KBS 2TV variety show '2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' recorded the highest viewership rating in its time slot through its first New Year's trip held in Chuncheon, Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province. The episode aired on the 11th recorded a nationwide rating of 7.2% according to Nielsen Korea, and the scene where the outdoor sleeping team members Moon Se-yoon, Lee Jun, and DinDin ended their day in a tent reached a peak rating of 10.8%.

The members challenged the 'Golden Bell Qualifier' to obtain the last piece of the '2026 New Year Plan Manipulation Team' mission's spinning wheel at a famous café spot in Chuncheon. The condition was that if each member succeeded in their given mission and completed the group mission, they would earn three additional spinning wheel pieces. Although they failed in the first two attempts, all five members completed the mission on the third try, earning three extra spinning wheel pieces. Ultimately, the team acquired a total of eight spinning wheel pieces, each inscribed with desired travel keywords such as 'Team Lottery Special,' 'Triple Luck Special,' and 'Hotel Vacation Special.'

As a result of the spinning wheel draw, the arrow stopped at the 'Team Lottery Special' proposed by DinDin, confirming that special episode. The production team expressed disappointment at the decision that overcame a 4% probability.

Back at the base camp, the members began the sleeping spot luck mission. This mission, announced in advance by the production team, required each member to achieve their assigned New Year's goal, with the number of failed members determining how many would sleep outdoors. Moon Se-yoon was assigned a weight loss goal. The mission required him to lose 3 kg from his current weight, and he devoted himself to exercise without rest. Other members also prepared to achieve their respective goals.

The dinner luck mission 'Dakgalbi Manipulation Team' was conducted in three rounds. Round 1 was a 'Relay Leg Split' contest for udon, cheese, rice cake, and other side ingredients; the members endured the pain and succeeded in securing the ingredients. In Round 2, 'Water Delivery Without Feet,' they completed a mission to deliver water 500 meters in cold weather, earning an additional serving of fried rice.

The main mission in Round 3, 'Struggle Quiz Show,' required them to endure on a dump truck with an increasing slope over time and answer five quiz questions correctly. Kim Jong-min, Moon Se-yoon, and DinDin were eliminated midway, while Lee Jun and Yoo Seon-ho endured until the end and answered correctly, winning two servings of dakgalbi. Upon moving to the restaurant, the members began eating dakgalbi, but Moon Se-yoon refused to eat to maintain his weight loss mission. He made a public promise, saying, "I will never eat to show viewers a successful case of achieving New Year's goals."

Back at the base camp, the New Year's goal verification took place. DinDin succeeded in his mission, but Yoo Seon-ho failed to answer five consecutive questions correctly in the capital and national flag quiz, and Kim Jong-min failed the fairy tale reading mission. Moon Se-yoon's weight measurement showed 123.1 kg, achieving his goal by losing more than 3 kg from 126.2 kg in six hours. The members expressed joy at Moon Se-yoon's success.

Finally, Lee Jun, who was assigned the goal of sound sleep, burst into laughter during the production team's verification due to a first-level dad joke attack and ended his challenge.

The final result of the sleeping spot luck mission was that two members slept indoors, with Moon Se-yoon drawing the short straw for outdoor sleeping. Kim Jong-min succeeded in switching his lot and secured indoor sleeping. Accordingly, Kim Jong-min and Yoo Seon-ho ended their day indoors, while Moon Se-yoon, Lee Jun, and DinDin finished outdoors.

'2 Days & 1 Night Season 4' airs every Sunday at 6:10 PM.
