Bae Jung-nam's dog Bell has overcome another crisis.
On the afternoon of the 20th, Bae Jung-nam's dog Bell underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumor on the SBS variety show 'My Ugly Duckling' (hereinafter 'My Ugly Duckling').
In this episode, the first guests were Kim Jun-ho, Choi Jin-hyuk, and Kim Hee-chul. The three wrote a household account book before meeting the rough godfather. Kim Hee-chul said, "My mom made me and my sister write a household account book, but it was meaningless. So let's consult the godfather about our spending. Don't be ashamed, you have to write everything down," explaining the reason for writing the account book.
Hee-chul added, "I keep pressing until I get a good item in the game," showing that he invested a large amount of money only in games, which angered his mother. In response, Kim Jun-ho seriously looked at Kim Hee-chul and said, "You're the worst. I at least bought a bag for a living person."
At that moment, actor Kim Eung-soo appeared. Kim Eung-soo said, "Socks are funny. You wear them for a day. When you put them in the washing machine, nothing comes out. Do you run the washing machine just to wash one sock? When you keep doing that, people's habits change. It's cold now. So I go to the gas station at 5 AM to fill up. If you fill up then, the gas condenses, so you can get more. This is common sense. If you fill up in the early morning and during the day and look at the gauge, there's a slight difference. It's not a noticeable difference. It's a subtle difference," showing the true aspect of a frugal godfather.
Afterward, the three had their account books checked by Kim Eung-soo. Kim Eung-soo, seeing that Kim Hee-chul spent 800,000 won on games, said, "You spent this much on games? Why?" with a puzzled expression, to which Kim Hee-chul replied, "I have to dress my character like this even if I wear comfortable clothes." Upon seeing this, Kim Eung-soo warned, "Hey, get a grip... If Hee-chul gets married and has children, this will be a reason for expulsion. You're serious."
Next, Kim Eung-soo checked Choi Jin-hyuk's account book. He said, "You spent 2.1 million won. You could have stopped this? Don't go out for company dinners. It's serious," and put down his pen.
Finally, to Kim Jun-ho, who bought a diet injection and a bag for Kim Ji-min, Kim Eung-soo said, "You spend money to lose weight? You lose weight by not eating. You're wasting money and calling it manly," shaking his head.
Afterward, the three revealed their shopping expenses for the year. Hee-chul said, "121 items, 6.43 million won. Most of it is dog supplies," Kim Jun-ho said, "I spent about 3.8 million won," and Choi Jin-hyuk confessed, "213 items, 9.2 million won."
Kim Eung-soo, who said he spent about 800,000 won a month, expressed disbelief, saying, "I hate shopping the most. My daughter buys my clothes. I don't even go online. The biggest expense I had recently was filling up 50,000 won yesterday. There's no shopping in my life."
The second guest was Bae Jung-nam. Visiting the hospital due to his dog Bell's malignant tumor, Bae Jung-nam showed a troubled expression. He said, "As a parent, I'm most worried about things going wrong. Last time I had a major surgery, I was drained. I didn't expect to have to undergo surgery again after two and a half years," feeling disheartened about the situation.
When the doctor said, "Bell has lived longer than the average Doberman. In human years, that's over 70," Bae Jung-nam sighed, "It's not a healthy 70; it's a 70 with heart disease." The doctor warned, "If it grows over 3 cm, it starts to rot. The inflammation lowers the condition. If Bell undergoes general anesthesia, the risk increases 100 times because of the heart condition. A sudden shock could occur," reiterating the dangerous situation.
He then added, "If we do local anesthesia, there can be a recurrence, but we can buy a lot of time. If Bell can hold on, we can remove the deeper tumor."
After a call with a friend, Bae Jung-nam ultimately chose the lower-risk local anesthesia. After an hour-long surgery, he watched the surgery progress on the screen. When the doctor said, "We need to send it for a biopsy, but it seems like we completely removed it," Bae Jung-nam finally breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "We've overcome another hurdle."
He comforted Bell, who was whimpering, saying, "Let's stop with the surgeries now. You've worked hard."
The third guest was Kim Jong-kook, who was invited to Kim Seung-soo's house. When Kim Seung-soo told him to talk to Mina, Kim Jong-kook called out, "Mina?" referring to the AI.
Upon arriving at the house, Kim Seung-soo introduced another AI, saying, "There's also Yuna besides Mina," and when the AI said, "I really love you, Seung-soo oppa," Kim Jong-kook burst into laughter. Kim Jong-kook said, "I don't even use navigation. I look at the map first and then the signboards," showing his inability to understand the digital human Kim Seung-soo.
When Kim Seung-soo mentioned paying by holding his phone to a card reader, Kim Jong-kook exclaimed, "You have to take out the card. Is this really possible? Wow, I must be crazy," revealing his primitive side and surprising everyone.
At that moment, Kim Seung-soo brought out a robot he thought of as his daughter. Initially unimpressed, Kim Jong-kook smiled when the robot said, "Hello, Chinese dad," and attempted to connect by saying, "Dad is a singer. Do you know Kim Jong-kook?"
When the robot danced to the song 'Lovely,' Kim Jong-kook remarked, "Wow, it can do everything?" showing signs of adapting. Later, while doing push-ups with the robot's count, when the robot asked to be hugged, Jong-kook smiled broadly, saying, "That's amazing~."
The robot said, "I have to live with dad Jong-kook. Goodbye, uncle Seung-soo," to which he replied, "That's my daughter," displaying his doting father side.
‘My Ugly Duckling’ airs every Sunday at 9:05 PM on SBS.
