The hilarious Shin sibling's Taiwan trip begins [Battle Trip / 2017.05.28]

(Numerous great tips on trips)
(Lee Hwijae, Kim Sook)
(Special host, Seo Hyorim, Sung Sikyung)
Travel is war. Battle Trip!
Just like last week the studio today is...
- Very bright. / - Is brighter, right?
- Welcome aboard, Hyorim. / - Welcome.
Nice to meet you. I'm Seo Hyorim.
Last time, I was here as a trip designer.
It feels fresh this time since
I'm here as a special host.
I'm full of expectation today.
You left such a big impression on us.
Compared to how fragile you look...
- You ate so much. / - She ate a lot.
- She stuffed herself. / - She ate so well.
And she downed all beverages in a single shot.
Since then, whenever I go to restaurants,
waiters ask me if I need a straw.
They always offer me one.
That's because you down the drinks with a straw.
They offer you one with draft beer?
- Yes, and soju as well. / - Goodness.
This is a spot for people who know how to enjoy life.
- That's right. At the time... / - The Czech Republic...
- Won by a landslide. / - That's right.
We still haven't had a team with more votes, right?
Right.
- Czech Republic is still no. 1. / - It's outright on top.
- Yes, it is. / - I was so upset.
You lost because you were with Hwijae.
I know.
- So I feel confident today. / - You must win.
- I feel confident. / - We make a good team.
- You two look good together. / - You do.
You two look great together.
I'm always looking down at Kim Sook like this...
- But now... / - You have matching height.
Since she likes to travel,
I think Hyorim might have some tips.
Do you? How about cheaper accommodations?
I like to make 3 to 4 reservations at the same hotel.
But I make sure cancellations are free.
When accommodations are non-refundable,
they tend to be around $50 to $100 cheaper.
But if you just book those from the start...
- And your plans change... / - You end up paying more.
- You won't get a refund. / - I see.
You're right.
When you were last here,
you travelled to two countries on one ticket, right?
Yes, it was a stopover trip.
Now then, let's view today's request.
- Let's take a look. / - Alright.
Hello, I'm Kang Min,
a Battle Trip enthusiast and office worker.
I'm planning on a trip with some friends soon.
Between Hong Kong and Taiwan,
I'd like Battle Trip...
- To show me which is better... / - That's hard.
- For a friendship trip. / - Hong Kong or Taiwan.
- Please design us a trip. / - A hard choice.
They're similar but different.
- It's Hong Kong versus Taiwan. / - Isn't this like...
Comparing Bundang to Ilsan?
- That's right. / - It's similar but different.
- It's similar. / - But Hong Kong and Taiwan...
Have both been featured on the show before.
That's right.
Hwijae really liked Hong Kong.
- With Hong Seokcheon. / - "A Better Tomorrow."
That's right.
You were looking for the pay phone from the movie.
That was great.
For Taiwan, we had BTOB's Yuk Seongjae,
Seo Eungwang and Im Hyunsik.
We also had Ji Sangryeol and Kim Jongmin.
- They failed miserably. / - That's right.
- They failed completely. / - They had instant noodles...
And received a record low of 18 votes.
- 18 votes? / - Really? They received...
- 18 out of 100? / - Yes.
- The judges must've hated it. / - They really didn't vote.
We'll raise our expectations for Taiwan this time.
Who is it?
This week's trip designers for...
- Taiwan and Hong Kong. / - Come on out.
Hello.
- Long time no see. / - What's up?
- What's up? / - Long time no see.
(Kim Sinyeong, Shin Dong)
- Hello. / - We've won.
Kim Sook has been recommending
Hwang Bo for a long time now.
I advocated for her since the 1st episode.
I said that she must be sent to Hong Kong.
She knows everything about the city inside out.
- Whether it's fashion, food... / - She likes fashion.
Accommodations, she knows everything.
That's why I've been constantly recommending her.
She's finally here.
The true master is here.
- Sinyeong... / - We'll introduce our team as well.
Last time, you left as soon as you
were discharged from the military.
- That's right. It was right after. / - I was surprised.
You can't get a passport while serving in the military.
I departed as soon as I got discharged.
It felt so good.
The Taiwan that we're about to show you...
- It's even more fun. / - You'll be shocked.
- You went with Lee Teuk last time. / - That's right.
Out of Lee Teuk and Sinyeong...
- Who do you prefer as a travel partner? / - Sinyeong.
- I see. / - Don't you remember?
- We lost because of Lee Teuk. / - That's right.
- His jokes weren't funny. / - He kept making corny jokes.
- He didn't eat well. / - And he couldn't drink.
- The whole trip was about alcohol too. / - Sinyeong...
Sinyeong doesn't drink though. She quit.
(What are you talking about?)
- I just took a brief break. / - Really?
Today's request asked for two very specific countries.
We have Taiwan and Hong Kong.
But Hwang Bo will obviously be going to Hong Kong.
How many times have you been there, Hwang Bo?
- She lived there. / - I lived there.
- For how long? / - About a year and a half.
- Can you speak Chinese then? / - No.
But you can.
They use English in Hong Kong.
You just have to know the place you live in Chinese.
Regardless, Hwang Bo can speak English so...
- That's right. / - And she lived there too.
Plus she lived in Hong Kong.
But Shin Dong is a Super Junior member.
- They're well-known in Taiwan. / - People forget.
- Korean Wave star. / - Shin Dong...
- I am a singer. / - He's Super Junior.
Why are you laughing at that?
- I am a singer. / - Super Junior...
How many weeks did they top
the Taiwan music charts with "Sorry Sorry?"
- That's right. / - In Taiwan...
- 110 weeks. / - No. It was more than 120 weeks.
- That's right. / - 1st place for 120 weeks.
- 2 years. / - If that's the case...
Wouldn't it be very uncomfortable travelling to Taiwan?
The crowds will recognize you.
People will ask for your autograph while you eat.
But the strange thing is,
people don't go wild when they see me.
They just ask if I'm Shin Dong and confirm that.
- That's how it goes. / - They just walk by.
So, usually it's not that difficult.
It's different to others like Siwon.
They're like, "Oh, Siwon!"
Then, "Ah, Shin Dong..." And they move on.
- "You're here?" / - Yes, yes.
We also have our 100 fair judges of the audience.
- It's nice to meet you. / - Welcome.
(Dear audience members, we love you)
- Good job. / - Very fair...
Well, who will be going first today?
Hyorim is here as a special host.
- Please choose for us. / - Please do.
I've been to Hong Kong often but not Taiwan.
Personally, I'm expecting a lot from the Taiwan trip.
I'd like to see Taiwan first.
Travellers from Korea tend to visit Hong Kong more.
- That's right. / - You're right.
Hong Kong is kind of obvious.
Do you really think so? I've lived there.
I've been to Taiwan as well.
Then what is your honest opinion?
- You're not a good liar. / - It was so much fun.
- She's not a good liar. / - What was that?
- Hold on. / - She did mention one thing though.
She said Hong Kong has much better food.
- That's true. / - It's incomparable.
It's not that Taiwanese food is bad.
But as a travel destination, Hong Kong has better food.
- It's so tasty. / - Please tell us your focal point.
We designed a completely different trip
compared to what came before.
We will introduce you to
a never-before-seen hidden location.
- Shall we go then? / - Alright. Let's go.
- Go to Taiwan! / - Don't go to Taiwan!
- If you're going to regret it... / - Just go to Taiwan!
Check out our Taiwan trip!
Hello, I'm Kim Sinyeong the comedian.
Hello, I'm... Hold on. I'm a singer.
I forgot my job title for a second.
You two make a great pair.
- They're relaxed. / - Hello, I'm comedian Kim Sinyeong.
And I'm entertainer Shin Dong.
- So pretty. / - We went to Taiwan heaps.
- You did. / - You know, right?
On the Taiwan K-pop charts... We...
- 110 weeks. / - It was 100 plus weeks.
That's pretty much 2 to 3 years.
Then our song continued and with "Mr. Simple,"
it was a total of 108 weeks or something.
That's impressive.
- But... / - But?
- You've never been out before, right? / - Right.
You only stayed at the hotel.
Yeah...
I'd arrive at the airport, head to the hotel,
rehearse and return to the hotel.
We'd then perform, return to the hotel,
then the airport, then home.
I've never been to Taiwan before.
First of all, Taiwan is hot, right?
I looked it up. It's about 10℃ hotter.
Taiwan is also humid.
Let's look it up on this.
This tells you Taiwan weather?
How's the weather in Taiwan?
- It's going to be sunny. / - Wow.
- It's way too hot. / - It's pretty much summer.
- It's like summer. / - It's pretty hot.
Rain, rain, rain, rain.
- Oh, no. / - It's 29℃ but it's raining.
50% of the success of the trip
is dependent on the weather.
I'm sorry but it always rains when I travel.
- Really? / - Yes.
Me, too. It rains whenever I perform somewhere.
So you're a goblin.
It rained when I was there last time as well.
Wear a raincoat.
It rained when I was in Qingdao.
I was there when there was heavy snow
in Tokyo for the first time in 60 years.
- Really? / - Yes, really.
I was in New Zealand for a show
and there was a typhoon.
- Goodness. / - Oh, dear.
Then what we should tell them is...
- The weather has to be nice. / - Taiwan...
We need to come up with reasons to go there.
Right.
First off, what everyone wants is...
Good food that we really enjoy.
- Really? / - It's you and me after all.
- It's already game over. / - We've already won.
We introduce good food.
- Foods that Koreans can enjoy. / - Come on!
- That was delicious. / - Good job, Sinyeong.
- Good work, Sinyeong. / - That was so good.
- That's amazing. / - And also...
- We have to show them good attractions. / - Right.
The places must be unique to Taiwan.
- That's cute. / - The pictures are so scenic!
- We've won. / - We won.
- That's not in Hong Kong. / - Not in Hong Kong.
There's a place like that in Taiwan?
(Taiwan travel itinerary)
- Go to Taiwan! / - Don't go to Taiwan!
- If you're going to regret it... / - Just go to Taiwan!
- It's pleasant. / - And delightful.
- They're so cute. / - Let us depart.
