'Earth Arcade' expanded 'Space Rice Cake Shop' welcomes part-timers aespa Karina, Gabee and Doh Kyung Soo.
'Space Rice Cake Shop' Lee Youngji's words come true.
tvN's Space Rice Cake Shop (directed by Na Youngseok, Kim Yesul), which will premiere at 8:35 p.m. on Friday, July 31, released a Highlight video that delivers great fun by depicting the chaotic journey from Goheung to Seoul set in motion by a single remark from Lee Youngji.
'Space Rice Cake Shop' is a program that documents the penalty shift of Lee Eunji, Mimi, Lee Youngji and An Yujin doing part-time work at the Space Rice Cake Shop after failing the room escape mission created by Torong in 'Earth Arcade 2.' The four, who delivered powerful laughter synergy each season, return with a new episode.
The Highlight video opens with the Jiraks reacting in surprise to news from headquarters that a second branch will open in Seoul, immediately capturing attention. When main chef Lee Youngji suddenly lies down on the floor, Lee Eunji says, "You said you were going to Seoul. That's why we prepared this," suggesting they are getting what they sowed. The production team even jokes that if Lee Youngji wants to, they'll push to go to the United States, provoking laughter.
It also foreshadows a grueling workplace as the Jiraks, who by default have full audio, forget to speak. When Lee Youngji says, "'Earth Arcade' always has success proportional to how difficult it is," An Yujin asks, "How successful will it be?" and everyone smiles with a resigned expression, heightening anticipation.
The novice merchants learn the hardships of running a business firsthand as they atone for their karma of saying they would make the rice cakes themselves. Contrary to typical restaurant operation variety shows, there are times when not a single customer comes, and labor-management conflicts arise.
Meanwhile, the combination of state-of-the-art point-of-sale systems, sturdy part-timers, dreams of franchising and the desire to go to Seoul culminate in the reality of opening a Seoul store, drawing attention. At the larger Seoul location compared with the Goheung store, aespa Karina, Gabee and Doh Kyung Soo are scheduled to join as day part-timers, raising curiosity about their chemistry with the Jiraks.
'Space Rice Cake Shop' follows the currently airing GBRB: Farm Operation - Go Go Farm, and Doh Kyung Soo will appear consecutively as a part-timer on 'GBRB' and then on 'Space Rice Cake Shop'.<
