Inspired by the popular TV travel program “Youth over Flowers,” the nine-piece boy band continued traveling split into three groups.

Lee Know, Hyunjin and Han visited major tourist spots, marveling at the sight of the Harbor Bridge and Opera House. Gushing over plates of pancakes, the three exchanged gifts they had picked for each other from the open-air Rocks Market.

Meanwhile, Woojin, Changbin and Felix tried their hand at camel riding and sand boarding at Fort Stephens. “I have seen deserts only in movies,” said Changbin. The trio appeared to have an incredible time sitting on camels trotting along a beach. When they saw the height of a sand dune, they could not help but freeze.

Bang Chan, Seungmin and I. N were taken aback by an unexpected shower but they had a picnic on Palm Beach nonetheless -- complete with sandwiches whipped up by their leader -- before jumping into the cold ocean and riding the waves. “Seeing the ocean makes me feel so fresh,” said I.N.

“I just got here and I am getting ready to eat my dinner now,” said the idol at 10:20 pm, showing viewers his takeaway sushi and instant cup noodles. “I like eating late,” said the singer.

Helping himself to a mouthful of food, he said, “Uni is my favorite,” in response to a fan’s messages.

“I was facing the back side of the stage, as I was sure I heard they were taking a photo, but after a second, I turned around to see that all of the fans were holding these (messages),” recalled Taeyong in reply to a fan who had asked him to pick the most memorable moment from his recent tour.

“I can still feel it. Maybe I might feel that way when someone confessed her love, I imagine,” he said but added, “I remember every second of all the concerts we had so far.”

Beginning the segment on her way back from practice, the performer confessed that she loves having a selfie camera. “I am one of those who talk to themselves with earphones on, and having this camera makes me feel as if I have somebody to talk to! As if someone’s listening to me,” she said with a sheepish smile.

“I am a serious homebody. I love staying in my own room. Listening to songs, especially those of other girl groups, ,,and watching videos of them perform,” said the main dancer of ITZY. “I also love movies, rom-coms especially, and going to see a movie by myself probably is the only time I go out voluntarily,” she told fans.

Chaeryeong also reported that she has been to a camp in Japan. “I really wanted to share this! I was so proud of myself,” said the singer, explaining that it was a reward for being the most exemplary trainees.

The tallest member, Wooseok, led the way followed by dreadlocked Yuto and bundled-up Jinho. Sporting pink hair, Yanan was carrying a small panda-faced bag.

They had been invited to join a number of fellow performers, including regulars Jeong Dong-ha, Gummy and Ali as well as idol groups NCT Dream and IzeOne, in the 400th episode of the long-running program that pays homage to legendary singers and composers by remaking well-known repertories.

This is the first time the show has been filmed overseas and will be made in two parts. The first will feature the younger generation’s remake of songs by veteran singer Kim Yeon-ja, whose “Amor Fati” has recently been a hit. The latter will consist of Korean pop songs favored by Japanese.
