On January 20, the production team at Mnet Plus announced the premiere of its original travel variety program 'ON THE MAP.'
'ON THE MAP' is a global adventure show in which K-pop idols travel around the world, take on hidden challenges in each destination, and work to complete a single map. In this installment, NCT WISH heads to Mongolia to complete their challenge map and reveal new sides of their charm along the way.
The first episode follows the members as they arrive in Mongolia and begin adjusting to their new environment. Starting with the local greeting “Sain baina uu? (hello),” the group is immediately faced with their first surprise challenge, putting their quick thinking and teamwork to the test.
One mission requires all members to appear smiling in a single frame during an impromptu photo time. As they maintain their smiles throughout the challenge, viewers are left wondering what kind of strategy NCT WISH comes up with to succeed. Later, an unexpected hurdle arises during their first meal, prompting the members to attempt a clever counterattack.
The production team shared, “This season of 'ON THE MAP' is built around six key strengths and charm points that the members of NCT WISH personally discussed and selected. We hope viewers enjoy watching how they solve each challenge tied to these keywords in unpredictable locations and situations.”
'ON THE MAP' premieres on January 20 at 8 PM KST via Mnet Plus, followed by a broadcast on the Mnet channel on January 21 at 8 PM KST.
