Jang Dong-min appears with bleached hair in his 20s, making Kim Jun-ho say, "I can't even look at him"

'Dokbakz's' Thrilling Journey in Bochu Grand Canyon, China

Channel S and E Channel's 'Dokbak Tour!', a show loved for its unique premise where five comedians must bear the entire travel expense through games, has ventured into the vast natural landscapes of China. In the 5th episode scheduled to air at 9 PM on the 4th, the so-called 'Dokbakz' members—Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu—visit the Bochu Grand Canyon, a representative Chinese tourist attraction featuring a large-scale theme park.

The members first boarded a massive cable car to head toward the entrance of the Bochu Grand Canyon, located halfway up the mountain. Once they arrived at the entrance, the real exploration began. They had to continuously gain altitude toward the mountain peak by walking along trails and transferring between monorails and escalators. During the endless movement, Kim Jun-ho let out a deep sigh, saying, "There's truly no end to this." While showing signs of exhaustion, he added a whimsical hope, "Since I keep going up like this, I feel like my stocks might go up too," turning the scene into a sea of laughter. In particular, as soon as he spotted a red sculpture, he revealed his 'stock obsession' by linking it to the upper limit indicator on a stock chart.

Jang Dong-min's Bleached Hair Photos from His 20s, Brutal Roasting by Close Friends

After finishing the hike, the members ordered beef noodles and white broth noodles at a nearby food court to satisfy their hunger. While naturally reminiscing about past memories at amusement parks while eating, Jang Dong-min searched through his phone and pulled out a photo. The photo captured Jang Dong-min in his 20s with bright yellow bleached hair. Looking at the photo, Jang introduced it as, "This was when I went to an amusement park with Se-yoon for the first time."

However, his once(?) glamorous visuals drew unrestrained insults from his colleagues. As soon as Kim Jun-ho saw Jang in the photo, he unleashed a merciless roast, saying, "That's a visual I wouldn't want to run into on the street." Jang Dong-min also showed signs of embarrassment, letting out an awkward laugh at the unexpected attack. Other members, including Yoo Se-yoon and Hong In-gyu, burst into laughter upon facing Jang's intense past style. The 'true friend chemistry,' which is the core fun of this program that has reached its fifth season since starting as a pilot in June 2023, was proven once again through this reveal of past photos.

Acrophobic Kim Jun-ho, a Challenge as an 'Expectant Father'

After the meal, the members set out to challenge an activity considered the highlight of the Bochu Grand Canyon. Hong In-gyu strongly recommended the 'Cliff Swing' as a must-ride course. However, the problem was Kim Jun-ho. Known for having severe acrophobia (fear of heights), Kim Jun-ho showed intense repulsion as soon as he saw the swing hanging at the edge of the cliff. He shuddered, saying, "You know I hate this kind of thing, so why do you keep telling me to ride it?"

In response, Hong In-gyu employed a special logic to stimulate Kim Jun-ho's desire to take on the challenge. He persisted in persuading him, saying, "Wouldn't it be great to brag to your child later, 'Daddy even rode something like this'?" Kim Jun-ho, who recently announced his marriage news to actress Kim Ji-min, is known to have been focusing on health management, including attempting IVF for a second generation, reducing alcohol consumption, and dieting. The key observation point of this broadcast is whether Kim Jun-ho, putting his pride as an 'expectant father' on the line, can overcome his neck disc pain and acrophobia to get on the cliff swing.

The Charm of Dokbak Tour, the Pleasant Chemistry of the Quintet

This episode unfolds with the overwhelming scenery of the Bochu Grand Canyon intersecting with the thrilling situations the members experience. Led by Kim Dae-hee, the five comedians add fun to the trip by supporting and pulling each other through a structure where they bear the travel expenses through games, while simultaneously exchanging merciless jokes. From the reveal of Jang Dong-min's past photos to whether Kim Jun-ho can overcome his fear of heights, their pleasant travelogue set against the rugged terrain of the Bochu Grand Canyon will meet viewers on Channel S and E Channel at 9 PM on the 4th.

Real Wit Bursting from the Members on Site

During the endless hike, Kim Jun-ho sighed, saying, "There's truly no end to this." He then made the scene burst into laughter by making a whimsical comment, "Isn't that the upper limit indicator on a stock chart?" upon discovering a red sculpture.

Jang Dong-min showed a photo from his 20s and explained, "This was when I went to an amusement park with Se-yoon for the first time." In response, Kim Jun-ho unleashed a blunt roast, saying, "That's a visual I wouldn't want to run into on the street!"

To Kim Jun-ho, who was repulsed by the cliff swing, Hong In-gyu continued his persistent persuasion, saying, "Wouldn't it be great to brag to your child later, 'Daddy even rode something like this'?"
