Actor Yoo Seung-ho praises Vivi's approachability.

In the EBS special program "The Last of Humanity," airing at 4 p.m. on the 16th, the seven crew members are shown exploring for the first time a previously undisclosed unknown space called "LEO (Landscape Evolution Observatory)" inside Biosphere 2.

Waiting for them that day is a vast wasteland spanning 750 pyeong with no sign of life. The crew members take on humanity's ultimate survival test: reviving primordial soil and sprouting seeds buried deep underground.

◆ "Yujjop" Yoo Seung-ho: "Vivi is a baby of love"

The crew members, who had enjoyed peace inside the base for the first time in a while, share their initial impressions and how those have changed over time, exchange nicknames, and spend a warm and harmonious moment together.

First, Yoo Seung-ho describes Vivi as "a baby of love and a mood-maker," presenting her with the nickname "Dungi."

Jang Dong-seon (Dr.) tells Lee Eun-ji, who has served as the team's reliable center, "At first, she seemed like a sharp girl, but the more we spend time together, the better she reads others' hearts and grasps every situation, seeing the world with everyone," giving her the nickname "Mose," short for "Everyone's World."

Jang Hong-je (Dr.) says that when he first saw Kim Han-gyeol (Dr.), he thought of an American female soldier and calls her "Lara" from Tomb Raider, while Lee Eun-ji tells Lee Nak-jun, "Someone who embraces people more warmly than anyone else," giving him the nickname "Hot Pack."

Jang Hong-je (Dr.), who made a strong impression from his first appearance in ghillie suit attire, earns the nickname "Ghillie Boy," while Jang Dong-seon (Dr.), who praised bacteria throughout the broadcast as the "Bacteria Defender," unanimously receives the nickname "Bacteria Man."

Finally, Lee Eun-ji recalls the yew tree when she sees Yoo Seung-ho, not only for his handsome appearance but also for always taking the lead, giving him the nickname "Yujjop" and making everyone laugh.

◆ The final survival test begins in a 750-pyeong wasteland... The great secret hidden within 'LEO'

The crew members, who had enjoyed peace inside the base for the first time in a while, are suddenly given their final mission. Following an enigmatic map provided by the system, they arrive at a space they have never stepped foot in before and are left speechless at the scene unfolding before them.

Stretching endlessly up a steep slope is a 750-pyeong wasteland filled only with black soil. There is no trace of green life; instead, an overwhelming landscape of rough soil piled layer upon layer greets the crew members.

This place is "LEO (Landscape Evolution Observatory)," a world-renowned earth science research facility. It was created by renovating a space that was used as an agricultural zone during the Biosphere 2 project and is now the world's largest soil research facility. Here, researchers study how lifeless primordial soil transforms into living soil over long periods of time and evolves into forests and ecosystems.

◆ Bring forth life from lifeless soil: The final challenge humanity faces

The mission given to the crew members is not simply to plant seeds. It is to revive barren soil with no organic matter into living soil, allowing the seeds buried within to sprout and come back to life.

They directly confront the most fundamental principle of the ecosystem: for plants to grow, the soil must be alive; and for humans to survive, plants must be alive. This mission to revive lifeless land proves to be the most unfamiliar and difficult challenge even for crew members who have previously resolved issues related to atmospheric pressure, food supplies, and marine ecosystems.

◆ A shaken balance: The Last of Humanity faces unprecedented difficulties

As soon as the mission begins, even veteran crew members struggle to find easy answers. Amidst nonstop time limit warnings, the crew members offer differing opinions and fall into confusion, and just like a final mission, the tension continues where a single moment's choice determines the outcome.

In particular, Yoo Seung-ho and Vivi face an unexpected situation of performing the mission while suspended in mid-air, and an unforeseen incident occurs during their work, heightening everyone's tension. Will the seven members of The Last of Humanity be able to restore life to the barren land and successfully sprout the final seed?

◆ How soil becomes a forest: Reflecting on the starting point of human survival

The ground we walk on and live on every day is the result created by countless cycles of life. However, if the soil collapses, so too must food, forests, and human lives. This broadcast sheds new light on the value of "soil," which often goes unnoticed and easily overlooked, and seriously re-examines where the starting point of the ecosystem lies that humanity must protect in this era of climate crisis.

"The Last of Humanity" will air at 10:50 p.m. on the 16th.
