Trot prince Park Ji-hyun, Son Tae-jin, and Kim Yong-bin have formed a travel club for the directionally challenged.
The new entertainment program "It's Okay to Be Lost," which will premiere on October 18 at 7:50 PM on ENA (directed by Gong Dae-han, written by Shin Yeo-jin), captures the journey of directionally challenged celebrities as they take on a travel experience designed by creators.
Although the travelers are inexperienced, find planning bothersome, and lack time, a customized theme tour will be provided for those who want to travel. However, as the slogan states, "Travel is C (choice) between B (begin) and D (destination)," the unpredictable journey caused by choices that change every time they get lost is the key point of fun.
Moreover, while they have conquered the trot stage, Park Ji-hyun, Son Tae-jin, and Kim Yong-bin, who are inexperienced in travel, come together as the "Lost Club," collaborating with ENA, a leading network for travel entertainment programs like "Global Monopoly World Tour," "Cooking and Traveling," and "Choo Sung-hoon's Meal Value (co-produced by EBS)," which raises expectations.
First, the MCs have been confirmed as Song Hae-na, who has established herself as ENA's "entertainment daughter," and Kim Won-hoon, who has become a popular entertainer through Short Box content and shows like "SNL" and "Cooking and Traveling." The two will add vitality to the program with their honest reactions and witty commentary while watching travel VCRs in the studio. Song Hae-na will vividly convey the members' clumsiness with warm empathy and a friendly perspective, while Kim Won-hoon will bring laughter with sharp remarks and delightful observations.
Park Ji-hyun, known for her "live fish voice" and "intro fairy," is a complete novice in travel, sweating at the mere sight of airplane wings. In contrast, Son Tae-jin, who has written a myth of two-time victories in "Phantom Singer" and "Burning Trotman," appears reliable with 17 years of residence in Singapore and proficiency in five languages, but he has never actually planned a trip, revealing his unexpected clumsiness through the show.
Additionally, Kim Yong-bin, a trot prodigy who won the title of "Mr. Trot 3," claims to be a travel novice who has never traveled abroad alone. He struggles to find his way even with a map, raising anticipation for the choices he will make that will bring laughter. Above all, the human charm of these individuals, which has not been seen on stage, is expected to provide fans with a new sense of familiarity.
Joining as travel designers for the directionally challenged are creators "Captain Ddago" and "Tto Tto Nam," who are known for their unique travel content. Captain Ddago and Tto Tto Nam are popular travel creators with over 670,000 subscribers. They will design customized routes for the Lost Club and provide realistic advice at every moment of choice.
Gong Dae-han, the director of "It's Okay to Be Lost," stated, "Travel requires numerous choices. However, the moment you get lost due to a wrong choice can often lead to a more memorable journey. Within the customized design of creators that one might have dreamed of at least once, we will present the chaotic episodes of the three trot directionally challenged members, the unexpected charm that emerges, and their growth story as they now want to conquer the travel stage, along with practical travel tips. Please look forward to it."
"It's Okay to Be Lost" will premiere on October 18 at 7:50 PM on ENA.
