From New York to Shanghai: Young K's intense itinerary

According to the video, Young K endured a grueling journey, traveling from New York to Incheon, and then driving an hour from Incheon to arrive in Shanghai. After arriving in Shanghai, he began his schedule with his first meal following fan events, including a fan signing, 'Hi-Bye' session, and photo time. In the video, Young K shared that it was fun, noting it was his first time conducting a fan signing alone in a foreign land.

Exploring Shanghai cuisine and the 'Wanghong' transformation

Young K visited local restaurants in Shanghai to taste various regional dishes, including Dongpo pork, freshwater eel, pig's trotters, and Man Do. While tasting the freshwater eel, he remarked that it was "soft" and "gives me energy," and he reacted to the abundance of juice while eating pan-fried Xiao Long Bao. He also enjoyed his meal while noting the flour-like taste of the Shanghai-style dumplings.

While preparing his glamorous decorations and makeup, he placed an ornament on his head and remarked, "My head is so heavy that my posture is being corrected automatically."
