Yoo Jae-suk was shocked after visiting Im Woo-il's restaurant.
The episode aired on the afternoon of the 29th on MBC's entertainment program ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Jang Woo-sung, Jang Hyo-jong, Wang Jong-seok, written by Choi Hye-jung) was themed 'My Friend's Table'.
On this day, Im Woo-il participated with a working professional concept. When Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Why two weeks in a row?" Im Woo-il replied, "I wanted to treat you both to a meal. Since the place is formal, I dressed up like this," explaining his reason for appearing. However, Haha was busy teasing Im Woo-il about his hairstyle, saying, "It's so amazing to see Hachu-ping in real life."
Im Woo-il introduced, "I thought of something not too heavy," and Yoo Jae-suk commented, "A hangover soup would be just right." However, the place he took them to was a tteokbokki restaurant, and Haha chuckled, "Tteokbokki for breakfast?"
Yoo Jae-suk asked a citizen coming out of the restaurant, "Is tteokbokki famous here?" and the citizen replied shortly, "I keep thinking about it."
The three ordered four dishes and first took a bite of the rabokki. Yoo Jae-suk exclaimed, "The rice cake is so delicious. It's like jelly," and kept eating as if enchanted, while Haha said, "I crush the egg like this and eat it with tteokbokki," devouring it.
During the meal, when Yoo Jae-suk said, "I'll just get some pickled radish," Im Woo-il jumped up to get it, and Jae-suk laughed, saying, "Woo-il is a direct junior." Haha then joked, "I'll go get some water," and Im Woo-il immediately brought water.
Haha cheered, "Everyone! Today, Mr. Yoo is treating us!" and the citizens who were eating joined in, shouting "Yoo Jae-suk!" causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Haha also revealed, "Our Dream keeps saying he wants to run for class president in the second grade... He's smart, and Jae-suk's son is really good," and then added, "His mom went to Yonsei," which made Yoo Jae-suk flustered, saying, "Hey, why are you talking about mom's Yonsei?" However, Im Woo-il also agreed with Haha, saying, "I think studying is definitely hereditary."
On the way to the next location, Yoo Jae-suk asked, "It's been a year since Woo-il moved, right?" Im Woo-il replied, "I now live in a house with an elevator. The quality of life has definitely changed. The house I lived in before was a villa, but it was a five-story building without an elevator. So when I ordered delivery, I had to go down to the third floor to meet it. And when I ordered water delivery, I asked them to leave it on the first floor," he explained.
He then added, "It's a bit of a good story about me, but since my juniors know it and it hasn't been told, I'm saying it myself," which made everyone laugh.
Yoo Jae-suk asked, "Is the income different when comparing when you were doing comedy shows and now?" and Woo-il replied, "Back then, I could just live, but now I'm very grateful." However, he added, "I still care about prices when I buy things," which also made everyone laugh.
Upon arriving at a self-service cafe in Oido, they picked their drinks and decided to enjoy games at the arcade. When Im Woo-il said, "I'm sorry, but I've never lost in a game," Haha proudly replied, "I had to pay to leave." When Yoo Jae-suk teased, "Did you get rumored to be a beggar?" Haha responded, "Hahaha, a beggar! My dad called Kim Jong-pil to come to Korea," looking incredulous.
When Im Woo-il chimed in, "If it's Congressman Kim Jong-pil, he's the original JYP," Yoo Jae-suk teased, "It's JP," poking fun at him.
Woo-il expressed his frustration, saying, "Clearly, when we first started filming, you told me to do it comfortably and do whatever I wanted, but when I started singing, you told me not to sing, and I kept feeling like I had to watch myself because of JYP's mistakes."
He then stood up and said, "I didn't want to say this, but senior, the rumors about you aren't good these days! The rumors among the juniors are getting a bit worse! You'll be lonely later," revealing the situation.
In response, Yoo Jae-suk nonchalantly said, "It was intentional! I have a family," pretending to be unfazed.
Meanwhile, the other members arrived at Daejeon University. When the production team mentioned, "These days, college students often go on food tours by train," fencing athlete Oh Sang-wook ran towards the members.
Sang-wook introduced himself, "I'm from the 15th class of Daejeon University. I was born and raised here. I started training when I was 14," and upon arriving at the famous bakery in Daejeon, Seongshim-dang, they bought a lot of bread and went on a picnic.
Mijoo asked, "But I'm curious! Did you have a lot of meetings while attending university?" To which Oh Sang-wook honestly replied, "We had a lot of group meetings." When Joo Woo-jae asked, "What’s your ideal type? Do you have a girlfriend? People think you have a girlfriend," Lee Yi-kyung answered, "An article came out like that, but I didn't really clarify. Sang-wook is single!" defending him instead.
When Joo Woo-jae teased, "Your real girlfriend must be upset," Oh Sang-wook replied, "I don't have one."
Next, Oh Sang-wook led the members to a chicken restaurant. After tasting the broth, the members exclaimed, "Wow, this broth is insane," and "This taste isn't found in Seoul," genuinely impressed. Oh Sang-wook revealed, "I called a close friend's father and asked if there were any popular restaurants he frequented, and he recommended this place. I came once and couldn't stop thinking about it, so I came back again," sharing the secret of the restaurant's popularity.
Even the food enthusiast Joo Woo-jae said, "Wait a minute. Let me eat one more," and indulged in a feast, saying, "I want to tell my managers to eat here."
At the same time, Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, and Im Woo-il entered someone's house. A mother welcomed them, saying, "Oh! Welcome~ I invited you. Come in," and Yoo Jae-suk and Haha, not knowing what was going on, were startled to see a picture of Im Woo-il on the wall, asking, "Is this Woo-il's mother?" Yoo Jae-suk said, "Oh no, I shouldn't have come empty-handed... Nice to meet you," looking flustered.
The mother hurriedly prepared food, saying, "I developed a kimbap recipe."
Im Woo-il shared, "My mom set up a study room because I couldn't study well. She said, 'Woo-il, I'll keep a spot open for you 365 days a year, so you can sleep or read comic books here.' So I felt sorry and studied a little while sitting there," surprising the members with his backstory.
The mother added, "Woo-il didn't study well... It took two hours to get to the academy, so we moved to Noryangjin," which also caused astonishment.
When the mother brought out ingredients for kimbap that they could wrap themselves, Yoo Jae-suk and Haha followed Im Woo-il to make and eat kimbap. Yoo Jae-suk exclaimed, "Mmm~ it's delicious! Now that I eat it, I want more. This is great," and Haha also praised, "It's a healthy taste."
Im Woo-il explained, "My mom lived abroad before. When I was young, she was in Sydney... She kept making spring rolls but found it bothersome to keep using hot water, so she put it in seaweed. I told her she should start a business, but she kept saying it was too hard... Who doesn't find it hard?"
The mother praised her son, saying, "Woo-il doesn't cause trouble. He never missed his allowance even once a month," and Yoo Jae-suk thanked her, saying, "Thanks to Woo-il, I got to meet you and enjoy delicious kimbap."
MBC ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM.
