Global Food, Emotions, and Friendship: Inside ENA’s Travel Docuseries Round 3

ENA’s travel reality show ‘지구마불 세계여행3’ has wrapped up its third round of journeys with cast members delivering poignant one-liners that reflect their unforgettable worldwide adventures. The latest episode aired on June 10 and featured the conclusion of Round Three with cast members 곽빠원, 정재형, 이장우, and 차주영, as well as a special round, Food Festa.

Exploring destinations like Mauritius, Egypt, Hong Kong, and Macau, the travel series captivated audiences and broke its rating records with engaging stories built on local cuisine, emotional moments, and candid camaraderie.

Actor Lee Jang-woo stood out as the “local cuisine master,” fascinating viewers with his encyclopedic knowledge of food from Egypt and Hong Kong. Known affectionately as the “쩝쩝박사” (roughly translated as ‘Food Doctor’), he expressed gratitude for sharing a similar foodie spirit with fellow traveler 곽튜브. His fondest memories included sipping tea at sunset in the Sahara Desert and tasting local dates with peanuts.

Cha Joo-young shined as a savvy traveler, successfully negotiating with locals in Egypt and stepping in for fellow cast member 원지 during their “revenge shopping” mission. While she initially found the vlog-style shooting unfamiliar, she credited 원지 for creating a comfortable filming environment. Visiting Egypt fulfilled one of her travel dreams, and she expressed a desire to explore the polar regions and South America in future adventures. To her, ‘지구마불3’ was more than a show—it was an ideal travel partner.

Jung Jae-hyung showed sophistication and charm in Mauritius, dazzling with fluent French and culinary flair. His brotherly support for 빠니보틀 during a bungee jump challenge in Macau left warm impressions on fans. Despite a slightly awkward start, the duo built an endearing sibling-like bond that resonated with audiences. Jung remarked that his journey with 빠니보틀 was uniquely meaningful.

The candid reminiscing from the cast reminded viewers why they fell in love with ‘지구마불 세계여행3’—its blend of personal storytelling, humor, and cultural immersion. With Round Four launching new travel partners, anticipation for what’s next is building rapidly.
