Kang Min-ho, the lead of ‘Gangcheoljigu’, stunned viewers as he harvested what’s known as the world’s most expensive bird’s nest.

The video was uploaded on March 21, 2026, to Channel A’s official YouTube channel, ‘playChannelA (Channel A official YouTube)’.

In the clip, Kang battles razor-sharp limestone cliffs in the Philippines to collect swiftlet nests. The standout moment comes when he safely secures a Grade-A nest in conditions so dangerous that even the production team was ready to give up.

Compared to previous episodes, this challenge delivered even more heart-pounding scenes. Kang’s courage and resolve deeply moved viewers, and his true leadership—now recognized as a pioneering ‘busador’ (a traditional swiftlet nest harvester)—made this episode shine even brighter.

Additional info from the video notes that the cast airs their survival travelogue every Saturday at 7:10 p.m., building a strong bond with audiences around the world.
