‘Shallashalla’ returns with even stronger laughter and emotion.
In the JTBC entertainment program ‘Language Study Before It’s Too Late - Shallashalla’ (hereafter ‘Shallashalla’) airing on the 1st, the members will take on their first outdoor class, stepping out of the classroom to challenge real-life English.
On that day, before school, Seong Dong-il, who was enjoying a leisurely stroll in a quiet park, suddenly screams due to an unexpected situation, raising curiosity as he asks the production team for help.
As the members enter their third day of school, they finally challenge real-life English conversation. First, beginner class members Seong Dong-il and Kim Kwang-kyu embark on a survey mission in downtown Cambridge. Contrary to their confident start, they begin to spiral into confusion with unexpected answers, and ‘answer-obsessed’ Seong Dong-il persistently continues to ask questions until he gets the desired response.
Kim Kwang-kyu, whose nickname is even ‘trauma’ in English, successfully engages in his first free talking with a foreigner thanks to his partner, Brazilian student Sara, but the ‘survey mission’ gradually sinks into a quagmire with unexpected responses.
During the survey, Jang Hyuk, who went to a café with his classmates, impresses everyone with his confidence as a mid-level student by successfully placing an order. However, an unexpected obstacle hits him, and he finds himself on the verge of spending all his money on coffee. All eyes are on whether Jang Hyuk can overcome this challenge safely.
Meanwhile, the members share their hidden feelings with each other while reminiscing about their families in a distant foreign country. Um Gi-joon recalls his father, who passed away after a long illness during his childhood, expressing regret that he has almost no memories with his father.
Additionally, Seong Dong-il, who confessed on a past show that he is an illegitimate child, openly admits that he had no idea how to treat children due to his father's absence and regrets not expressing himself to his children earlier. They comfort each other, saying, “Our dads were new to this too,” as they candidly share their honest stories about their lives as ‘fathers’ and ‘families’.
As they gradually adapt to their language study life, the late-blooming students continue to face challenges. Their language study journey can be seen in ‘Shallashalla’, airing at 7:10 PM on the 1st.
