Choo Sung Hoon, Kwak Jun Bin, and Lee Eun Ji made viewers laugh through their tumultuous trip to Egypt.
On the 6th (Saturday), the 7th episode of the EBS and ENA co-produced program 'Choo Sung Hoon's Worth of Food' not only showcased the unprecedented halt of Choo Sung Hoon, Kwak Jun Bin, and Lee Eun Ji's part-time job but also offered a local travel experience enjoying the unique sights and foods of Egypt.
Upon arriving in Egypt, 'Worthy of Food' received a welcome kit that included activity expenses excluding food costs and a guidebook, along with a job listing for part-time bakers at a bakery. Notably, upon learning that the hourly wage was about 900 won, the accountant Kwak Jun Bin expressed concern, saying, "I don't think I can manage in just three hours? I feel like I might have to work all day tomorrow?" hinting at the daunting journey to earn their food costs.
Choo Sung Hoon, having saved 8,000 won from his trip to Yanbian, China, decided to have a cheap meal at the market, where 'Worthy of Food' found a filling meal of koshari, an Egyptian staple food that includes pasta, macaroni, rice, and fried onion, served with tomato sauce, for 3,000 won.
The next day, 'Worthy of Food' headed to the bakery on a microbus that had a destination but no fixed route, stops, or bus numbers. Sitting closest to the door, Choo Sung Hoon handed over the bus fare of a passenger seated behind him to the driver, effortlessly taking on the role of a door attendant and bringing laughter.
The bread delivery team, Choo Sung Hoon and Kwak Jun Bin, began their delivery practice while dough manager Lee Eun Ji started kneading flour. However, an unexpected situation arose that prevented them from continuing their work. Although they had obtained filming permission, communication issues on the authorities' side meant that the approval had not been conveyed, forcing them to end their work. The bakery owner, filled with regret and disappointment, handed them the promised daily wage of 270 pounds, showing warm generosity to 'Worthy of Food', who valued every bit of their budget. Later, the three spent a whopping 350 pounds out of 385 pounds on camel meat, which is relatively inexpensive, enjoying a meal in the Egyptian style.
Meanwhile, the UFO footage filmed by Choo Sung Hoon captured the attention of viewers. After Lee Eun Ji speculated that the unidentified object in the footage was a fruit fly, Kwak Jun Bin did the same, leading Choo Sung Hoon to provide a witty response, saying, "Everyone can think differently," showcasing his unwavering passion as a mystery enthusiast and adding fresh amusement. Choo Sung Hoon, who held a particular affection for the pyramids, demonstrated a deep understanding of their structure and showed genuine reactions while exploring the interiors, hinting at the depth of his affection.
On the other hand, when 'Worthy of Food' rode camels to the Sphinx, the skills of negotiation master Kwak Jun Bin shone brightly. After mentoring Lee Eun Ji in premium bargaining, upon arriving at their destination, he directly showed the vendor the official bank exchange rate when he tried to charge 200 pounds more than the agreed amount, smoothly resolving the situation.
The unpredictable travel log of Choo Sung Hoon, Kwak Jun Bin, and Lee Eun Ji will continue on the 13th (Saturday) at 7:50 p.m. on EBS and ENA's 'Choo Sung Hoon's Worth of Food.'
