The pair are set to perform on the streets of Seoul
The comedians jet off to Seoul, the first destination of the second season, to learn the ropes of being a K-Pop star.
The pair will prepare and and perform their own routine inspired by the genre for fans watching on in Seoul.
In a first look clip, Rob and Romesh first meet with K-Pop stars TRI.BE - a band made up of seven women - to get the lowdown on what it takes to be successful in Korea.
They head to a karaoke bar to test out their vocal abilities - performing their own rendition of Alicia Keys' Empire State Of Mind.

Romesh says: "TRI.BE want to assess our singing to see what they would be working with.
"So aware this was our big chance to make a big first impression, I picked a song that hopefully wouldn't be too challenging."
Rob adds: "The song was a good choice for Romesh, and TRI.BE were impressed - but I was worried.
"I am waiting to sing, and I know I can't do it, but I had to, so I gave it my all.”
He is then seen screeching into the mike to sing Alicia's part - leaving his co-star wincing and the crowd laughing.
Romesh concludes: "If you told me that Rob, just before doing that, had been told to do it in the style of Aled Jones doing the Snowman, I would've believed you."
Later on in the episode, Rob and Romesh are given a make-over to complete their transformation.
And to top it all off, the pair - dressed entirely in orange - take to the streets of Seoul to perform with the K-Pop stars as their backing dancers.
Rob & Romesh Vs airs tomorrow night on Sky Max.
