The latest season of “The Zone: Survival Mission” challenges its cast to survive extreme reality-based missions, ranging from enduring relentless AI attacks to managing mortgage payments, all within a tight four-hour window. This season introduces a new dynamic with the addition of Dex, whose chemistry with SNSD’s Yuri has become a highlight.

Kwon Yuri shares her thoughts on working with Dex. “It wasn’t intentional, but the natural flow of events made it a bit surprising. Dex appeared in crucial moments to help and protect me. I’m thankful for that, especially since the other ‘oppas’ would all run away, leaving Dex no choice but to be by my side and assist me.”

Additionally, Dex responds humorously, comparing the experience to another show. “It felt like I was filming ‘Single’s Inferno 2’ again, though unintentionally. I think those aspects are well captured in the show.”
