[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 14th, JTBC's 'Traveler - Argentina' featured Kang Ha-neul, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ong Seong-wu's journey through Patagonia.

That day, while traveling by car, Kang Ha-neul, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ong Seong-wu fully enjoyed the wind of Patagonia. First, Ahn Jae-hong stuck his face out of the car window and opened his mouth wide to feel the wind. Seeing this, Ong Seong-wu asked Ahn Jae-hong, "How is it?" and without a word, Ahn Jae-hong led Ong Seong-wu to the window.

Just like Ahn Jae-hong, after opening his mouth wide and shouting, Ong Seong-wu made Kang Ha-neul stick his face out the window as well. Kang Ha-neul said, "Well, the wind is all the same, right?" after feeling the wind, then added, "It's not all the same," making the other two laugh.

The three also enjoyed a leisurely time riding bicycles. After cycling, they arrived at Lake Argentino, where they could no longer continue by bike, so they stopped briefly to look around. However, the wind was so strong that they could barely stand, and Kang Ha-neul pointed to a tree leaning in the wind, saying, "Director, please hold me because the wind is so strong."

Despite the strong wind messing up his hair and making him stagger, Ahn Jae-hong caught attention by taking out lip balm from his bag and applying it. Meanwhile, Ong Seong-wu said, "Ah, this wind really feels good," adding, "It's not cold. It's a really refreshing wind," fully enjoying the breeze with his whole body. Kang Ha-neul agreed, saying, "Right, right."

Amused by the absurdly strong wind, the three burst into laughter, searching for a hat that had flown away as they headed toward the lake. They also enjoyed playful moments, jumping with the help of the strong wind.

Upon finally arriving at Lake Argentino, battered by the strong wind, Kang Ha-neul marveled, "Hyung, can you believe this is a lake?" Ahn Jae-hong asked, "Isn't it the sea?" Kang Ha-neul replied again, "It's a lake," staring in awe. He then pointed, saying, "The air is so clear. You can see all the way to the end."

The three linked arms in front of the vast lake. Ahn Jae-hong said, "It's the first time in my life I've felt so much wind," and Kang Ha-neul added, "I'm a bit worried that if I face this wind, I might fly away. All the way over there," laughing helplessly.

After braving the strong wind, Kang Ha-neul, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ong Seong-wu finally arrived at their accommodation and rested briefly before heading out for dinner. They tasted asado made from Patagonian lamb. Ahn Jae-hong took the first bite, slightly furrowing his brows and silently expressing amazement. Kang Ha-neul asked, "Is it amazing?" and Ahn Jae-hong nodded. Ong Seong-wu also found the crunchy texture very unique and interesting.

Kang Ha-neul said, "I will try lamb again after failing once before," and started eating. Ahn Jae-hong said, "Looks like you'll overcome it." Seeing Kang Ha-neul's expression after tasting the asado, Ahn Jae-hong asked, "Isn't it delicious?" Kang Ha-neul showed a strong positive expression. He also said, "Is this lamb?" and continued to express disbelief, "It's really delicious. This place is really good. There's no weird smell at all."

Then Ahn Jae-hong pointed to chimichurri sauce, which Argentine people always accompany their meat dishes with, saying, "Lamb dipped in this is really delicious," repeatedly expressing admiration.

During the meal, Ahn Jae-hong mentioned Ryu Jun-yeol, saying, "I promised to send Jun-yeol a sunset photo." Ryu Jun-yeol, who appeared in the previous 'Traveler - Cuba' episode, had sent Ahn Jae-hong a sunrise photo. Since Ahn Jae-hong couldn't wake up early in the morning, he decided to send a sunset photo instead. However, he asked the photographer to take the sunset photo instead of taking it himself.

After receiving the photo from the photographer, Ahn Jae-hong asked his younger brothers for ideas before texting Ryu Jun-yeol, "What would sound the coolest? The coolest in the world." Adding, "I took it casually, but it turned out like this," Ahn Jae-hong said. Ong Seong-wu suggested, "A quick V (emoji) while eating."

When Ahn Jae-hong responded positively with "Sounds good," Ong Seong-wu added, "A quick shot while eating with the younger brothers," and Ahn Jae-hong expressed satisfaction, saying, "Good, good. I like it, I like it."

While eating and drinking wine, Ahn Jae-hong expressed concern for Kang Ha-neul's claustrophobia, saying, "Let me know whenever you feel it coming." Kang Ha-neul apologized, saying, "I feel like talking about it makes people around me more uncomfortable." Ahn Jae-hong replied, "What's uncomfortable about us?" Kang Ha-neul confessed, "I just feel worried."

Kang Ha-neul also shared that Ong Seong-wu would kindly give way, and he was very grateful but embarrassed and couldn't properly express his thanks. He described his feelings about flying, saying, "I just can't breathe," showing his distress at not being able to travel comfortably like ordinary people.
