Jae Seok does like bright colors.

- Blue, yellow, all that. - I've always liked those.

And in summer I barely wear black.

- Too gloomy! - And it's hot. Black gets hot!

- Hey, you've got something down there. - Where?

- Is that blood? No, right? - No, no.

Oh! Earlier...

I ate that sandwich and never wiped it off.

[The kind who wears the evidence] So you're advertising the sandwich on your shirt.

[Thank you, SUBWAY!] You've got something on you.

SUBWAY!

[Rest over, back to exploring the church] I really like it here.

[A protected tree catches their eye uphill] This one's a protected tree.

How old is it?

Two hundred fifty to three hundred years!

[Awe]

Twenty-one meters tall.

[While everyone admires the tree one man quietly disappears]

[Interested in something else] Wow, the church is beautiful!

That must be the main sanctuary.

There he goes again. We're talking and he just wanders off.

[Wasp Lee is warming up]

But look how pretty it is.

This place is gorgeous!

So quiet too. I love it.

[A peaceful uphill walk] Seriously beautiful.

- Right? - Yeah, it is.

Really beautiful.

I bet they film tons of dramas here.

I can see why.

This is where the male lead comes to meet a nun, right?

[Fully immersed] Like, "Brother, you've come."

[Immersed right along with him] "Yes. There's something I need to ask you."

The tree! The tree!

This must be the one.

Now that's a tree.

- Wow, it's gorgeous! - So beautiful.

[A giant protected tree welcomes the four brothers]

Protected tree.

Three hundred fifty years old.

This place is seriously gorgeous.

[Everyone stops and stares]

And the church itself is beautiful.

Looks like we can go inside. Let's check it out.

It's really beautiful.

- It almost looks like a movie set. - Straight out of a drama or film.

[Founded in 1891, Gongseri Catholic Church was the first parish in the Daejeon Diocese]

[Gongseri Catholic Church Chungcheongnam-do Cultural Heritage No. 144]

[Named one of Korea's most beautiful churches by the Korea Tourism Organization in 2005]

[A brick Gothic church whose spire emphasizes its soaring vertical lines]

[Heading inside the sanctuary] Let's go.

Tradition says we always go inside.

[Punghyanggo 2, EP.2] What if there's a pipe organ again?

[Remembering the pipe organ they happened to hear] That performance really was pure chance.

[Pipe organ performance] Exactly.

[Carefully opening the door]

[Whispering] It's a place of prayer. Quiet...

Let's pray.

[We'll step inside and pray for a moment]

[Filmed with permission from Gongseri Catholic Church]

[A quiet moment of prayer at a church they found by chance]

[The four emerge after praying quietly] We said a little prayer.

Yeah. Took a moment to pray.

I bet a lot of people come here.

Hyung, look at this tree!

That's incredible.

[Another protected tree beside the church captivates the romantic brothers]

This one's really old too.

Look at those branches...

Those branches are... It's rooted itself everywhere!

[Nothing but awe in this green landscape] Hyung, this one's even bigger than the last one.

[Beauty everywhere they look] This church really is beautiful.

[Spotted] Gongse-ri Museum?

Hello!

- Hello! - Oh, hello.

I'm the caretaker here at Gongseri Church.

[Grateful when he tells them to look around] Please, take your time looking around.

Thank you.

We were just passing by and the church looked so beautiful.

We just had to stop.

There's a museum too?

[Gongseri Holy Site Museum beside the church] The museum is over this way.

[A museum renovated from the former rectory] They converted the old rectory

[Housing around 1,500 historical objects related to the spread of Catholicism]

[including records and artifacts from periods of persecution]

May we look inside?

[The caretaker gives them permission to visit] Thank you.

Wow, they have all this here.

[The history and roots of Catholicism in Korea] With all this here

[Designed to make that history accessible] it's genuinely worth visiting.

Priests' robes and vestments!

[Including priestly garments from the past] These are from back then, right?

They kept the actual things they used?

It's all still here.

[Artifacts from generations of clergy] They've preserved things from way back.

It's a Gothic church.

Gothic.

So this shows how they came here...

[The history of how Gongseri Church was completed] Built the church. The whole history is here.

[Museum visit complete] It's small and intimate.

Yeah, very simple.

And really beautiful.

Thank you.

Let's get a photo while we're here!

We have to get one with the church behind us.

[A commemorative photo on the way down] One, two, three.

[At beautiful Gongseri Catholic Church] Thank you.

You can see why so many dramas use this place.

[The Punghyangjung effect] If it weren't for Punghyangjung, honestly...

[They only arrived by following the wind] We never would've come.

We'd have no reason to.

- And we'd have missed this beautiful place. - How else would we ever end up here?

We would've punched in Iksan and driven right past.

What's in there?

[The third brother suddenly wanders off-route]

[Heading deeper inside alone]

So this is where people can pray...

There are little spots

set up throughout the grounds for private prayer.

[A pilgrimage path continues along the trail] They're arranged all along the path.

You can light a candle here

[The third brother quietly offers another prayer]

[Meanwhile, the others are lost in photo mode] One, two, three.

That came out well.

It's pretty from here too.

Over there is prettier.

[The second brother wants the prettiest backdrop] I'll take one for you there. This angle's nice.

- With this in the background? - It'll look great.

[Commemorative photo]

Actually, it's not that pretty.

[An honest review]

Se Chan, I'll be on SsookSsook soon. You know that, right?

[SsookSsook MoMuk TV EP.25] Will you be on it? Are you on it?

[This was filmed before that shoot] Yeah, right? It's booked, isn't it?

[CHOONGJU JI-C later visits SsookSsook MoMuk TV] We booked it yesterday, I think...

CHOONGJU JI-C's new album, "AQUA."

[Checking the upload date] This goes up August 1?

Then the song's already out

so please give it some love!

[Baffled] Hyung, seriously...

You're plugging an album in the middle of our trip?

[The third brother is still wandering peacefully] The weather is just incredible today.

[He spots someone coming back from prayer] She's already been praying over there.

Are you filming something?

[A brief conversation with a visitor] Yes, we're filming right now.

I noticed you were praying.

[He notices the book in her hand] Do you have a student taking entrance exams?

Yes.

Preparing for the CSAT?

No, my child's in ninth grade.

[Then why the exam prayer?] Oh, and?

They're applying to a gifted high school.

[Mystery solved] It's admissions season for those schools.

And there's nothing I can really do to help, so...

When your child finds out someday that you did this for them

I think they'll cry.

[Alone in the middle of the day for her child] You came all the way here

[A mother praying with all her heart] by yourself.

The first-round results come out today.

Maybe today's your lucky day.

What time are they announced?

[First-round results happen to be at 4 p.m. today] Four o'clock today. The first round results.

So I'm praying pretty desperately.

I've never lived with this much grace in my life.

[The more desperate the hope the fuller the heart]

- Take care. - Thank you.

[Joyful Yu loved that heartfelt conversation] That was wonderful.

They all left? Seriously...

[Disappointed, they missed such a story!]

That got me. "There's nothing I can do to help."

[As a fellow parent, he knows exactly] I understand

[why that feeling hits so hard] what that means.

[Meanwhile, the other three] Exactly, hyung.

[Heading back down behind Wasp Lee] This is the thing...

If we'd come on the expressway we couldn't have just pulled off here.

With GPS, you'd have to make this a destination.

[If they'd taken only the expressway] We'd already be in Iksan.

[And might have passed this place entirely] Right?

Man, eating something here would be amazing.

[That spot instantly brings food back to mind] Right?

- Yeah. - Right over there, like...

Hyung, back in the day...

we would've packed gimbap at home

[Regretting not bringing packed lunches] And brought our own food.

That's what people used to do, honestly.

Money was tighter back then, too

so families traveled with packed lunches all the time.

Seriously, hyung

we should've each brought a lunch from home! We could've had them here.

[The thought of lunchboxes gets all three talking] Then we could chill a watermelon here and...

We really should've done that.

[Still regretting it] This is the kind of story.

The kind of thing that makes

our trips special, isn't it? And you're just walking away.

[Greeting passersby who recognize them] Hello! Take care.

I've never seen a celebrity before!

[Celebrity bursts out laughing]

So the celebrities in front of me don't count as celebrities.

[A moment earlier] It really feels like a park here.

[They simply walked past the other three...] It's a church, but it has this park feeling too.

[Amazingly, nobody paid them any attention] There are little places to rest everywhere.

This is reality!

[Painfully confronted with reality] You need to know where you stand.

[The third brother is busy greeting everyone] Oh, hello!

Jae Seok hyung!

We really should've each packed something like gimbap.

[That is not the important thing right now] You know what's hilarious?

Those three people up ahead.

They must've seen you guys walk right past them, right?

Then they saw me and went

"Oh my gosh, I've never seen a celebrity before!"

[Even though Netflix's Teach You a Lesson was No. 1 globally!]

I don't know about that global No. 1 thing

but hyung, just now

[Living a fake life] everyone called us celebrities too.

How could we ever dare compare ourselves to you!

[Wasp Lee accepts this immediately]

[They tell him what happened earlier] On the way down here

I met a woman praying all by herself really intensely.

Her child's first-round results

- for a gifted high school come out at four today. - Oh, that's a huge day.

She said there was nothing she could do to help so she came here alone.

[Sharing the moving story with the other brothers]

And prayed for her child.

What's this ice water? I was just getting thirsty.

Wait, this was lying on its side

and it didn't leak!

Wow, you don't have to worry about spills at all.

Is this a new product?

[STANLEY 1913, your road-trip hydration partner] This was lying flat.

[Leakproof sealing and easy use on the move] And nothing came out.

It really doesn't leak.

[Wellspring Bottle / Spring Bottle Tempo Bottle / Quencher ProTour]

The Stanley Spring Bottle has a convenient one-touch lid

and you don't have to tilt your head back...

[Sip]

to drink from it!

It pulls up just like a straw.

You can drink while you're walking.

[Another refreshing sip]

And it keeps your drink cold in the car

so Stanley is honestly great for a trip like this.

[And the best part] I really love this.

[No worry about leaking even on the seat] You can leave it like this and it won't spill.

[Heading for downtown Asan] Ah, nice and cold.

[Hydrated and ready to roll again] Shall we go?

Let's go.

[Strange little routine: church visit complete] Funny how our non-routine routine

[Magnifier on] always ends up involving a church.

We keep finding churches.

[Back on the road MAP Sung Min returns to route mode]

So this is Gongse-ri.

[Leaving Gongseri Catholic Church] Our original plan was

[Gongseri Catholic Church → downtown Asan] Asan, so...

We're eating something now, right?

Do we eat downtown or around here?

[12:45 p.m. Lunch will be downtown] Let's go to Asan.

Asan it is.

That was our first target anyway.

Oh, a "Korean Food Battle" winner has a place here too.

Patbingsu sounds good...

[Another sign] "Soft tofu made with soybeans grown in-house."

Hyung! Isn't this scenery gorgeous?

That place definitely has kongguksu.

[Too hungry to see the scenery]

[Still tempted] They grow their own beans and make their own tofu.

[All eyes on the restaurants they pass] That absolutely means kongguksu.

[We know you're hungry, but downtown first!] Handmade tofu...

- Let's go to Asan. - Asan. Let's go.

With GPS, you could leave this road and never worry about finding your way back.

Still, hyung, I'm pretty good at finding my way, right?

- You are. - Oh, absolutely.

[Worried] You just have to enter this road the right way.

If you enter against traffic, we're dead.

Hyung, I'm a man who carries the whole road map in his head.

- This is the right road, right? - Of course.

[Back out the way they came] This is the same road we entered on.

[Best Driver smoothly exits again] It says Asan right there, hyung.

Me, hyung?

[Confused] Straight? No, wait...

I keep the whole route loaded in my head.

Seok Jin hyung really has no sense of direction.

- None. I'm hopeless. - Yeah, he really is.

[Smoothly back on Route 39 toward downtown] And now we're...

- Heading into Asan. - Just stay on 39.

Yesterday Ji Ho saw me packing and said

"Dad, where are you going?"

"Uh... I'm going somewhere."

"Where?"

"I honestly don't know yet."

"How can you be going somewhere and not tell me where?"

[Hurt] "You ask me everywhere I'm going"

"but you won't tell me where you're going!"

"I'm telling you, I don't know!"

[Both equally frustrated] "How can you be packing and not know?"

My daughter asked me this morning too "Where are you going?"

[All he can say is "I don't know"] I said, "I don't know. Why?"

"They won't tell us the destination."

And he keeps going "How is that even a thing?"

[It is a thing... right here] "How is that a thing?"

Kyung Eun asked me too. "When are you coming home, oppa?"

Don't know.

"Why do you never know anything?"

[Both frustrated again] "Because I genuinely don't know."

[A little bittersweet] My wife didn't ask where I was going.

It's her birthday whenever you leave town, hyung.

Uh... hahaha.

[Unable to deny it, he just laughs...] Seaweed soup.

You don't even have anyone to ask you, do you?

- Where you're going? - Nope. Nobody.

I just go by myself.

Hey! There's a rest stop!

[A sign for Yi Sun Sin Rest Area] Yi Sun Sin Rest Area.

What's that? We have to go.

Of course we stop!

[The P button gets slammed again] Wait, Yi Sun Sin Rest Area?

Hyung, aren't we going?

Why is it called Yi Sun Sin Rest Area?

- Isn't this where Admiral Yi grew up? - Maybe they named it after him for that?

Maybe.

Did he pass through here or something?

[No searching, so all they can do is wonder] There must be some connection.

They wouldn't call it that for nothing.

[We'll tell you, Gyewon] There has to be a reason for the name.

[Asan, where Admiral Yi Sun Sin spent his formative years]

[He lived here through his youth and early adulthood]

[and Hyeonchungsa Shrine in Asan honors his life and spirit]

Hyung! I'm dying to see this place.

[A rest area ignites Scholar Yu's curiosity] Yi Sun Sin Rest Area.

Let's go.

Did you even know Korea had a Yi Sun Sin Rest Area?

I had no idea.

And gas is usually cheaper at rest areas.

[They decide to stop] Let's pull in, hyung.

We've still got plenty of gas.

[Fuel is still fine] Over 300 kilometers of range left.

They've got LPG here.

[A self-service gas station ahead] Self-service.

- Bet it's cheap. - How much?

1,979 won.

Seventy-nine now.

Nothing has beaten 1,965.

[To the Gyewon] You are all keeping track

of these gas prices we're casually reporting, right?

[For your future national-road trips]

There really are places to rest all along these national roads

and gas stations everywhere.

Boop.

[His homemade sound effect before a sip]

Boop.

[Perfect sound-effect partners] The straw really is nice.

And I love this color.

[Boop]

Oh, it does go "boop."

[Delighted by one tiny sound] Boop.

[Almost at the rest area] We have to stop at Yi Sun Sin Rest Area.

When else are we ever going to come here?

[They spot a twisted-doughnut sign ahead] Hyung, they have twisted doughnuts.

We can at least grab one before we go, right?

[Extreme P types get hungry from words alone] Can we?

Yeah.

It's a national-road rest stop so I don't know what to expect.

[Construction materials everywhere nearby] Is this some kind of factory? Are we sure?

- Yeah. - This is the place.

Hold on...

Is there a factory next door or something?

[Suddenly uneasy] There's a stone yard too.

[But the wheel is already committed] Well, we're going in now.

[Spotted] We go in here!

[After continuing straight, the rest area appears] There it is.

[Still scanning prices] Gasoline, 1,999 won.

Hyung, there's a "Yi Sun Sin Chinese Restaurant."

[The admiral entered the restaurant business] Hyung, Yi Sun Sin Chinese Restaurant.

Punghyanggo was always like this too and today's our first Punghyangjung

but this is genuinely funny.

[Abroad or at home, spontaneous is still fun] Everything we do is completely improvised.

And weirdly funny things keep happening.

[An impromptu rest-stop snack run] We're checking out Yi Sun Sin Rest Area.

[Brief stop at Yi Sun Sin Rest Area]

There really is a Yi Sun Sin Chinese Restaurant!

[All they see: a Chinese restaurant and a store] And one little market.

[All they did was get out at Yi Sun Sin Rest Area] Fun, right?

[Joyful Yu is delighted] Yi Sun Sin Rest Area.

[To the Gyewon] Did you even know this rest area existed?

I didn't.

There was no way I could've known. I did not knooow!

[Seok Jin & Se Chan are already exploring inside] Hyung, in here...

there's a convenience store and a jjajangmyeon place.

- Hyung. - A Chinese restaurant!

[Reminder: lunch is supposed to be downtown Asan] We said we'd eat our real meal in Asan

Right. That's the plan.

Then should we just get twisted doughnuts?

Just a little doughnut snack.

[Inviting the filming crew to shop for snacks too] You guys need to eat too. Come over here.

- Oh, hello. - Hello.

[Question the second they walk in] Is this officially "Yi Sun Sin Rest Area"?

Oh! Because Asan is

[Admiral Yi Sun Sin's tomb is also in Asan] a region closely tied to Admiral Yi Sun Sin.

[Mystery solved, snack shopping begins]

Go pick out a few things.

[Staring at Matdongsan]

[Reading Seoksam hyung's mind] Oh? Want a bag of Matdongsan, hyung?

[Buying a large bag for everyone] Small one?

Get the big one.

Hyung, you need something crunchy to chew on.

- Absolutely. - You like this stuff.

[Looking after their snack-obsessed hyung] Absolutely.

Should we get some butter-grilled squid?

[Adding bite-size dried filefish too] This looks good. Little bites for everyone.

[A scene we've definitely seen before] Why aren't you buying anything? Get some.

[Urging the crew to stop filming and shop]

Buy stuff! We have group money.

[Full of very transparent club funds] It's right here. Plenty of it.

We're paying.

- Don't worry. Eat. - Eat, eat.

We have to spend money to keep the local economy moving.

[They listen well] All right, fried dried-filefish snack.

This looks good too! Three of these.

[Seoksam hyung selects snacks like a professional] Hyung, that's...

Oh, absolutely. We'll eat this all day.

We need at least one of these.

[Jae Seok picks out a snack too] Diget cookies?

You need one pack of Diget.

Drumstick crackers.

Syrup-coated yugwa is good too.

[The snack-shopping wheel has come off] Hyung...

[More snacks than two hands can hold] That is a lot of chips.

Because we still have tomorrow.

And on the road

those shell crackers keep you awake.

Shell crackers? Why?

Because they go crunch, crunch, crunch.

[Understands immediately] Oh, because of the texture?

[Sung Min goes looking for shell crackers] We each pick one, right? I want shell crackers.

They don't have any...

[Certified old-school palate Settles for peanut crunch instead]

I'll take this.

Should we get gum too?

[MAP brothers, harmonious as ever] Get gum.

We got gum too.

[The shopping never ends] Want one of these café lattes?

[Consumer fairy Jae Seok is shopping for coffee] Hollys?

This one! This one's really good.

You like that one?

[An old-school favorite enters the cart] Is Chicken Pop good?

[And a younger-generation school-store classic] It's really good.

Chicken Pop?

[After coffee, the little bird stops at the ramyeon display]

Later...

we have no idea what kind of lodging we'll get

so maybe we should take some ramyeon.

[Thinking...] Baehongdong Makguksu is really good though.

Just in case, then...

I'll get two. Only two.

This one's good too.

You're not getting ramyeon?

What did you buy?

[At least the ramyeon plan is J-style] If it's a hotel, we'll eat this

[Different ramyeon for different lodging] and if it's a pension, we'll eat this one.

We're helping the Asan economy.

We're saving Asan right now.

Buy a lot. A lot.

Am I wrong?

You're absolutely right.

[Basically chairman of the spending committee] We need to consume more.

I seriously love these.

- Then buy them, buy them. - Malang Cow...

[Practical little brother] Buy it! You'll eat it eventually.

Malang Cow is so good.

[79,100 won paid, joyful snack haul complete] Everybody got what they want?

Yep.

Thanks for the snacks.

- Enjoy. - Ah, this is nothing.

[Now, really heading downtown Asan] All right, let's go.

[Off to find lunch] We're almost there. Very close now.

[Handing over the gum Se Chan picked] Your gum.

Now, as a rule, celebrities probably

[Crackdown] shouldn't chew gum on camera!

- Oh, of course, of course. - It makes you look cocky.

Of course it does.

[Chomp, Captain Yu shuts down a potential scandal] No controversy, please.

No gum on camera.

How far does this rule go?

The ultimate controversy prevention.

- There will be no scandal. - Mr. Yu Jae Seok!

At what age am I finally allowed to chew gum on television?

Seok Jin hyung can't even cross his legs.

Can't put his hands in his pockets either.

[So many things forbidden to our sixty-year-old] How old do I have to be to cross my legs on TV?

[Yu Rulebook] Once you retire, you can cross them.

- Come on! - Once you quit television.

[MAP Sung Min studies the map with Jae Seok & Seok Jin as his radio]

[A road sign marks the entrance to downtown Asan] I think this is Asan.

We're here.

Looks like Asan City.

But we do have to reach Iksan, right?

Of course!

[Gyewon recommended Iksan in the comments] The people who requested Iksan

must have had a reason.

Exactly.

[P button permanently ON] Or we can keep wandering around

reach Iksan at night and sleep there.

Then see Iksan tomorrow morning.

I think we can still reach Iksan

- before dinner. - Easily.

[Plenty of time, current time 1:16 p.m.] It's only 1:16.

- That's all? - Yep.

It's exactly lunchtime.

Hey, this is actually fun.

We randomly found a church

and even checked out Yi Sun Sin Rest Area.

[Following wind into places they've never been] That's what this trip is giving us

[The flavor of our kind of travel!] places we'd never normally visit.

Exactly.

Right?

[Sung Min caught happily snacking]

Everybody really does love old-school snacks.

Matdongsan is great.

My dad's favorites were always Jolly Pong and Matdongsan.

- You know Jolly Pong? - Of course.

- Matdongsan? - Of course.

[Matdongsan is Se Chan's favorite too] It's actually my favorite snack.

- Matdongsan? - Yep.

[Sliiide]

Could you move this, please?

This? Yeah, it's good.

A fried snack coated in peanuts!

Haitai Matdongsan!

[Entering Asan's central district] So we really

[They've reached the Onyang Hot Springs district] made it to Asan.

[Welcome to Asan City! Onyang Hot Springs] This is Asan?

This area used to be famous...

[Onyang Hot Springs: one of Korea's oldest spa districts, located in central Asan]

[Through the early 1980s] as Onyang Hot Springs. Our parents' generation

[One of the first iconic honeymoon destinations] came here on honeymoons all the time.

[Now that they're downtown] Should we start looking for lunch, hyung?

[Yes]

Instead of staying on a huge road like this

[Suggesting hunting down an alley restaurant] let's turn left or right into some side streets

and find something there.

[Looks up from map study] I saw something like a market around here.

Or we can just get out and ask somebody.

[MAP Sung Min connecting to GPS] Where are we exactly?

[Near Onyang Hot Springs Traditional Market] The area around Onyang Tourist Hotel

[Setting Onyang Tourist Hotel as their target] looks like the center of town.

So that's the main area?

Left turn, hyung!

No, wait! These are all farm-supply and pesticide shops.

- Oh no... I already turned left. - No, no, good. Nice turn.

Wow... I love how this is just

right... left...

- Pesticides! - Exactly.

[The Grasshopper is understandably nervous] It's just pesticide stores all down this street.

- But there's a market ahead! - Huh? A market!

[A market sign appears in the distance!] There's a market.

Hey, let's go to the market.

[Onyang Hot Springs Traditional Market]

[A major culture-and-tourism market with more than 500 shops]

[Open daily, with a five-day market also held on dates ending in 4 and 9]

[Excited] Hyung, inside the market

- how about kalguksu or something? - What about sundae-guk?

Oh, the market is perfect.

- Hyung. - Yeah?

Then should we check out this market?

[Onyang Hot Springs Traditional Market it is] We have to.

Of course we do.

Wow, this trip is so dramatic.

We were literally saying, "No, this isn't it"

and then a market appears.

And especially me my nickname is Grasshopper

[Emergency! Emergency!] so I should not be on pesticide street.

Definitely not.

One little whiff and he's gone.

[And then, what luck? A market right in front] But look, there's a market here.

[Changing lanes, parking spotted near the market] Hold on, parking... there's parking here.

[Narrow entrance] Careful. Looks tight.

You really are a good driver.

Oh, hyung, come on.

Oh! I saw it.

[MBC How Do You Play? EP.326] That car-racing thing you did recently.

[Proved it with a first-place finish] The karts.

[Jae Seok's driving skills] Yeah, the karts.

Wow, there's tons of parking.

- Nice. - Plenty of room.

Yeah, loads of space.

- Se Chan, I'll handle the map. - Got it, hyung.

[Division of labor] You ask around for a good place to eat.

Yes, sir!

I'll find us something.

[Parked]

Let's go.

[Lunch at the market] Let's find a place.

[Off to find lunch at Onyang Hot Springs Traditional Market]

Where was that market we were trying to get into earlier?

- Left! - Left.

Left, left.

If Yu Jae Seok shows up here

this market's gonna go nuts.

Wow... Goryeo Bakery.

[An old-school bakery catches bread fiend Seoksam] If we'd already eaten, a place like that...

They make all this stuff here.

Those old-school breads are the best.

We should come back to Goryeo Bakery later, right?

[They'll come back after lunch] It's got a real vibe.

Wow, it's seriously not hot today.

It's cool out. This is perfect.

Yeah, what a beautiful day.

"The Man Who Bakes Bread"?

- Oh, that smell! - Whoa, what is that smell?

[The smell of fresh bread stops them cold] It's bread.

That smell...

[The rich, toasty smell of bread has all four brothers hypnotized]

That bread smells incredible, hyung.

[Bread radar activated] All handmade loaves, 3,700 won.

- Wow, this market's huge. - Whoa.

[Surprised by how big it is] This place is massive.

- It keeps going over there too. - Onyang Hot Springs Traditional Market.

Oh! Fish-shaped pastries!

[An old-fashioned snack stall pulls them in with its nutty aroma]

[Fish-shaped pastries and peanut cakes good in any season]

[Like sparrows passing a mill... impossible] How are we supposed to walk past this?

Rice-wine bread.

[Amused by the bread-chasing sparrows] Rice-wine bread?

Egg bread.

They've got everything we like.

- We have to try this, right? - Fish-shaped pastries!

How about one each? One fish-shaped pastry each?

Just one each.

[Seoksam hyung has a full eating strategy] We still need room for lunch.

[Eight fish-shaped pastries for 4,000 won] Eight, please.

Custard or red bean?

[+1 red bean] Red bean for me.

[+2 red bean] Me too.

[+3 red bean] I'll take red bean too.

Red bean? Custard?

[+4 red bean]

[+5 red bean] Peanut cake!

[Order] All red bean.

[8 red-bean + 1 peanut cake Total: 7,000 won] Peanut cake?

- One peanut cake too, please. - You want one?

Get it, get it.

I'm sure everything here is good

[Trying to score restaurant intel] but is there a famous place to eat around here?

Owner) Not really.

[NO giving up] Chinese food, soup, anything?

Nothing?

There's a place that does good kalguksu.

Where is it?

[Straight ahead, then right] Go up here, then it's right on the left.

[Restaurant-name hint] Gonchun, maybe? The first place.

The first place? A tea shop?

- First! - First place.

Try it. It's good.

Do they have kongguksu too?

Yeah, they do.

[Kongguksu]

[Fish pastries, peanut cake, and now...] Thank you!

[A kalguksu recommendation] Thanks. One each.

"Not really."

[Her delivery is weirdly addictive]

[Yang-nav] To the right.

[Following the owner's directions] Is this the place she meant?

He said the first one.

There are two kalguksu places!

[A passerby heard the whole conversation] Yes.

That "Country House" place uses seasoning

[Explaining the difference between the two shops] and the place above it is straight anchovy broth.

So between the two which one would you recommend?

I go to the old-school one.

[Different pick from the pastry-shop owner] Country House?

Really old-fashioned kalguksu.

- Thank you. - Thanks so much.

[The pastry-shop owner recommended this one] This is the place she meant.

They've got kongguksu here.

Hyung, should we go to Country House?

Let's do Country House!

[They are persuaded and change destinations] She recommends Country House.

Hello.

[They spot customers leaving Country House Handmade Kalguksu]

- Is this place good? - How is it?

Yeah! It's good. The kongguksu's great.

The kongguksu's good?

The kalguksu too.

Handmade kalguksu!

[Confidence shoots up at "handmade"] Handmade?

Then this is it. This is the place.

[1:30 p.m. Country House Handmade Kalguksu] Still packed, even after lunch rush.

"From noon to 2 p.m. we only take noodle orders."

That's okay, right?

[Wait...] Only kalguksu?

Kongguksu too, right?

[Relief, both are available] Kalguksu and kongguksu, yes.

[Then it's settled] Kongguksu for me. Black-bean kongguksu.

[Jae Seok orders handmade kalguksu] I'll get the handmade kalguksu.

[Sung Min picks kalguksu too] Same for me.

[After some thought] I'll have the kongguksu.

[Order] Let me steal a bite of yours.

[2 handmade kalguksu, 2 black-bean kongguksu] Hyung, you can have some of mine.

[Now collecting Asan sightseeing intel] Is there anything around Asan

we should go see?

- In Asan? - Yeah. We came with zero information.

- Somewhere worth visiting. - Anything you'd recommend.

Sinjeong Lake?

Sinjeong Lake?

Yes, Sinjeong Lake.

[Knows Seok Jin too well] You like cafés, don't you?

Yeah, I love cafés.

[Okay, noted]

Then Sinjeong Lake it is.

[Double-checking] Is it close?

Yeah, it's right nearby.

[To Sinjeong Lake] About 10 minutes by car.

[Sinjeong Lake / Onyang Hot Springs, current location]

[Next destination acquired] Sinjeong Lake. Thank you.

[One more question] And, uh...

Do you know that famous cathedral around here?

Gongseri Cathedral?

[Working out the direction] Is that close to here?

[Opposite direction from Gongseri Cathedral] The other way?

We just came from there.

[One more time] Is it south of here?

[Sharing their destination] We need to get to Iksan.

Is it on the way to Iksan? No?

Doesn't really matter, though.

[About 10 minutes away] It's nearby anyway.

Thank you.

You know what they're probably thinking?

[Imagining their thoughts] "It comes right up on GPS."

'Why do these guys keep asking us?'

[We weren't allowed to use GPS, that's why] "What's wrong with them?"

"Why do they keep asking which way is south?"

Wow, look at that kimchi.

You make this yourselves, right?

[The essential kalguksu side dish mouthwatering fresh kimchi arrives first]

The kimchi here is already a masterpiece.

With kalguksu

- it's all about the kimchi. - The kimchi makes the meal.

You can tell by the kimchi.

Wow. We're already in business.

- Fresh geotjeori. - Wow, hyung.

[A huge bite]

How is it?

[Nom]

So fresh!

Sung Min tries the kimchi too.

- Very fresh. - Proper geotjeori.

[Maknae Se Chan quickly takes a bite too]

This with kalguksu or kongguksu is going to be incredible.

[Agreed] That's good.

Seriously good.

I could get addicted to traveling like this.

[Pouring water] Man, domestic trips are great.

Hyung, this is so good.

National roads have way more charm than I expected.

[Water distributed] I'm really liking the national-road thing.

Thank you, hyung.

[A strangely unfamiliar sight today] Look at him.

- Since when were your hands this quick? - No, and also...

Thanks, man.

[The younger brothers hit the jackpot today] He's even pouring water for us.

I think this is the first time Seok Jin hyung's ever gave me water.

First time for me too.

People have to change.

[A water-toast to a happy trip] I'm happy because I get kongguksu.

National roads are nice.

[It was barley tea] Wow...

Se Chan?

[Pile-on #1] Imagine how nice it'd be if you wore this too.

The white one?

[Pile-on #2] You're ruining the team unity.

[Dad-smile reserved for Se Chan] Okay, I'll change in the car.

No, if you change now

it'll look like we're bullying you into it.

[The restaurant is suddenly packed] This really must be a local favorite.

Most places would sell dumplings or something too.

The place next door had dumplings.

But this place doesn't even have those.

[Nothing but noodles] Just kalguksu.

And kongguksu.

[The more he thinks about it] But that gentleman earlier...

at the fish-pastry stall was hilarious.

"Not really."

[They can't stop imitating him] The way he said "not really" was so funny.

[A very Chungcheong-style sense of humor] People from Chungcheong talk like that.

Kind of like Yang Rak hyung.

[Their food approaches and steals every eye] Here it comes.

That kalguksu looks good.

[Handmade kalguksu in clam broth arrives] That looks amazing.

Oh, it's a clam-based broth.

[While they wait for the kongguksu] I'll just...

[Everyone samples the kalguksu] Go ahead, take some.

- SsaebSsaeb too. - I'll just try a little.

Thank you.

[One sip of broth]

- Try it, try it. - Here, these chopsticks are clean.

It's good.

[They must've been hungrier than they thought] What's it like?

Really clean and mild.

Nothing aggressive. Nice and subtle.

That man outside called it perfectly.

[Old-school, mild handmade kalguksu] Yeah. Mild, anchovy-forward broth.

[Seasoning can be added to taste] They do have seasoning sauce.

I'm adding some chili.

Wow, this really is handmade kalguksu.

[Now a bite with seasoning sauce] You need some sauce in this.

Yeah, the seasoning sauce.

[Umami UP]

I actually like how mild it is.

[Maknae retries Third Brother's kalguksu with seasoning sauce]

- Hyung, you need the sauce. - The sauce?

You have to add it.

[The younger brothers convince the older two] Oh, so it's the sauce.

[You heard them, guys. Add the sauce] Put the seasoning sauce in the kalguksu.

Try it with the sauce.

A little salt works too.

Sprinkle this on and it's perfect.

[Third Brother's textbook kalguksu technique] Hyung, wrap the noodles in kimchi and eat it.

You guys are fearless in Korea, huh?

What do you mean, fearless?

You're even telling us how to eat now.

- You usually ask us! - We're in our own country.

[At ease] How great is it that we can just talk to everyone?

Honestly, compared with Punghyanggo

I like Punghyangjung so much more.

[Anxiety? Stress? Never heard of them] No anxiety, no nerves at all.

[Nothing but calm on Punghyangjung] I like it too.

Even arranging filming at a restaurant is easy.

[Bright! Confident!] Excuse me, we're filming...

[Permission secured in seconds] Sure, come on in.

More than anything lately the exchange rate is just brutal.

[Right then]

[Only 10,000 won!] Kongguksu.

[Kongguksu arrives, no exchange-rate worries here] Have some too, Sung Min.

I'll give you some of mine too.

[Getting ready to share the kongguksu]

[Expectations rise with every lifted noodle] This kongguksu looks serious too.

That looks incredible.

[First, a sip of the soybean broth]

- Salt, salt, salt. - Is it that good?

[Following taste-tester Sung Min's advice] There's the salt. I'll add a little.

[Third Brother samples Maknae's kongguksu] Hyung, you need salt in it.

Mm! I like it as is.

The kongguksu's good, but for me...

- Kalguksu wins. - You like the kalguksu better?

[Slides over]

[Another vote for Team Kalguksu]

Sung Min hyung...

Compare this to how Sung Min hyung ate in Europe.

[Reference: Punghyanggo 2, EP. 1–4]

[Punghyanggo 2 meal philosophy Don't savor it, just get fed]

- Look at that appetite. - His face is practically in the bowl.

[Hyung, who even are you today?] Different from when you ate schnitzel, right?

I had no idea Sung Min hyung had this kind of appetite.

Try this too, Sung Min.

[From Sung Min's bowl] This one's a treat too.

Try it.

[Older-brother affection + Korea buff] Okay.

- That's good. - Right?

[Drinks every last drop of soybean broth]

The kongguksu's good too but these kalguksu noodles!

[Oldest Brother votes kalguksu too] They're kind of addictive.

Unbelievable.

This kalguksu is only 7,000 won!

And you get so much.

[All four are stunned by the value] 7,000 won? That's ridiculous.

The portion is huge too.

So cheap...

[Shock over... Back to slurping]

[Meanwhile, a lone meerkat starts scouting]

Their food still hasn't come out.

[The crew table behind them survives on kimchi] They must be starving.

- Exactly. - Still nothing for them.

They have to keep boiling each batch.

[Scouting the next table]

They're putting sugar in their kongguksu.

[Meerkats assemble] I've never seen Team Sugar before.

- Give me some sugar too. - There's Team Salt and Team Sugar.

Are you from Jeonju? People there eat it like that.

No, I'm from Gyeongsang Province.

Gyeongsang?

Where in Gyeongsang?

Andong.

Andong?

[About an hour from Bonghwa] That's close. He stopped eating mid-bite.

[Freeze] Mr. Minister!

[Double-checking] You said Andong?

I thought I was watching a morning drama.

[Regional ties right after family ties?] They shook hands.

Andong-ikka?

[~nikka?] Is that the dialect?

[The speech ending most associated with Andong]

[Did you open it-nikka?] When we went there last time

[On the Country Vacation series] great-aunt talked exactly like that.

[Native pronunciation confirmed] Right. "Did you do it-nikka?"

Blown away by the wind

[Answer: "At Andong Station", Jin Sung] "At Andong Station."

Didn't you say you hate singing, hyung?

[The fake life flashes before him Singing Sung Min just smiles]

This hyung...

[Travel is a journey of self-discovery] He's just in a good mood.

[And happiness is completed by a full stomach] People need food in them, that's all.

[Slurp, slurp]

[Topping off the happiness meter]

- So good, right? - Yeah.

Now I get why that gentleman outside

recommended this place.

- It's addictive. - I'm sure the other place is good too!

[Hooked on the chewy texture] These noodles are so chewy.

So chewy and so good.

I'm ridiculously happy right now.

From now on, we ask locals where to eat.

[Only possible because this is a domestic trip] We can only do this because we're in Korea.

If we were overseas, we'd just...

[Keep going...]

I think kalguksu wins.

- Kalguksu. - Right?

[Kalguksu wins by a landslide] Kalguksu wins.

Hyung.

[An empty bowl] This place is all about the kalguksu.

- You finished the whole thing. - Even the broth.

If we can just find cheap gas today!

[It's barely lunchtime but today's happiness quota is already full?]

- Day one is complete. - Seriously.

[The crew finally gets to eat]

You need a little seasoning sauce in the kalguksu.

[The fed meerkats] Put some of that sauce in

[resume operations] just a little. Don't overdo it.

It's not spicy, even with the peppers.

Put your bag down and eat.

- This is comfortable. - Oh, really?

Ha ha ha.

Bonghwa's big uncle is here!

[Bonghwa Big Uncle can't stop worrying about them]

Big uncle here little uncle there!

[The whole family is together again] Big uncle.

Uncles, aunts' husbands, whatever.

[The inevitable family-gathering question] You always ask, "Are you married yet?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?" You know.

These days, when I ask young staff how old their parents are

- a lot of their parents are younger than me. - Of course, hyung.

So I always tell them

"I'm your big uncle."

- It's even more common in variety shows. - Really?

[Rustling around] Especially with idols and all.

Hyung, I'm just going to check a message that came in.

[NO apps, YES messages] A message?

Go ahead, check it.

Ah...

I paid a lot of taxes today...

[Only three hours earlier]

As you should.

Yeah, I should. And I have another payment in August!

I've never seen anything like it.

I didn't know a man going to pay taxes could walk that fast.

[A once-in-a-lifetime tax-payment speedrun] He was flying.

You should pay quickly.

- That's how taxes should be paid. - It was so funny.

Joyfully!

[A light step and a happy heart] You looked so cheerful.

- I did, right? - Yeah. Way too cheerful.

I went yesterday, so...

I already knew it wouldn't be quick.

Our shoots kept ending so late...

[Thankfully, handled today] That you never had a window?

So late to get to the bank.

Man, this is so good.

Those pickled peppers...

I guess this used to be 6,000 won.

- Ma'am, how much was the kalguksu before? - Those pickles are good.

- You drink the soybean broth like this. - Ma'am, this place is seriously delicious.

[Classic split-channel conversation The Punghyang Four support free-form talk]

We're about to go over to, uh... you know...

Sinjeong Lake?

- How did you know that? - Sinjeong Lake.

They said there are nice cafés there so we're going to check it out.

We'll go soothe his soul by the lake

with something sweet.

The car is already overflowing with snacks.

Those are for tonight.

[This trip is long and it's only 2 p.m.]

Sunset's around 8 these days, so...

[If they play around a little before Iksan...]

We have plenty of time. We'll get there before dark.

- I think we'll arrive before six. - Then we're fine.

[What time will they actually reach Iksan?] It's still light after seven these days.

[129,000 won for everyone, including the crew] I'm so full.

- Thank you. - That was great.

This place is good.

[First stop: Sinjeong Lake] Thank you, that was delicious!

Take care.

But hyung

[Touring Onyang Hot Springs Traditional Market] This is so nice. I love it.

How is 7,000-won kalguksu allowed to taste that good?

I'm happy.

Hyung, all of us ate

[Even with the crew: only 129,000 won!] and it was only 129,000 won total.

[Lunch wins on value too] For this many people!

That's what's great about Punghyangjung the food satisfaction

is insanely high.

[Latin music starts playing from somewhere] You know what I think, hyung? We...

[Feeling good] What is this, dance music?

[Completely lost in it] Just makes me dance!

[Joining in] It's because we're in Korea.

Overseas? Never. You know that.

[Slides in] But then...

Latin music starts playing right here.

How can you not love this, hyung?

[An encore performance just for hyung]

Even dancing embarrasses you, Sung Min?

Huh?

Hyung! This is a man who sings alone.

[Most people still wouldn't dance in the street] What's there to be embarrassed about?

"At Andong Station."

[Oops] Right, we need to

get to Sinjeong Lake.

That Goryeo Bakery... That still looks good.

- Should we buy just a little? Taste a few things? - At least take a look?

[(NEW) Bakery → Sinjeong Lake → Iksan] Just a quick stop.

[Iksan delayed again] I mean, we have to spend money.

[Marching in for the local economy] We should support this place too.

I love these!

[Seok Jin spots his favorite chestnut cookies] Buy them. You know what these are?

- What? - Sixty-two years of tradition!

I love these.

[A whole shop full of nostalgic breads] Sixty-two years?

We have to get the chestnut cookies.

You don't see stuff like this anymore.

- What's that? - What is this?

[Old-school cookies with a mild, nutty flavor] Peanut cookies. They've been making them 62 years.

- We have to buy these. - These are seriously old-school.

That giant mocha bread is only 5,000 won?

[Wallet comes out immediately]

You're that TV guy... what's your name? Yu Jae Seok, right?

Yes, Yu Jae Seok.

[The owner recognizes him a little late while busy selling bread]

- I watch you on TV. And him too. - This is Jee Seok Jin.

Jee Seok Jin! Right! I know that face.

[Booming laugh] And this is Yang Se Chan.

[Bread shopping begins in earnest] That looks so good too.

My husband makes everything himself.

We have to let this cool before we bag it.

[Casually flexing the fresh-baked bread(?)] It's still cooling.

- You just made this? - Yep.

How much is it?

[Only] 1,000 won.

- 1,000 won? - Yep.

[Instant purchase] We'll take it. Try this.

[Treasurer Kkang enters] Wait, hyung. What did you say you wanted?

Hyung, the chestnut cookies.

[Chestnut cookies, streusel buns... Treasurer Kkang fights for his life]

One... two...

This one has history.

Wow, that's an old-school mammoth bread...

It's 5,000 won and it's this big!

Only 5,000 won?

[A mammoth bread worthy of the name!]

- My husband! - Five thousand?

He's always generous like this.

That could feed the four of us for breakfast.

Seriously...

You can't be stingy in business.

You have to sell with a generous heart! Ha ha!

[Plop]

Wait, who's buying that?

No, I'm just putting it here so we can pack it up.

- But it's warm. We have to buy it. - We're not buying...

[Temperature check] We have to?

[Treasurer approves] We have to.

[Too warm to resist?] Yeah, we should get it. We can all share it.

Okay, ma'am, so this is...

[Reading price stickers] 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000 won...

[Treasurer Kkang totals it by hand] 9,000... 10,000... 11,000 won.

- That's only 11,000 won? - Eleven thousand for all this.

[Reviving the local economy (X) Tickling it (O)] All of this is 11,000 won?

[Flustered] I want to spend more, but it's only 11,000...

Spend 20,000 won on bread here and you're throwing a neighborhood festival.

Exactly! The whole neighborhood could eat.

If you want anything else, say the word.

Oh! Let's buy some for the crew in the other cars too.

[Bread party today!] Peanut cookies.

[Another bread basket appears] These are good. Get the peanut cookies too.

Put some of these in.

[One-hand-sized fresh doughnuts] Easy for the crew to eat.

These are good.

[Sneaky upsell: the owner brings red-bean buns] Red-bean buns.

We need red-bean buns too.

[Sale made] Then... one red-bean bun too.

What's the total now?

[Calculating again] Eleven thousand...

20,000 won.

[In unison] We bought all this and it's only 20,000 won...

I told you, that's a whole neighborhood feast.

[Bread capacity reached They stop at 20,000 won] Seriously.

You really could throw a feast, right?

Could we get one bag? We'll pack this up.

Wow, this is that old...

[Even the bread bag has that old-school feel] Classic bakery plastic bag.

A real old confectionery bag.

[But then...]

- What's that? - Chestnut loaf.

[Fresh bread added to the lineup!]

[Fresh chestnut loaf: only 6,000 won] How much is that? Six thousand?

You keep making me want to buy more...

That one's packed with filling too.

That thing is killing me...

[One more fresh loaf] How are we supposed to leave that behind?

[Still piping hot] It just came out, so it's still warm.

That looks amazing.

- We have to take it. - Yes, one of those too, please.

[One more item after all] We'll give that one to the crew.

She's very good at marketing.

[This is all the owner's marketing fault?] She's a marketing genius.

Every time we think we're done she just slides out

And there it is, one more thing!

We can't not buy it.

Do you even make money selling this much for these prices?

I'm almost 80. What am I gonna do, sit around? I just work.

"What am I gonna do, sit around?"

And now she's promoting your show too. Hangout with Yoo?

Hangout with Yoo!

Why just hang around? Why sit around?

Ha ha ha ha!

But this still hasn't cooled...

- Leave the bag open. - Okay.

If you seal it, steam turns to water.

[Bread should cool completely before packaging] You have to let it cool first.

[Payment for the fresh bread complete] Did you pay the 5,000?

- Paid for everything. - You did?

[Booming] Come here! Let's take a picture before you go.

[Getting ready for a commemorative photo] Yes, let's take one.

- Better leave this open. - She said leave it open.

Here?

Wait. I need a shot of me putting the bread in the bag.

Okay!

She picked up another loaf.

A bread seller has to be shown packing bread!

[Bread-marketing that commands respect] Her marketing is seriously

next-level.

One, two, three.

Huh?

[Directing the 'packing bread' shot]

[Instant respect after the photo] Ma'am, the way you handle the bread...

You're impressive. Seriously.

[Everyone has something to say (5/5)] That kind of professional pride.

You even direct the shot yourself.

I'll give you one service freebie!

No, no, we already have way too much.

Just listen to one song of mine before you go!

You want us to listen to you sing?

You released a song?

Ma'am, we really have to get to Sinjeong Lake.

Hold on. Just one song!

[They're trapped by a brand-new kind of "service"] We really do need to get to the lake...

[She finds it immediately] I go to singing class on Wednesdays

and someone filmed me from the side. We do this every week.

[Joo Hyun Mi, "It Was So Good" Listening mode ON]

That love!

She's good!

- Great bends in the notes. - She's really good!

- Ha ha ha! - You could release an album.

[Ref: JTBC Cheonhajangsa, aired Aug. 7, 2016] [The owner actually appeared in a segment]

[where traditional-market merchants competed with their life songs]

[and won first place and a 100,000-won gift card]

You won first place?

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? You sing with so much power.

Seventy-eight.

I'll be 80 before long. My husband's 77.

[Age, experience, presence... No wonder she had star power]

You seem incredibly healthy.

You can tell from the very first note.

Love!

[They burst out laughing at the soulful phrasing] Was it love!

[Thank you, and please stay healthy!] Thank you, ma'am. Stay healthy.

- Thank you. - Take care.

How many different things does she do?

[Still humming as they walk to the parking lot] Love!

She can really sing.

[Feels like something enormous just happened...] Seriously, how many kinds of bread did we get?

Her marketing...

She's practically a pro. A total pro.

Hyung, when did that end up in your hands?

[Quietly volunteers as the bread-cooling guy] She said it has to cool.

If you seal it up, moisture builds and the bread...

- But seriously... - She wasn't embarrassed at all.

She came over here to take a picture

and I was thinking, "Why is she carrying bread?"

[Killing point #1: Self-directed staging] She wanted the shot of herself bagging it.

She had to direct the scene herself.

We said we had to go and she kept saying, "Hear my song!"

[Killing point #3: Endless bread marketing] "Now look at this bread. What this is..."

[A sufficiently advanced bread seller is] She's so funny.

[indistinguishable from an all-round entertainer] That was incredible.

Love!

We should give some bread to them too.

[Pre-departure check #1] Bread, bread.

[Snacks for the crew riding in other cars] You guys want some bread, right?

Should we give that car some too?

There's already so much food in the car...

[Even after sharing it out] The car's

[overflowing with snacks] about to explode.

Thank you.

Enjoy.

[Next stop: Sinjeong Lake] Sinjeong Lake.

[Pre-departure check #2 MAP Sung Min update]

[Current location] From Onyangoncheon Station here...

[The Asan page is already folded open]

Oh, there's Sinjeong Lake!

This isn't too hard.

[Route set]

Everybody in?

[Final check #3: head count and safety] Seat belts, please.

Buckle up.

[Off to Sinjeong Lake in high spirits] To Sinjeong Lake.

We didn't even know Sinjeong Lake existed

until we got here today, but...

[Everyone they meet] They keep saying it's great

[If everyone recommends it, they have to go] so we can't come to Asan and skip Sinjeong Lake.

- Literally everyone recommended it. - Exactly.

We're not getting lost as much as I expected.

- He keeps calling every turn perfectly. - Because we have MAP Sung Min.

[Team equipped with MAP Sung Min] He's basically our expedition leader.

- Still, we made it all the way here. - Right. All the way to Asan.

It's kind of amazing.

Wait, what's this?

[No cash, card only] We have to pay, right?

[Treasurer panics for a second with only cash] Five hundred... no, it'll be more than 500.

I can use Samsung Pay for this.

How much is it?

Kiosk) Goodbye.

- What happened? - What happened?

- Maybe weekdays are free. - I think so! Hyung, earlier...

it said free.

[Weekdays, 11:30 a.m.~1:00 p.m. Perfect timing] Oh, weekdays are free.

Wow... nice!

[An unexpected little win as they leave] Another lucky break.

My gut says... we need to go back.

[Human GPS engaged] We need to head that way.

This is Simin-ro Intersection, right?

- And Sinjeong Lake is back here, so yes. - Really?

[MAP Sung Min route algorithm identify current position from signs]

[Simin-ro Intersection]

[Simin-ro Intersection / Market parking lot Sinjeong Lake]

[then analyze the route they just traveled]

- Got it. U-turn. - Watching him use the MAP is wild...

Or we can turn left here.

Left?

[Choose your route MAP Sung Min even offers alternatives]

Left works too.

- Then I'll turn left. - Let's trust him!

[No idea when a U-turn lane will appear] Toward the community center.

[They trust MAP Sung Min and turn left] Left turn.

[Route preview: turn left now] Then keep going straight

turn right at the T-junction

then left at the next intersection.

[Left turn, exactly as MAP Sung Min instructed]

- Wait, Sinjeong... - Keep going straight.

[Continue straight until the next instruction] Sinjeong Lake is straight ahead?

Keep going.

Wow... How does he read that thing so well?

Seriously.

[Punghyangjung without MAP Sung Min, unimaginable] This trip without Sung Min hyung...

- You can't do it without the MAP? - Impossible.

The rest of us can't read that map.

This is honestly ridiculous.

What is?

We showed up this morning with no idea where we were even going

and now we're driving around with no GPS, just a paper map...

- We made it to Asan. - And we're getting everywhere.

- Ate kalguksu. - Saw a cathedral on the way.

[This is actually working... somehow]

None of this was planned.

[Still going straight on MAP Sung Min's route]

[Anxious] Hyung, this is really Sinjeong Lake, right?

Just keep going. Trust me.

[No rebuttal supported]

It's like he's the only one who secretly has GPS open.

There aren't even any signs right now.

[Straight ahead with zero signs]

But your voice is so confident that none of us even waver.

- You have to trust that voice. - Of course.

[Maintain current route] If the Minister said something like

"I... think this is right?" Something like that...

[One hint of doubt and they'd pounce immediately] we'd be all over him.

"Wait, shouldn't we ask someone?" That's what we'd start saying.

[Unshakable comfort] Just keep going.

I'll keep checking as we go.

Turn right up there.

[Pure confidence in his voice]

Listen to that tone.

Absolute certainty!

Oh? Maybe a sign's finally coming up.

Hyung, how are you so good at maps?

Turn right, then at the next intersection turn left and keep going.

[Wondering if he's right? The answer is coming] He's basically GPS.

- Right turn here. - Let me see.

[Preparing to turn right] Dogo Hot Springs.

[Not what they need, for now] Wow, Dogo Hot Springs. Been a while.

At the next intersection...

Onyang Hot Springs, Dogo Hot Springs... Haven't heard those names in ages.

There it is, right? Sinjeong Lake Garden.

[It really appears!] Sinjeong Lake Garden!

Mr. Minister, you're genuinely amazing.

Forget Education you're Minister of Transportation.

[Shy] It's right there on the map.

["I studied mainly from the road atlas", Sung Min] You really could travel without GPS.

- Wow, hyung. How do you even... - Left here?

No, isn't it left up ahead?

- The next one. - Next one, right?

Wow...

This is... kind of shocking.

Who are you shocking?

Me.

You're not impressed?

Am I not allowed to impress myself?

He said that while picking sleep out of his eye.

If you're saying you personally are impressed I can't really argue with that.

I'm the one who's impressed!

I never said all of us were impressed.

[Last left turn before guidance ends] If it's just you, then fine.

Exactly. I surprised myself.

[Road markings match] Sinjeong Lake is actually appearing...

[Who needs GPS when you have MAP Sung Min?] that's what's amazing.

Today feels like...

Even coming to Asan

wasn't something we planned at all.

- Asan is so nice. - Right?

But hyung, somehow it feels like we came here knowing exactly what to do.

Because he knows every road.

[Reassuring]

[Scenery appreciation time] Asan is beautiful. A lake and everything.

So peaceful.

[Clear route, calm minds, time to enjoy the view]

Love!

That song again?

[The bakery owner left quite an impression] That owner...

her eyes were smiling the whole time.

Yeah, she has such a naturally cheerful face.

I was shocked when she told us her age.

She seemed so healthy.

[That soulful melody won't leave their heads] Love!

And her voice was booming.

Oh, here it is! Here it is.

[You have arrived at your destination] They have seafood kalguksu here too.

[Entering Sinjeong Lake café street] There are tons of places here.

[Excitement +1] So many cafés.

[Excitement +1] Let's find one with a great view.

- There's even a steak place. - So this is why everyone sent us here.

Whoa! Why are there so many cars?

[An afternoon traffic jam proves it's a hot spot] In the middle of a weekday!

This must be a date spot.

[Their first real hot spot of the trip] There's a braised pollock place too.

[Meerkat eyes everywhere] That place has a good view too.

It's practically floating up there.

There's another huge café.

[Coffee with a side of...] They've got the lake wrapped around them

[Sinjeong Lake scenery, instant healing] so of course all these cafés are view spots.

We're going to a café, right?

Of course!

[No info, so first they circle the lake] We could park around here

but let's go a little farther.

Oh! Wow... pretty.

[Sinjeong Lake, Asan's place to unwind] So this is Sinjeong Lake.

[Walking trails make the most of the scenery] This would be great for running.

Right along the lake.

There's something up that way too.

Okryeonam! I feel like I've heard of that.

That's a really common temple name, though.

[MAP Sung Min cannot let a name pass unexamined] Seonnyeoam, Okryeonam...

Huh? What's up there?

[A giant café appears] There's a café.

- Should we try this one? - Want to?

[Reconnaissance begins] That place is enormous.

So many cars.

This must be the hot place.

[Checkpoint: probably a newly opened hot spot] Looks like a new popular café.

You can see the whole lake from the left, right?

Must have a great view.

[Checkpoint obvious lake-view winner]

Let's take a look...

Oh, but all the good seats...

[Checkpoint: window seats already packed] Everyone's already settled in with coffee.

There are so many cars here.

[Checkpoint] This place is doing very well.

[The parking lot suggests a packed interior] The entire neighborhood is in there.

How do we even go in there? Should we find somewhere else?

Wouldn't a smaller, quieter place be better?

Yeah, this one's a little too corporate.

[Backing out because it feels like too much] This is a little overwhelming for us.

They're already doing so well here.

- They don't really need us. - Exactly.

[Strategic retreat for the local economy] Let's find somewhere quieter.

For the sake of the local economy.

But still...

This place is gorgeous.

[The lake view makes them slow down]

[Reeds] Should we stop here? What do you think?

Let's just look at the view as we go by. Nice and slow.

This is nice.

[Roooll... slooowly... onward...] There's nowhere to park.

But it really is beautiful here.

[Driving away with obvious regret] This place is nice.

I think that was the best café.

- Let's still go somewhere else. - Sure.

Like you said earlier

that place is doing just fine without us.

What if we buy coffee down there and drink it at a pavilion?

What pavilion?

- I saw a quiet one down there. - Really?

[Coffee bought at Yi Sun Sin Rest Area] We already have coffee in the car, remember?

- Let's just take a little walk. - Sounds good.

There are pavilions there too.

This spot's nice.

This is the pavilion I meant.

Can we really just sit somewhere like that?

[Couldn't we just go to a café instead?] Sure. We have Stanleys and everything.

- We can drink it from the Stanley. - That's what tumblers are for.

But... there's nowhere to park.

Oh? There's a parking lot.

There'll be more spots like this. Keep going.

[Let's keep looking] We'll find another one.

[Unlike the café, the lot is completely empty] This is perfect. Look at this parking lot.

[Park here? Let's park here!] Should we just stop?

I'll park here.

- This is good, right? - You really want the pavilion?

- Pavilions are great! - Excuse me!

Didn't we say we were going to support the local economy?

- Spend some money! - No, but...

No, but...

[Reverse parking mode engaged] Spending money is great, but look.

7,000-won kalguksu... 20,000 won of bread...

Hyung, we have to eat this first!

[About 80,000 won of convenience-store snacks...] This already supported the local economy.

We need to eat the bread now.

Then let's take the coffee and bread we bought

- over to the pavilion! - Yeah, yeah.

[Eating it counts as supporting the economy?] First, let's actually eat what we bought.

We should eat some of it.

And parking here is free.

Free, plus...

Didn't we say we'd support the local economy?

[Frugal and thrifty] This trip is...

really fun

but it's kind of exhausting! We never stop moving.

We don't rest at all.

At least we sit in the car for a bit.

[Got out carrying bags that look ready to burst] What even is all this?

Our trips really are a little brutal.

They are.

[Lake-view snack time]

[Step... step... exhausted Bulbasaurs...] This is ridiculous.

But, uh... I have a question.

We left that gorgeous café behind...

[Hand up] I have a question. May I ask it?

- It's cool in the shade today. - When exactly are we saving the local economy?

- I'm genuinely curious. - Seok Jin hyung!

This is all part of the local economy.

Seoksam hyung's point is basically this.

[A "big corp" comment sets off a butterfly effect] If a place is already too crowded

we might make things harder...

- Harder for the other customers. - Exactly.

Oh! See? It's cool in the shade.

[Bench spotted on the way to the pavilion] This is nice.

There's another one here too.

Here, here, here. Let's sit here.

Oh... someone's already there.

[The meerkats lose by one step] Someone beat us to it.

Should we just sit on this bench for now?

This is good.

But you can barely see the lake from here.

Ha ha ha ha...

[NO lake, ONLY trees] Hyung, the lake...

We came for the view.

Should we go over there?

No, but this spot...

is really blocked.

[A wall of trees for a view] Now we know why nobody's sitting here.

Want to move?

[Off to find another prime spot] That pavilion was empty when we came down.

Those people must've gotten there after us.

Oh, I see.

That spot has a great view, though.

Yeah, it's totally open over there.

[View envy...] Completely unobstructed.

[Another bench appears] There's a bench over there too.

There's one here as well.

[Marching over]

- Okay, then... - This is good, hyung.

This one's blocked too, though!

[Dense] The view is pretty...

narrow-minded.

[Better than before: half trees, half lake] Hyung, at least one side opens up.

No, look. This is the view we get.

[Still pacing instead of sitting] Sit down, sir. Come on, sit.

Ah, wait, earlier...

We should've bought a picnic mat at the store.

That actually would've been a good idea.

But why does that place over there...

[The meerkats stare wistfully] look like heaven?

[That café from earlier] I feel like they're watching us.

[Choosing raw outdoor seating over the café] They have no idea who we are.

[They finally sit] Sit down.

I actually like it here. I feel relaxed.

Yeah... and, uh...

Right... you know...

[Clink... silence...]

- Want some bread? - My heart is not relaxed.

Want dessert bread?

Hyung, but seriously...

we can't even have a conversation like this.

[Conversation blocked too] Hyung, we literally can't talk.

[Lake view blocked too] We're all staring straight ahead.

[Zero of their desired features achieved] This isn't a conversation setup.

We're sitting way too close together.

Your skin...

is so sticky.

It's hot!

[Hotter and more humid than it looks] It's hot and we're glued together.

[Sticky skin, sticky friendship] Your arm is seriously sticky.

[They decide to just eat] I've been sweating.

- Should we eat some bread? - Anyone want coffee?

- Yes, right here. - Ha ha...

[Whatever his hand finds gets tossed over]

[Don't forget: there is bread] The local economy...

When exactly are we supporting it again?

[Starting with the warmest red-bean bread] Try this one.

[The snacks get taken back] This.

We do need to support the local economy.

[Jae Seok and Seok Jin immediately approve] This is good.

The red bean is great.

Thank you.

- Yeah, the red bean is really good. - It is.

And the bread itself is nice and chewy.

[Still warm, somehow] It's warm too.

Delicious.

[Have some more]

[Even warmer in the middle]

This is seriously good.

- Wow, this is no joke. - So good.

[Slides it over] Thick, right?

Yeah, yeah.

[Pigeon POV] Try it. It's incredible.

Unbelievable.

This is genuinely so good.

[Rustling around] Seriously delicious.

[Now to the other side] The red bean...

- Hyung... - The taste, taste... Huh?

Can you tear me off a proper piece?

[A wandering pigeon] It won't tear cleanly.

Here, hyung.

That's the best part, the center.

- I don't even know what... - Just tell him to come tear it himself.

- Come here and tear some off. - Fine.

[Waiting] Here.

Thank you.

I was trying to eat some too...

[Same conclusion, opposite process "Take a piece" ↔ "Come take a piece"]

Don't take the whole thing.

[Nom]

Mmm!

[Immediate reaction] That's really good.

[5,000 won of pure happiness] This is only 5,000 won and it's incredible.

- Number one. This is number one! - This is seriously good.

The 5,000-won one with red bean inside.

If we'd gone to that café we wouldn't be eating this, right?

[Obviously] Of course not.

- We'd be eating their desserts. - Exactly. This worked out.

This is what you do on a trip like this.

And I'm telling you, this place is great.

[Stumbling] It's just... this...

the breeze over the lake...

[Ignored] Hyung.

Hyung, from the left side you can't even see the lake.

- What kind of view is this? - You can see it over there...

[Attempt #2] The lake smells amazing.

Ha ha ha ha...

Man...

I admire how hard you're trying to find the positives...

But, hyung, the best you can come up with is

[Did I hear that right?] "The lake smells amazing"?

No, I mean...

- In this situation, your... - What else does this place have?

I get the positive mindset.

[Tears] I get that you're trying to find a bright side!

But "the lake smells good"... I can't defend that.

[Committed nonsense] The lake smells amazing.

Uh... sorry, but that thing over there...

What?

I ate something sweet so now I'm craving something salty.

Can I have one of those chicken-leg snacks?

[Round two begins with salty snacks]

Let's have one chicken-leg snack.

[Sweet-and-salty is a classic, but...] Hyung, after eating something sweet...

Sitting here on this bench...

with a bunch of men over sixty...

[And now they're lining up to eat anyway] After swearing we'd support the local economy...

Try one. You'll change your mind.

Wow!

This with that lake smell? Unbelievable.

It pairs beautifully with the lake smell.

This is great.

Like I always say, happiness isn't complicated.

Exactly.

- Being at peace is happiness. - And being with good people.

Right. Even an experience like this is rare.

Hyung.

Who else gets to do this?

Try this with your family and they'll tear you apart.

Of course they would! They'd tell you to go to the café.

[Accidentally turns into self-roasting] It'd be chaos.

Total chaos if you did this with family.

- This only works with friends. - Exactly. That's why it's so great!

We...

Where were we originally going again?

[So enchanted by Asan they forgot Iksan] Iksan. How far is Iksan from here?

- No idea... - We're probably halfway there by now.

It should be smooth from here.

[So for now, enjoy the moment] Yeah.

[Rattle, rattle] Man, today is so nice.

I have one of those at home too...

[Click]

Hey, Se Chan.

Take a picture of us!

[Scenery-first vs. people-first photography] Why are you taking that?

Because from where I'm sitting this looks beautiful.

[If you'd prefer I'll happily take your picture instead]

[With the corporate-café view behind them] I'll frame you with the café view.

One, two...

three!

[Click] Okay.

- You come here too. I'll take yours. - Yes, hyung.

Can we take one together somehow?

[No screen view, so selfies are difficult] Hyung, this camera can't really do selfies.

- It can't? - You have to shoot looking forward.

[Se Chan's hand / Jae Seok's hand] It's hard even when you can see the screen.

Nice.

This is so funny.

Seriously hilarious.

- This is fun. - That's life, I guess.

[Not one thing has gone according to plan] Nothing ever goes the way we planned.

[And that's why the laughing feels so good] Laughing over tiny things is the best part.

Exactly.

It's all tiny stuff too. Nothing huge ever happens.

All right! Time to move!

- Again? - We have to get to Iksan.

[Move x3] Iksan.

We are going to Iksan!

[Rustle, rustle] Ha ha ha...

[The bread and snack bags come too] Our bag men.

[When are they getting to Iksan?] Wow, a lot of time has passed.

By the wiiind!

[Second Brother starts singing again] Blown away!

That's a pretty car color.

[Once heard, everyone must join] By the wind...

- Was it loooove? - Blown awaaay!

Get iiiin!

[Trot fever]

[Maybe too much coffee] I think I drank too much coffee. I need to pee.

I didn't even have coffee.

There has to be a restroom nearby, right?

I'll go before we head to Iksan.

[Restroom stop before departure] There should be one around here.

I saw one earlier.

[Human GPS points the way] We can head out this way and just loop around.

By the wiiind!

Now I suddenly really want to hear "At Andong Station."

Blown awaaay!

["At Andong Station"] Was it an empty promise?

On the day the first snow falls at Andong Station

The person who promised to meet me

There's a restroom here, right?

[But nowhere to park] We'll have to loop around and come back.

[He keeps singing alone] Or we can just find one farther down.

Oh, there's an even better spot here! A pavilion.

[He wants to keep singing but doesn't know the lyrics]

[Ready]

The one who never came

[+ Chorus joins] My love

[Scouting the route while enjoying the song] My waiting heart

- Oh, this spot has a great view! - How do you know every word?

[Yoo San Seul / alter ego] Seriously, how do you know all the lyrics?

[Trot teacher: Jin Sung] Hyung, I...

[Debut stage: "At Andong Station" with Jin Sung] once debuted as a trot singer.

[Signature song: "Hapjeong Station Exit 5"] Yoo San Seul.

[Parking Lot 2] [This time: parking, but no restroom]

If we want a restroom...

Oh... more cafés here too.

This side is pretty too.

Another nice café...

Hyung, even this bridge is beautiful.

[The meerkats get distracted again] Look at all those lotus leaves.

We came all the way to Sinjeong Lake

and we're fine with what we saw but for the viewers...

all they got was

that tiny glimpse between the benches.

[Awkward... their entire lake view was a peek] A little peek of lake.

That peek was literally all of it.

That's kind of insulting.

- Oh, the view's better here! - Much better, hyung!

We should walk across that bridge.

Want to?

Let's do it!

[Iksan delayed yet again] Should we take a photo over there, hyung?

[They get out to see the bridge too] Let's take one there.

[Great view] This side really is better.

[Still need the restroom] And we need the restroom anyway.

[Good for a walk] Nice place to walk too.

[No reason not to get out] Right?

[Singing Seok Jin ON] By the wiiind

Scattered away

Hyung, you can't sing it that halfheartedly.

[Break it up] By the wiiind

[Light / push] Blown awaaay

[Yoo San Seul demonstrates deep emotion] Was it an empty promise?

Put a little more feeling into it, hyung.

- By the wiii-i-i-ind! - No, no.

[Ha ha ha, Singing Seok Jin malfunction]

[Try again] By the wind

[Imitating him] Yah!

Bloooown awaaaay

No, no, no.

- You're bending it outward. - Then how do I do it?

By the wiiind

Blown awaaay

An empty... empty...

[Jae Seok and Seok Jin are dead serious] Promise

- Waaas it... - Ha ha ha...

This feels like traveling with my dad.

[A high-spirited dad and his dad friends] By the wiiind

- Dad gets excited and starts singing. - Blown awaaay...

But

do you realize Sung Min hyung keeps singing along too?

- Sung Min, you said you don't sing! - Why does he keep doing this?

Let's hear a Sung Min solo!

By the wiiind

[Putting his Yoo San Seul lesson to work]

Blown aw...

[Assist] Away

[Yoo San Seul guide vocal] An em-pty prooo-mise, was it?

Oh, you're good!

- The first snooow? - Snooow!

- On the day it falls! - The day it faaalls!

[The singing style suddenly turns sneaky] In front of Andong Station...

Why does "Andong Station" sound so shady?

[Reminder: they are STILL circling Sinjeong Lake] It brings out this sneaky voice.

Jin Sung hyung taught me that himself.

But Andong... wait, who was it again?

[Jo Eun Jin / Main PD Hometown: Andong]

[The true source of this entire situation] Eun Jin is from Andong, right?

That's when all this "Andong Station" stuff started.

[Passing the blame] Right, right.

[They finally U-turn back to Parking Lot 2] Here, right?

- Park here. - Lot 2.

The cars behind us...

Da Yoon PD and the rest of the crew following us...

must think we're unbelievably indecisive.

If I were them, I'd be cursing us out.

[Example] "Why aren't they going to Iksan?"

[Guilty meerkat imagination] "Didn't they say they were going to Iksan?"

"Why aren't they going?"

Five minutes ago it was, "Off to Iksan!"

[Then they park again] and now...

[Seriously, when will they reach Iksan?] When are we getting to Iksan?

[Next story]

[Production support: Whiff] Shaved ice sounds good.

[SUBWAY] They cook the Korean red beans themselves.

[STANLEY] We really do have to get to Iksan now, or...

At this rate...

We might just stay in Asan!

[Different bench from before] No, this spot actually...

[Three hours spent in Asan] There's a reason they put it here.

[We have to get to Iksan!] Hyung, we don't have GPS.

[No GPS, but the road goes on] What can we do? We just keep going.

Try a road, and if it's wrong, turn around.

Whoa, what's that?

- They're blasting rock! - No way.

[They expected a hard trip, but not this] It's a construction site.

It says blasting in progress.

If we're going straight to Iksan now we should probably just take the shortest road.

If we're really going straight there

we could just take the expressway.

- Let's just go to Iksan. - Hyung, you're not getting annoyed, are you?

No, I'm not.

[This is not Iksan] Seriously...

This trip is insanely spontaneous.

Order one bowl of milmyeon and they give you a piece of tteokgalbi.

[Still not Iksan] Cold milmyeon would be nice right now.

[They are, technically, still heading to Iksan... The sun sinks lower over the road]

Wow, it's so wide open.

[Huuuge yawn]

Get some sleep.

Hyung, you did a lot of composing today.

The kind only geniuses can do!

[Crisis? Exhausted by excessive creativity] All that creative work has made my head heavy.

- Once the sun starts going down... - Exactly.

I'm getting sleepy

Even on the way to Iksan

Today's songs are just...

If I'm the only one who falls asleep

Won't the viewers

Give me hell?

[Will Singing Seok Jin and the younger brothers] Everyone else is awake and you're sleeping?

[ever get to sleep in Iksan?] But I'm sleeping anyway.

[Punghyangjung / Journey along the national roads] I'm so sleepy.

[Produced by Antenna Plus] "I'm sleeping anyway... I'm sleeping."

[DdeunDdeun] I've been sleepy ever since lunch!
