From Himalayas to Namsan: 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?' Features Nepalese 'Wanderlust' Boys

The Nepalese boys from the Himalayas, who captured hearts as Kian84's companions in 'Wanderlust 4,' are set to appear on MBC Every1's 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?' and explore Seoul's iconic Namsan Tower.

In the episode airing today (25th), viewers will witness Rai and Tamang, two pure-hearted youths from Nepal, fulfilling their long-held dream of visiting Namsan Seoul Tower. From their first day in Korea, the friends sought out forest paths in Seoul. They insisted on climbing an uphill path, reminiscent of their daily routines in Nepal, because Namsan Tower was the place they most yearned to visit. Their desire was so strong that they sang 'Namsan!' on the way and even dreamed of the tower.

Upon arrival, Namsan Tower was bustling with crowds, partly due to the recent 'K-pop Demon Hunters' craze. However, Rai and Tamang were unfazed, enjoying the tower in their own unique 'Nepalese style.' MC Lee Hyun-yi expressed surprise at their meditative approach in an unexpected spot, and they were also taken aback by the unfamiliar elevator culture.

Unexpected challenges arose, however. Experiencing acrophobia for the first time, the boys, hailing from the land of Everest, found the towering structure intimidating. The episode leaves viewers curious whether these young adventurers can overcome their fear and fully embrace the romance of Namsan. The show airs on Thursdays at 8:30 PM.

Rai and Tamang gained widespread affection on 'Wanderlust 4' for their genuine and innocent charm while trekking with Kian84 in the Himalayas. Their positive attitude, even amidst the challenging Himalayan environment, left a lasting impression. Their adaptation and growth through new experiences in Korea are highly anticipated.
