‘Country Cop Returns’ returns after 5 years.
On the 19th, MBC Every1's entertainment show 'Country Police Returns' premiered. Kim Yong-man, Kim Seong-ju, Ahn Jung-hwan, and Jeong Hyeong-don, whose average age is 50.75 years old, took on the challenge of becoming a rural police officer.
From the opening of this day's broadcast, the members expressed their expectations and affection for 'Country Cop Returns'. Seongju Kim said, “I really liked this program. He revealed that he was a regular listener of the program, saying, “I really like helping the elderly.” He continued, “This program cannot be done if we do not join forces. “We must help each other,” he said.
The members headed to the Gyeongbuk Police Agency to receive training for new police officers. The members were shown struggling from the first broadcast, receiving training in reporting, arrest techniques, equipment training, and live shooting training.
In particular, a dizzying situation occurred in which Kim Yong-man, who was training on arrest techniques, sniped at the mischievousness of a senior police officer who played the role of a criminal, causing laughter. In the live-fire training that followed, Kim Yong-man, who started shooting from the thigh, continued to shoot at Nangsim, earning him the unexpected nickname of 'Nangsim sniper.'
Meanwhile, Kim Seong-ju and Jeong Hyeong-don, who began training in two-person arrest techniques against a senior police officer who was a gold medalist in jiu-jitsu, brought laughter with their ridiculous stamina. Kim Yong-man expressed his frustration at the sight of this duo struggling to arrest a senior police officer, shouting, “We’ll have to hit the nail on the head.” In addition, Kim Seong-ju, who expressed confidence in his marksmanship training by saying that he was a special marksman during his military days, surprised people by showing off his ridiculous shooting skills.
The unexpected visuals of the members wearing police uniforms added to the fun. First, seeing Jung Hyung-don in uniform, Ahn Jung-hwan gave a sharp diss, asking, “Are you a Chinese police officer?” and Jung Hyung-don responded, “Are you a Korean police officer?” “It’s not public security,” he explained. Kim Yong-man captured attention by giving off the impression of a Japanese police officer, while Kim Seong-ju exuded the vibe of a station master. The members said, “There is only one police officer, Ahn Jung-hwan. He made a self-mocking comment, saying, “Korea, China, and Japan have all come together.”
Amid congratulations from senior police officers, the members, who received a letter of appointment directly from the head of the Gyeongbuk District Office, finally headed to their workplace, the Imdong Police Station. As their first mission, the members went on a geographical patrol of the area with the police station chief, and traveled along the national highway to learn about the history of the village. The members, who once again felt the responsibility of the police through geographic patrol within the district, strengthened their resolve to protect the beautiful village.
