Cows Escape During tvNs GBRB: Farm Operation Episode 2, Production Scrambles to Regain Control
June 26, tvN’s newest variety series GBRB: Farm Operation – Go Go Farm turned from a peaceful ranch tour into a live‑action scramble when a herd of cows slipped through an open pasture gate on Jeju Island. The incident unfolded during the episode’s broadcast, turning a routine farming segment into a moment of genuine chaos.
The escape began as the crew opened the pasture gate, and the cows began mooing in a chorus of “can we go out?” “catch it!” and “hey, where are you going?” According to OSEN, the production team shouted, “Cows have escaped from the pasture. Is there someone to manage them?” as the animals slipped past the barrier.
Kim Woo‑bin, who had been out with the trio buying supplies, reacted with stunned surprise, exclaiming “Really?” The ranch’s CEO stayed calm, stating, “They were tied up. I’ll go and handle it.” The crew pleaded, “Don’t go!” and tried to hold the cows back while the CEO approached the scene.
The vice‑CEO later noted that such incidents “happen occasionally. It’s just cows coming out one by one,” adding that the ranch had experienced similar events in the past. The comment underscored that while the situation was unexpected, it was not unprecedented for the venue.
After the initial chaos, the production team recaptured the herd within minutes, and Lee Kwang‑soo expressed astonishment, saying he had heard all but two cows escape. No injuries were reported among cast, crew, or the animals, and the show’s broadcast continued uninterrupted.
