In a recent broadcast of MBC’s ‘Around the World Born 4’ (also known as ‘World Tour 4’) featuring Gian84, Lee Si-eon, Dex, and Pannibottle traveling in Nepal, a shocking scene was aired where Gian84 shaved his face in the street with a rusty razor. Despite the lack of mirrors and water, and the dim lighting, he began shaving fearlessly, causing concern among his fellow travelers and Nepalese onlookers. They were worried about the sanitary dangers and the possibility of tetanus. However, Gian84 nonchalantly brushed off his shaved stubble onto his pants and checked his clean-shaven face with a satisfied expression, much to the surprise and amusement of his companions.
The episode also depicted Gian84’s physical challenges as he took on the role of a Sherpa in the Himalayas, carrying heavy loads for two days across 10 hours daily, eventually arriving at Namche Bazaar at an altitude of 3,300 meters. He expressed admiration for Nepal but soon felt the physical toll, showing exhaustion and neck pain.
Despite the difficulties, there were heartwarming moments, such as when Gian84 visited the home of an 18-year-old Sherpa boy named Tamang, who took responsibility for his sick father’s livelihood. Gian84 empathized with the boy’s situation and gifted him a pair of sneakers for his work. He also supported another Sherpa youth studying Korean by giving him shoes and books.
