During this week’s episode, viewers saw Williams, who gained celebrity status on JTBC’s “Non-Summit,” welcome his family to Korea and take them to a Korean barbecue restaurant and a baseball game.

The Australian TV personality’s family looked surprised to see the number of side dishes on the table and appeared to have fun cheering on a local baseball team.

The last two episodes starring Blair Williams will air on Nov. 8 and Nov. 15, respectively.
