Singer Park Ji-hyun has captured the hearts of viewers with her unpredictable moments of being directionally challenged and her overwhelmingly positive charm on the premiere episode of ENA's variety show 'It's Okay to Be Directionally Challenged.'

During the episode aired on the 18th, Park Ji-hyun embarked on her first group trip to Taiwan. Despite confidently stating, "I'm sure I won't get lost. I'm smarter than I look," she quickly revealed her true nature, fumbling around the airport and showcasing her 'directionally challenged' instincts.

However, choosing laughter over tension, Park Ji-hyun displayed her unique sociability by directly asking locals for directions. This endeared her to viewers as a 'lovable, albeit clumsy, traveler.' Particularly, true to her motto, "Travel is all about momentum," she maintained her positive energy even when lost. Her delightful mukbang reactions, like exclaiming "This is it!" after tasting mala tangyuan and dim sum, brought smiles to everyone watching.

The combination with her travel companion Son Tae-jin also drew attention. While they bickered when lost, they became incredibly serious when it came to taking commemorative photos, creating a 'sweet and innocent chemistry' that belied their inexperience in variety shows.

Following the broadcast, viewers left comments such as, "She turns any situation positive," "Being directionally challenged makes her more relatable and likable," and "Park Ji-hyun and Son Tae-jin are so cute, I was delighted the whole time." Park Ji-hyun's delightful journey continues every Saturday at 7:50 PM on ENA's 'It's Okay to Be Directionally Challenged.'
