The four people who spent their last morning in southern Italy made each other laugh as they looked at each other’s faces with swollen eyes due to the aftereffects of the previous night‘s snack. The four people who were enjoying some rare leisure time talked about the topic of ‘What if they could go back in time?’. When surprisingly everyone answered, “I don’t want to go back,” Ra Mi-ran suddenly got emotional. She could guess the hearts of the younger members who had gone through difficult times, including Kwak Sun-young and Lee Joo-bin, who came to light after a long period of obscurity, and Lee Se-young, who debuted at the age of 5 and lived a different life from her peers. Ra Mi-ran, who had a connection with her unknown days, shed tears and said, “It must have been hard for everyone. We all had a hard time living,” which made her younger members cry as well.

Leaving the hot weather behind, the members hurried to move to the cool northern Italy where a new journey awaited them. There was even an incident where the car left first while Kwak Sun-young was getting the receipt at the gas station, but Kwak Sun-young showed a positive attitude despite the unexpected lag. Starting with the commemorative song ‘Lonely’, as the nostalgic jukebox started playing in the car, Lee Se-young got the attention of her older sisters by telling her first love story, saying that she overcame the pain of unrequited love at the age of 17 with Kim Kwang-seok‘s songs.

The first journey in the north was a 256km drive from Venice to the Dolomites. Although they encountered an unexpected downpour while grocery shopping in Venice, the four of them made new romance and memories by running through the 750m of rain. Lee Joo-bin, who was in charge of the drive, was nervous at the tollgate, which was an unfamiliar system, and answered that she came from Korea, not Venice, which made everyone burst into laughter. During the long drive, they naturally talked about the filming site, and Lee Joo-bin recalled the shampoo commercial she filmed with Ra Mi-ran when she was a rookie, and was amazed by the amazing reunion.


After running on an endless uphill road and arriving in the pitch-black darkness, we arrived at a mountain lodge. Lee Se-young personally made a reservation at the mountain lodge in order to enjoy the wildflower paradise, ‘Alpediciusi’, the size of 8,000 soccer fields, up close. Ra Mi-ran, who felt the sudden cold weather due to the high altitude, said, “Friends without cellulite must be cold”, and worried about her ‘skinny’ siblings, making people laugh. After admiring the pretty mountain lodge with a front yard for a moment, Ra Mi-ran and Kwak Seon-young enjoyed a late-night snack time alone by boiling some hot soybean paste stew to beat the cold.

As the morning dawned, the Dolomites’ peaks finally came into view. The members started their day with a simple but hearty breakfast with the remaining soybean paste stew, fully enjoying the Dolomite morning. (Liver) Fasting Center Director Ramiran quickly made a unique variation of Poo Pat Pong Curry, cabbage curry, and aroused the admiration of her younger siblings. Lee Se-young, who was the first to open her eyes, prepared a special lunch box for her older sisters, including sandwiches and butter potatoes, adding to the warmth.

The first destination in the Dolomites was the wildflower colony that Ramiran wanted to see the most. It is a place that can only be reached by taking the lift to a high altitude. There was an incident where ‘Drop Goddess’ Lee Joo-bin left her lunch box in the lift, but thanks to Kwak Seon-young‘s quick wit, they were able to save the lunch box. The members who met the world’s largest wildflower colony could not help but be amazed by the unrealistic scenery covered in wildflowers. Ramiran showed off her girlish side as she walked through the wildflower paradise she had dreamed of, and her younger siblings also enjoyed the ecstasy as they walked along the picturesque path.

After that, the four decided to have lunch at ‘Malga’, a cabin in the Alps that exudes local sensibility. The variety show‘s next journey is even more curious about how the lunchbox prepared with care by Lee Se-young will be evaluated by her sisters.
