The seven-member road trip along National Route 7 of '2 Days & 1 Night', which alternated between healing and hardship, has come to an end.

In the episode of KBS 2TV's variety program '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' (hereinafter '2 Days & 1 Night') aired on the 12th, the second story of the six members' "National Route 7 Healing Trip" was revealed.

Before heading to Gyeongju City in North Gyeongsang Province, where the base camp is located, the '2 Days & 1 Night' team visited Pohang City, the final mission location. They stopped at a Chinese restaurant famous for its red crab jjambbong, and the production team generously treated the members to the dish. With time running out until 6 p.m., when vehicle movement was restricted, the members briefly hesitated but quickly decided to finish eating and began consuming the jjambbong.

However, during the meal, dishes such as mandu (dumplings), chili shrimp, sweet and sour pork, and menbosha were served without being ordered, plunging the six members into confusion. Speculating about hidden rules, the members discovered a pattern: additional food was served whenever someone said or did something they were not supposed to. Thanks to the outstanding performance of 'Mukbang Tier 1' Moon Se-yoon, they managed to clear all the plates.

Having successfully completed the mission in Pohang and learned the base camp address, the '2 Days & 1 Night' team quickly headed toward Gyeongju City. Nevertheless, when 6 p.m. arrived with only 7 kilometers remaining to the destination, all members disembarked from their vehicle and began walking to the base camp, carrying their own luggage.

As the walking distance proved more challenging than expected, the members gradually fell silent. A golden opportunity arose for them to reach the base camp by vehicle. In the first rescue mission, Lee Jun and Lee Yong-jin won and departed for the lodging first. In the subsequent additional rescue mission, Kim Jong-min and Moon Se-yoon survived and boarded the vehicle heading to the base camp.

Dean and Lee Ki-tak, who failed to seize the rescue mission opportunity, continued their journey on foot. As darkness fell and heavy rain poured down, their bodies grew even heavier. Despite this, the two recalled their military service days, saying, "This reminds me of night marches during my time in the army," overcoming the hardships with a positive mindset.

With Dean and Lee Ki-tak's arrival, all six members gathered at the base camp and split into Team Gilgu (Moon Se-yoon, Lee Jun, Lee Ki-tak) and Team Jjalgu (Kim Jong-min, Lee Yong-jin, Dean) for the random sleep assignment "Sleep Ability Evaluation." In Round 1, "Face Stamp Fencing," Lee Jun and Lee Ki-tak secured consecutive victories, giving Team Gilgu the early lead.

In Round 2, "National Route 7 Tiger Tail Catching," Team Gilgu achieved a decisive victory, led by Lee Jun's outstanding performance in eliminating two opposing members immediately after the start. Moon Se-yoon, Lee Jun, and Lee Ki-tak, who ultimately won the random sleep assignment, secured indoor sleeping quarters. Lee Yong-jin, expected to be the ace, suffered a heartbreaking defeat in both matches, leaving Kim Jong-min and Dean visibly disappointed. Lee Yong-jin, who quickly fell from being the "brain" and "variety monster" to the "weakest link," could not hide his frustration, saying, "My skills were completely exposed after just three recording sessions."

Nevertheless, Lee Yong-jin won the rescue mission "Cut to Survive" and dramatically secured the last remaining indoor sleeping spot. Kim Jong-min and Dean, who also failed in the rescue mission, were confirmed to sleep outdoors in the rain. For the first time since joining '2 Days & 1 Night', Lee Yong-jin and Lee Ki-tak slept indoors, expressing their happiness with the experience: "Tents are nice, but this is incomparable."

The next morning, the six members conducted a weather mission to select who would travel to Busan Metropolitan City, the hidden final destination of the "National Route 7 Healing Trip." As a result, Kim Jong-min and Lee Ki-tak, who recorded the lowest scores, were unable to leave work early and boarded the vehicle heading to Busan. The two took a commemorative photo at the signpost for Nam-po-dong in Busan, the final destination and starting point of National Route 7, and ended their trip with a mental victory, saying, "The members will be disappointed that we couldn't see this wonderful place."

The viewership rating for today's broadcast reached 6.6% nationwide according to Nielsen Korea, maintaining first place in its time slot. The scene teasing the next week's thrilling journey after the members concluded their National Route 7 trip recorded a peak rating of 9.7% in Bundang.
