MBC's popular variety show 'Adventure by Accident 4' returned with a triumphant first episode that mesmerized audiences on both television and OTT platforms. The show's core theme of "no plans, no principles, no worries" resonated once again.

In particular, Kian84's solo expedition through the Himalayas left a strong impact, blending emotion and immersion beyond typical entertainment norms.

During the premiere on May 11, the show achieved a viewership rating of 2.3% among the 2049 demographic in Seoul (according to Nielsen Korea), reaching a peak of 3.6% at its highest moment – marking the series' highest ratings to date.

Following the broadcast, the show rose to the top spot on Netflix Korea's Top 10 TV Series Today and led Wavve's variety show rankings, demonstrating its influence on both traditional and digital platforms. The show's official YouTube channel 'Adventure by Accident Basecamp' continues to engage its growing fan base with exclusive footage and behind-the-scenes content.

This season’s journey transports viewers to the Himalayas. Inspired by a childhood documentary on 'The Tea Horse Road,' Kian84 set off for Namche Bazaar, the Sherpas’ hometown in Nepal. One memorable moment included him carrying over 30 kg of gear on his forehead, emulating Sherpa tradition on challenging mountain terrains.

Upon reaching Nepal, Kian84 adeptly managed currency exchange and hotel arrangements, expressing wonder at the high-altitude landscape and lifestyle upon landing in Lukla via helicopter. His transformation into a “Korean Sherpa” was evident as he navigated cloud bridges and steep trails alongside camels and horses, highlighted by genuine moments like relishing local cuisine Dhido and changing shirts in the wilderness.

Joining the Sherpas without a plan, he shared their burdens, symbolizing a journey of mutual support and understanding that deeply moved viewers.

The show teasingly introduced Lee Si Eon and Pani Bottle's arrival in Kathmandu, Nepal, hinting at Dex's impending appearance, sparking curiosity. A playful banter ensued as Jang Do Yeon humorously questioned Dex's timing, igniting a fun rivalry among the cast members. The next episode will reunite all four “brothers,” promising dynamic chemistry ahead.

Episode 2 is set for airing at 10 PM on the 18th, delayed due to special election coverage. The producers hinted at an exciting narrative with the complete group, heightening anticipation for the upcoming episodes.

'Adventure by Accident' has evolved into more than a travel show, earning the title “The Kian84 genre” for its distinct storytelling and dedicated fan base. This season continues the trend, expanding its presence through Netflix releases and engaging YouTube content.
