They returned to Korea two years ago when the husband changed jobs, and they say that they fell in love with the convenience of the Seoul subway, which can take them anywhere. They say that they are planning to move now that their monthly rent contract has ended, and that they are looking for a property near the subway station. The desired area is an area within an hour by subway from Gangnam Station, where their workplace is, and they hope that it will have plenty of infrastructure for things to do, such as coffee shops and beauty shops. The budget is said to be up to 200 million won for a deposit and up to 2 million won for monthly rent.

From the Bok team, MZ’s popular all-rounder comedian Lee Chang-ho will be the representative, and from the Deok team, Kim Dae-ho and Joo Woo-jae will be the representatives.

Inside the crowded subway, Lee Chang-ho recalls, “I used to use Sindorim Station often, and there were so many people that it reminded me of a battlefield.” Park Na-rae also said, “When I first went to Sindorim Station, I cried because I couldn‘t find my way. “I was lost for two hours in the labyrinthine transfer area while transferring from Line 2 to Line 1,” he confesses.

The property introduced by the three is a 20-minute walk from Seongsu Station and an 8-minute walk from Ttukseom Station, and is said to be right next to Seoul Forest. Lee Chang-ho, who was walking through Seoul Forest, said, “The best way to relieve stress is to walk without thinking. The Han River is in front of my house, and I walk there every day.” At this, Kim Dae-ho said that he took off his shoes and socks on the spot and started walking barefoot, or ‘earthing.’

Then, the three of them took the subway to Euljiro 3-ga Station. Kim Dae-ho introduces that the Euljiro Underground Shopping Mall is the longest underground shopping mall in Korea, with five stations connected and a length of approximately 3.3㎞.

Lee Chang-ho, who especially showed various reactions during the recording, occasionally directs a skit, but fails. During the studio recording, he revealed, ”I got a terrestrial wave anxiety. In fact, I had my wisdom tooth pulled the next day after the recording. I had to have my portion pulled, but I had my tooth pulled.“, causing regret.

The search for a home for the Canadian couple who got stuck in the subway will be revealed on MBC’s ‘Help Me! Holmes’ at 10 p.m. on Thursday, the 7th.
