Studio Suje web variety show 'Ganjeolhan Ip' guest 'Eiffel Tower celebrity' Paco appears and challenges an open-run to get Sungsimdang's 'strawberry siru', searching for the 'food he most desperately wanted to eat'.
The episode of 'Ganjeolhan Ip' (produced by Studio Suje), which will be released at 6:30 p.m. today (31st), unfolds as guest Paco and new MC Kim Ji-yu spend a day searching for the "desperate food" he most wanted to eat just one day before his departure.
Meeting Kim Ji-yu for the first time at Daejeon Station at 7 a.m. that day, Paco could not hide his surprise at the K-cold snap, saying "it's so cold" in the minus-13-degree weather. When Kim Ji-yu kindly handed him a hand warmer and asked his age, Paco answered that he was thirty-three and naturally called her "Ji-yu nuna," creating a warm atmosphere. Kim Ji-yu emitted her trademark cheerful energy, shouting the personal gag she adopted from Im Woo-il, "Jjaseu~," and Paco perfectly imitated it, eliciting laughter.
Kim Ji-yu asked Paco, who had completed his first visit to Korea, "When are you leaving?" and continued the conversation about his departure schedule. When Paco said he was leaving the next day, Kim Ji-yu expressed regret and asked, "What is the food you most desperately want to eat before returning to France?" Paco showed a depth of trend knowledge comparable to Koreans, saying, "I haven't tried Korean cake yet. I heard rumors about a famous bakery in Daejeon." When Kim Ji-yu attempted cross-border flirting by asking, "Are you understanding what I'm saying now? Or are you looking because you think I'm pretty?" Paco playfully replied, "Both!" displaying the witty charm befitting the 'Eiffel Tower celebrity.'
The two then set out for the open-run for Sungsimdang's 'strawberry siru,' but they were astonished by the long line that had formed early in the morning. Paco, shocked by Korea's unique open-run culture, said, "There is no waiting culture in Paris. At most three minutes," expressing fresh surprise.
Despite the grueling wait, Paco's popularity had taken over Daejeon. Fans who recognized him at the scene greeted him and showed certification photos taken in Paris, resulting in an impromptu fan meeting. Overwhelmed by fans' greetings and the onslaught of bread gifts, Paco repeatedly said "I'm so happy" and "thank you," showing deep emotion, and after about two hours of waiting, he got his hands on the 'strawberry siru' and 'matcha siru.' Seeing the enormous cake, Paco marveled, "In France that would cost 80 euros (about 130,000 won)," raising expectations for the full 'Ganjeolhan Ip' mukbang.
Another highlight is the age-gap chemistry between Kim Ji-yu and Paco as they continuously flirt with each other. Paco gently wiped Kim Ji-yu's face while she was eating cake and responded to her complaint that "my makeup is coming off" with the heart-fluttering line, "You're prettiest with a bare face." He naturally placed a hand warmer to her ear in the cold weather and asked forceful questions such as "Do you have a boyfriend? Why are you so pretty and don't have one?", electrifying the scene. Kim Ji-yu provokingly replied, "You're definitely into me," using the advantage of being older and causing uproarious laughter.
The 'Ganjeolhan Ip' episode featuring 'Eiffel Tower celebrity' Paco, which captures his mukbang of the 'Sungsimdang strawberry siru' he desperately wanted to eat before leaving Korea and his sincere 'Ganjeolhan Madi' message to Koreans, will be released on Tuesday the 31st at 6:30 p.m. on the YouTube channel 'Studio Suje'.
