Mixed martial artist Sung Si-hoon, singer Kim Jong-kook, and BIGBANG's Daesung began the first journey of "Real Men" in Kyushu, Japan.
The first episode of SBS Plus's variety program "Real Men's Travel Style," aired on the evening of the 21st, depicted the three men embarking on their inaugural trip to Kyushu, Japan.

Upon arriving in Kyushu and commencing their journey, as Kim Jong-kook gazed out the car window and exclaimed, "The scenery is truly beautiful," Daesung responded with laughter, saying, "I didn't know you had an F (emotional) side, Jong-kook hyung. You're actually a 'soft man' who gets moved by scenery, while Sung Si-hoon hyung is the true 'real man.'"
The trio also felt their global popularity firsthand at a local restaurant. When a 2013-born local fan immediately recognized Daesung and expressed her admiration, Daesung readily agreed to take photos after the meal. Additionally, when a chef revealed he was a long-time fan of Yano Shiho, Sung Si-hoon immediately connected him via phone call.
Next, the three participated in a Japanese sauna experience themed as the "Real Men Festival." As BIGBANG's songs played inside the sauna, the trio danced amidst the heat, continuously splashing water and releasing energy. Daesung's pained expression as he endured the cascading water streams drew viewers' attention.

The highlight of the trip was the "insect vending machine" experience. Even the bold "real men" crumbled before the insects. Kim Jong-kook ate a caterpillar, wrinkled his nose, and said, "It smells," while Daesung, though visibly suffering, successfully tasted a scorpion. Sung Si-hoon, who usually projects a strong image, gagged from the insect odor and appeared to be in pain.
Especially upon seeing the final menu item, the water strider, Sung Si-hoon exclaimed, "Isn't that a cockroach? Let's really not do this," but ultimately completed the water strider tasting under Kim Jong-kook's goading, concluding the "real man" certification ritual.
Meanwhile, the three men's Kyushu travelogue, featuring their bold humor and surprising charm, can be viewed every Tuesday night on SBS Plus.
