'2 Days & 1 Night' new members Lee Yong-jin and Lee Ki-tae's first joining scenes were revealed.

In the episode of KBS 2TV variety program '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' (hereinafter '2 Days & 1 Night') broadcast on the 7th, the first story of a 'self-sufficient remote area trip' with new members Lee Yong-jin and Lee Ki-tae was unveiled.

Lee Yong-jin and Lee Ki-tae shared their thoughts and determination as new family members of '2 Days & 1 Night' and greeted viewers. Their excitement quickly faded as the production team assigned the two a pickup mission: each must transport two members in a vehicle to the opening location.

Hearing the production team's warning that the team arriving late at the opening location would face a massive penalty, the two immediately began locating the members. While 'veteran' Lee Yong-jin quickly mapped out the route and moved strategically, 'variety show rookie' Lee Ki-tae made an uneasy start by calling Dindin before even departing from the KBS building.

Lee Ki-tae then attempted to coordinate with Kim Jong-min after calling Dindin. He claimed, "I contacted the senior first," attempting bold bluffing against the eldest member, but Kim Jong-min, already aware that Dindin had been contacted first, teased the rookie youngest member by asking, "Why did you lie?" showcasing a 'push-and-pull' typical of a veteran variety show personality.

While intense eye-reading battles unfolded among the existing members, Lee Yong-jin picked up Moon Se-yoon and Lee Jun, while Lee Ki-tae picked up Kim Jong-min and Dindin, heading to the opening location, Yangpyeong Dumulmeori. The team that arrived first at the destination was Ki-tae's team, while Yong-jin's team, which lost the pickup mission, received the penalty of having their personal bags confiscated.

After completing the opening shoot, the '2 Days & 1 Night' team moved together by bus to the next mission location. The six members, who had grown noticeably closer while laughing and chatting, displayed a cheerful chemistry that seemed unbelievable for their first shoot, further enhancing the warm and friendly filming atmosphere.

Upon arriving at the rest stop, the six members faced a team competition mission where the team that took longer to receive a lunch meal featuring Hanwoo beef would lose. In the first round, where teams had to guess the total price of the listed foods first, Lee Yong-jin alone caught an error that no one else noticed, securing the correct answer and taking the lead. He also won the second round, which was a mission for the team captain alone, leading the Yong-jin team to victory in the rest stop mission and securing a 10-minute meal time first.

The two teams resumed their journey to the destination and conducted the 'Running Quiz Bus' mission inside the bus, which allowed them to add 10 minutes to their meal time. Particularly, an intense battle of pride unfolded between Lee Yong-jin and Dindin, who served as the 'brains' for their respective teams. Dindin did not cease his vigilance toward his natural enemy, Lee Yong-jin, by comparing, "If I'm a 'rat,' then Yong-jin hyung is a 'nutria'."

The 'Running Quiz Bus' mission concluded with a victory for the Yong-jin team after a close contest that went down to the final question. The Ki-tae team, having lost both missions consecutively, managed to secure only a 6-minute meal time. To make matters worse, they also lost an additional game of chance conducted for 1 minute, facing the worst-case scenario of having to finish their meal within a 5-minute time limit. With Lee Yong-jin's mockery added to the mix after his complete victory in the quiz battle, Dindin could no longer contain his irritation.

Ultimately, Kim Jong-min, Dindin, and Lee Ki-tae employed a strategy of placing meat on the grill and then going outside to stop the timer, utilizing their allotted 5 minutes as much as possible. Unlike the Yong-jin team, which enjoyed their meal leisurely, the three quickly devoured the meat upon entering the restaurant, finishing their arduous lunch.

After the meal, the bus carrying the '2 Days & 1 Night' team headed toward a dimly lit mountain road with increasingly few people. The six members, filled with anxiety, disembarked and, since this was a self-sufficient trip, carried all their luggage themselves, moving on foot. They had to cross a freezing-cold river barefoot, a sight that naturally drew screams.

The viewership rating for that day's broadcast was 7.1% nationwide according to Nielsen Korea, maintaining the number one spot in its time slot. The scene where members took off their shoes and crossed the cold stream water to head to the base camp recorded a peak viewership of 10.1% in the Bundang area. The 2049 viewership rating also reached 2.1% in the Seoul metropolitan area, securing the number one spot in its time slot.
