OSEN=Reporter Park So-young] Singer Jung Dong-won went on a camping trip for two days and one night with Lim Young-woong.
On the 3rd, the ninth episode of Jung Dong-won's YouTube content 'The Real Man' was released through the official YouTube channel 'Jung Dong-won TV.'
Jung Dong-won noted, 'Today, I am going camping. There are many heroes in our country. Among those heroes, the best hero. I got to go camping with Lim Young-woong, with whom I forged a bond on Mr. Trot.'
When staff asked why he calls him 'young man,' Jung Dong-won explained, 'Hero Hyung(형) once asked, 'Did Jung Dong-won young man come?' I replied by saying, 'Did Hero young man come?' and he didn't mind. He still continues to call me 'young man.'
He revealed that when he has a busy schedule, Lim Young-woong visits his home to take care of his pets, Teddy and Bear, saying, 'When I couldn't be around, Lim Young-woong basically played the role of a father.' He jokingly added, 'Lim Young-woong cleans up after the pets and changes the pads. Can you believe that?' which elicited laughter.
Then, the preparations for the camping trip began in earnest. He remarked, 'What I think is important for camping is enthusiasm,' while putting various snacks like grilled cheese, pork jerky, and marshmallows into his bag, showcasing a cheerful gesture of bringing 'enthusiasm.'
He also commented, 'I really hate packing a lot of stuff in my carrier,' revealing a very minimal packing style with just sunglasses, a hat, two t-shirts, one pair of pants, and one pair of underwear, demonstrating his down-to-earth, manly character.
After this, Jung Dong-won met Lim Young-woong and embarked on their camping journey. The two engaged in small but sincere conversations in the car, attracting attention.
When Lim Young-woong asked if he thinks he has a strong sense of pride, Jung Dong-won replied, 'I tend to have a strong sense of pride, but I bow my head when it needs to be done.' In response to a question about his confidence, he candidly stated, 'These days, there are so many impressive people that I lack confidence.' To this, Lim Young-woong offered warm advice, saying, 'Don't compare! What Dong-won has may be cooler. Take pride in yourself,' warming the hearts of viewers.
The two stopped at a rest area for a meal, maintaining a cheerful atmosphere. While waiting for the food to arrive, when Lim Young-woong said, 'I told you to come dressed normally, and you showed up like this,' Jung Dong-won replied, 'I said I was dressing vintage, and you said it was fine, didn't you?' To which Lim Young-woong quipped, '(What I'm wearing) is vintage, that's real vintage,' triggering laughter.
That day, the two showcased a playful yet affectionate brother-like chemistry, further raising anticipation for the camping trip that will unfold in the next episode.
