01:58 If the Philippines has Malacanang, if the US has White House, Korea has Blue House.
02:06 But unlike the White House and Malacanang, which you can visit the other parts.
02:12 The Blue House is totally open.
02:15 No President or anyone from the Executive Office is sitting there.
02:23 It has recently been open since last year to the public.
02:27 So this is pretty much one of the major tourist destinations here in South Korea.
02:33 All parts of the Blue House can be visited.
02:39 It also includes the reception halls.
02:41 Memorabilia Gallery.
02:54 And rooms with photo walls of former presidents and first ladies of South Korea.
03:03 In order to be the first lady, you need to maintain a haircut.
03:09 Same haircut?
03:11 Maybe in the Korean tradition, where the hair is like that.
03:20 You can also see the traditional Korean house, or hanok.
03:34 And the huge garden with century old tree, one of the favorite spots of the former presidents.
03:50 We were lucky to see their local performers.
03:54 All these and more for free.
04:01 Yes, no entrance fee.
04:03 You just need an advance reservation to make sure you have a slot when you visit.
04:08 Like the Blue House, this place is also rich in history.
04:17 This mine started operating in 1962, but it was completely closed in 2001.
04:24 It's a very rich place, after it became an art complex in 2013.
04:30 Along with its restoration and preservation, they also added their creative heritage for the next generations.
04:38 One guy, Mr. Kim Min Seok, he traveled a lot of places.
04:45 He moved into this place and made art.
04:51 That's why he traveled around the world and collected antiques.
04:57 So far, 200,000 works.
05:03 From different countries?
05:05 Yes.
05:06 And there's a hidden gem here, that's very Filipino.
05:11 The main building has four floors where you can see different art installations.
05:15 The old items of the former miners are also displayed.
05:22 Even the former underground mining site can be visited.
05:39 This is the fourth floor.
05:41 You're good.
05:44 You can see your reflection, but it's not that clear because there's dirt.
05:49 Fairness, I appreciate your art.
05:52 You're good.
05:54 Your face is art.
05:55 That's your face, not art.
05:57 Let's go.
05:58 No.
06:00 We're in South Korea.
06:04 Let's try the authentic K-food.
06:06 In the province of Gangwon, side dishes are overloaded in traditional Korean restaurants.
06:12 I've never tried this.
06:14 Actually, we haven't eaten this for a long time.
06:19 We used to eat this a lot.
06:22 It's good.
06:28 It's delicious.
06:30 It's like fried fish fillet with tartar sauce.
06:35 Okay.
06:36 This is like kimchi.
06:39 Is it?
06:42 Yes?
06:43 Go.
06:44 Some sort of salad, right?
06:46 If we eat this, you won't have anything left.
06:52 You won't have anything left.
06:53 You're so mean.
06:54 They know me.
06:55 But they don't know me.
06:58 That's right.
06:59 Oh my God, it's delicious.
07:04 It's raw meat with sesame oil.
07:07 Wow.
07:08 Raw meat?
07:09 It's so good.
07:10 Really?
07:11 It's so good.
07:13 Right?
07:14 It's not sweet.
07:15 It's good.
07:16 It's sweet.
07:17 See, mom?
07:23 This is what we always eat.
07:25 We call it sukiyaki because it's beef strips and rice noodles.
07:33 And then, it puts sugar in it to make it sweet.
07:37 You're so angry because I bought it for you.
07:40 Eat it.
07:42 Up the mountains we go, guys.
07:50 It's also called Korea's Ski Mecca.
07:53 At largest ski and snowboarding resort in South Korea,
07:56 this resort is located at Mount Balwangsan.
08:00 Even if we didn't make it to the winter season, it's still worth it.
08:04 ATV experience with the squad achieved here for Php 600 to Php 800.
08:10 If the sightseeing is just right,
08:12 ride their cable car where a surprise is waiting for you at the end.
08:16 The wind is so nice.
08:22 And the cold makes you feel how hot you are.
08:27 [Music]
08:35 Okay, sir.
08:37 While I was walking around the skywalk, I realized that the wind is off.
08:43 So, here, if you go to the west side of the skywalk,
08:48 the wind is here.
08:50 Here in the south.
08:52 But, if you step here,
08:54 relax.
08:57 There's a huge difference.
08:59 Let's go here again.
09:00 Let's turn on the aircon.
09:02 Oh, it's cold.
09:05 [Music]
09:15 If the Mrs. is just chilling on the top of the mountain,
09:19 I'll surprise her.
09:21 Because I'm the first one to ride.
09:24 Sir, what you need to do after securing your ticket,
09:29 you need to ride the lift.
09:31 It can lift your bikes up and you yourself.
09:34 Also, you can ride my mountain coaster up to the top.
09:38 And that's pretty much 1,300 kilometers up there.
09:44 Of course, what goes up must come down.
09:48 And that's the best part.
09:51 Isn't it fun in South Korea?
09:54 It's fun in Korba.
09:57 Because you'll break, you'll slow down,
10:00 you want to go faster.
10:01 Anyway, the scenery is beautiful.
10:04 The speed is so fun because it can reach around 40 kph apparently.
10:09 But you feel like you're going faster there because you don't have a helmet,
10:13 you don't have a windshield or whatever.
10:15 Views were spectacular.
10:17 If we say that you're not a smiling person,
10:21 it's impossible that you won't smile after this.
10:24 It's impossible.
10:25 Wellness centers in South Korea are also perfect spots for nature tripping.
10:34 Now, there are more than 40 wellness centers here.
10:44 They're really serious and they're saying that health is wealth.
10:49 Good job, guys.
10:50 High One is one of the famous wellness centers for their trekking activity.
11:01 Alright, guys.
11:02 We're here at one of the tourist destinations on this side of Korea.
11:07 We're going to High One.
11:10 People go to High One, pretty much the whole family,
11:15 adults and kids alike because of their trails.
11:19 They have pretty much four main trails of the Hanyulgil trekking area.
11:26 And you have like average of 5 km trails and then their longest one is 17 km.
11:35 The trail that we're going to is…
11:37 It's a beach.
11:38 It's a beach.
11:39 No, no, 17 km is easier.
11:44 Therapeutic for Koreans is hiking.
11:48 That's why, like this, there are many accessible walking trails that will make kids and kids at heart happy.
12:05 I say, let's fight for physical and mental well-being.
12:09 You gotta love this, Biaheros.
12:12 I'm getting more active here.
12:16 I can't do this with you.
12:20 I feel so relaxed.
12:31 I'm so happy.
12:33 Namaste.
12:47 I think we're ready.
12:51 We're ready?
12:52 To challenge each other.
12:53 Okay.
12:54 You're good at yoga.
12:57 You're good at flexing.
13:01 Or flexible.
13:02 Sorry.
13:03 Do you think you can do this?
13:07 I don't think I can.
13:11 You go first.
13:13 Okay.
13:17 Next.
13:20 Okay, wait.
13:22 Wait.
13:23 Wait.
13:32 I'm so tired.
13:33 I don't think she can do it.
13:34 I don't think she can do it.
13:36 Oh my God, I'm so tired.
13:39 Wait, give me a chance.
13:42 Why can't you do it?
13:49 Because your lips are bigger.
13:51 You struggled there, guys.
13:53 I can't do it.
13:55 Let's see if you can do this.
14:00 Okay.
14:01 We're going to lift you up.
14:03 To your knees.
14:05 Okay.
14:10 And then.
14:18 Can you do it?
14:20 Oh my God.
14:22 Can you do this?
14:23 Next.
14:26 Can you do this?
14:28 Why can't Drew do it?
14:29 Wait, wait.
14:30 I need to do this.
14:31 I need to do this.
14:34 I'm sorry, Bierros.
14:36 You're so competitive with your wife.
14:38 No, I'm not.
14:40 [music playing]
14:43 [music playing]
14:45 [music playing]
14:53 [music playing]
15:10 [music playing]
15:12 [speaking Filipino]
15:15 Don't smile.
15:36 No smiling?
15:37 Don't smile.
15:38 Not in the future.
15:39 No smile.
15:40 No wrinkle.
15:41 One more time.
15:45 Just have you close your eyes.
15:46 Ten is perfect.
15:52 Five is average.
15:54 Higher score means better skin.
15:56 Got it.
15:57 Will there be any recommendations?
16:00 There you go.
16:01 I told you.
16:03 I told you.
16:04 Let me try again.
16:05 No, not try.
16:07 Not try.
16:08 It was over than average.
16:09 Very good score.
16:10 If you can take care of the top of the head.
16:13 Ah, there you go.
16:14 See.
16:15 They don't let me sleep, my team.
16:16 They don't let me sleep.
16:17 We travel all the time.
16:18 Yeah, yeah.
16:19 I need more sleep.
16:22 The others, all good.
16:23 Like no trouble.
16:24 No trouble.
16:25 Everything good.
16:26 I think the problem is my wife.
16:29 Stress with my wife.
16:31 Maybe.
16:32 Tell her.
16:33 And I think I need to drink more soju.
16:35 Oh.
16:36 Maybe.
16:37 Maybe.
16:38 Noted with love, guys.
16:40 For the return of the Idol Loop Project.
16:43 Pack.
16:44 Since K-Beauty is also in trouble.
16:46 Let's talk about the biggest beauty trend in Korea.
16:48 And the personal color analysis is also popular in other countries.
16:52 In the end of the expert,
16:55 you will know which color suits you the most.
16:58 Makeup or clothes.
17:00 If the color is right,
17:02 you will look more beautiful.
17:04 You can do that here in Beauty Play.
17:06 For free.
17:07 This is the most popular beauty attraction in Myeongdong.
17:10 Will Mrs. A catch up?
17:14 To know your personal color,
17:17 you can try this all by yourself.
17:20 It doesn't suit me.
17:21 Too much.
17:24 I can't say it.
17:27 Does it suit me?
17:28 No.
17:29 But you can also help with an app.
17:31 Really?
17:32 Really?
17:34 I'm not really this color.
17:36 Let's try it.
17:37 Let's give it a chance.
17:38 Maybe I'll look more beautiful.
17:42 And to have a more accurate and clear recommended color for you,
17:47 you can also consult an expert.
17:49 I'm also a cowboy here.
17:51 What color do I like the most?
17:56 I like...
17:57 I normally wear...
17:58 I don't like colors.
17:59 Or maroon.
18:00 I like maroon.
18:01 So for example, I can wear it as maybe pants.
18:04 Or my bag.
18:06 Or shoes.
18:07 Or shoes.
18:08 But you should put it away from the face.
18:11 So it won't be seen.
18:13 It won't be seen by the eyes.
18:15 You're beautiful, but I can't see you.
18:18 Aside from personal color analysis,
18:22 they also have a free makeover.
18:24 Will Mrs. A achieve the K-pop idol look?
18:26 The new K-pop idol will surprise you all.
18:31 EOV!
18:33 What's fun about Beauty Plate is that everything is free.
18:41 And you know why?
18:43 Because the purpose of this place really is to give the small scale beauty products
18:49 and beauty businesses a chance to make a difference.
18:52 So I guess the products here are the start-ups of beauty companies.
19:00 So at least I guess they bring it all here for people to try
19:04 and for their products to be discovered and to be used.
19:08 It's just fun.
19:10 Free.
19:12 Free.
19:14 I like it.
19:16 Sometimes we just have to make a choice.
19:19 Because sometimes we can only be with Mrs. A,
19:23 we can't be without a partner.
19:25 Every trip is worth it.
19:27 The Romantic of Viajero Way.
19:29 Ahem, ahem, ahem.
19:31 Bogie points alert.
19:32 Don't be disappointed.
19:34 I have a surprise for you.
19:36 See?
19:37 What?
19:38 What do you mean, what?
19:39 Let's ride.
19:41 Wow, it's fun.
19:43 Sweet.
19:44 Wow, it's so big.
19:48 What?
19:49 Is it just us?
19:50 Or why is the yacht so big?
19:53 Wow.
19:54 Hey, where are you looking?
19:55 Here.
19:56 Where?
19:57 Here.
19:58 There.
19:59 There.
20:00 Wow, it's still beautiful.
20:02 No, it's a float.
20:03 It's the same.
20:04 Okay, okay.
20:05 It's beautiful.
20:06 I made it smaller to make it more romantic.
20:08 That's perfect.
20:09 Right?
20:10 Wow.
20:16 In 1986, the Han River started to have river cruise.
20:20 And until now, it's still one of the places that's been in South Korea.
20:24 You can see the breathtaking and K-drama feel sceneries in the east and west side of Seoul.
20:30 We wanna say thank you by showing you a piece of heaven which is South Korea.
20:39 And a piece of my heaven which is Ia Villan.
20:42 Wow.
20:44 Pack up.
20:45 This is it, guys.
20:47 This is number five.
20:48 South Korea is waving beeros.
20:51 It's giving happy feel.
20:53 I'm sure you'll be happy when you travel here.
21:00 And it's more memorable because I'm with my one and only Jacky.
21:05 Thank you, South Korea.
21:08 See ya!
