On the premiere episode of tvN's 'Kong Kong Pang Pang', Lee Kwang-soo expressed concerns over Kim Woo-bin's attention-seeking behavior.
The show, which aired on the 17th, features KKPP Food CEO Lee Kwang-soo, auditor Kim Woo-bin, and director Do Kyung-soo embarking on an overseas cultural exploration.
During the episode, Lee Kwang-soo was pleased to receive 10 million won out of the total 18 million won budget. Do Kyung-soo, who was allocated 4 million won, suggested, "I never thought of myself as the CEO. Let's divide it equally," but Lee Kwang-soo insisted, "That would undermine the company's discipline," expressing satisfaction.
When asked to choose their travel destination, the trio deliberated for two hours. Lee Kwang-soo wanted to see the Canadian Rockies, while Do Kyung-soo preferred not to visit nearby countries. Kim Woo-bin suggested Mexico, saying, "I think we can go to Canada later."
On the day of departure, Lee Kwang-soo was the first to arrive, surprised by Kim Woo-bin's appearance in a white tuxedo and bow tie, which caused both shock and laughter.
Kim Woo-bin explained, "Since we're starting a new season, I wanted to show respect to the viewers. I might not be able to maintain this during the trip, so I dressed up until the immigration check."
Lee Kwang-soo commented, "You should have told us beforehand," but added, "You might get a lot of negative comments. It seems like you want to be noticed." Producer Na Young-seok joked, "You look like a struggling magician who just debuted," causing laughter.
Do Kyung-soo, who arrived last, was speechless at Kim Woo-bin's outfit. Lee Kwang-soo explained, "He woke up at 3:30 AM," while Kim Woo-bin criticized Do Kyung-soo's casual attire, saying, "You have no manners." Do Kyung-soo, who woke up 15 minutes before, apologized, "I'm sorry," but was amazed, asking, "Are you really going to the airport like that?"
When Do Kyung-soo expressed concern about Kim Woo-bin's courage, Kim Woo-bin admitted, "I'm not confident." With all eyes on him at the airport, Kim Woo-bin reassured himself, "I have to be confident. I dressed respectfully." Lee Kwang-soo lamented, "Unless you're desperate for attention," while Do Kyung-soo remarked, "People might think it's a punishment."
Just before the immigration check, Kim Woo-bin changed his outfit, prompting Lee Kwang-soo to say, "He needs treatment. This might be our last trip with Woo-bin, so let's throw a farewell party." Do Kyung-soo added, "I think he has a bit of an attention-seeking trait."
Upon arriving in Mexico, the trio was unable to use public transportation due to the fans gathered at the airport. Lee Kwang-soo humorously shouted, "Don't underestimate us!"
Before coming to Mexico, Kim Woo-bin watched 'Walking into the World' and entrusted his 1 million won white shoes to a 50 peso (about $3) shoe shine. The result was disastrous, with the expensive shoe leather soaked. He remained calm, valuing the experience.
