Hong In-gyu won the penalty of having to pay for accommodations at his next destination worth a whopping 1 million won by becoming the ‘Straight 3-Doctor’ on his first domestic trip in Season 3 and becoming the ‘Most Solo Traveler’.

Episode 23 of ‘Ni Don Nae San Solo Tour 3’ aired on Channel S, SK Broadband, K-star, and NXT on the 1st showed Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu going on a ‘Friend‘s House Solo Tour’ to Jang Dong-min’s family home in Wonju, Gangwon-do to celebrate the new year of 2025. ‘80s born monkey zodiac sign, same age’ Yoo Se-yoon and Hong In-gyu expressed their enthusiasm at the beginning of their trip, saying, “We had a misfortune last year, so I hope we don‘t get ‘solo’~”, but Hong In-gyu became the ‘person with the most solos’ with ‘3 straight solos’, and Yoo Se-yoon was punished with ‘sleeping outside’ in the bitter cold of -10 degrees Celsius, making us truly feel the thrill of the ‘solo game’, where it’s hard to predict what will happen even an inch ahead.





On this day, the ‘Dokbaks’ left for Wonju, Gangwon-do, Jang Dong-min‘s hometown, for a ‘Friend’s House’ solo tour. Kim Dae-hee, who shouted “Let‘s go in the year of Eulsa!”, coquettishly said, “Since it’s come to this, should we go around to each house? How about a solo tour of Jun-ho‘s newlywed house next time?“ Hong In-gyu said, “I cried a lot when Jun-ho hyung proposed (to Kim Ji-min) a while ago,” and looked at ‘groom-to-be’ Kim Jun-ho. Kim Jun-ho said, “Actually, I cried because I had so many emotions. My age, my conditions, I feel sorry for Jimin, and I was also scared. I was worried that I might fail again...”, choking up. Then he said, “If Lim Won-hee or Lee Sang-min fell in love with someone and got married, I think I would cry too.”

During the honest conversation, the ‘Dokbakz’ arrived at Jang Dong-min’s family home and happily greeted Jang Dong-min‘s mother and eldest daughter Ji-woo. They then toured Jang Dong-min’s mansion, which has as many as 10 rooms, a PC room, and a screen golf room, and gave Jang Dong-min‘s mother the gifts they each prepared. After the heartwarming gift-giving ceremony, the ‘Dokbakz’ played a drawing game to choose ‘Jang Dong-min’s Mother‘s Gift Money Dokbakja’. In the game where they had to move a tub full of water with their feet, Kim Dae-hee spilled a lot of water and screamed, “Even my panties are all wet!” However, as the game didn’t seem to end, Jang Dong-min suggested, “How about we all donate ‘Moo-Dok-Ji’ to our mothers to celebrate the New Year?” and everyone happily agreed.

In the warm atmosphere, the ‘Dok-Bak-Zeus’ all worked together to groom the ‘Cow‘s Head’ that Jang Dong-min had specially prepared. Jang Dong-min, who had airlifted the ‘Top Grade Cow’s Head’ worth a whopping 250,000 won, taught them how to groom the ‘Cow‘s Head’, and the ‘Dok-Bak-Zeus’ did waxing and scaling to pluck out the cow’s fine hairs together. Meanwhile, the ‘Dok-Bak-Zeus’ asked, “What should we do as the ‘Most Dok-Bak-Ji’ penalty today?” and said, “Let‘s pay for the best accommodations at our next travel destination!” Immediately after, they played a bingo game of ‘Asking and Going Double’ for lunch money, and in the ‘Bingo game of ‘My Wife’s Favorite Words,”, Kim Jun-ho, blinded by his competitive spirit, put Kim Ji-min‘s comment, “(Oppa, I smell like rotten clams from Eulwang-ri!”, coming out of your mouth!) in the bingo box. Hong In-gyu, who confirmed this, said, “I was next to Jimin when she said that,”, and volunteered to be a witness, showing ‘amazing chemistry.’. As various revelations flew in, Jang Dong-min added to the bitter laughter by shouting, “What on earth have you been hearing about!”. After a series of comments that tarnished not only his own image but also that of his wife, Hong In-gyu came in last, and Hong In-gyu, who had become a ‘second-hand person’ in an instant, ended up paying for lunch.





While eating jajangmyeon, Kim Jun-ho brought up wedding preparations, saying, “In-gyu is helping us look for a new house these days.” He continued, “I think it would be good if the house was located ‘near a beauty salon.’ My conditions don’t matter. I can accommodate everything (to Kim Ji-min),” surprising everyone. After the meal, they received New Year’s greetings from Jang Dong-min‘s eldest daughter Ji-woo. The ‘Dokbakz’, who gave Ji-woo some pocket money while wearing ‘Uncle Smile’, played a ‘Dokbak game of ‘Bet the New Year’s money’ after Ji-woo left. In the midst of ‘Blowing out the cards with your mouth and not having a single card left becomes the Dokbakz,’, Hong In-gyu came in last and became the ‘Dokbakz with the most Dokbaks with 3 straight Dokbaks. He sighed and said, “I told you, I‘m done with the three calamities,”, causing a bittersweet laughter.

After that, the ‘Dokbakz’, who inspected the boiled pork head in the middle, chatted while eating Wonju’s local food buckwheat pancake and makgeolli prepared by Jang Dong-min. At that time, Jang Dong-min boasted, “Wonju is the number 1 city in Gangwon-do”, “It must be heaven for Jun-ho hyung because there are many golf courses that he likes.” However, Kim Jun-ho cooled the mood quickly by making a sudden confession of love, saying, “I want to live for Jimin now.” In the chilly atmosphere, Kim Jun-ho suddenly suggested, “How about we decide on sleeping arrangements and sleep outside as a punishment?” and after a competition of ‘catching the sausages hanging from the waist with one‘s mouth, Yoo Se-yoon came in last.





The long-awaited ‘Beef Head Boiled Pork’ was finally completed, and the ‘Dokbaks’ gathered in the yard were happy to taste each part of the beef head boiled pork cut by part by Jang Dong-min’s mother. Kim Dae-hee said, “Each part has a different chewy taste. He said, “Even if it’s 100,000 won per person, it’s not a big deal,” and “Let’s give 500,000 won to mom as a reward.” Then, the “Dokbaks” played the last Dokbak game using the character Younghee toy from the “Squid Game.” Here, Kim Dae-hee won the Dokbak and happily paid 500,000 won. In addition, Yoo Se-yoon, who was punished for “sleeping outside,” pitched a tent alone in the yard and fell asleep, showing the greatness of the “Dokbak spirit” of “If I get caught, I’ll do it no matter what.”
