Joo Woo-jae named Gang Dong-won and Lee Joon-gi among the "four kings of Changwon."
On KBS2 Problem Child in House, Joo Woo-jae causes a stir by self-designating himself as one of the "four kings of Changwon."
The 315th episode, airing at 8:30 p.m. on the 21st, features MZ icon VV and "country bumpkin icon" Yang Sang-guk, who appear and show off a unique chemistry and lively banter.
That day the Ocktops heat up as they greet guests from Gyeongsang Province and boast about their dialect skills. In particular, Joo Woo-jae displays pride, saying "born in Geoje, from Changwon, thats how it is." In response, Kim Jong Kook, the "Joo Woo-jae sniper," fires back, "Why does his dialect sound so awkward?" as he questions Joo Woo-jae's origins and provokes laughter.
But Joo Woo-jae's "Changwon pride" is not easily broken. Meeting VV, who spent her school years in Changwon, he freely shows a hometown bond. Eventually the two insist, when the topic "entertainment industry Changwon four kings" comes up, "we two must be included," and declare "senior Gang Dong-won, senior Lee Joon-gi, VV and Joo Woo-jae are the 'four kings of Changwon'" as they stage a self-coronation that draws criticism.
At that point, when some argued that Masan should be included as part of "Changwon Special City" and that Hwang Jung-min and Kang Ho-dong, who are from Masan, should be included in the lineup, Kim Jong Kook shook his head at Joo Woo-jae, saying "I find it hard to accept you being mentioned in this lineup," which reportedly had everyone in stitches.
Meanwhile, as the "four kings of Changwon" debate heated up, "Crown prince of Gimhae" Yang Sang-guk said, "Among famous people from Gimhae there is the great actor Song Kang-ho. Next is Yang Sang-guk," slyly angling for a spot in the "Gimhae two greats" and drawing attention. But Song Eun I shot back, "Beat the Gimhae sweet persimmon first," which reportedly turned the set into a sea of laughter.
In fact, Gang Dong-won and Lee Joon-gi are from Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do; Gang Dong-won was known for being a good student during his school years. He graduated from Geochang High School, a prestigious nonstandardized high school that recruits students nationwide, and also graduated from Hanyang University with a degree in mechanical engineering.
Meanwhile, KBS2 variety show Problem Child in House (hereafter "Problem Child") is a dopamine-inducing quiz war in which problem children gather in the rooftop room to become "brainy" amid a flood of miscellaneous knowledge from the world, and features competitions among Song Eun I, Kim Sook, Kim Jong Kook, Hong Jin Kyung, Yang Se-chan and Joo Woo-jae.
