At the embassy, the friends are served some treats while they discuss about Riley's attitude towards the friends compared to his attitudes towards his fellow ambassadors, as well as learning "hello" and "good" in Māori.^[169]

On the day of departure, the friends separate, with Riley, Lee Jung, Shakya and Terada grouped together to visit the southern part of New Zealand, particularly Queenstown, whereas Patry and Zhang will head to the north, visiting cities such as Auckland and Wellington.

Riley then tells the friends that they will walk along the Tasman Glacier, the longest glacier in the country. Riley mentions that there are two ways to see the glacier, one by boat and the other through a helicopter. Shakya and Terada decide to go on the boat tour, whereas Riley and Lee Jung take the helicopter tour.^[174]

Riley and Lee Jung go on the tour with a guide and are warned about the dangers of the glacier, such as sinkholes. However, the glacier they see is a lot smaller due to the effects of global warming, but is still big enough to be the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. They then land at the glacier, where they decide to go hiking.^[175] On the other hand, Shakya and Terada ride a shuttle bus to Mount Cook National Park to be able to ride the boat to the glacier. Shakya states that Lord of the Rings series was shot in the area as one of the main settings.^[176] They then hike to Tasman Valley, where during the trekking course they meet a guide, who leads them to Tasman Lake.

They decide to go try out the reverse bungee, one of the city's hotspots.^[174][178]

The episode begins with Riley waking the friends up at 6 in the morning, first going to Zhang and Terada’s room. He decides to wake the friends early for sports activities later in the day, and goes to Patry and Shakya’s room afterwards. The friends go to Mission Bay, for some morning exercise. Riley also shows the friends a view of Rangitoto Island, New Zealand’s largest volcano. Firstly, the friends go jogging but Riley pushes himself hard compared to the friends, who are still tired but they eventually try to run away from Riley, who keeps telling the friends that they should be working as one team. Afterwards, the friends rest for a bit whilst Riley sees Zhang trying to run away. As the oldest, Riley promised the friends that he would buy coffee for them, and went to do so while the friends waited for him. Lee Jung and the friends discuss about Riley’s “energetic” behavior; Lee asks Patry, who has had a close friendship with Riley for 16 years, if he has been like this.^[180] After Patry responds that he has gotten “worse” after a trip to the United Kingdom, they all jokingly agree that he has started the “menopause” stage early.^[181]

Riley returns early with the friends’ coffee and their first activity of the day is the most popular sport in New Zealand, rugby.^[182] Riley mentions that a friend, who is a rugby player, will be joining them to play touch rugby. Finally, the friends meet a rugby team, consisting of Riley’s friend and others, greeting them in the Maori traditional way. The friends learn of the rules first before they have some practice on passes. While practicing, the friends praise Terada for his amazing passes due to playing baseball as a child. The game begins and the friends have a game against the rugby players, who have beat them easily. After the game, the friends and the rugby players have some fish and chips together. Party asks the team captain who has played the best out of the friends, and captain chose Terada as the best. Lee Jung asks how Riley and his friend met, and Riley responded that they did the haka together. Riley and the rugby team perform a haka for the friends, who applaud them for the wonderful performance.^[181]

The friends then go sailing on a yacht at Viaduct Harbour in Auckland, and the friends are planning to go sailing just around the area of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.^[183] Riley mentions of the sport’s significance within New Zealand, and mentions that they will have a competition, with the punishment as bungee jumping from the Sky Tower, the tallest viewpoint in the city. At the port, they meet the instructors and are split into three teams, with Patry and Shakya together, Lee Jung and Terada, and Riley and Zhang.^[184][185] During the race, Patry asks his coach if he’s been to Korea. The coach replies that he was the coach for the South Korean national sailing team at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, helping them win bronze. Riley and Zhang win the race, with Lee Jung and Terada and finally, Patry and Shakya in last place.^[181]

The friends rest alongside the beach, where Lee Jung plays a song accompanied with a guitar and with the rest of the friends singing.^[186] Afterwards, in Auckland, the friends decide to go bungee jumping on the city’s Sky Tower as a punishment for losing to the yacht race in the last episode. However, Riley changes the rules and decides that all the friends jump together. At the top, the friends enjoy the view before Patry jumps first. Lee Jung jumps afterwards, followed by Riley, Zhang, Terada and finally, Shakya.^[187] The friends finish jumping and leave to Riley’s mother’s house, within a neighbourhood in the city.^[188]

They greet Riley’s mother, whom Riley hadn't seen in a year and eight months.^[189] She surprises the friends when she says she knows Shakya from one of the Canada episodes, and Lee Jung, whom she mentions saw him sing on King of Mask Singer back in South Korea. In the house, Riley’s mother gives the friends a tour of the house, especially the Maori kete that hangs on the walls, and explains its significance. The friends also have a look at old childhood photos of Riley. After having a toast with Riley’s mother and an old family friend of Riley’s, he explains that his two older sisters live in France and Japan respectively. Terada asks Riley’s mother if she likes Japanese men, but only mentions about her son-in-law but cheers him up by saying she likes Terada too. The friends then ask about Riley’s life, especially about his energetic characteristic, in which Riley’s mother mentions was not true in his youth.^[190] Soon afterwards, more family friends arrive at the house to visit Riley and the friends. Riley mentions that his mother had met her friends at a Maori club.^[188]

Riley mentions that he is of Maori descent^[191] and talks about his heritage before performing a traditional Maori dance with his mother and a few of the family friends. In return, the friends sing Arirang, Korea’s most famous traditional folk song, and are greeted with a positive response. Riley’s mother and the family friends sing Pokarekare Ana, a famous New Zealand love song that is recognised in Korea after New Zealand soldiers introduced the song while fighting in the Korean War.^[192] After their performance, the friends are served green-lipped mussel as an appetiser for dinner, before Riley’s mother asks Shakya and Terada to help her out in the kitchen. The friends ask what their Māori names should be and after dinner, the friends prepare to sleep.^[188]

The morning after, the friends head to Rotorua, where they will visit a Maori camp as well as spending some time in a mud bath.^[193] There, they visit Tikitere, also known as “Hell’s Gate”, Rotorua’s most active geothermal area. They enter a forest within the area, where they see hot springs and warm waterfalls. The episode ends when they enter a mud bath and do Māori poses and learning the haka.^[188][194]

The first activity the friends head to in Rotorua is a Maori village. When entering the village, the friends are greeted by a Maori woman in pōwhiri, a Maori welcoming ceremonial greeting.^[195] At the welcoming ceremony, Riley and Lee Jung decide to sing "Pokarekare Ana" to the tribe,^[196] before all the friends are each given tribal outfits such as the korowai.^[197] They then head to the forest near the village and learn to do the haka, the famous war dance of the Maori people. The friends ask the tribe to pick whom out of the cast has done the best haka, and they pick Lee Jung, to Riley's shock.^[198][199]

The next activity the friends play is called "Maui and Matau", where they have to change either to the left or right direction when it is being called out, while holding a stick. If the person fails to hold the stick while changing position, they lose. Zhang loses on the first go, followed by Lee Jung. Patry wins against Shakya and the friends move on to the second game which is called "poi", that practices wrist flexibility. They are then tested on their stamina and athleticism in another game, in which Riley gets hit as a punishment for being the worst at it.^[200][201] Afterwards, the friends have some lunch, served with meat that has been cooked in a traditional Māori style.^[199]

After lunch, the friends watch a performance in a packed theatre and they learn the story of the song "Pokarekare Ana", and Lee Jung is surprised by the singing skills of the performers, where after the show, the friends stay behind and discuss about how the day went for them.^[202] The next day, back at Riley's mother's house, Riley wakes up the cast one by one for some morning exercise. Patry and Zhang follow Riley's mother to the plants by the house to pick some grapefruit, lemons and rhubarb for breakfast. In the meantime, Lee Jung and Terada come out and have a taste of the lemons, which is too sour for them. Riley and Shakya join into the scene with some equipment for exercise, such as some dumbbells. Whilst the others begin their morning exercise, Riley's mother chooses Shakya and Terada to help her make some breakfast for the friends.^[199]

The friends have some stewed rhubarb with some bread, oatmeal and fruit juice. The friends decide for Riley to spend some time with his mother whilst the rest of the friends stay in the house to clean up. Lee Jung plays the piano in the house and sings Michael Jackson's "Love Never Felt So Good" with Patry and Zhang.^[203] They have some trouble getting the notes right before Lee Jung gives up on it. Whilst the friends are in the house, Riley and his mother take a walk nearby where they discuss about health and the amount of time they have together. Riley is worried about his mother's health and also discusses about work as well. Before the friends leave, Lee Jung sings one of his songs, "Do It Tomorrow" to Riley's mother as a farewell gift, after she requests him to sing personally to her since watching him on King of Mask Singer. The episode ends with Riley and Patry travelling to Taupō and Zhang, Shakya and Terada heading to Hobbiton.^[199]

The first place the show introduces to in this episode follows Zhang, Shakya and Terada to Hobbiton in Waikato, the setting for the movie series The Lord of the Rings, based on the novel of the same name by J. R. R. Tolkien.^[204] Firstly, the friends encounter a farm on the set, where it is revealed that the farm was used as a setting in the movies. They are greeted by a female guide and see the Hobbit village that features in the movies, before Zhang disguises as Gandalf with a beard and wig.^[205] Afterwards the friends encounter a cat that starts to follow them. Whilst around the set, Terada mentions that he would like to film a music video around the area one day due to the weather and nature of the setting. With the help of Zhang and Shakya, he then reenacts one of his songs and dances as if he was in a music video.^[206] The friends then find a wide space and have some fun, since they finally have a “relaxing” day without Riley. Afterwards, the friends encounter the home of Bilbo Baggins, one of the series’ most famous characters. They enter inside and see that there is no one inside, and the guide explains that they film the scenes separately in a studio instead, disappointing Zhang, who is dressed as Gandalf. Afterwards, the friends have lunch, before they seek the synonymous ring of the series at a gift store, and purchase one using Zhang’s credit card. Then, Terada’s music video is presented, featuring Zhang and Shakya.^[207]

On the other hand, in Taupō, Riley and Patry walk alongside the largest lake in New Zealand, Lake Taupō. Here, Riley talks about the Maori mythology, between three mountains: Mount Tongariro, Mount Taranaki and Mount Pihanga, also known as the Mount Taranaki legend. Tongariro and Taranaki fought for the latter, which was said to be the “female mountain”. He mentions that Tongariro wins and that the position of Mount Taranaki had become Lake Taupō after it lost, therefore moving to the west coast of the North Island. They then decide to go play golf by the lake, where they try to get a hole in one. Party tries to teach Riley how to properly swing but gives up before demonstrating it himself to try to get the hole, which he barely misses. After 20 tries, the two keep failing to get the goal and decide to try harder the last five balls. Riley finally manages to get close to the hole, but still misses, and Patry tries as well but also fails.^[207][208]

Riley and Patry have a conversation about marriage, where Patry asks for advice from Riley, who has been married for eleven years.^[209] He mentions that fighting will be common due to reasons such as money and family, and that if Patry had thought about marriage, then his life as a celebrity would have to be over since it would just damage the relationship. In summary, Riley advises to do the right decisions which the individual believes is the most safe. Afterwards, the friends all reunite on the Coromandel Peninsula in the north, where they come across Hot Water Beach, where it is self-explanatory: if digging sand, hot water will come out. The friends decide to have a go at digging, in which Riley and Patry go together, and Zhang, Shakya and Terada digging together. On one hand, the friends altogether try to create a spring for themselves before it gets washed away by the waves, therefore the friends just give up and relax.^[207]

After the time at the beach, the friends return to Riley's mother's house, where they are greeted by more family members, such as Riley's two uncles and aunt. Patry talks about how he and Riley first met over ten years ago and how they have been friends ever since. The friends are surprised at Zhang's improved English skills and praise him, before Riley asks his mother to show the friends of "Poi", the activity the friends had done the day before in the Maori village. She, along with Riley's aunt perform for the friends, who are intrigued. Riley's aunt asks for the friends to exercise with her, where they do movements to Psy's Gangnam Style.^[210][211] As a parting gift, Riley gives his mother a new smartphone, as she has been using an old phone for 14 years, as well as Riley paying for her phone bills. The other friends also have gifts, where Patry writes a letter to her and Riley and reads it aloud to them. After the conversation, Riley thanks the friends one by one, even Lee Jung, who had departed early due to his busy schedule.^[212] They finish off with Riley singing a song, g.o.d's "Road".^[207]

Yoo, Patry, Mondi and Zhang meet at Gimpo International Airport to board the plane to their next destination, Jeju Island. After arriving at Jeju International Airport, they are greeted by the rain but Yoo has already rented a convertible. The friends then take a trip alongside the Jeju Olle Trail, a road/path alongside the coast of the island. The four friends split, with Yoo and Zhang walking together, while Patry and Mondi stick together.^[213]

Zhang and Mondi walk together and Mondi shows Patry that the ribbons on the trail show that they are walking the right path, before taking a photo of the sunset. They then both enter a small church throughout the end of the trail, where Patry learns about Andrew Kim Taegon, Korea's first Catholic priest and patron saint. On the other hand, Yoo and Zhang have some coffee on another trail when they encounter the film setting for famous Korean drama, Dae Jang Geum. Zhang mentions how famous the drama is in China, and decides to intimate actress Lee Young-ae's expression in the photograph.^[214] Also, they make different expressions on the trail before dusk falls upon the island.^[213]

The friends reunite soon afterwards and enter a pension to stay in for the night, where they are greeted by the owners of the house and their friends, where they all decide to have dinner altogether. Whilst waiting for dinner, Yoo views the advertisement Patry, Mondi and Zhang were in, promoting a heated mat a year ago. Just after, the owners and their friends arrive and have dinner with local foods. The locals state that they decided to move to the island after the beautiful views and atmosphere, but state that there are a lot of bugs around. The friends joke that Zhang eats bugs (a common food in China) but he confesses that the bugs are only sold for foreigners, much to the friends' shock.^{[213][215][216]}

The morning after, Lee Jung waits for the friends by one of the island's most famous restaurants, and first meets Ashminov. Ashminov doesn't know Lee Jung very well and believes that he is an actor instead of a singer.^[217][218] Not long after, the four friends Yoo, Patry, Mondi and Zhang arrive at the restaurant and are reunited with Lee Jung and Ashminov. There, they have breakfast and learn some Jeju language such as "Have a great meal" and "More please". Finally, the friends visit a beach nearby, where they pose by a statue of a Korean woman and try to walk along the beach before the water starts to go towards them. However, they decide to play a small game of rock-paper-scissors, where the one who loses will take their shoes off and put their feet in the water, despite the cold. All the friends win but Mondi, who does so but rushes back quickly when a wave starts coming towards him. The episode ends with the friends walking alongside the trail on the coast.^[213]

The episode begins with the friends visiting a tangerine field not too far from the restaurant where the friends reunited. They are greeted by the farmers of the field who have worked for over twenty years. At the farm, they are taught how to harvest the oranges before Yoo tries an orange, where he is very content with its honey-like taste. Before they get to work, the friends are taught by the farmer how to find a good orange, in which they learn that a good orange has to have a round shape, size of around 5 to 6 cm, and with a grainy-like surface. Lee Jung finds a pile of oranges together, and jokes that it is a studio microphone by singing Adele’s “Hello”, to the friends’ delight. Afterwards, all the friends finish and they have some food, such as sweet potato, the oranges they harvested and some noodles.^[219]

Afterwards, the friends split, with Yoo, Zhang and Patry together to ride ATV in the mountains, while Lee Jung, Ashminov and Mondi take to the ocean to go scuba diving despite the cold weather. Firstly, Lee Jung and co. meet a local diver who has worked in the profession for over forty years. The three then learn the instructions of scuba diving, such as breathing. They then enter the water and enjoy the experience, as well as examining the corals near the coast.^[220] Unfortunately for them, they finished quickly and decides to get some food, where Ashminov cooks ramen with octopus for the friends, as well as for the diver.^[219]

On the other hand, Yoo and co. head to the mountains, where they enter an ATV course, which is quite common in Jeju Island. They ride on the course and have some fun, despite Zhang struggling to drive as fast as Yoo and Patry. However, the friends get soaked in mud, due to the cold and damp weather on the island. They finish soon after, and all the friends reunite to travel to Lee Jung’s house.

Afterwards, Yoo and Patry mention that they have schedules the day after and may or may not make it in time for filming.^[219]

The episode ends the next morning, introducing secret members of the trip, recurring member John Riley and first time on the show, comedian Jang Dong-min.^[219]

Riley and Jang Dong-min enter Lee Jung's house in the morning, surprising Mondi and Zhang while they are sleeping. Riley asks for a morning exercise, in which Mondi agrees to do, but Jang and Zhang are reluctant to do so.^[223] Riley and Jang also wake Ashminov and Lee Jung, who is happy to see Riley once again. Riley, Lee Jung, Mondi and Zhang do exercises together outside despite the cold weather.

There, they are escorted around the site by a tour guide whilst learning some phrases in Jeju dialect. They also pretend to reenact nobles from the past whilst touring before heading for lunch. Riley, Lee Jung and Mondi arrive at a maze where they decide to play a game of hide-and-seek in the maze, with Riley being the one who has to catch the other two. Eventually, Riley manages to find the other two just before the exit of the maze.^[225]

The episode begins with Riley, Lee Jung and Mondi visiting a fisherman’s house in the night, who also own a guesthouse for the friends. They are shocked to see Patry is already there waiting for them, after returning from his schedule.

The friends then have dinner from the seafood the fishermen and women had caught earlier. The friends then share bedrooms, with Riley, Mondi and Zhang sharing a room together, and Jang, Lee Jung, Ashminov and Patry sharing the other. The friends are seen resting in the living room of the house, when the owner enters with some foods for them to enjoy.

After Ashminov and Varsakopoulos decide that it isn’t the best time to visit Bulgaria and Greece, Yoo decides to call GOT7’s Jackson Wang from China, and ask whether the friends could go to fellow GOT7 member BamBam’s home country of Thailand. They then agree to meet later after lunch.
