Song Jong-kook is set to make his entertainment debut after overcoming the pain of divorce.
Today, on August 13 (Wednesday), the tvN STORY program 'What to Do with Leftovers' will feature a gourmet tour with Choi Yong-soo, Lee Keun-ho, Kim Young-kwang, Seol Ki-hyun, and Song Jong-kook in celebration of the 2026 North and Central American World Cup.
In a noteworthy revelation, Choi Yong-soo, a legend of the 1998 France World Cup, known as the 'Eagle of the Ground,' has first approached the show 'What to Do with Leftovers' due to his admiration for MC Young-ja and Se-ri. Lee Keun-ho, a legend of the 2014 Brazil World Cup known as the 'Eternal Son of the Sun,' makes a spectacular entrance but stumbles while showcasing his dazzling footwork, while Kim Young-kwang, a 'Man of No Goals Conceded' and goalkeeper of the 2010 South Africa World Cup team, fails to block a powerful kick from fellow MC Se-ri during a penalty shootout, drawing laughter. Seol Ki-hyun, a key player in the semifinal myth of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup and the hero of the equalizing goal against Italy, showcases a sizable appetite recognized by his teammates along with his journey to adapt to the entertainment world as a beginner.
First, MC Se-ri seeks a special duck restorative dish in the first course prepared under the title 'We Are Still Hungry.' Choi Yong-soo tastes duck stir-fry, made with young duck meat raised on sulfur and omega-3, boiled in a rich broth from duck leg bones, and praises it as a flavor that cannot be distinguished from beef. Meanwhile, MC Young-ja recreates the bubble kiss scene from the 'drama' Secret Garden using walnut soybean noodle soup, causing Seol Ki-hyun sitting next to her to hastily avert his gaze in refusal, triggering laughter.
The second course continues the feast with MC Young-ja's soul food: grilled fish. A lavish table is filled with grilled mackerel, grilled spanish mackerel, spicy seasoned grilled mackerel, and barley salted fish, complemented by a rich spread that includes crab marinated in seasoned soy sauce and crab marinated in spicy sauce, captivating the taste buds of food friends.
The playful chemistry of the 'World Cup legends' surpassing the national team-level eating show also builds anticipation. Choi Yong-soo, known for his overwhelming charisma, draws laughter as he is chosen as the fifth water boy after a rock-paper-scissors match involving Park Tae-hwan, Lee Dae-ho, Kim Min-jong, and Lee Dong-gook. Choi Yong-soo also undergoes a transformation into a professional water boy by preparing fried duck eggs with a performance rivaling Chef Choi Hyun-seok. However, he eventually experiences a breakdown when faced with detailed requests from his juniors, such as 'a soft yolk with a sprinkle of salt' and 'please add a touch of soy sauce,' eliciting laughter.
Curiosity arises as MC Young-ja and Choi Yong-soo reveal they almost got married in the past. Reacting to the episode shared by MC Se-ri, who humorously says, 'You should have married back then,' Lee Young-ja and Choi Yong-soo reminisce about their past with laughter and engage in playful banter. When Lee Young-ja finally opens up about her romantic past, stating, 'I like tall people with small eyes,' Choi Yong-soo humorously widens his eyes in surprise, generating laughter. Meanwhile, Lee Keun-ho, Kim Young-kwang, Seol Ki-hyun, and Song Jong-kook share stories that elicit both big laughter and emotion about their World Cup team selections. In particular, Lee Keun-ho draws attention as he shares an episode where he received great comfort from Park Joo-ho after suffering the shock of not making the final roster for the 2010 South Africa World Cup. Additionally, the World Cup legends reveal their predictions for the 2026 North and Central American World Cup, attracting interest.
'What to Do with Leftovers' is a food and talk variety entertainment show that fully enjoys food while leaving behind relationships and stories. The playful and delicious day-trip food tour concept, 'What to Do with Leftovers,' with Captain Lee Young-ja and Park Se-ri inviting guests, adds to the fun as they wonder which food friends might join.
'What to Do with Leftovers,' featuring a gourmet tour celebrating the 2026 North and Central American World Cup with World Cup legends, will air tonight (13th) at 8 p.m. on tvN STORY.
