'Problem Child in House' delivered delight with contrasting talk styles from actors Yoo Jun-sang and Jung Moon-sung.
The 291st episode of KBS2 variety show 'Problem Child in House season 2' (hereinafter 'Problem Child in House'), which aired on the 20th, invited actors Yoo Jun-sang and Jung Moon-sung to the rooftop room, where they waged a dopamine-inducing quiz war over outrageous questions together with Song Eun, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin Kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Woo-jae.
Actor Yoo Jun-sang, who revisited the rooftop room after four years, drew attention with his unchanged 'passion man' image. He surprised viewers by saying he always attends the first script reading having memorized 100% of the script. Yoo Jun-sang said, "If I memorize it and come, the actors who work with me can also memorize the script faster and use the time spent looking at the script to practice other things," revealing his exceptional acting passion. But Yoo Jun-sang's passion unexpectedly produced a victim, causing laughter. It was Jung Moon-sung, who appears in the same production in the same role. He confessed, "Our play is a one-person show, and there is still a long time until the first performance, but hyung has memorized the whole script and I haven't memorized it all yet, so I feel like I did something wrong," which provoked uproarious laughter.
Yoo Jun-sang also said he studied space while preparing a musical about the moon. Jung Moon-sung expressed admiration for Yoo Jun-sang's dedication to acting, saying, "When preparing a production, if I'm curious about something I usually ask the director or the writer, but for this production I asked Jun-sang hyung," noting his earnest immersion in his craft.
That day, interesting questions drew attention, such as "What did Bill Gates's parents do to develop their introverted son's social skills?", "What sudden action did balladeer Cho Yong-pil take when he first met Kim Min-ki, the head of the Hakjeon theater troupe?", "Why is velcro attached inside an astronaut's helmet?", and "Why did people flock to the Geumcheon-gu office chief's health running event even though the entry fee was 20,000 won?" Yoo Jun-sang confessed about his children's education, "Nothing turned out as planned," which drew laughter. He said, "Since they were young I took them to museums and on mountain hikes," indicating he had been passionate about education both domestically and abroad. He continued, "The kids say, 'Dad, we've done enough,'" and frankly admitted, "I didn't make the kids study, and that's my biggest regret," which produced big laughs. Yoo Jun-sang, who also exercised passionately, spoke about the time he maintained 3% body fat in the past, saying, "My current body fat percentage is in the 10s, and I'm keeping healthy with running and tennis," surprising viewers.
Above all, variety show novice Jung Moon-sung unleashed a bewitching charm that day. Jung Moon-sung said, "I'm a bit shy, but people who are close to me say I'm the funniest," signaling his hidden talent for variety. In particular, his unique questions made the rooftop members laugh. He asked Kim Jong-kook, "If the law banned all exercise and allowed only one exercise to be done, which would you choose?" and asked Hong Jin Kyung, "Do you make people laugh without calculation, and how do you feel when people laugh?" which had the rooftop members in stitches. Joo Woo-jae admired it as "the freshest question of the year," and Kim Sook laughed, calling it "such a fun question," praising the question's top-level freshness.
Jung Moon-sung touted his special connections by revealing the story of appearing in films and dramas on the recommendation of Hakjeon theater troupe seniors Kim Yoon-seok and Jang Hyun-sung, and by disclosing a small group with Jo Seung-woo, Tae In-ho, and Lee Kyu-hyung. Hong Jin Kyung marveled, "You have luck with people," and said, "Listening to your story makes me want to take care of you. If you give me your address I'll send you some kimchi," even promising a gift of kimchi. Joo Woo-jae also admitted he was unconsciously drawn to Jung Moon-sung's bewitching charm, saying, "He has a charm like he's cultivating a character."
'Problem Child in House,' where dopamine-exploding chatter and quiz wars unfold on the rooftop room, airs every Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on KBS2.
