The official poster for the travel variety show “Youth Over Flowers” was released on Monday, Feb. 15, 2016, drawing excitement from fans who were eager to see the four actors from the drama “Reply 1988” in Africa.

In the poster released by broadcaster tvN, actors Ryu Jun-yeol, Park Bo-gum, Ahn Jae-hong and Go Kyung-pyo, are looking excited against the backdrop of a desert in Africa. Ryu is standing on the roof of a car with a selfie stick in hand while Park is sitting beside him looking thrilled to be in Africa. Ahn and Go, who both look tanned, sport animated expressions close by.

“First, let’s run. Hakuna Matata,” says the poster. The “Lion King” catchphrase “Hakuna Matata” roughly translates to “No worries” in Swahili.

Earlier in January, the four boys were “kidnapped” by director Na Young-seok who is behind the signature travel variety show “Over Flower” series. He brought them to Namibia in southern Africa for the new spin-off. At the time, the actors were enjoying a vacation in Phuket, Thailand, which was organized by the “Reply 1988” production crew as a reward for the success of the drama.

The boys were in Africa for 10 days and went to popular destinations such as Victoria Park and Dune 45.

The first episode of the African special will air on 9:45 p.m. on Friday via tvN network.
