On MBC‘s ‘I Live Alone’, Lee Jang-woo took off his padding and entered a frozen valley during the strongest cold wave, stealing the spotlight. People are curious to know what Lee Jang-woo will think about breaking the ice with a hammer and ‘dipping in cold water all the way to the top of his head.

On the MBC ‘I Live Alone’ (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Park Soo-bin, Lee Kyung-eun, and Moon Ki-young) broadcast on the afternoon of the 17th, Lee Jang-woo’s solo camping scene to welcome the new year in 2025 will be revealed.

Lee Jang-woo arrives at a campsite that has turned into a winter wonderland due to the strongest cold wave and snow, and begins preparing for camping in earnest. Unlike the Rainbow members who had no affinity for tents, with their tents blowing away and shaking as if they might collapse, Lee Jang-woo shows off his ‘1st generation camping skills’ by demonstrating the know-how he has accumulated over the years.



Lee Jang-woo, who quickly finished setting up the tent, firewood, and kitchen, suddenly heads towards the frozen valley holding a huge hammer. Lee Jang-woo starts breaking the ice without any mercy, takes off his padding, and steps into the water. In the released photos, Lee Jang-woo is shockingly caught jumping into the icy valley water from head to toe.

He thought, “I need to wake up my mind and get in the water to welcome 2025”, so he reserved a campsite by the valley. Lee Jang-woo says after getting in the water, “I think I lost about 2 kg,” but his swollen face is captured, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Lee Jang-woo then opens an icebox that looks like it‘s about to burst and prepares dinner. He makes green onion and garlic oil and adds doenjang, red pepper powder, various vegetables, bone broth, and a specially prepared sujebi dough with a secret powder, as well as ‘Agwi liver sauce’, the finishing touch to camping cooking, surprising the Rainbow members with a proper course meal. Lee Jang-woo’s ‘Camping Course Cuisine’ stimulates curiosity about what it will taste like.

Lee Jang-woo‘s appearance welcoming 2025 with the ‘Cold Water Dive’ in the Ice Valley can be seen on ‘I Live Alone’, which airs tonight (the 17th) at 11:10 PM.
