Joo Woo-jae burst into tears during filming.
The episode of 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) aired on the afternoon of the 26th, continuing the 'Online Filial Piety Large' theme from last week.
In this episode, Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, and Lim Woo-il went around the neighborhood of Gangseo-gu to sell the stock items requested by the stationery store owner. Lim Woo-il suggested, "I think the mechanics might be interested in this," but Yoo Jae-suk and Haha dampened his spirits, saying, "They might actually not like it," which drew laughter.
At that moment, a citizen approached and asked Yoo Jae-suk for a handshake, saying, "I'm Seok-won's father." Yoo Jae-suk was taken aback, saying, "Seok-won! He's my elementary school classmate." When Haha and Lim Woo-il took out items to sell to the friend's father, Yoo Jae-suk felt awkward, saying, "Where do you meet a friend's father after 30 years?" He reminisced, "I attended Gongneung Elementary School, but it merged, so I transferred in the 4th grade. I also moved from Gongneung-dong to Suyu-ri."
When Haha asked the citizen, "What kind of child was Yoo Jae-suk?" he affectionately replied, "He was very nice." He continued, "I lived in Gongneung-dong for 20 years and then moved to Hwajeong-dong. Seok-won still talks a lot about it. But Yoo Jae-suk has lost a lot of weight," sharing a conversation only the two understood.
Seemingly having made a decision, Yoo Jae-suk said, "Now Seok-won is married and has kids, right? Oh, I'm... rather than promoting, I'm taking requests... while doing entertainment activities..." and promoted the items. He added, "This is a science box, right? Kids can assemble it. Your grandchild can do it as a hobby," but the citizen requested, "Just one photo," which brought laughter.
Not giving up, Yoo Jae-suk said, "Seok-won used to fly gliders... right? I flew gliders with Seok-won. There was a glider competition in elementary school. How about Seok-won recalling old memories and trying out gliders?" promoting the gliders.
Eventually, they succeeded in selling the items, and Haha mentioned Yoo Jae-suk's comment that Seok-won studied well, saying, "Jae-suk's wife is also good at studying. She's a Yonsei University graduate." Yoo Jae-suk responded, "Why are you... bragging about your wife?" to which Haha retorted, "It's my bragging!" causing laughter. The citizen watching also agreed, saying, "Brag! It's worth bragging about."
Before parting with his friend's father, Yoo Jae-suk said, "It's been a while since I saw you, so let me greet you! Please tell Seok-won to try the glider," and bowed deeply.
While moving to another location, the three discovered a fresh couple. Yoo Jae-suk asked the couple, "Is this your son?" and the girlfriend exclaimed, "He's my boyfriend!" Haha, watching this, knocked Yoo Jae-suk to the ground and hit him, while Yoo Jae-suk repeatedly apologized, saying, "I'm so sorry. It's obvious he's a boyfriend."
Afterward, Yoo Jae-suk tried to make amends by voluntarily taking selfies.
Yoo Jae-suk said, "You two have been dating for 4 months, right? I can already feel it... Just looking at you makes me smile," throwing in a wild comment, while Haha and Lim Woo-il advised, "Take a break," trying to stop him, which drew laughter.
At that moment, Lim Woo-il suddenly took out the science box and asked, "Boys have memories with science boxes. Dad... are you doing well?" asking a meaningless question, and Haha pushed Lim Woo-il away, saying, "You should take a break too." The girlfriend interjected, "Our son, I," and the boyfriend smiled, saying, "I usually call him 'my baby'."
Having sold most of the stock, the three reunited with the owner, who had gone to enjoy flowers with Lee Ji-su. They told the owner, "We worked hard to sell," handing over 160,500 won.
Meanwhile, Joo Woo-jae, Lee Yi-kyung, Park Jin-joo, and Park Kwang-jae visited a hamburger shop in Suyu-dong. The four pretended to film a fake program called 'Director Park's Market Tour' as they slowly approached the hamburger shop.
While waiting for the four ordered hamburgers to be prepared, the members asked, "Is business doing well these days?" The owner replied, "I started last August, but I had a vegetable shop for a long time. Originally, I ran a vegetable shop, and now my husband is working in delivery." When asked about daily sales, the owner said, "These days... about ten? But once people come, they come back. When we first opened, we sold 40 on weekdays and 60 on weekends, so I thought we wouldn't need part-timers. The leftover patties I take home for our family's side dishes! The kids eat well," he added.
After tasting the freshly made hamburger, Joo Woo-jae praised, "This is number one today! It's really delicious." He then ordered 40 hamburgers and revealed, "Actually, we are 'What Do You Do When You Play?'
Eventually, the owner burst into tears upon hearing that they had come because of his daughter’s tip. Even Joo Woo-jae, who usually doesn't cry, shed tears, saying, "Your daughter sold a lot of burgers because she wanted to see you happy. She said the fruit shop closed last week," as he cried.
The owner sent a video message saying, "The best thing your mom did was give birth to you, right? Let's live well, husband," and Joo Woo-jae, who was watching, also ended up bursting into tears.
MBC's 'What Do You Do When You Play?' airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM.
