Jun Hyun-moo's Impromptu Trip to Kazakhstan... Almaty to Kolsai Lake '10-Hour Round Trip' Troublesome Travel Story

Broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo experienced an unexpected situation during an impromptu overseas trip. When given a 1-night, 2-day break, Jeon Hyun-moo headed to the airport early in the morning to start his trip. He packed lightly, carrying only his passport and international driver’s license in a backpack, and departed without a specific travel plan. Jeon Hyun-moo stated, ″If I have even one day free, I go out, but if I have two days, I definitely go abroad,″ expressing his desire to gain new stimuli in unfamiliar environments despite his busy schedule. He also said he would not regret even if he ended up returning home after a failed attempt at the airport. After much consideration, the travel destination was decided as Almaty, Kazakhstan. Jeon Hyun-moo planned to return the same day according to his morning schedule during the 50 hours of free time and go straight to filming. Although the one-way flight took seven hours, Jeon Hyun-moo appeared confident. The Rainbow members expressed surprise, saying, ″Even people whose homeland is Kazakhstan wouldn’t go like that.″ After booking the plane ticket, Jeon Hyun-moo quickly reserved accommodation and a rental car at the airport. Upon arriving at Almaty Airport, Jeon Hyun-moo, determined not to waste time, finished his meal with a hamburger and visited the market ″Green Bazaar.″ He revealed that the locals recognizing him made him realize the global popularity of ″I Live Alone.″ Then, he had dinner at a lamb restaurant recommended by Koo Sung-hwan and Lee Joo-seung, who had experience filming in Kazakhstan. After the meal, Jeon Hyun-moo planned to head to Kolsai Lake, recommended by Koo Sung-hwan. Although Koo Sung-hwan said it would take one hour to get to the lake, the actual distance took about 4 hours and 30 minutes to 5 hours. Jeon Hyun-moo trusted Koo Sung-hwan’s words and booked accommodation near the lake but expressed his embarrassment, saying, ″It’s 11 p.m., so if it’s a 5-hour distance, I’ll arrive in the morning. The remaining travel time is about 20 hours, but I have to drive 10 hours round trip.″ Koo Sung-hwan apologized, saying, ″I was talking with Joo-seung, so it only felt like an hour. Sorry.″ Kim Shin-young even said, ″At this point, you could grab him by the collar.″ Among the Rainbow members, opinions were divided about visiting the lake. The preview showed Jeon Hyun-moo driving in the dark and arriving at the accommodation. Jeon Hyun-moo marveled, saying, ″If I had been at home, I would have been lying on the sofa. I almost died without knowing this. Seeing such a sight in just two days is so enchanting. I understand what it means to say it’s tearfully beautiful.″ The scene where he takes off his clothes and runs into the water will be revealed in next week’s broadcast.
