Baek Hyun-jin, who warmly hugged Shin Dong-yup, shared, "During the last 'Office Workers' wrap-up party, I was on a drinking hiatus, but seeing Dong-yup drink made me want to join. This is my first drink in a month."

The conversation turned to Kim Won-hoon's 'star syndrome.' Shin Dong-yup noted, "Won-hoon is about 30 minutes late, and we need to wait another 10 minutes. He's been doing well lately, shooting commercials, so the star syndrome has hit." Baek Hyun-jin empathized, "It's that age."

Car, the Garden added, "Recently, I went to a rib restaurant with Kim Won-hoon. People usually recognize him, but he makes eye contact first and smiles when they say, 'It's Kim Won-hoon.'"

Jung Ho-cheol remarked, "People around him misunderstand Kim Won-hoon as having star syndrome," to which Car, the Garden emphasized, "It's not a misunderstanding; he has it." Baek Hyun-jin humorously added, "You can't tell someone with a disease that they're pretending. You have to treat them as if they're sick."

Despite being on a drinking hiatus, Baek Hyun-jin joked, "I said I wouldn't drink even if a beauty came, but I love you, Dong-yup, I could kill you," showing affection. Shin Dong-yup responded, "I was glad to see Hyun-jin on 'Newsroom' and 'Bae Cheol-soo's Music Camp.'"

Car, the Garden noted, "During the first meeting of 'Office Workers Season 2,' you two seemed awkward, but now you seem much closer." Baek Hyun-jin recalled, "On the first day of filming, Dong-yup offered me a drink. I woke up the next day with no memory." When referred to as a 'great actor,' he joked, "I've quit drinking, smoking, and even sex, and I'm running. Does that make me look like a great actor?"

Meanwhile, Kim Won-hoon, who was 40 minutes late, appeared without properly pulling up his pants, claiming, "I was in the bathroom," which Car, the Garden criticized as "typical behavior." Shin Dong-yup, despite expressing annoyance, bowed and apologized for his junior's tardiness.
