Kazakhstan served as a filming location for the South Korean travel show «Hit and Miss Tour 4.» Its cast has visited the country’s largest city and surrounding areas.

Filming took place from July 24 to 27. The episodes are scheduled to air on Channel S, with a later global release on Netflix. The cast features South Korean comedians Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon and Hong In-kyu.

The reality show follows the cast as they travel through a new country, taking on unexpected challenges. The losers pay for accommodation, transportation and entertainment.

A new season will feature the city’s prominent landmarks, including 28 Panfilov Guardsmen Park, Ascension Cathedral, Green Bazaar, Shymbulak and Kok-Tobe. The crew also visited Charyn Canyon, Kolsay Lakes and Lake Kaindy. 

«We are glad that more and more international creative teams choose Almaty as a point of attraction for their projects. This helps promote the city and the country as tourist destinations,» said Diyar Askarov, head of the Almaty Tourism Bureau.

The premiere of «Hit and Miss Tour 4» is scheduled for Aug. 23, Aug 30 and Sept. 6.

Earlier this month, Kursiv LifeStyle reported that Green Bazaar had been transformed into a South Korean venue by a film crew from India.
