While observing Seattle's famous "gum wall," where Ahn Jung-hwan from "Family That Crossed the Line" had stuck his chewed gum, he made a bold statement, saying, "If it were Singapore, everyone would be arrested," which filled the studio with laughter.

In the 88th episode of Channel A's "Family That Crossed the Line," which aired on the 19th, Ahn Jung-hwan, Lee Hye-won, Yoo Se-yoon, and Song Jin-woo, along with American representative Chris and Brazilian-born Carlos, were present in the studio, where the German, Japanese, and American families shared unique travel experiences that captured attention. That day, guest Minami, Song Jin-woo's wife, not only offered personalized explanations while watching the Japanese family's trip to Osaka but also engaged in a "tiki-taka couple revelation battle" with Song Jin-woo, adding to the laughter.

The first to appear were the ballet couple, the "German family" Osumi and Alejandro. They showcased their trip to Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic, known as a retreat for royalty. The "German family" explained that in "the healing city" of Karlovy Vary, "you can drink thermal water from a total of 15 spots," and then purchased a "dedicated cup" to sample the thermal water. Yoo Se-yoon, a "Karlovy Vary veteran," remarked, "In this city, there are specialists who prescribe thermal water sampling based on symptoms," and added, "If you visit for healing purposes, both accommodation and thermal baths can be insured." He then described the taste of the thermal water, saying, "Honestly, it feels like licking a battery. The more you drink, the more you think you're getting electrocuted," which made everyone burst into laughter.

Next, the "German family" said, "We will experience a truly special spa," and tried the "beer spa," which was considered a "panacea" in the medieval era. The two entered a bath filled with water mixed with beer yeast and drank "unlimited beer" from a tap positioned right next to the bathtub, even pouring beer over their heads in a true "beer shower." In response, Lee Hye-won commented, "When will I ever get to do something like that again?" expressing envy for the "German family."

Following that, the "Japanese family," Lee Jung-jae and Keiko, along with their two children, greeted everyone from Osaka. Lee Jung-jae revealed, "We all came to Osaka while working at the popup store of the ‘Korea Pavilion’ at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo," and then showcased K-goods sold at the store, which are rich in Korean influence. Immediately after, the "Japanese family" officially began their family trip in downtown Osaka. They stated, "Osaka has a high re-visitation rate among tourists," while Ahn Jung-hwan added, "It’s a place I often go with my wife whenever I have time." The "Japanese family" started by taking a certified photo with the "Glico sign" in Dotonbori, a representative entertainment district of Osaka, and enjoyed Japan's "national snack" takoyaki. Additionally, they rode the world's first long oval-shaped Ferris wheel located on Dotonbori's main street and faced a bankruptcy crisis while trying to win prizes at Osaka's largest "gacha shop."

Hastily exiting the "children's pachinko," they moved to Nakazakicho, known as the "Seongsu-dong of Osaka." While everyone admired the "feel of nostalgia" where tradition and modernity coexist, the "Japanese family" became fully engrossed in classic games at an arcade filled with electronic mechanical arcade games from the 1960s and 70s. Afterward, returning to Osaka's shopping street, the "Japanese family" headed to an "original hot spot" on the street of "kushikatsu" (fried skewered food), stating, "It’s a must-try food when you come to Osaka." There, they tasted various skewers, including quail eggs, squid, asparagus, and beef tongue, and thoroughly enjoyed the essential side menu of the store, "dote-yaki" (braised beef sinew).

Lastly, the "American family" of Lee Hae-ri and Miguel, who reside in Seattle, appeared and announced, "These days, the weather in Seattle is great, and it is the time when tourists visit the most," stating, "We will conduct a 'treasure hunt tour' introducing Seattle's hidden attractions and activities." As their first stop, the "American family" boarded a "seaplane" at Lake Union Park, enjoying a 30-minute flight over the city to take in views of Seattle's landmarks such as the Space Needle, Gas Works Park, the world's longest floating bridge, and Alki Beach. They then introduced the second hidden spot, a seafood restaurant located by the docks, where the "American family" dined on salmon steak and assorted oysters while enjoying a beautiful ocean view, revealing their "truthful expressions."

After finishing their meal, the "Seattle family" went out to explore the "world's second dirtiest tourist attraction," the "gum wall." Observing the unprecedented wall covered with chewed gum left by tourists, Ahn Jung-hwan remarked, "If it were Singapore, everyone would be arrested." Yoo Se-yoon chimed in, saying, "According to Singapore's standards, it would be the 'confession wall!'" Amid their whimsical back-and-forth, the "American family" visited a large plant café favored by locals. There, they ordered the unique menu item "rosemary lavender latte" and expressed satisfaction with the unfamiliar taste of the drink, saying, "It feels like drinking coffee and tea together," wrapping up their family trip.

Airing every Thursday at 8:10 p.m.
