"How did my wife endure this pain for 25 years?"
Broadcaster Kangnam shed hot tears while recalling his wife, Lee Sang-hwa, in the extreme cold of the Arctic. Giann84 is seen battling through the harsh conditions of the Arctic Marathon, testing the limits of human endurance by consuming ice.
The final episode of MBC's entertainment program 'Extreme 84', airing on February 1, depicts the last journey of Giann84 and Kangnam towards completing the Arctic Marathon. Facing the harsh conditions of subzero temperatures and thin air, the two confront their physical and mental limits.
In the previous broadcast, Giann84 faced a crisis due to repeated vomiting, but he demonstrates remarkable mental strength on this day. He engages in the bizarre act of breaking and eating Arctic ice to regulate his body temperature while suppressing pain with deep breaths to continue the race. Notably, Giann84 is captured suddenly tearing up while checking the remaining distance before the finish line, raising curiosity about the emotions he is experiencing.
Kangnam's situation during the race is even more serious. Suffering from extreme leg pain, Kangnam repeatedly mutters "Lee Sang-hwa" to endure, but as the pain intensifies, he ultimately collapses onto the snow. He expresses his respect and remorse for his wife, who has endured such a difficult process for 25 years, saying, "How did my wife endure this tough journey for so long?"
Kangnam reveals his frustration, saying, "I don't think I can do it," heightening the tension. Earlier, team member Kwon Hwa-woon boosted the team's morale by finishing in an excellent 5th place, leaving viewers wondering if Giann84 and Kangnam can overcome their personal battles and cross the finish line.
Meanwhile, the final struggle of Giann84 and Kangnam in the heart of the Arctic can be seen on February 1 at 9:10 PM on MBC 'Extreme 84'.
