[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 21st, the show "Traveler - Argentina" featured Kang Ha-neul, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ong Seong-woo visiting the Perito Moreno Glacier.


Seeing the Perito Moreno Glacier, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, for the first time, Kang Ha-neul, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ong Seong-woo couldn’t stop their nervous laughter at the abnormally beautiful and majestic spectacle. The glacier stretched endlessly, so there were several observation decks set up. The three headed to a spot where they could face the glacier directly.


Ahn Jae-hong and Kang Ha-neul repeatedly exclaimed, "It's really tall," "So tall." Upon seeing the glacier, which was closer to blue than white, Ahn Jae-hong said, "It's too blue to call it white," and Ong Seong-woo also said, "I didn’t know glaciers could be this blue." While gazing at the glacier for a while, Ahn Jae-hong said, "The colors of the Argentine flag represent the sky, glacier, and lake," to which Kang Ha-neul and Ong Seong-woo nodded, saying, "Oh, really?"


To witness the glacier tunnel collapse, which can only be seen once every 2-3 years, Kang Ha-neul, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ong Seong-woo waited while eating gimbap. A guide nearby who informed them about the glacier collapse advised, "Don’t take pictures, just watch," encouraging them to simply take it all in with their eyes. While eating gimbap, Ahn Jae-hong said, "This tastes exactly like the gimbap my mom makes," and Ong Seong-woo agreed, saying, "It’s a familiar taste."


Shivering from the cold while waiting for the glacier, the three were finally able to witness the spectacular collapse of the Perito Moreno Glacier tunnel, raising their hands high and cheering with joy.

Next, Kang Ha-neul, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ong Seong-woo set out on a mini trekking adventure. Before that, they stopped by a shop where Ahn Jae-hong bought a cup, and Kang Ha-neul and Ong Seong-woo bought hats. They also had a hearty meal for the trip, then arrived at the dock and boarded a boat. On the way to trekking, the three burst into laughter and took a commemorative photo upon seeing a statue that looked exactly like Kang Ha-neul.


With the warning "Never walk sideways," the three started trekking with their guide Emmanuel. Emmanuel surprised them by greeting, "Hello!" On encountering a blue pond, Kang Ha-neul and Ong Seong-woo scooped water with their hands to drink, while Ahn Jae-hong, who had bought a cup, drank from it, causing laughter.


As the ice-surrounded scenery continued, Ahn Jae-hong joked, "I should have brought condensed milk," and Ong Seong-woo replied, "And red beans." The guide broke the ice on the ground to clear a path and said they would take the three to a higher place. While climbing, Kang Ha-neul laughed, saying, "I’ll probably collapse again today, hyung," and Ahn Jae-hong responded, "Straight to sleep mode," exchanging banter.

Finally, the three enjoyed whiskey on the rocks to cap off the trip. They tasted whiskey containing 400-year-old glacier ice freshly broken by the guide, along with chocolate, and Kang Ha-neul, Ahn Jae-hong, and Ong Seong-woo took photos, savoring the moment.


After finishing the trekking, the three headed to a supermarket to buy ingredients for Chapaguri with sirloin, a dish featured in the movie "Parasite." Upon hearing from a clerk that flower sirloin was about 9,000 won per kilogram, the three were amazed. When Ahn Jae-hong bought 2 kilograms on a whim, Ong Seong-woo asked, "Can we really eat all this?" to which Ahn Jae-hong firmly replied, "We can," causing laughter.


Realizing the meat was much cheaper than expected, the three continued buying various types of meat such as tenderloin and bacon. They also purchased wine, butter, and other desired foods. Ahn Jae-hong, who is skilled in cooking, lamented, "There are so many things I want to buy."
