On the 14th, in the 13th episode of ENA 'Earth Monopoly World Tour 3' (hereafter 'Earth Monopoly 3'), 'Kwaks Pawan' and new travel partners set off to South America, writing an interesting introduction to their travelogue with their unique 'abilities'.

First, the travel theme of the team 'Wonjibri' with Wonji and Fabri was a 'Fabri Gourmet Tour' guided by a Michelin chef. The beginning of a delicious journey was in Peru, a stopover in Bolivia. From the first meeting, 'language genius' Fabri impressed Wonji by greeting in English, Spanish, and Italian, even preparing a gift of kimchi. Most notably, Fabri searched and guided to a ceviche hotspot where locals lined up, and during the subsequent market tour, explained various exotic tropical fruits that are usually hard to come by, showcasing the essence of a gourmet journey.

Finally, the two arrived in La Paz, Bolivia, the capital city closest to the sky at an altitude of 3,650 meters. Due to its rugged terrain, this place has a unique transportation system where subways cannot be built, which is the cable car. Wonji and Fabri embarked on an eclectic cable car city tour instead of a bus, and the breathtaking and unique view of La Paz from above made Wonji forget even her fear of heights. Thanks to Fabri, who is sociable and fluent, the two's eyes lit up at spots they would have missed passing by without local explanations. The appearance of the versatile Fabri, who also impressed travel creator Wonji, heightened expectations for subsequent travels.

The team of KwakTube and Gabee, which drew attention as the first true friend combination of 'Earth Monopoly,' was named 'Gabee and Loyalty.' The two created a unique landscape that had not been seen in partner introductions before, immediately engaging in honest 'pacs' reactions about each other. KwakTube sighed at Gabee's high tension as Super E, while Gabee quickly responded to KwakTube's dad jokes, showing their true friend chemistry.

However, in unexpected situations, they displayed a perfect match. Due to flight sold out during peak season, they were unable to go to the mysterious Easter Island known for its Moai statues, prompting them to immediately switch to Plan B and change their destination to Patagonia, enthusiastically agreeing to KwakTube's suggestion of wanting to go on a penguin tour.

As soon as they arrived at Punta Arenas, the gateway to Antarctica, KwakTube successfully negotiated the taxi fare as a negotiator, showcasing his reliable 'oppa charm.' However, shortly after, while KwakTube boasted, 'I can't fall for you,' Gabee interjected with a firm 'never!' When they enjoyed a recommended dining spot by a trustworthy taxi driver, Gabee, who dislikes salmon, surprisingly devoured the ceviche here, leading KwakTube to exclaim, 'Aren't you a salmon killer?'

Throughout the show, the engaging sibling-like chemistry led to laughter in the studio, as viewers remarked, 'It feels like watching mischievous musicians.' Nevertheless, without complaint, Gabee followed KwakTube, who enjoys shopping, paying for penguin tour winter gear with his personal card, further showcasing his supportive 'oppa' side. The next journey of KwakTube and Gabee, who completed styling tailored for the penguin tour TPO, piqued curiosity.

And on this day, the highlight of the broadcast was the opening of the new special hall 'Crazy World' of 'Earth Monopoly.' Team Panibottle and Shin Seung-ho, known as 'the Crazy People,' captured attention with a bromance even crazier than Crazy World. The two disregarded the rules stating they needed to collect five stars by participating in activities rated by difficulty to escape Crazy World and travel freely.

From the first day, they completed a one-star capoeira academy, and on the second day, without a second of hesitation, threw themselves down the Kilimanjaro Water Slide, which is a record-holder in the Guinness Book, having a height of 164m on the world's tallest 17-story apartment, reaching a speed of 100 km/h in just 10 seconds. Not satisfied with just one time, they shouted 'one more time!' and jumped again, leading to exclamations in the studio such as, 'Their brain structure is different. They are addicted to dopamine.'

Panibottle and Shin Seung-ho immediately headed to the two-star 'Brazil Gourmet Tour.' The food served here was none other than ant cuisine. This high-protein mineral chunk has a history of being eaten by indigenous people and is now used in gourmet dishes around the world. The two, initially taken aback by the unfamiliar visuals, charged ahead without hesitation during the activity, even sharing their real-time impressions of the 'popping sound.' Clearing the new special hall mission that would be difficult to attempt for any other team in just two days, their crazy forecast of wanting to try an even crazier course, which was not even asked, exploded expectations for the next journey.
