Netflix has released a fresh batch of stills from its upcoming variety show Take A Hike!, giving viewers an early glimpse of the cast navigating a demanding winter climb. The photos capture the four members already geared up before sunrise, pushing through deep snow while exchanging encouragement, then later sharing quiet relief once the descent begins.
Take A Hike! is a self-hiking variety program that follows four involuntary hikers with no prior interest in mountaineering as they take on their first midwinter expedition up a snow-covered mountain. The series stars Lee Chae-min, Car, the Garden, Dowoon, and Tarzzan, capturing their struggles, encouragement, and growing connection against a stark winter backdrop.
The stills highlight the group smiling together and leaning on one another throughout the ascent. Equipped for harsh conditions, they push forward while supporting each other amid the snowy scenery, underscoring both the physical demands and the lighter moments that emerge during the trek.
Car, the Garden shared, “The members are very gentle and honest. We had more in common than I expected, so we shared our concerns and had an enjoyable time together.” Th singer and Better Late Than Single host comments point to an unexpectedly easy rapport that developed among the four during their time on the mountain.
Dowoon described the group’s chemistry as “perfect,” adding, “It was a time when we cared for and looked after each other and genuinely worried about one another.” His remarks reflect the mutual care that surfaced as they faced the challenges of the winter trails side by side.
Lee Chae-min noted, “My spontaneous nature matched well with the members. Even without intentionally doing anything special, I think our chemistry naturally came through. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be ‘naturalness.’” The actor’s perspective emphasizes how their individual personalities blended without forced effort.
Tarzzan summed up the dynamic by saying, “If I had to sum it up in one phrase, it would be ‘order within chaos.’ From the outside, it may have seemed like there were no clear rules, but once the hike began, we were able to safely and enjoyably complete the trek by following our own principles and order without any issues.” His observation captures the structured yet free-flowing way the team navigated the expedition.
Producer Park Hyun-yong observed, “Their first hike turned them into close friends in just one day. As soon as they went through the challenging mountain trails together and made their way down, they grew close at an incredible pace. Just like the saying that people become close faster when they go through hardships together, the camaraderie the four members quickly built in extreme situations will be the biggest point to watch.” The producer’s comments highlight how the demanding conditions accelerated the bonds among the cast.
