Kim Jun-ho, who is about to get married, postpones his surgery and heads to Egypt (Solo Tour 3)

Kim Jun-ho of ‘Solo Tour 3’ postponed his surgery and left for Egypt.

Episode 24 of ‘Ni Don Nae San Solo Tour 3’ (jointly produced by Channel S, SK Broadband, K-star, and NXT) that aired on the 8th showed Kim Dae-hee x Kim Jun-ho x Jang Dong-min x Yoo Se-yoon x Hong In-kyu leaving for Cairo, Egypt to see the pyramids, one of the ‘New Seven Wonders of the World’.

‘Solo Tour’ For the first time in the previous season, the ‘Solo Parks’ advanced to the African continent following Europe. After finishing the ‘Friend‘s House Solo Tour’ at Jang Dong-min’s home in Wonju, Gangwon-do, they began selecting a new travel destination. Jang Dong-min said, “This time, I want to go far away from Southeast Asia,” and Kim Jun-ho suggested, “How about Egypt, which appears in many movies?” The “Dokbaks” unanimously decided to go to Egypt and boarded the plane. Above all, Kim Jun-ho showed his true loyalty and affection for the “Dokbak Tour” by postponing his cervical disc surgery date and participating in the Egypt trip.

After an 18-hour flight, the “Dokbaks” arrived in Cairo and headed to the “Koshari Restaurant.” The “Dokbaks” tasted “Koshari” (Egyptian grain bibimbap), an Egyptian national dish and a must-visit tourist attraction, and said, “It tastes like High Rise,” and “It also feels like Korean bibimbap,” and ate their plates clean. Meanwhile, Jang Dong-min greeted the Korean tourists sitting nearby, and Kim Jun-ho suggested, “Let‘s play the ‘Dokbak Game’ and pay for their meals,” and the ‘Dokbak Game’ with the tourists began. When the tourists play ‘Rock-Paper-Scissors-Leave-One’,’ they have to predict who will win. Hong In-gyu narrowly failed to predict the winner and became the ‘Dokbakja’. Nevertheless, he coolly paid for the meal and showed good manners by taking a commemorative photo with the Korean tourists.

After finishing the meal, the ‘Dokbakja’ moved to ‘Khan el-Khalili’, a traditional Egyptian market. In this market, which is a representative market of the Middle East with over 640 years of history and is called ‘Egypt’s general store’, the ‘Dokbaks’ started shopping, saying, “Let‘s buy the clothes we will wear on our ‘Pyramid’ tour tomorrow here”. Later, at a clothing store, Kim Jun-ho put on a turban recommended by an employee and happily said, “Do I look like a rich man?”.

However, Jang Dong-min was careful about purchasing clothes, considering that Egypt has a bargaining culture rather than a fixed price system. He displayed his decisive negotiation skills and earned the respect of the ‘Dokbaks’. Unlike Jang Dong-min, who instantly became the ‘Egyptian bargaining king’, Kim Jun-ho, Kim Dae-hee, and Yoo Se-yoon said, “It seems like we were taken advantage of... ”, he worried about the ‘bagi’ and let out a sigh of relief.

After finishing shopping for clothes, the ‘Dokbaks’ went to a cafe in the market and drank mango juice while playing the ‘Dokbak Game’ for the ‘cost of purchasing traditional costumes’. They decided to ‘Dokbakja’ by ‘randomly drawing toothpicks’, and Kim Jun-ho, who spent the most money in the market, became the ‘Dokbakja’ without a surprise. Everyone pointed to Kim Jun-ho and excitedly sang the ‘Dokbak Song’. However, local merchants suddenly rushed in and started ‘singing in unison’. Eventually, a violinist joined in, and the scene became a concert hall, and Yoo Se-yoon attempted to escape from the never-ending feast of songs, saying, “This is singing hell!”

When evening fell, Kim Dae-hee led the ‘Dokbakz’ to a lodging facility that had a ‘pyramid view’ and even a ‘pyramid light show’, saying, “Our eldest daughter found this for us’. The ‘Dokbakz’, who split into two taxis, made a ‘taxi fare bet’, saying, “Since taxi fares aren’t fixed, let‘s decide who pays the cheaper taxi fare will win the ‘Dokbak game’.’. Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, and Hong In-gyu, who were in the same car, said to the taxi driver, “I love you, Egypt! Mohamed Salah, I love you!” and after a while, the ‘Dokbakz’ arrived at their lodging and compared their taxi fares.

Hong In-gyu’s earnest appeal worked, as the taxi Hong In-gyu rode in was cheaper than the taxis taken by ‘Haggling Kings’ Jang Dong-min and Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu‘s team was delighted. After that, they played an additional game, in which Jang Dong-min came in last. The ‘Dokbakz’, whose tension was high, continued the game for lodging costs and sleeping arrangements, and while Jang Dong-min, who was full of venom, came in first, Kim Dae-hee came in last.

The next morning, the ‘Dokbakz’ woke up in awe at the clear view of the pyramids and played a ‘Jenga game’ for the transportation costs to the pyramids and the fee for using the paid restroom. After a fierce battle, Hong In-gyu, who suggested the ‘Jenga Game’, suffered the humiliation of coming in last and became the ‘3 Dok’. While everyone except Hong In-gyu cheered, the ‘Dokbakz’ changed into traditional Egyptian attire, met a local guide, and set off on the long-awaited pyramid tour.

The ‘Dokbakz’’s Egypt travel story as they welcome the majestic pyramids will continue on ‘Nidonnaesan Dokbak Tour 3’, which airs on the 15th (Sat) at 8:20 PM. ‘Dokbak Tour 3’ will air simultaneously on Channel S, K-star, and NXT.
