During a 1-on-1 match between best friends Miyeon and Chuu, an ultra-immersive situation breaks out where they even use video review to determine who is right.
In the 6th episode of ‘City Z in the Country’ (hereafter referred to as Country Z), which will air on ENA-E Channel at 8:30 PM on the 13th, Chuu, Zerobaseone members Sung Hanbin and Seok Matthew will be portrayed taking on the challenge of becoming ‘Sancheong Ambassadors’ while participating in various challenges together at ‘Namsayedamchon’ in Sancheong, Gyeongsangnam-do.
In this, Miyeon and Chuu‘s 4-year friendship is shaken by a tumultuous showdown of competitive spirit. On this day, Miyeon and Chuu step onto the mat for the ‘Towel Grab and Push’ game, where they test their strength while holding onto a towel. When asked “How long have you been best friends?”, the two say “Four years”, and “We spent our breaks together. Even when we were tired, we came over at night and played together”,“ and show off their deep friendship by hugging each other.
However, when the teammates encourage them by saying “We have to win!”, Miyeon says “It’s a game, so... ” and then suddenly takes off her shoes, showing off her barefoot fighting spirit, and eventually, saying “This is not a good position”, she subtly changes positions, making everyone burst into laughter with her self-proclaimed ‘goddess of competitive spirit’.
Then, the two face each other on the mat and grab the towel, and as soon as they put all their strength into it, they start a proper push and pull. The fight became more intense than expected, and Miyeon ended up lying down on the mat and even requested a video review. The curiosity about the result of the ‘Battle of Mats’, which will turn the emergency light on in the two‘s strong 4-year friendship, is growing.
Then, Seok Matthew turns the scene upside down with his unrivaled 4-dimensional entertainment sense. On this day, Seok Matthew takes on the new word challenge where he has to write the words on the blackboard by answering the quiz posed by the host. However, Seok Matthew gives an outrageous answer due to his poor Korean, drawing a shocking reaction of “Do you know what it is?” Everyone on set was surprised by the one word written by the variety show gem Seok Matthew, and attention is focused on Seok Matthew’s performance.
The production team said, ”Miyeon, Chuu, and Seok Matthew will make you burst into laughter with their entertainment sense that goes beyond imagination,“ and added, ”Please watch to see who will be crowned the honorable Gyeongnam Sancheong Ambassador after everyone engaged in a fierce challenge without giving an inch.“
