A new video released on the tvN D ENT channel shows the 'Wise Mountain Village Life' team dangerously deep-frying food in scorching oil heated to a staggering 295°C, capturing a nail-biting moment. Uploaded to YouTube on March 19, 2026, the clip is quickly drawing massive attention.
Shot in a small mountain village, the video vividly conveys the urgency and intensity of the filming conditions. In one standout scene, a caption reading "Isn't this basically lava?" flashes on-screen as they fry sweet-and-sour pork (tangsuyuk) in the searing oil, leaving viewers on edge.
Comments in the video underline just how extreme and risky the cooking was, with one viewer saying, "That temperature always feels brutally intense..." Another reaction summed up the danger: "It was an incredibly hazardous situation—if even a single spark had jumped into the oil, it could have exploded."
This episode of 'Wise Mountain Village Life' leans harder into dramatic elements than previous seasons, turning a bold challenge in a quiet village into a hot topic among viewers. Despite the risky-looking setup, the final dish looked undeniably appetizing.
