Comedian Heo Kyunghwan felt genuine apprehension over the 'regular member' spot as actor Kim Kwang-kyu's vigorous performance posed a real threat.
On the 24th episode of MBC Hangout With Yoo (hereinafter "Hangout With Yoo"), in a "together play Jini" special, the members were shown leaving for Jeju Island to fulfill Choi Hong-man's wish.
That day, due to a flight delay, Heo Kyunghwan, Haha and Joo Woo-jae joined late, leaving Yu Jae-seok and Kim Kwang-kyu to handle the Jeju itinerary first. Kim Kwang-kyu expressed his expectation, saying, "Is this how I become a regular?" and Yu Jae-seok added, "You can say Kwang-kyu hyung handled the front part," which stirred Heo Kyunghwan's unease.
Arriving late in Jeju, Heo Kyunghwan, upon hearing of Kim Kwang-kyu's strong performance, expressed his alarm, saying, "Enemies are everywhere," and, seeing Kim Kwang-kyu, challenged him with, "Hyungnim, when did you get here?" However, Kim Kwang-kyu shot back, "Did a guest come?" and successfully seized the initiative.
Yu Jae-seok added, "Kwang-kyu hyung is a segment ghost right now," and Joo Woo-jae also supported Kim Kwang-kyu's performance, saying, "Didn't the hyungs go around for two hours first?" In response, Heo Kyunghwan could not hide his increasingly stiffening expression.
The situation did not change even during the drive. Seeing Kim Kwang-kyu struggling to sit beside the "giant" Choi Hong-man, the members burst into laughter, saying, "He's enduring that to become a regular," but Heo Kyunghwan, unable to laugh, repeatedly swept back his hair and showed his anxiety.
When Joo Woo-jae joked, "Aren't there three candidates for regulars now?", Heo Kyunghwan cried out, "How did I get this far?", and when Choi Hong-man asked about other program invitations, Heo Kyunghwan, eyeing the production staff, hurriedly drew a line, saying, "I won't go."
But Kim Kwang-kyu quipped, "You can go. I'm here, aren't I?", rattling Heo Kyunghwan's nerves again, and Haha piled on the pressure, saying, "The recording is Thursday. Think carefully," which drew laughs.<
