Comedian Kang Yumi satirized Pungja about "Asung Daiso Co. phone-snatched man."
On the 23rd, Kang Yumi's YouTube channel Kang Yumi yumi kang joh-aseo haneun chaeneol released a video titled "Asung Daiso Co. phone-snatched man."
The video depicted Kang Yumi in a dual role portraying a man who, insisting he prefers frugal women at Asung Daiso Co., brazenly approaches and gets a woman's number, and the woman's bewildered reaction.
The man said that a woman picking out items at Asung Daiso Co. looked "frugal and modest," judged her as a "bride material" by his own peculiar standards and demanded her number. When the woman refused, saying she had a boyfriend or that she would report him, he dismissed it as "playing hard to get" or a matter of "charm" and persistently followed her.
When the man learned the woman had been on a "working holiday" and was using expensive wireless earphones, he called her a "deceitful woman" and eliminated her from bride consideration. However, when the woman said she was going to ride a public bike, he said "cute" and fell for her again. Through this video, Kang Yumi satirized the baseless confidence and lack of consideration toward others that characterize the "phone-snatched man."
"Asung Daiso Co. phone-snatched" is an act that has been spreading after "Kyobo Bookstore phone-snatched." As large bookstores, once used as places to get phone numbers, became difficult to use for that purpose, people chose Asung Daiso Co. as an alternative, and shopping at Asung Daiso Co. has become controversial with interpretations that it indicates frugality and a high likelihood of saving money.
