Kim Joon-ho Says "We Might as Well Have Bought It"... 'Alone Backpacking Tour' Episode 17 Features Military Skit in Cheorwon and Debate Over 260,000-Won Freshwater Spicy Fish Stew
CBC News

In the 17th episode of 'Go to the End! Alone Backpacking Tour,' Kim Joon-ho, Kim Dae-hee, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu traveled to Cheorwon, putting on a full-fledged military skit and drawing attention by making their own freshwater spicy fish stew.

In the episode aired on Channel S and E Channel, the cast members randomly drew rank insignia at a military supply store in Cheorwon. As a result, Kim Joon-ho became the platoon leader, Kim Dae-hee the sergeant, Hong In-gyu the corporal, Yoo Se-yoon the private first class, and Jang Dong-min the private, carrying out the military skit.

Upon arriving at the accommodation, Jang Dong-min personally prepared three kinds of freshwater fish — mandarin fish, catfish, and bagaji fish — and completed a spicy fish stew. The finished stew was served in order of rank.

During the meal, when corporal Hong In-gyu said to private Jang Dong-min in polite speech, "Shouldn't we add ramen noodles too? Didn't you put in too much?" platoon leader Kim Joon-ho snapped, "Why are you speaking politely to your junior?" He added, "No matter how tasty the food is, a corporal must never speak politely to a private!" drawing laughter.

The military skit continued even after the meal. When Kim Dae-hee asked, "How long do we have to keep doing this 'military skit'?" Jang Dong-min exploded with emotion, saying, "Stop it now, you XXs!" In response, Kim Joon-ho said, "Even without the 'military skit,' I'm still your older brother anyway!" adding more laughter to the scene.

A debate also broke out over the cost of the meal. Jang Dong-min explained, "Since live fish were the ingredients, the fish alone cost 200,000 won. Adding other ingredient and side dish costs brings it to about 260,000 won." Kim Joon-ho expressed regret, saying, "260,000 won for five people — wouldn't it have been better to just go out and buy it (at a spicy fish stew restaurant)?"

Meanwhile, Jang Dong-min guided the members to a tourist spot in Cheorwon that was opened to civilians for the first time in 70 years. The identity of the spot and which member will pay for dinner will be revealed in episode 17, airing at 9 p.m. on the 26th.
