Premiering on June 11 at 9:10 PM KST, MBC’s hit variety show “Around the World Since Birth 4” (a.k.a. “Born Around the World”) has already captured massive attention—its new teaser racking up over 200,000 views in just half a day.

The teaser video for Season 4 of Adventure by Accident promises the show’s most extreme journey yet. This season, cast members Kian84, Pani Bottle, Lee Si-eon, and Dex head to the Himalayas in Nepal, clad in traditional local attire. They mingle with villagers in remote mountain communities, aiming to deliver more than just laughs—this time, it’s about deep, emotional connections.

The teaser offers glimpses of intense moments: Pani Bottle struggling with nausea from the grueling conditions, and the cast caught off guard in a moment of tears. These emotional scenes have left viewers eager to learn what exactly unfolded during filming.

One of the biggest highlights? A jaw-dropping training sequence with Gurkha soldier trainees, known as some of the world’s toughest warriors. Even Dex, a former Korean Navy UDT soldier, joins in the brutal drill—adding tension, adrenaline, and humor all at once.

The video ends on a lighter note, showing the four cast members joyfully playing at a Nepali amusement park. Their natural chemistry and hilarious dynamic—blending effortlessly into unfamiliar surroundings—has fans praising their growth and bond as a “found family.”

The production team teased that this season would be a journey of extremes: raw brotherhood, cultural clashes, and tests of physical and emotional limits.

Online reactions to the teaser have been explosive:

“There’s no variety show like this—pure fun.”

“I’m watching the teaser on loop.”

“This might sweep year-end awards.”

“The team chemistry is off the charts.”

“I already can’t wait for June 11!”

Calm down, Dex... How the members react to Season 4's Destination

Earlier this month, the show's YouTube channel Adventure by Accident shared a warm-up clip titled “How About Here?”, showing the full cast reuniting at Lee Si-eon’s home. Dex arrives late, and the older castmates gush over his upgraded visuals and presence.

Kian84 also revealed this season’s route was inspired by a documentary on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road—a historic trade route stretching from China through Nepal and India, all the way to Pakistan.

This journey marks the final installment in Kian84’s elemental world tour, which has taken him through the Amazon (grass), India (fire), Madagascar (water)—and now finally to the mountains.

“I want to understand what it means to live at the highest altitudes,” he shared.
