Netflix premieres Take a Hike! this Tuesday, August 18, a new reality show from Na Young-seok’s team. The series follows four artists with no interest in mountain climbing as they set out on a journey through snow-covered mountains in the middle of winter.
The cast includes Car, the Garden, DAY6’s Dowoon, Lee Chae-min, and ALLDAY PROJECT’s Tarzzan. Beyond the hikes, the show also follows the group as they spend time together throughout the trip, sharing meals, playing games, and taking part in other activities organized by the production team.
Take a Hike! information
Genre: variety reality show, mountain climbing
Platform: Netflix
Production company: Egg Is Coming
Directors: Na Young-seok and Park Hyun-yong
Writers: Lee Woo-jung and Choi Jae-young
Cast: Car, the Garden, Dowoon, Lee Chae-min, and Tarzzan
Premiere: August 18
The premise places the four participants in an unfamiliar situation. For the first time, they must take on a long journey through the mountains during winter.
The decision to cast beginners is also tied to the show’s origins. Lee Woo-jung, the writer of Take a Hike!, enjoys mountain climbing as a hobby and had previously taken Na Young-seok and Park Hyun-yong on several hikes.
According to her, the idea came from imagining what would happen if people who disliked mountain climbing were placed in that kind of situation. Spending time together while taking on a physically demanding activity could help the participants grow closer more quickly.
However, when they were invited to join the production, the members were reportedly not told that they would be taking part in a mountain-climbing reality show.
Who is in the cast of Take a Hike!?
The cast of Take a Hike! consists of four members:
Car, the Garden
Dowoon, of DAY6
Lee Chae-min
Tarzzan, of ALLDAY PROJECT
The group includes three singers and one actor. Among them is Lee Chae-min, who starred in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.
Na Young-seok also explained in an interview how the lineup came together. The producer was looking for faces who had not appeared as frequently on variety shows and wanted to put together a new group for this type of production.
According to him, the goal was to find a lineup that could continue working together in the years ahead. The search ultimately brought together Car, the Garden, Dowoon, Lee Chae-min, and Tarzzan.
What does the Que Fria! trailer show?
The official trailer, which runs for around three minutes, shows that the program will not be limited to mountain hikes.
In addition to trekking through the snow, the four members are shown sharing meals, playing games, and spending time together throughout the trip.
The format is reminiscent of other programs produced by Na Young-seok’s team, but this time, mountain climbing serves as the starting point for the participants’ journey together.
