Kian84's friend Rai from 'Adventure by Accident' begins studies in South Korea

Rai (Nabin Rai), the young man from Nepal who formed a bond with Kian84 through the MBC show 'Adventure by Accident 4' (hereafter 'Adventure by Accident 4'), has finally begun his life as an international student in South Korea. The connection that started during a short journey in the Himalayas has crossed borders to become actual education and exchange, bringing joy to viewers.

Gumbir, a Nepalese entrepreneur and actor who served as a local coordinator on 'Adventure by Accident 4,' announced the news of Rai's studies in South Korea via his SNS on the 4th.

“It is finally a new beginning toward a dream,” Gumbir stated, adding, “Many people probably remember the moment in the 'Adventure by Accident 4 - Nepal Edition' when I, as a coordinator, climbed toward Two Sherpas with Kian84, the cast member, and his younger brother.” He continued, unable to hide his joy, saying, “Among them, Rai has finally come to South Korea to study.”

Supporting the new start of Rai, who has nurtured his dreams in a small village in Nepal, Gumbir expressed, “He has taken his first step toward a new dream in South Korea. Seeing Rai's determination to study hard and surely achieve his dream makes me feel truly proud and moved.”

Gumbir also mentioned that he wanted to help the dreams of both Rai and Tamang, saying, “I wanted to be of even a little help so that these friends' dreams could become reality.” For Rai, who is starting his studies in an unfamiliar environment, this carries a meaning far beyond simple studying abroad.

A video call scene with Kian84 was also revealed. When Kian84 asked Rai, who had arrived in South Korea, “Have you studied a lot of Korean?” Rai replied, “I studied a lot. Since I came to Korea, I want to study a lot.” When Kian84 asked about the well-being of Tamang, who remained in Nepal, Rai answered calmly, “He is fine,” continuing the conversation.

As Rai's Korean skills were more natural than expected, Kian84 reacted with satisfaction, saying, “You speak Korean quite well.” He followed up with the advice, “Rai, you must study hard,” to which Rai responded, “Thank you. I want to meet you soon.” With the two having become as close as brothers through the broadcast, the possibility of them meeting again in South Korea soon has increased.

Rai also personally announced his new beginning in South Korea by posting photos taken at the Asan Campus of Sun Moon University in Asan, Chungnam, with the hashtag '#SouthKorea' on his own SNS.

The opportunity for Rai to become known to domestic viewers was 'Adventure by Accident 4.' While experiencing the lives of Sherpas in the Himalayas, Kian84 met the local youths Rai and Tamang and went on a mountain trek with them. During the grueling journey, the two took great care of Kian84 and left a deep impression on viewers with their sincere attitudes and bright personalities.

Since then, the connection has continued outside of the broadcast. Rai and Tamang visited South Korea through the MBC Every1 show 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?' and showed their unchanging friendship by reuniting with Kian84. The fact that a relationship starting from a one-time travel variety show has expanded into actual meetings and exchanges is being evaluated as another achievement of the program.

Recently, as record-breaking heavy rains fell in Nepal, causing damage from floods and landslides, Korean fans also worried about the well-being of Rai and Tamang. On the 28th of last month, Kian84 personally announced their safety via SNS, stating, “I heard Rai and Tamang are safe. I pray for the repose of all those who were lost.”

The Nepalese youth, met by chance in the Himalayas, is now carving out his own future in South Korea. Moving beyond a connection created by a broadcast, Rai's studies—which led to a person's dream and choice—can be recorded as one of the most humanistic epilogues left by 'Adventure by Accident.'
