'Why Do We Hike?' (hereinafter 'Why Do We Hike?') Kardergarden revealed that he began considering dropping out after discovering the concept of hiking.

On the 12th, a press conference for Netflix's new variety program 'Why Do We Hike?' was held at Naru Seoul M Gallery in Mapo-gu, Seoul. Attendees included PD Na Young-seok, PD Park Hyun-yong, singer Kardergarden, Doo-won of band Day6, actor Lee Chae-min, and Tarzan from group AllDay Project.

'Why Do We Hike?' is a hiking variety show following four involuntary hikers who had no prior interest in hiking throughout their lives as they embark on their first-ever winter expedition to a snow-covered mountain.

PD Na Young-seok explained the reasons for casting Kardergarden, Doo-won, Lee Chae-min, and Tarzan. He said, "My ambition was to create a next-generation variety group that will lead the industry for the next 10 years. Therefore, they had to be new figures no one else had ever touched."

He added, "We have formed such a group. We may not fully know their abilities yet, but I am confident they have immense potential."

PD Na explained, "Originally, we planned to make a game show. We convinced them to join, and during interviews, I realized that even if we give them something difficult rather than just having them play games happily, they can overcome it. Since these are the people who will lead for the next 10 years, games can come later. Right now, in their shining youth, we decided on something challenging: hiking."

Upon hearing this, Kardergarden remarked, "As a victim, I find it utterly shocking to hear such words."

Meanwhile, 'Why Do We Hike?' will premiere on the 18th.
