The ‘Dokbak-z’ find themselves offering prayers of repentance(?) after hearing the eerie ‘Oito Jigoku’ legend in Unzen Hot Spring Village.
In the 50th episode of Channel S’s ‘Ni-don-nae-san Dokbak Tour 4’ (jointly produced by Channel S and SK Broadband) airing May 16, Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu head to Nagasaki, Japan. The crew will be seen healing at an open-air seaside bath, and the identity of the ‘most frequent payer’—who must face the unimaginable penalty of eating ‘X-Jjamppong’—will finally be revealed.
During the trip, the ‘Dokbak-z’ are left in awe of the steam rising all around them. Kim Jun-ho explains that this area is known as the ‘Hell’ of Unzen Hot Spring Village and shares the ‘Oito Jigoku’ legend. He vividly describes a woman named ‘Oito’ who lived in Shimabara Castle long ago, cheated on her husband, got caught, and eventually killed him. Upon hearing the shocking conclusion, a trembling Hong In-gyu offers a prayer of reflection, saying, “I don’t want to go to hell. I will work harder for the peace of my family. I’ll live a good life.”
While fans will be curious about the hot spring that gave Hong In-gyu such a wake-up call, the ‘Dokbak-z’ move on to their next spot, ‘Obama Hot Spring Village.’ Kim Jun-ho clarifies that ‘Obama’ isn’t named after the former US president, but means ‘small coast’ in Japanese. The group then enters a seaside open-air bath reserved by Kim Jun-ho, taking in the breathtaking ocean view. As they marvel at the scenery, Kim Jun-ho reveals a daringly designed swimsuit he prepared specifically for the occasion. Hong In-gyu gives him a thumbs up, teasing, “Wow! Jun-ho hyung, you’re a hot girl!” Meanwhile, after wrapping up their Japanese schedule, the ‘Dokbak-z’ enter a high-tension final game to determine the ‘most frequent payer’ of the ‘Busan & Nagasaki’ trip. The episode airs on the 16th at 9 PM.
