The struggles of Joo Woo-jae from "Save Me! Holmes" were depicted.
On the 12th, the MBC entertainment program "Save Me! Holmes" depicted the team's work vacation as they traveled to Gyeongju for an on-site investigation. They split into teams to explore various locations, including a closed motel, the former Bulguksa Station official residence that has become a closed station, a renovated traditional house in a seaside village, a historic site with only three remaining structures, a temple with an ocean view of the East Sea, and a former youth hostel that was bustling.
Joo Woo-jae felt burdened being teamed up with Park Na-rae and Yang Se-chan. With two comedians in the mix, it seemed like it would be fun, but Park Na-rae and Yang Se-hyung were not the type to create laughter through forced situations. Joo Woo-jae suggested something akin to a punishment from a travel entertainment show, leaving Park Na-rae and Yang Se-hyung speechless.
Joo Woo-jae suggested making a wager involving food until the end. The accepted rule was that the person who ate the 10-won bread without cheese would lose.
Yang Se-chan declared, "If you break the rules, your family for three generations will be doomed, and this will be on the show," presenting a punishment that bordered on a curse. Joo Woo-jae retorted, "Then let's just retire from broadcasting." They all agreed with Joo Woo-jae's comment that "Getting left behind is also part of the journey." Ultimately, it was Joo Woo-jae who ended up with the bread without cheese.
Unfortunately, in the crowded area of Hwanglidangil filled with students on a school trip, Joo Woo-jae had to find his accommodation alone. Everyone, from the producer to the entire production crew, including the manager, had evacuated. Left alone, Joo Woo-jae carried a GoPro camera as he ventured out. Only one camera remained to film him from a distance, but it was also not going to accompany him to the accommodation; it would leave as soon as he boarded the bus.
Joo Woo-jae said, "At that moment, it felt like I would be stripped bare as soon as I stepped outside," adding, "You don't have to film me anymore. I will film myself with this camera." He interacted quietly with curious students and greeted citizens who requested handshakes, resembling a popular politician campaigning during an election period.
When he returned like this, Joo Woo-jae was left looking gaunt. Kim Suk and Park Na-rae were surprised, asking, "Why does he look so emaciated?" Yang Se-hyung remarked, "He looks like he has lost all his blood," and "I thought a mummy had come." The reason for this was that Joo Woo-jae had become a wreck after taking a city bus with intervals of up to 136 minutes.
However, Joo Woo-jae meticulously explored the inside of the youth hostel, and since he has been gaining recognition as a singer lately, he passionately performed on the outdoor stage at the youth hostel, earning cheers from the older audience.
After taking a bite of meat, Joo Woo-jae said, "I have an overseas schedule later. So, I had to take the KTX, and I set up this stage to entertain everyone," moving everyone. Yang Se-hyung praised Joo Woo-jae's determination, stating, "Joo Woo-jae worked hard all day because he couldn't stay for dinner due to his schedule."
