Update on Nepal Sherpas Tamang and Rai, Connected Through Gian84

The recent whereabouts of Nepalese Sherpas Tamang and Rai, who formed a bond with Gian84 through the MBC variety show 'Born to Travel the World,' have become a topic of interest. Following the major floods in Nepal, there were concerns about their safety, but Gian84's SNS update confirmed both were safe, reassuring fans. The subsequent news of their differing paths has garnered significant attention.

Rai has entered Korea, linked with educational institutions like Sun Moon University, embarking on a new learning journey. In contrast, Tamang has returned to his role as a Himalayan trekking guide to support his family, prioritizing livelihood over studies. During the broadcast, the then 18-year-olds deeply moved viewers by carrying heavy loads of nearly 30kg up the mountains, with Gian84 even gifting them shoes and clothes. In August 2025, they revisited Korea for the filming of 'Welcome, First Time in Korea?' and reunited with Gian84.

Bloggers express sadness over Tamang's decision to postpone his dream of coming to Korea to support his family in the Himalayas. The news of Rai's studies in Korea and Tamang's return to work presents both realistic concerns and emotional impact to many, with hopes for their cross-border friendship to continue.
