“The show is full of shockingly realistic scenes and allowed us to unveil our authentic features and personalities,” said main Got7 vocalist Youngjae.

Bambam, a Thai member of the band who worked as a “guide” for the show, even said: “I am concerned that we opened up our personal sides too much.”

The singers and the producer, Lee Won-hyung, hinted that the members showed how they looked without make-up and held a competition involving a “physiological phenomenon”.

Youngjae says next time he wants to visit a country where none of the band speak the local language.

Lee said the crew did not give Bambam, Youngjae, Mark and Jinyoung – the four members of the seven-strong band that made the trip – many instructions, but instead let them listen to their hearts about how much to reveal.

“Got7’s fans should love this programme – and even non-fans will find it entertaining for its realism,” Lee said.
