떡볶이 파는데 떡 뽑고, 굳이 한겨울 설산…‘나영석표 생고생 예능’, 또 통할까

A new type of "authentic" variety show has returned, titled "Why Do We Do This Mountain Hiking?" This show, which debuted on Netflix, features four individuals from diverse backgrounds embarking on hikes up Korea's iconic mountains, including Seoraksan, Baekdusan, and Hallasan. The main goal of the show is to capture the real reactions of its cast members as they face the harsh conditions of nature.

The cast includes singer Katherd Deder, drummer Dowun from the band Day Six, duo Ouldeuproject's Tan, and actor I Che-min. These four stars bring their unique characters to life, from the confident Tan who refuses to give up, to Dowun who remains calm even in the face of adversity. Their camaraderie and determination set the stage for a show that combines humor with documentary-style elements.

The show has already gained popularity, ranking 3rd in the 'Today's Top 10 Korean Shows' series. Its unique take on the "life of a mountain hiker" genre offers a fresh perspective, appealing to a new generation of viewers.
