Amidst the recent large-scale flood disaster in Nepal, fans expressed growing concern for the safety of Sherpa boys Tamang and Rai, who appeared on MBC's 'Born to Travel the World 4' with Gian84. Gian84's social media was inundated with inquiries about the boys' well-being, and he personally confirmed that Tamang and Rai were safe, reassuring his followers.
The Nepal floods, which began on August 26, 2026, in the central-northern Himalayan mountainous region, caused severe damage, including hundreds of deaths and over 1,400 missing persons. However, Tamang and Rai's primary living areas were reportedly distant from the main flood-affected zones, suggesting they likely avoided direct impact. Some netizens even shared news of receiving direct messages from Tamang confirming his safety.
Bloggers note that the special bond between Gian84, Tamang, and Rai fostered a cross-border fandom's warmth. Despite the program airing a year ago, fans showed genuine humanity by inquiring about their well-being on past posts immediately after news of the disaster broke. Gian84's prompt update brought significant relief to anxious fans.
