The episode of
SBS
That day, Zo In-sung, Park Jeongmin, and Park Hae-jun warmed up the atmosphere with chatter ranging from recent updates to baseball talk with Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok as soon as they appeared. Then Zo In-sung said, "If Jae-seok hyung is in a gaming slump, I'm suffering from performance anxiety. Lately I have no competitive drive so I just say 'let's say you won,'" expressing concern, and Park Hae-jun timidly joined in, saying, "I'm not very good at games either," which provoked laughter. Meanwhile Park Jeongmin declared, "I am the embodiment of competitive drive. I'll show you," setting a different determination from the others and instantly raising Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok's expectations.
The first 틈 owner visited by Yu Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, Zo In-sung, Park Jeongmin, and Park Hae-jun was the owner of a leather workshop. The 틈 owner, who runs 'Gangdong's salon,' captivated everyone with exceptional affability. The 틈 mission was "자 알까기," which involved moving a button on a right-angle ruler for leathercraft. Park Jeongmin and Park Hae-jun succeeded at level 1 on their first attempt, and Zo In-sung was moved, saying, "We had talent!" But when Yu Jae-seok repeatedly made mistakes in the relay 알까기, Zo In-sung scolded him, "What's wrong with that guy!" prompting laughter. Yet 'the embodiment of competition' Park Jeongmin miraculously completed level 3 with a finishing 알까기, thrilling everyone. Zo In-sung said, "Adrenaline is pumping," and Park Jeongmin said, "I feel so good," even taking off his cherished scarf, which drew laughs.
At lunchtime, Zo In-sung, true to his nickname 'son of Gangdong,' showed off his knowledge of popular restaurants one after another. When Zo In-sung even checked on the well-being of the owner of a regular haunt, Yoo Yeon-seok marveled, "You know every corner of the neighborhood." At that moment Park Jeongmin once again rose to the title of 'king of games' by betting on lunch, drawing attention. After Park Jeongmin succeeded at the 틈 mission, the lunch bet was on the line. When Zo In-sung said, "He's the king of games, king," and gave a thumbs-up, Yu Jae-seok chimed in, "Jeongmin, it's you today," provoking laughter.
They met the second 틈 owners at an MZ hangout. The four 틈 owners overwhelmed the five men with a unique startup story—"I traveled solo nationwide and encountered the culture of drinking alone bars and decided to open a place myself"—and high-energy enthusiasm. The second 틈 mission was 'bottle pong.' The game succeeded if a ping-pong ball bounced and knocked down the target ball on top of a bottle. In just their third attempt, thanks to the efforts of Yu Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Zo In-sung, they passed levels 1 and 2, surprising everyone. Contrary to his confession that he was bad at games, Park Hae-jun asked, "Give me two hours of practice," getting overly absorbed and drawing laughs. Finally, after the ninth attempt, following Zo In-sung's perfect hit and Park Jeongmin's finishing shot, they succeeded at level 3 and let loose a dopamine rush. Park Jeongmin said, "I keep thinking about it and can't sleep," leaving a strong impression.
Yu Jae-seok, Yoo Yeon-seok, Zo In-sung, Park Jeongmin, and Park Hae-jun completed an epic dopamine narrative with flawless chemistry and a streak of thrilling mission victories. In particular, Park Jeongmin delivered a fierce performance befitting the embodiment of competitive drive, steering the flow of the game and providing an exhilarating thrill.
