Broadcaster Kim Dae-ho sent the set into a state of instant tension by taking the unconventional step of stripping naked during an experience with an Ethiopian tribal village. His spontaneous choice, which emphasized a sense of oneness with nature, is expected to be remembered as a scene that challenged both broadcasting standards and directorial boundaries, prompting the production team to rapidly adjust camera angles.
In the upcoming episode of MBC Every1's 'Great Guide 3' airing on the 7th, Park Myung-soo, Kim Dae-ho, Choi Daniel, and Lee Mu-jin visit the Karo tribe village in southern Ethiopia to immerse themselves in the local lifestyle and culture.
The group will dive into the daily lives of the tribespeople, experiencing their labor and way of life in a close-knit reality show that focuses on 'living adaptation' rather than mere 'travel.'
During this process, Kim once again demonstrated the 'nature-friendly values' he has frequently mentioned on various broadcasts. Upon seeing the Karo tribespeople bathing in the river, he expressed a strong sense of kinship, stating, "Becoming one with nature—'unity with nature'—has long been a dream of mine."
Kim then told the production team, "Just cut and use it as you see fit," before actually stripping naked in front of the camera. The production crew reportedly responded immediately by tilting the camera angles upward to manage the situation.
After immersing himself in the river, he shared his thoughts, emphasizing a sense of personal liberation and assimilation with nature, saying, "I felt no shame at all; rather, it felt like returning to a pure state."
Beyond the bathing experience, Kim also engaged in cultural exchange with the tribespeople, lowering physical barriers by helping the locals scrub each other's backs.
Lee Mu-jin, also participating in the trip, added to the tension with unexpected behavior. While experiencing life as a shepherd, he encountered a massive snake; after a moment of shock, he grabbed it himself, causing a stir on set. Watching this, Park Myung-soo expressed surprise, asking, "Isn't that an anaconda?" while even Kim reportedly reacted by saying, "This is too much.'
Meanwhile, Park and Choi Daniel continued their labor-centered experience by participating in the preparation of traditional local food, though they reportedly struggled due to the unfamiliar environment and high-intensity work. The process led to unexpected moments of laughter when local children were startled and ran away.
The experiences in the Karo tribe village are drawing attention as a case that expands the boundaries of reality variety shows, where cultural clashes, adaptation, and extreme individual experiences intersect.
