TV personality Kim Jin-young, known professionally as Dex, has departed for Nepal to film “Adventure by Accident 4,” the newest season of MBC’s popular travel reality series.

Dex boarded a flight to Nepal Thursday morning from Incheon International Airport, the show's production team said. The latest journey kicks off with a grand expedition along the fabled Tea Horse Road, beginning at Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak. Dex will be joined by the complete cast as they take the first step of their adventure together.

Dex first joined the series in its second season, set in India, and quickly became a fan favorite. With his special forces background, he showcased strong stamina, bold reactions and unpredictable humor. His reliable appearance combined with his sharp wit has helped him grow into a “variety show powerhouse,” heightening anticipation for his return.

At the airport, Dex appeared in mountain-ready outdoor gear tailored for high altitudes. “I heard this will be the toughest journey yet,” he said. “But I’m excited to travel again with the brothers. I’ll come back healthy.” His signature cheerful tone drew attention at the airport.

“Adventure by Accident 4” will follow the cast as they trace the ancient and rugged Tea Horse Road, beginning at Nepal’s Everest region. The program aims to capture the intersection of humanity and nature through encounters with diverse cultures and people across the high-altitude landscapes.

The full cast, including Kian84, PaniBottle, Dex and Lee Si-eon, reunite for this unpredictable four-man journey, which will premiere on MBC in May.
