'Omniscient Interfering View' reveals the special travelogue of 217cm "Gulliver" Choi Hong-man, who traveled to Biyangdo, the youngest island of Jeju.
In the 377th episode of the MBC entertainment program "Omniscient Interfering View," airing today (20th), Choi Hong-man, who said he grew up looking at Biyangdo from the Halmim Sea in Jeju, sets out on an island trip following childhood memories. First, all eyes are on the passenger ship boarding of the "217cm" giant, which even made the airplane look small. The ship carrying the giant rocked violently as soon as it set sail, and Choi Hong-man created a spectacle by grabbing the ceiling frame and moving to keep his balance. It raises curiosity whether this rocking is due to the wind or the "giant effect."
After arriving at Biyangdo, Choi Hong-man enjoys a long-awaited moment of leisure amid picture-perfect scenery. He recalled, "When I was young I danced looking at Biyangdo from the Halmim Sea," and revealed the behind-the-scenes story that "I was scouted by the high school and university athletics teams that came for training and became a ssireum wrestler." Then, as he set out to tour Biyangdo, he challenged himself to ride a bicycle, but the question "is there really a bicycle a giant can ride?" followed. Soon Choi Hong-man lifted a two-seat bicycle with one hand, confidently sat on the saddle, and left everyone astonished. The giant riding a bicycle and Choi Hong-man's "giant chronicles" can be seen in the broadcast.
After finishing his trip to Biyangdo and returning to Jeju, Choi Hong-man prepares for Christmas with his romantic interest "Ttongku." To choose a gift for Ttongku, who is 10 years his junior and resembles Han Ye-seul, he visits a Christmas market and immediately draws attention in the middle of a small Santa village. A scene reminiscent of an image from the animation "Attack on Titan" unfolds. Despite his huge frame, Choi Hong-man's surprising "romantic" side, as he carefully inspects tiny trinkets one by one to pick a gift for Ttongku, is expected to paint the studio pink.
At a regular restaurant they visit next, a "Hong-man-only" menu appears and draws attention. After ordering "the usual," the food that appears before them is a staggering "100 pieces of sushi." Choi Hong-man demonstrates an unbelievable mukbang by putting five pieces of sushi in his mouth at once, devastating the scene. Even mukbang queen "Tzuyang," watching in the studio, was reportedly astonished by the giant's appetite.
Also, the broadcast will reveal Choi Hong-man's retirement plans for the first time. He said he is preparing a retirement match in the second half of next year, and while candidly discussing his concerns about life after retirement, heartfelt advice from his "life manager" Ahn Deok-gi, who has watched over Choi Hong-man, will add a gentle resonance. Airs tonight at 11:10 p.m.
