Lee Jang-won revealed his affection for his wife, Bae Da-hae.
While Channel S's 'Map to Go Back' stimulated office workers' desire to travel with a special feature called 'Impromptu Travel after Paid Annual Leave', travel friend Lee Jang-won brought laughter to his wife Bae Da-hae with his 'AI lover' side.

Episode 117 of 'Map to Go Back' was aired on the 11th. The broadcast on this day was a special feature of 'Improvised Travel after Paid Annual Leave', with Kim Shin-young talking about Travel Creator Shopping Center and 'Singapore, a city that's a good place to go right away', Lee Seok-hoon talking about Hyeon Seung-seung Jang-gu and 'Phuket, Thailand, a crazy stress-busting party', and 'Big Star Teacher' Choi Tae-seong Package tours were introduced with the theme of Baek Go-fang and ‘Fubao Friends Invitation to Chongqing, China’. Peppertones Lee Jang-won appeared as a travel friend who will determine the winner of the battle.

Baek Go-fang visited Chongqing, China. From the beginning, Chongqing captured attention as a zoo where you can meet an army of pandas fully armed with cuteness. Kim Shin-young said, “In my next life, I want to be born as Fubao,” and expressed sincere envy, making Choi Tae-seong burst out laughing. The mainland hot pot restaurant introduced in the following course stimulated the spirit of challenge with unique ingredients such as duck intestines and pork blood vessels, as well as a dizzying spiciness that will relieve work stress. Through a cruise tour, Baek Go-fang presented healing and relaxation by showing the golden 'Hongya-dong', which is considered the best night view in China, and the splendid cityscape panoramic view. To finish, we visited 'Three Bridges of Heaven', the filming location of the movie 'Transformers 4', and boasted the scale of the continent with a scenery like a paradise island.

Next was Phuket, Thailand with Hyun Seung Jang Gu. First, a unique experience course where you can directly interact with a fierce tiger, such as giving a back hug, was introduced and was thrilling. Next, a noodle restaurant with a menu in Korean as well as a noodle restaurant that was perfect for both taste and quantity appeared, stimulating the MC's salivary glands. In addition, Phuket increased satisfaction with a 5-star 'Godseongbi' hotel where guests can enjoy everything, including spacious beds, a free shuttle, and a swimming pool, for just 80,000 won. In response, Lee Jang-won said, “I guess living for a month would be possible, right?” and showed signs of making a reservation right away, making Lee Seok-hoon laugh. The last course stimulated the travel cells by revealing a crazy on-board club that made you forget the stress of work and a night market where you could taste 1kg of mango for only 2,100 won.

The last one was Singapore. The shopping center introduced Singapore-style restaurants selected for the Michelin Bib Gourmand and provided a taste tour that was no less than a multi-course meal. At this time, when a famous coffee shop known as the Hermes of the coffee world appeared, Lee Jang-won cheered for the coffee instructions rather than the fancy coffee cup set, making the MCs laugh. The commercial area is a magnificent 5-star hotel with the concept of a city in nature, and the local restaurant 'Bak Kut Teh', which will be a health food for tired office workers, makes the studio lively, while MZ Pick's SNS life is full of hip atmosphere such as 'Fort Canning Park' and 'Arab Street'. They even introduced shooting spots, attracting attention. In addition, the shopping center truly brought out the taste of a romantic trip by visiting 'private cable car dining' with an office worker friend who had actually used up his annual leave, and even tasting the representative dish, chili crab, with the panoramic view of Singapore in the background.

Lee Jang-won made the studio into a sea of laughter with his ‘KAIST-style’ outrageous humor code. Lee Jang-won suddenly showed off his 'artistic bravado' by saying, "If I go on a trip without a guitar, I play guitar using an app," and surprised the MCs by revealing his unique hobby, saying, "When I go to see scenery or cultural assets, I start by looking for explanations." In addition, Lee Jang-won declared, “Bae Da-hae is my lifelong travel mate,” and made even ‘guilty man’ Lee Seok-hoon shudder with his sweet ‘3-year married couple’ moment. Moreover, whenever a good restaurant appears, Lee Jang-won asks, “Is this what Dahae likes?” “It’s an extra point,” he said, and even created his own scoreboard just for Bae Da-hae, making everyone around him raise their hands and feet. As a result, Jang-won Lee chose Singapore as the #1 ‘impromptu trip after paying annual leave’. He showed off his unstoppable love for his wife by revealing the reason for his selection, saying, “It’s a place worth visiting for me and Da-hae, who are important to us for lodging and eating.”
