'Dokbak Tour 4' Im Woo-il, "I became a comedian thanks to an ex-girlfriend, but on her wedding day I emceed another wedding nearby" a heavy confession New window to mail 'Dokbak Tour 4' joined by Im Woo-il as the first 'travel friend' of the new year, he paid about 80,000 won for a top-grade durian solo-payment and then was hit by a 'reality check'.
On the 10th episode of Channel S' Ni Don Nae San Dokbak Tour 4 (Channel S, co-produced by SK Broadband) episode 32, Kim Dae-hee x Kim Jun-ho x Jang Dong-min x Yoo Se-yoon x Hong In-gyu teamed up with trending comedian Im Woo-il, starting from Kuala Lumpur night market in Malaysia and taking in a mysterious temple located at 1,400 meters above sea level and a theme park, making viewers' time 'fly by'.
That day, the 'Dokbakz' and Im Woo-il visited the 'Jalan Alor' night market, where a long row of food stalls stretches. At a restaurant where they could taste fresh seafood, they wildly ordered spicy stir-fried squid, Nyonya-style steamed sea bass, garlic clam stir-fry, and more, and enjoyed lively conversation with cold beer. At that time Kim Jun-ho asked Im Woo-il, "You said earlier we should walk here to save transportation money, right?" Kim Dae-hee also asked the pointed question, "Did you save money like that and buy a house?" Im Woo-il emphasized his 'spirit of saving' again, saying, "I just started earning now…" Then Kim Jun-ho advised, "Women dislike men who are overly frugal," and Im Woo-il made a confident remark, "Women I date casually might think that way, but someone I would consider marrying sees this side of me as an advantage."
When the topic turned to girlfriends, the 'Dokbakz' set the stage, saying, "Woo-il, tell us a love story." Im Woo-il told the story of a girlfriend he dated in his 20s who encouraged his dream and helped him become a comedian. He went on, "That friend got married (to another man), and by coincidence I was emceeing another wedding nearby on that wedding day. It felt strange. After the wedding I went to a karaoke room and cried while singing Lee Seung-hwan's 'How Can Love Be Like That?' " Everyone deeply empathized, and Im Woo-il asked, "Don't you all have someone like that? Someone you think of because you couldn't treat them well when you were dating?" 'Wife admirer' Kim Dae-hee explosively shouted, "I don't have anything like that! Man!" and blew up the scene.
After a delicious meal, they picked the person who would pay the meal solo. They asked a local, "Who of us is the prettiest?" and whoever came in last would pay the solo bill. Kim Jun-ho confidently proposed the game first but finished last, and in the end he paid, saying, "I'll generously treat you~," drawing laughter. For dessert they decided to try the famous Malaysian 'Musang King durian.' As a top grade, one cost about 80,000 won, and here they played 'The Game of Death' to decide the durian payer, making Im Woo-il the solo payer. He lowered his head, saying, "I don't even buy 8,000 won fruits because they're expensive…," but after tasting the Musang King durian he happily said, "It's on another level!" 'Ban durian faction' Jang Dong-min also gave a thumbs-up, saying, "It's definitely different. The durian smell is barely noticeable and it's smooth." The six happily returned to their lodging and then started paying the first night's accommodation fee. In the toy doll race, after a long close contest, Kim Dae-hee became the final solo payer.
The next morning, the 'Dokbakz' and Im Woo-il headed to Chin Swee Temple located 1,400 meters above sea level and a theme park known as Malaysia's little Las Vegas. To reach the highland they rode a high-speed cable car and chatted while enjoying the scenery. During that time Jang Dong-min asked, "I heard Woo-il's grandfather is a famous calligrapher — is that true?" Im Woo-il replied, "My grandfather is famous for drawing bamboo well. Our family is on the calligraphy side, but I'm the only one who's a clown(?)" In response, Hong In-gyu suggested a shocking performance, "You should try brush calligraphy with your (long) hair! Hang from a stick~," making everyone burst into laughter.
Shortly after arriving at Chin Swee Temple, they viewed the giant Buddha statue and a wish-granting bell and, with reverent hearts, made new year wishes. 'Newlywed' Kim Jun-ho rang the bell saying, "Please let me have a pretty child in the new year." But when the bell sounded too quietly, the 'Dokbakz' teased, "Buddha might be debating whether to grant your wish." Im Woo-il mentioned the rule 'one wish per bell strike' and said, "I'll use my wish for Jun-ho hyung." He then said, "Please let senior Kim Jun-ho and his wife have a healthy child," showing warm solidarity.
Next, they toured a place modeled on 10 hells and then entered the long-awaited theme park. There, the 'Dokbakz' and Im Woo-il played a solo-payment game for all-day passes and snack money, and in a basketball game, Hong In-gyu suffered a crushing defeat. Amid the chaotic chemistry, the 'Dokbakz' said, "We're this far, so we should ride the roller coaster~" and chose four people to ride by playing rock-paper-scissors. Kim Jun-ho and Jang Dong-min, who suffer from acrophobia, luckily won and were exempted from riding, while the remaining four rode the extremely fast roller coaster and delivered 'soul-leaving' moments, drawing big laughs.
The 'Dokbakz' and travel friend Im Woo-il's wild Malaysia travelogue and the identity of the member who will be punished with the most solo penalties and have to dress as a 'banana man' can be seen in episode 33 of Channel S' Ni Don Nae San Dokbak Tour 4, airing on the 17th (Sat) at 9 p.m.
