From the start of the trip, Lee Eun Ji faces the possibility of being stripped of her search manager qualifications.
The first episode of the ENA and EBS co-produced 'Choo Sung Hoon's It's Time to Earn Your Keep', which will air tomorrow (26th) at 7:50 p.m., features 'ajoshi' Choo Sung Hoon challenging extreme jobs around the world and enjoying local experiences enough to earn his keep.
In this broadcast, Choo Sung Hoon, Kwak Jun Bin, and Lee Eun Ji embark on their first journey to Chongqing, China, one of the home grounds of mala food. In particular, Lee Eun Ji, who is in charge of searches, showcases her 'search fairy' prowess by sharing market information around her accommodation as soon as they arrive at Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport.
However, a crisis strikes the 'search fairy' in the taxi heading to the accommodation when she is tasked with finding the accommodation address. She struggles to show the taxi driver the accommodation address in Chinese. Kwak Jun Bin lends a helping hand and attempts to communicate with the taxi driver using a translation app, but the translator fails to function properly.
To make matters worse, when the internet suddenly goes down, the 'eat earners' cannot hide their dismay. Lee Eun Ji worries, saying, "What if we end up in Shanghai like this?" This sets the stage for the 'eat earners' to face challenges right from the start, raising curiosity about whether they will safely arrive at their accommodation.
Meanwhile, on their first day of not working, the production team provides special meal expenses. Based on an hour, they receive 23 yuan, which is about 4,600 won, the minimum wage in Chongqing, and they must solve their meals with that amount. This sparks an initial confrontation between Kwak Jun Bin, who suggests looking for a restaurant for dinner, and Choo Sung Hoon, who suggests going out to ask people.
Will the action-oriented Choo Sung Hoon and the research-oriented Kwak Jun Bin reach an agreement? This will be revealed in the first episode of 'Choo Sung Hoon's It's Time to Earn Your Keep' airing tomorrow (26th) at 7:50 p.m. on ENA and EBS.
