Broadcaster Kim Jun-ho expressed his wish, "I hope to have one more family member after July 13," and received support from the 'Dokkabz' team.
In the first episode of ‘Nidon Naesan Dokkab Tour 4’ (co-produced by Channel S and SK Broadband) aired on the 31st, Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-kyu were depicted traveling to Taiwan, the "land of gourmet," to revisit their original intentions for Season 4. Especially, to help Kim Jun-ho, who lost his appetite due to dieting ahead of his wedding in July, they prepared a customized course with health foods, and while wishing for the longevity of ‘Dokkab Tour’ and everyone's happiness, they released sky lanterns, deepening their friendship and chemistry, which captivated the viewers.
On that day, the ‘Dokkabz’ gathered at a pub in Seoul ahead of Season 4. Before heading to the pub for promotion, they were moved to find out, "We didn't know our fans were so many," after performing a congratulatory stage at Yoo Se-yoon's UV concert. They then firmly vowed, "In Season 4, we have to work harder and not refuse anything." Shortly after, Kim Dae-hee suggested, "Since Jun-ho wasn't there when we released sky lanterns in Taiwan two years ago, let's go back as a complete team this time," and everyone confirmed Taiwan as the first travel destination for Season 4.
A few days later, the ‘Dokkabz’ arrived in the town of Shifen, Taiwan, after a two-and-a-half-hour flight. Kim Jun-ho, who had to leave half a day early during their previous trip to Taiwan two years ago and couldn't visit Shifen, was excited by the ‘Dokkabz’ suggestion, "I should make a wish here since I'm getting married soon and good things are happening. Our wishes from that time all came true." Following this, they played the 'Wife Text Game' with the costs of releasing sky lanterns and snacks at stake. They agreed to exclude the person who had the most intense conversation from the 'Dokkab,' and Kim Jun-ho surprised everyone by revealing a text message from his 'fiancée' Kim Ji-min that said, "Suddenly, I want to have our baby~."
Jang Dong-min also joined in, sharing a sexy selfie sent by his wife with the message, "Come home quickly~," which got him excluded from the 'Dokkab.' On the other hand, Yoo Se-yoon, while looking at a text from Kim Dae-hee's wife, mistakenly thought it was from his mother, causing everyone to burst into laughter. As a result of the affection test, Hong In-kyu became the 'Dokkab' and, unable to write a wish on the sky lantern after being excluded, he pleaded, "I'll write my wish on a note, so please let me stick it in a corner of the sky lantern," which brought about a humorous moment.
Shortly after, the ‘Dokkabz’ wrote their wishes on the four sides of the sky lantern with brushes. Kim Jun-ho wished, "I hope Jimin is happy, and I hope to have one more family member after July 13," while Yoo Se-yoon wished, "Son, walk proudly with your shoulders back." After sincerely releasing the sky lanterns, the ‘Dokkabz’ enjoyed chicken wing fried rice and peanut ice cream, bursting with 'happiness potential.' They then took a private van to a recommended duck restaurant suggested by Jang Dong-min.
This restaurant was famous for its local-style Peking duck, and the ‘Dokkabz’ worried when Kim Jun-ho, who is known for his love of food, showed no particular reaction while looking at the menu. Hong In-kyu expressed concern, saying, "Hyung, what's the reason for losing weight?" Kim Jun-ho confessed, "I want to look great on my wedding day, but I couldn't find a tuxedo that fits because of my belly. I intentionally reduced my waist size to 32 to fit it." At that moment, the roasted duck dish was served, and Jang Dong-min encouraged Kim Jun-ho, saying, "You should eat a lot because it's good for male vitality." Kim Jun-ho responded, "Hearing that makes me want to eat more~," adding to the laughter.
The genuine chemistry and delightful travel stories of the ‘Dokkabz’ in Season 4 will continue on Channel S's ‘Nidon Naesan Dokkab Tour 4’ airing on June 7 at 9 PM.
