According to a video from the YouTube channel Dongchimi, the cast members visited a hot spring with volcanic ash in the Philippines to enjoy unique heat therapy and subsequently engaged in a golf competition.

Philippine hot spring reached after passing through volcanic ash canyons, "I wanted to come with my wife"

The cast members traveled to the volcanic ash hot spring in the Philippines using a four-wheel drive jeep on unpaved roads. In the video, the cast members moved while facing landscapes of black sand made of volcanic ash and canyons. The hot spring they arrived at is a place where heat therapy using volcanic ash is possible, and the cast members spent time performing heat therapy using the volcanic ash. This location featured a unique landscape where hot spring mountains and palm trees existed together.

During this process, Yoon Suk-min expressed his longing for his wife, saying, "I really wanted to come here with my wife." Other cast members also shared their honest feelings, thinking of their families, remembering their parents, or mentioning the preciousness of family trips. After finishing the volcanic ash heat therapy, the cast members were seen relieving fatigue through the heat therapy process conducted on-site. In particular, as services such as foot massages continued during the heat therapy process, the cast members expressed satisfaction, saying, "It's heaven."

Pro baseball player Yoon Suk-min's golf challenge, "The first swing in two and a half years"

After finishing the schedule at the hot spring, the cast members moved to a golf course to compete. In particular, Yoon Suk-min, a former professional baseball player, was reported to have picked up a golf club for the first time in about two and a half years. The match that day was conducted in a format where the team of Yoon Suk-min and Kim Hyun-tae faced against the team of Kim Dae-hyun. The game was played in a 'best ball' format, where each team's score is calculated by selecting the best shot among the balls hit by each team member.

Yoon Suk-min took the early momentum by demonstrating the long-hitting ability characteristic of a baseball player. In the video, Yoon Suk-min sent the ball far, drawing reactions like, "The distance really goes far." However, due to the long hiatus from rounding, he also experienced difficulties with his swing. Yoon Suk-min expressed regret regarding the phenomenon of the clubhead opening at the top of the backswing, saying, "The mouth is closed, but the head opened." Yoon Suk-min also showed signs of struggling, such as sending the ball into the OB (out of bounds) area during the match, but he participated in the game by showing swings worthy of a former professional.

A competition mixed with hostility and a friendly conclusion

As the golf match progressed, a strange sense of competitiveness and hostility formed among the cast members. One cast member gave a joking reaction, saying, "Since we are suddenly playing golf, there is a bit too much hostility toward each other." The match continued by totaling the scores of each hole, and the cast members continued the joy of the trip by giving advice on each other's swings or lamenting mistakes. The video concluded by finishing the unique course that combined hot springs and golf.
