MONSTA X's Minhyuk Embarks on a Virtual Cycling Tour of Korea in 'Follow Me, Ring Ring'

Lee Min-hyuk from the K-pop group MONSTA X is set to introduce picturesque cycling routes across South Korea through the new content series, 'Follow Me, Ring Ring' (literal translation).

Produced by the Korea Tourism Organization, this project aims to showcase the beauty of the country to both domestic and international fans. In the series, Minhyuk, who is new to cycling, explores various stunning bike paths featuring coasts, mountains, and rivers, while also promoting nearby tourist attractions.

The content highlights routes selected in the '60 Representative Courses for Free Bicycle Travel in Korea' by the Korea Tourism Organization, as well as other paths recognized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism for promoting bicycle tourism.

The first episode, released on the Korea Tourism Organization's YouTube channel on the 14th, featured Minhyuk customizing his helmet and guidebook before embarking on a ride. Starting from Palldang Station, he cycled through Bong-an Tunnel to Ungilsan Station, soaking in the panoramic views of the Namhangang River. Along the way, he engaged in fun activities like safety quizzes, instant camera photography, creating custom energy drinks, and enjoying local delicacies, offering viewers a diverse and entertaining experience.

New episodes of 'Follow Me, Ring Ring' are released every Friday at 5 PM KST on the Korea Tourism Organization's YouTube channel. Meanwhile, MONSTA X recently released their US digital single 'baby blue', captivating global listeners with their deepened emotions and mood.

Korean netizens are reacting positively, with comments like 'Minhyuk looks so good riding a bike!', 'I didn't know Korea had so many beautiful places! Thanks to Minhyuk, I'm learning about them,' and 'Looking forward to the next route.'
