Gian84 did it again..Highest ratings in all-time high-flying history (Taegye Ilju 4)



MBC entertainment program 'around the world 4' (directed by Kim Ji-woo, hereinafter 'Taegye Ilju 4') is back splendidly. The first episode, which aired on the 11th, received great response from viewers, recording 2.3% of 2049 viewers and 3.6% of the highest ratings per 2049 minutes, which are major indicators of advertisers and key indicators of channel competitiveness. When comparing the first broadcast of the series 'around the world at birth', which broke its own highest ratings every season, they all recorded the highest number, signaling a positive first signal. In addition, household viewership was 4.0% in the Seoul metropolitan area and the highest viewing rate per household was 6.6%.

The scene with the highest ratings was that Gian84 walked through the rolling bridges and rough mountain paths instead of Sherpa's luggage and arrived in the southern city of Bazar, the gateway to Everest and the hometown of Sherpa, and despite the painful journey, his attempt to adapt to the local area resonated greatly.

This 'Walking Around the World 4' is a trip where brothers Gian 84, Pani Bottle, Lee Si-eon, and Dexsa leave as a whole, which was highly anticipated even before the broadcast. In particular, Gian84, who was deeply curious about the life of Himalayan Sherpa through a documentary he watched as a child, headed to 'Nepal' first as the first runner of the journey.




Upon arriving in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, Gian84 showed off his true travel veteran by exchanging money and checking in at his accommodation, and showed off his leveled English skills in the fifth round of the trip, surprising viewers.

The next day, Gian84 set off from dawn to see Sherpa's life and arrived at Everest's first starting point, 'Lukla'. Seeing Lukla, who boasted a magnificent snow mountain and a fairytale figure, he was amazed by the appearance of the village with its original scenery, saying, `It's the first time there's a village without a car.' The scenery of this place, which still uses horses and nags to carry supplies, has also given viewers a fresh shock.

For a moment, Gian84's unconventional behavior of taking off his top and changing his T-shirt in the middle of the Himalayan street surprised locals as well, and once again, he showed his full ability to adapt to the wild, bursting into laughter from the beginning of the broadcast.




Later, Gian84 who recklessly climbed the mountain path to meet Sherpa entered a restaurant to solve lunch, and ordered 'Dido' that the locals were eating and presented a bare-handed eating show as if familiar. As expected, he drew attention in the Himalayas by showing his sincerity in the taste of his hands and his ability to adapt to the local area. He then started talking to Sherpas, and when he saw people working at a young age, he offered to accompany them.

Gian84, who jumped directly into Sherpa's life, began climbing with dozens of kilograms of luggage on his forehead. The sight of climbing the mountain together without giving up despite the hard hiking that relieved the strength of the bridge left a deep impression on viewers, and moved the hearts of those who saw it as a journey of meeting life and people rather than a simple trip.

Gian84 showed how he felt deeply about the life of the local Sherpa, saying "A fairy tale from a distance, a documentary from a close distance." He even stayed with Sherpas, and at an early age, he completed his sincere journey by showing his affection for Sherpas, who carried the family's livelihood.




Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, Lee Si-eon and Pani Bottle were seen arriving in Kathmandu, and Jang Do-yeon drew laughter as she continued to wonder when the main character Dex would come out. As a result, there was also a 'main character debate' between the members, heating the atmosphere even more.

The second episode, which will air around the world at 9:10 p.m. on every Sunday, will air at 10 p.m. on May 18.
