Battle Trip (배틀트립)

Traveling is like a battle.

- Battle Trip. - Battle Trip.

Today's special host is...

Ji Won of fromis_9. Welcome.

Hello, I'm Ji Won of fromis_9.

I'll try my best today.

We've been to a lot of vacation spots in Battle Trip.

But this week, we will introduce new places that we've never been to.

- I love that. - This is our first time.

It's the country of wind and grassland, Mongolia.

- Mongolia? - Mongolia.

And it's a city in Taiwan you might find a little strange,

Taichung.

- Taichung. - We're finally going to Mongolia.

It's Taichung, right?

About Mongolia...

You know Hareem, the musician?

- Hareem? - Yes.

He asked where to find the restroom,

and he was told to go anywhere he wanted.

As he relieved himself...

under the stars falling upon him,

he realized...

that he's a human being living on this planet.

He says it gave him a lot of strange thoughts.

I've always wanted to go to Mongolia.

I heard that the stars are beautiful there.

I heard people there have good eyesight.

They can even see a person who's arriving the next day.

I wonder who went to those places.

Here are our four trip designers.

My gosh.

Hello.

Hello, I'm Kangnam.

Hello, I'm Kim Ji Min.

I'm Hong Hyun Hee. Nice to meet you.

So these four people went to Taichung and Mongolia.

Can you tell who went to Mongolia and who went to Taichung?

It's hard to tell.

He's dressed up like a person from Taichung.

Who went to Mongolia?

- It's us. - We did.

We went to Mongolia.

Can you make it sound a little tense?

Did you have a hard time there?

Is what I just said true?

Did you use the restroom there?

There was no restroom.

You can go anywhere you want.

Everywhere you go is a restroom.

And it's just a flatland,

so people can see you anywhere.

- That's the problem. - You can't hide.

Wherever you go, people can see you.

- It sounds inconvenient. - Right.

No, you can't say that.

It's not inconvenient. It's part of nature.

It sounds very inconvenient.

I've never heard of Taichung before.

- Me neither. - Taichung?

I didn't know Taiwan had such beautiful nature before.

We enjoyed the fresh air there.

We're going to win.

Taiwan also has good foods.

Exactly.

It feels like we lost already.

- You guys sound so depressed. - By the way,

Kangnam has lost a lot of weight.

He seems to lose a lot of weight.

- I lost 15kg. - 15kg?

- How did you do that? - What did you do?

Because of your girlfriend?

Well...

She works out really hard.

She made you exercise?

- Yes. - They exercise together.

I run every day.

Do you run before a date?

We run before and after a date.

You don't need to lose more weight.

What's today's theme?

- What's that? - What is it?

It's a trip where you zone out.

A trip where you zone out?

That doesn't sound like Hyun Hee.

- She just likes to eat. - She really does.

To be honest, it was hard.

But I zoned out a lot...

admiring the scenery...

and enjoying the food.

At first, I thought she was really loud.

She was so loud that it made me zone out.

Like a ringing in the ears.

We could zone out the whole time, right?

- I think... - I see.

our trip fit the theme.

Were you guys close?

No, we were not.

- I knew it. - We weren't close at all.

We've never met before.

(The trip of two strangers begins now.)

Hello, everyone. I'm Kangnam.

I think I'm a regular in this show.

In 2017,

- Kangnam has been here a lot. - I went to Cancun, Mexico...

with Lee Tae Gon. In 2018,

I went to Danyang with Tae Jin Ah.

And now, it's 2019.

I'm going on a trip again.

The person I'm going with.

Actually...

- I haven't even met him before. - Two guys who haven't met?

It will be really awkward.

- It will be really awkward. - I think so.

I didn't know what he was like.

I haven't even met him before.

I don't usually get nervous,

but I'm feeling really nervous now.

Because I'm a fan.

I've liked him since I was young.

It's the first Korean song I learned.

I've always sung the song since I was in middle school.

I sing it every time I go to a karaoke room.

I think that's the only part he knows.

- I know the whole song. - He seems nervous.

Hello. Hi.

- Hello. - I've wanted to meet you.

(He's now playing an active part in the acting field.)

20 years ago.

- He looks cool. - What?

Who's that?

- My gosh. - Here come UN.

- He hasn't changed. - That's how he looked.

- My goodness. - That's Hwi Jae.

He hasn't changed for the past 20 years.

- That's true. - It's "Wave" by UN.

(He's singer-turned-actor Choi Jung Won.)

You look better now.

The hair and clothes were in style back then.

It doesn't look old-fashioned though.

It's in style again.

- He hasn't changed a lot. - I know.

I've wanted to meet you.

It was our first time to meet, so it was very awkward.

- I don't think we've met before. - Right.

I'm a big fan.

No, I'm a fan of yours.

The first Korean song I learned is "Gift".

I love that song.

It feels so awkward.

- It looks awkward. - Oh no.

You're like a model.

- All of a sudden? - As you walked in...

- You're just saying that suddenly? - He has charisma.

I can tell he really likes Jung Won.

You have long arms.

It's so out of the blue.

You just said that all of a sudden.

(He's flustered by the unexpected compliment.)

I'm serious. Do you want me to call my mom?

- Go ahead. - I'm telling you.

Seriously,

- people say... - Let's call your mom...

and find out if it's true.

- It is true. - I want to know.

I understand. My mom will tell you.

They are asking his mom if he was a fan?

Mom, what are you doing?

- I was studying. - Mom. Look.

- I'm sure he's a real fan. - What was the first...

Korean song I learned?

- She knows that? - The first Korean song?

Of course she does.

"Love Is Not a Joke".

- What? - That's not true.

- It was a lie. - No, it wasn't.

- "Love Is Not a Joke". - No.

Mom, the first Korean song...

- I learned. - I see.

It's "Gift".

- It's true. - I told you so.

- I like the song. - No, I do.

- This is so sudden. - Mom.

- She just said that abruptly. - I like the song too.

- Okay. - I hope to meet you some day.

- Okay. Thank you. - I'll call you later.

I shouldn't have called her.

I hang out with Tae Jin Ah all the time, so she was confused.

Your mom is quite well up in TV shows.

I should've told her that I'm going on a trip with him.

- Anyway. - She didn't know that.

Anyway, we're...

going on a trip where we can zone out.

That's the theme.

It means we should go someplace quiet.

- With beautiful nature. - That's right.

I have an idea.

A place that has nothing.

I know a place like that.
