‘Bangjal-al’ Kwak Pa-won, World Travel + Into the Earth Theme Park… Spectacular ‘Earth Marble 3’ (Comprehensive) [DA:On-site]

The dice have been thrown again for ‘Kwak Pa-won (Kwak Tube, Pani Bottle, Wonji)’. The real-life version of Blue Marble, ‘Earth Marble World Travel’, which unfolds on a gigantic Earth, has returned with Season 3. The travel partner system introduced in Season 2 will be with us again this time, and various elements of a special theme park concept have been added, raising expectations for greater fun and chemistry.

Production conference for ENA‘s entertainment show ‘Earth Marble World Travel 3’ held at Shocking K-Pop Center in Mapo-gu, Seoul at 11 am on the 20th. The event was attended by PDs Kim Tae-ho and Kim Hoon-beom, as well as travel YouTubers Panibottle, Wonji, and Kwak Tube.

Panibottle said, “I didn’t know I would make it to season 3, but I think I‘ll be saying the same thing in season 4,” and coquettishly added, “The results were good last season, so I hope we can have better results this time.” Wonji shared her thoughts, saying, “I never imagined I would make it to season 3 during season 1. I had fun filming it, so I hope you enjoy it.” Kwak Tube said, “It seems like I’m filming YouTube like I‘m filming ’Earth Marble World Tour.‘ In the past, I used a lot of vulgar language in my YouTube comments, but I can’t seem to use it anymore.” It feels like I‘ve become a part of ‘World Trip with a Marble Earth’, he said, adding, “We’ve prepared an even more fun season, so please show lots of interest.”


‘World Trip with a Marble Earth 3’, where eternal partners Kwak Pa-won (Kwak Tube, Pani Bottle, Wonji) have reunited, has a larger scale and a new concept, ‘World Trip with a Marble Earth Theme Park’. An overwhelmingly large 3D board appears, and hidden throughout the board, which looks like a theme park has been moved there, are hidden tickets that will change the flow of the trip. The content battle of the even more powerful ‘Kwak-ppa-won’ will unfold on an overwhelming scale, including the ‘Dream Pass’, a unique accommodation card from around the world, and a secret ‘Invitation’.

Regarding the differences in Season 3, PD Kim Tae-ho explained, “If Season 1 was conducted in the form of Blue Marble with raw YouTubers, Season 2 focused on unfolding unexpected environments in the form of Jumanji.”. He said, “This time, we tried to include elements of selecting countries and items with choices other than dice, while not missing the travel that is the basis of the program.”, “The three Kwak-ppa-won have grown a lot as creators and broadcasters over the past 2-3 years. If we had added game or variety elements from Season 1, it wouldn‘t have worked, but since all three of them have gained experience in broadcasting programs such as ‘Bloody Game 3’, ‘Devil’s Plan’, that structure has worked for them now. He said, “We were able to try it because we got used to the viewers and grew as broadcasters.”

He also said, “Since we proceeded with the season 3 concept as a theme park, we prepared corners like Food Festa, Amazing Kingdom, and Crazy World in the program. Of course, you can only proceed if you roll the dice, but we thought about that kind of expandability.”

PD Kim Hoon-beom said, “I thought there was nowhere left for the three of them to go, but they went higher. I was surprised to see their capabilities grow from YouTube sensibility to broadcast sensibility, and from ways to satisfy viewers to ways that satisfy them. I thought it was amazing to see them not losing their original intentions while enjoying their trip.” He added, “The season 3 theme park concept started from ‘enjoying the Earth like an amusement park.’ He said, ”Special rooms like uninhabited islands were deleted and theme parks were added without losing the basic settings.“


The cast also said that it felt new. Pani Bottle confessed, ”The production team‘s devices were mixed in with the existing trip, so there were unexpected situations and it was fun.“ Wonji said, ”I personally took on the challenge, and I think it was fun to watch. I wanted to show a new side of myself,“ and ”There are always unexpected situations when you do ’Traveling the World with Magical Gems,‘ but they appear in the latter half. Please watch to see how we solve and recover.” Kwak Tube said, “There are many different elements in season 3, so I thought, ‘The last season must have done well,’ and ‘We received good investment.’ Personally, I have a severe fear of heights, so I tried to show that I’m trying to overcome it.”

The travel partners who garnered attention for their unique combination from season 2’s ‘Kwak Baron’ will be joining us again this season. A new friend named ‘Gu-reum-hee’ based on viewers will also appear. ‘Gu-reum-hee’, created from the flight paths they’ve experienced so far, will shake up the trip and provide extreme fun.

PD Kim Tae-ho said, “The chemistry with your travel companion is important, so if it’s awkward in each round, you’ll see that side of you as you become closer.” PD Kim Hoon-beom said, “In season 3, the chemistry with the new travel partners we meet has become more natural compared to season 2. I’m happy to see Kwak Bba-won enjoying traveling together. I hope the viewers will also enjoy traveling with partners.”

Regarding the guests, Wonji recalled, “The chemistry with the guests was fun and unexpected,” and Kwak Tube said, “People who understand the three of us appeared as partners. The synergy created an unexpected chemistry.”


Panibottle, the only one who has never won on ‘Earth’s Magic World Travel,‘ also expressed his will to win this season. Wonji won season 1 and Kwak Tube won season 2 and each enjoyed the winner’s prize. Wonji went on a trip to Ulleungdo with model Shin Hyun-ji and Kwak Tube went on a splendid trip with actors Kang Ki-young and g.o.d. Park Joon-hyung.

Panibottle said, “I‘ve said before, ’I don‘t need to win, the trip itself is the win.’ The tone hasn‘t changed, but everyone said it would be better if I won based on the picture. Judging from the fact that I’m in the middle on the Season 3 poster, I think they pushed me.” “I didn‘t necessarily have to win, but the guests I went with loved traveling so much. They said it would be nice if I won and went on another trip with them. I think it would be a memorable experience if I won and went to a nice place that the guests wanted to go to, at least for them. That doesn’t mean there‘s a sure-win strategy. Wonji and Kwak Tube said, ”We went on a trip that we thought we wouldn’t do, but I‘d rather the program do well than win.“

Kwak Tube then said, ”I also think the broadcast picture is important, so I said I hope Pani Bottle wins, but I don’t think that‘ll be easy,“ causing laughter. He said, ”For this season 3, I tried to film it naturally without putting in too much effort, but as we filmed, I realized that he had a similar style. I thought it wouldn’t be easy for Pani Bottle to win,“ and revealed his desire to win, saying, ”When we went on the season 2 winning trip, Kang Ki Young and Jjuni were satisfied, so this time, the guests are looking forward to it too.“

‘Earthquake World Tour 3’ starts in Mokpo, the land of flavor, and will first depart from Korea and then travel around the world. It‘s not a simple tour; since fate is determined by the rules of ‘Earthquake’, unexpected developments are expected. First broadcast on ENA at 7:50 PM on Saturday the 22nd.
