NCT‘s Doyoung is garnering attention on MBC’s ‘I Live Alone’, where he and Jonathan go on a historical tour along the Hanyangdoseong Fortress.

On today‘s (6th) broadcast of MBC’s ‘I Live Alone’ (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Park Soo-bin, Lee Kyung-eun, and Moon Ki-young), NCT‘s Doyoung, who is into studying Korean history, goes on a historical tour along the Hanyangdoseong Fortress with Jonathan.

The revealed photo captures attention with a two-shot of Doyoung and Jonathan. Doyoung confesses how they became friends, saying that Jonathan, who is 4 years his younger brother, hit the nail on the head and that he was “a friend who personally told me he wanted to be friends with me”.



Recently, Doyoung said, “I’m not the type to go out, but Jonathan knocked on doors a lot” and showed off their special friendship by revealing that they recently went hiking together for the first time as adults.

Doyoung and Jonathan also have something in common in that they are into studying Korean history. This time, the two of them go on a historical tour along the Hanyangdoseong Sunseong-gil Trail. They will walk along the Bukaksan Mountain trail, carefully read the historical stories in the guidebook, take certification shots, and even engage in a historical discussion(?) to ignite the academic passion of the ‘Youths of History’.

Meanwhile, Doyoung and Jonathan plan to show their ‘eating mates’ chemistry in front of a table of Korean food including noodles, stir-fried pork, and soft tofu stew after the historical tour. Doyoung said, “This is the first year I’ve eaten two bowls of rice for free”, and he will empty both bowls in no time, raising expectations.

The historical tour of ‘Youths of History’ NCT Doyoung and Jonathan can be seen on ‘I Live Alone’, which airs tonight (the 6th) at 11:10 PM.
