When ‘Solo Tour 3’ Kim Jun-ho made a New Year‘s wish for 2025 of “(getting married) and becoming a father”, ‘Eldest brother’ Kim Dae-hee showed off their friendship by saying “Make sure to have a second child who resembles you”.

On the 20th episode of ‘Nidonnaesan Solo Tour 3’ on the 11th, Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-kyu left for Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, enjoying various marine activities on a luxury yacht and going on a romantic ‘Firefly Tour’. Also, the ‘Dokbakz’ took in the sunset of Kota Kinabalu, famous for one of the world’s three greatest sunsets, and made a wish for the new year of 2025, giving healing, emotion, and lingering feelings to the viewers at home.

On this day, the ‘Dokbakz’ arrived in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, a charming city known as the jewel of Southeast Asia. They stole the spotlight by appearing in five-person, five-color ‘marine looks’ themed on jewels. Afterwards, they began the luxury yacht tour that Kim Jun-ho had booked. The ‘Dokbakz’ rented an entire yacht worth 110,000 won per person and moved to a spot with a swimming pool set up on the sea and enjoyed various marine activities. After completing the thrilling free diving and flying fish experience, they went to the ‘Yacht Rental Fee’ Dokbakz drawing and played a game where they had to protect the water in a cup while riding a banana boat. Here, Kim Dae-hee came in last and coolly paid the yacht fee.

Next, they headed to a nearby restaurant to eat ‘Laksa’, a Malaysian noodle dish. The ‘Dokbaks’, who ordered a lot of basic laksa, shrimp wontons, and chicken rice, had a huge eating show. After that, they played the ‘When You Go to Kota Kinabalu’, a game that requires memorization, to see who would win the meal fee, but the fact that the four members, excluding Hong In-gyu, had planned a plan in advance to ‘Fool Hong In-gyu’, created tension. However, Kim Jun-ho made a ridiculous mistake and the ‘Fool Hong In-gyu’ plan went down the drain. Embarrassed, Kim Jun-ho said, “The person who suggests the game always gets caught. Let‘s not do this for the time being” and showed gradation anger.

After filling their bellies, the ‘Dokbakz’ met with a local guide and headed to ‘Bonggawan’ to go on the ‘Firefly Tour’ that Yoo Se-yoon ‘Highly Recommended’. The guide guided them to a spot where they could see the red sunset of Kota Kinabalu, one of the three greatest sunsets in the world, and Jang Dong-min, who was moved by the beautiful sunset, suggested, “Since this trip is the first broadcast of the new year, why don’t you make a New Year‘s wish?”. Hong In-gyu said, “This year, I want to build a great body and become ‘the second Yoo Se-yoon’,”, and Kim Dae-hee wished, “To travel with my family on the same course we traveled.” Yoo Se-yoon said, “I’ll complete a half marathon,” and Jang Dong-min said, “I want to launch a program with my name on it.” Kim Jun-ho expressed his sincere wish, saying, “(After marrying Kim Ji-min this year) to become a father.” In a warm atmosphere, the ‘Dokbakz’ chose the ‘Firefly Tour Fee’ Dokbakz through the signature game, ‘Jump Shot’ filming game, and Hong In-gyu, who was ‘0Dokbakz’, earned 1 Dokbakz because he had no luck jumping.

After enjoying the sunset, the ‘Dokbakz’ finally set off on the ‘Firefly Tour’ in the dark of the night. They boarded a small boat and headed to the ‘Mangrove Forest’, the habitat of fireflies. Everyone was amazed by the fantastic firefly feast, and the ‘Dokbaks’ caught fireflies and made a wish at the guide‘s explanation, “If you catch a firefly, make a wish, and release it, your wish will come true,” the ‘Dokbaks’ each caught a firefly and made a wish. Hong In-gyu put his hands together and said, “Please let us do the ‘Dokbak Tour’ for a long time,” and Kim Jun-ho made everyone laugh by saying, “Please let everyone love each other. Especially, please make our love come true.”.

After successfully completing the ‘Firefly Tour’, the ‘Dokbaks’ went to a restaurant famous for its ‘Giant Grouper’. When the overwhelmingly large giant grouper dish came out, they were moved, saying, “It tastes like the deep sea”, “This is the first time I’ve seen fish bones this big.” After a satisfying meal, ‘Eldest brother’ Kim Dae-hee gave New Year‘s greetings to his younger siblings. He encouraged them by saying, “I hope Se-yoon does well in the new year like 2024, and I hope Dong-min launches a program named after him.”. He then said to Kim Jun-ho, “I hope you get married in the new year and have a second child who resembles you...”. In this warm atmosphere, the ‘Dokbaks’ once again entered the ‘Dokbak Game’ for the meal money. In the ‘Facial Muscle Use’ game of “Let’s eliminate the first person to untie a rubber band under the nose from the Dokbak,”the ‘Dokbaks’ gave it their all in the competition. Here, Jang Dong-min put on a thrilling performance to overtake Kim Dae-hee, and in the end, Kim Dae-hee became the Dokbak. Kim Dae-hee, who checked the meal bill with tears in his eyes, was shocked by the price of 220,000 won and shouted, “Eat until you finish (the bowl) before you leave,” making everyone laugh bitterly.

After that, the ‘Dokbaks’, who were waiting in front of the restaurant to call a taxi to go to their lodgings, talked about the ‘Dokbaks with the most dokseon penalty. Hong In-gyu excitedly shouted, “How about eating a live grub? The biggest one?”, and Kim Jun-ho confidently replied, “I‘ve even eaten balut (boiled duck eggs just before hatching)”. As even Kim Jun-ho confidently responded, the ‘Dokbakz’ naturally decided on the ‘most Dokbakz’ penalty of ‘eating a live grub’.

While curiosity is rising as to who will get to eat the grub in Kota Kinabalu, the ‘Dokbakz’’s chaotic travel story will continue on ‘Nidonnaesan Dokbak Tour 3’, which airs on the 18th (Sat) at 8:20 PM. ‘Dokbak Tour 3’ will air simultaneously on Channel S, K-star, and AXN.
