On the July 14 broadcast of the SBS program "High Valley, Top Hero," the new cast members created precious memories together.

During the episode, the new members played a table tennis match after their meal, with the penalty of jumping into an icy valley stream. LIM YOUNGWOONG and Roy Kim teamed up as Team Attack on Titan, while Heo Kyung-hwan, Kwak Beom, and Nucksal formed Team Corgi to face off.

In the first round, LIM YOUNGWOONG and Roy Kim easily defeated Team Corgi, which consisted of Heo Kyung-hwan and Kwak Beom. For the second round, Nucksal stepped in to replace Kwak Beom.

Nucksal and Heo Kyung-hwan narrowly missed out on a victory in the second round, leading to a final win for LIM YOUNGWOONG and Roy Kim, which confirmed the penalty for Team Corgi.

Nucksal and Kwak Beom took turns jumping into the water. Kwak Beom, a former Marine, ambitiously jumped in, claiming he would show off his combat swimming skills. However, he only ended up struggling in the shallow water, drawing laughter from the others.

Following this, Roy Kim, also a former Marine, took his turn. Much like Kwak Beom, he showcased his combat swimming skills with an explosion of variety show flair, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Pork was a staple of the dinner menu for the cast that day. They decided to differentiate their meal from previous ones by preparing salt-grilled pork ribs and braised pork ribs.

Heo Kyung-hwan also prepared rolled omelets. However, the more he cooked, the more bizarre the shape of the omelet became. Seeing this, Nucksal asked, "Are you going to move that Beyond Evil here?" to which Roy Kim added, "COLONY, COLONY," further fueling the laughter.

The salt-grilled pork ribs and braised pork ribs turned out better than expected. When paired with "somaek" (soju mixed with beer) personally made by LIM YOUNGWOONG, the members could not stop expressing their admiration. Heo Kyung-hwan's rolled omelet also turned out to be delicious despite its appearance, satisfying everyone.

Roy Kim, who mentioned he does not drink often, said, "I almost always abstain from alcohol on days I have to sing. I had a drink today because I thought I wouldn't have to sing."

He continued, "If I drink, I can't sing. My pitch drops by half an octave. Sometimes, it even drops by a full octave."

In response, Heo Kyung-hwan expressed his disappointment, saying, "We have great singers here, and it would be a benefit to my life if these great younger brothers performed live. But you're saying you won't do it because you drank today? Isn't that too much?"

Nucksal then retorted, "But we aren't your lackeys, are we?" which brought the room to laughter.

Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, a scene of LIM YOUNGWOONG and Roy Kim rehearsing a duet version of "Melody for You," a song Roy Kim wrote for LIM YOUNGWOONG, was shown, raising anticipation for the full performance to be revealed next week.
