Actor Kim Kwang-kyu had the audience in stitches by demonstrating the textbook of meticulous social conduct, adjusting the amount of congratulatory money based on Yu Jae-seok's future "influence."
On the afternoon of the 7th, the MBC variety show Hangout With Yoo's "It's dangerous outside the blanket" episode depicted Yu Jae-seok, Kim Kwang-kyu, Haha, Heo Kyunghwan and Joo Woo-jae enjoying indoor rest to escape a cold wave of minus 13 degrees.
That day, while driving, Kim Kwang-kyu drew attention by offering to buy the members coffee in a good mood. He opened his wallet, using his mother's practical advice as an excuse, saying, "My mother nags me. Don't always let Yu Jae-seok treat you; buy sometimes." But upon entering the bakery cafe, he was flustered by members who picked not only coffee but also expensive pastries without hesitation, displaying a "stingy" charm.
The conversation naturally turned to Kim Kwang-kyu's marriage and the congratulatory money he had paid over the years. When Joo Woo-jae asked how much he had paid in total, Kim Kwang-kyu revealed his own firm "congratulatory money tiers."
He answered, "If you only know the face, usually it's 100,000 won. For those I've worked with on broadcasts, it's 300,000 won," presenting a clear standard based on the depth of the relationship. When Joo Woo-jae expressed disappointment and said, "If you go to my brother's, I was thinking of six zeros," referring to the million-won unit, Kim Kwang-kyu instead drew a line and caused laughter by saying, "That's burdensome."
Kim Kwang-kyu's pinnacle of social savvy that day emerged in a hypothetical conversation about Yu Jae-seok's child's wedding. Kim Kwang-kyu initially said he would give 1,000,000 won as congratulatory money, but when Yu Jae-seok posed the hypothetical, "But what if I'm retired and have no influence on you," Kim Kwang-kyu replied, "Then it has to be 300,000 won. Am I the same as someone still active?" and devastated the scene.
Kim Kwang-kyu's overly candid "business mind"—that he would reduce the amount to 300,000 won, the level of a "broadcast colleague," if the influence disappeared—prompted Yu Jae-seok to click his tongue and say, "I should prepare myself mentally," and Haha mocked his thorough social survival method, saying, "It's completely business," drawing laughter.
