Better Late Than Never is a travel reality show that follows four famous celebrities - Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, and George Foreman - as they make their way around various parts of Asia. In each episode, the group visits a new destination, immersing themselves in the culture, trying new foods, and participating in local customs.

In season 1, episode 3, entitled "Seoul Brothers," the group arrives in Seoul, South Korea. They kick off their visit with a traditional tea ceremony, where they learn about the history and significance of tea in Korean culture. Terry Bradshaw gets particularly excited about all the different types of tea they get to try, and William Shatner takes over as the master of ceremonies.

Next, the guys visit a traditional Korean bathhouse, or jjimjilbang, where they experience the Korean practice of communal bathing and sauna. They get into the spirit of things by stripping down to their underwear and donning traditional bathrobe outfits. Terry Bradshaw and George Foreman are particularly amused by the concept of communal nudity, and William Shatner attempts to negotiate a group discount rate for the group.

After their bathhouse experience, the guys hit the streets of Seoul for a food tour. They try everything from traditional street food like tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) and mandu (dumplings), to more modern takes on Korean cuisine like Korean fried chicken and Korean-style barbecue. Along the way, they sample some traditional Korean drinks like soju and makgeolli, a sweet rice wine.

The group's next stop is a visit to a K-pop music video shoot. K-pop, or Korean pop music, is a phenomenon that has taken the world by storm, and the guys get to witness firsthand the intense choreography and flashy visuals that go into a typical K-pop music video. They even get to participate in a little bit of the dancing themselves, with varying degrees of success.

To cap off their visit to Seoul, the group participates in a traditional Korean drumming performance. They learn about the history and significance of the drums in Korean culture, and get a chance to drum along with the professionals. Terry Bradshaw declares that he wants to start a "Korean Drum Line" back in the States, and George Foreman shows off his impressive rhythm skills.

Throughout the episode, the guys are constantly surprised and delighted by the hospitality and friendliness of the Korean people. They reflect on their own preconceived notions about Korea, and express gratitude for the opportunity to learn about and experience a new culture. The episode ends with the guys raising a toast to their new Korean friends, and reminiscing about their fun-filled trip to Seoul.

Overall, "Seoul Brothers" is an entertaining and educational episode of Better Late Than Never. It showcases the vibrant culture of Seoul, and the guys' infectious sense of humor and enthusiasm make for a fun and engaging viewing experience.
