Hong Jin-kyung succeeds in her first bungee jump in 30 years since her debut
In the 62nd episode of 'Hong Kim Dong-jeon', which aired on the 23rd, members who transformed into various types of birds with the dress code 'bird' opened the gate to select a flying bird in a bungee jump.
Joo Woo-jae transformed into a Thanksgiving 'turkey' with red lips, Jo Se-ho transformed into a 'crowned toucan', and Kim Sook transformed into a 'sukmu bird'. Next, Hong Jin-kyung, covering her entire body with dark blue feathers and showing off a dark aura, appeared and introduced herself as “an eagle,” but was bombarded with questions from puzzled members, and eventually Hong Jin-kyung said, “There are some circumstances at home. “My mom is a dove and my dad is an eagle,” he confessed the secret of Bandulbandok’s birth, causing laughter. Members who have transformed into various birds, including Wooyoung, who has completely transformed into 'Psy's' bird, have made each other excited by recommending each other as the only bird to jump off the bungee jumping platform. Joo Woo-jae recalled that Hong Jin-kyung mentioned his banned word 46 times during the last 'banned word game', and when other members joined in, Hong Jin-kyung caused an earthquake in her pupils, raising expectations as to who would be the protagonist of the bungee jump. Hong Jin-kyung leaned on Wooyoung, but Wooyoung heightened interest by saying to Hong Jin-kyung, “If I win an award, I really want you to divorce me,” showing his determination to film until the end of the year. With Hong Jin-kyung as the likely 'bird' of the day, the production team proposed Hong Jin-kyung Roulette, which would determine the member who would become the final bird through a game, and the members struggled to keep their names from being included in the roulette.
The first game is the ‘banned language game’ decided by the members themselves. Kim Sook, Hong Jin-kyung, and Jo Se-ho were satisfied with the same banned word for Joo Woo-jae and Woo-young as 'sister'. However, Jo Se-ho also decided to ban the word 'sister', foreshadowing the 'nunamu bird' of the trio of younger brothers. The final banned words were 'nega' for Hong Jin-kyung, 'Jin-kyung' for Kim Sook, and 'sister' for Joo Woo-jae, Woo-young, and Jo Se-ho. As soon as the game started, the number of mentions of banned words by Jo Se-ho increased exponentially. When Jo Se-ho, who had Kim Sook as his next target, proposed a game called 'Giant of True Views', Kim Sook, who had no way of knowing that it was a forbidden word, shouted 'True Views' 8 times, and Jo Se-ho immediately suggested a 'Giant of True Views'. However, the sharp-witted Kim Sook changed the suggested word to 'sister', and Jo Se-ho, Joo Woo-jae, and Woo-young all cheerfully shouted "sister" and steadily accumulated points for banned words. As the end time of the game approached, Joo Woo-jae, who belatedly sensed the situation, was distressed and asked, “Did I suffer the same thing?” Joo Woo-jae, who shouted “sister” number 67, took first place, beating Jo Se-ho, who shouted number 64, and Wooyoung, who shouted number 65. . The contrast between Joo Woo-jae's chagrined expression, unable to accept the result, and Woo-young running at full speed to the filming location, happy as if he had everything in the world, drew laughter. Hong Jin-kyung was happy, saying, “This is my first time seeing Woo-jae get hurt, so all the old congestion went away,” and Joo Woo-jae entered his name into the roulette that would ultimately decide the fate of bungee jumping.
The second is the Human Zero Game. Wooyoung and Kim Sook succeeded in the guessing game and were excluded from the roulette candidates, and Hong Jin-kyung, who successfully avoided the trap set by Jo Se-ho and Joo Woo-jae, was also proudly excluded, causing a surprise. Joo Woo-jae responded, “I feel a little strange today. “It’s a different atmosphere than usual,” he said, and was anxious, but he successfully escaped the final match against Jo Se-ho and put Jo Se-ho’s name on the roulette. The final game involving bungee jumping was ladder climbing. Hong Jin-kyung was connected by number and Jo Se-ho was connected by lightning, giving a thrill, and interest heightened as the next runner, Joo Woo-jae, began climbing the ladder. Joo Woo-jae, who eventually won 'Bungee' as everyone hoped, filled in his name in the roulette wheel with extreme anxiety, saying, "I lived the last 37 years of my life with luck, but I'm not feeling well today." As interest grew as to who would be the main character of Bungie, the roulette was moved to the center, and before the fight between Hong Jin-kyung, who had an 85% stake in the roulette, Joo Woo-jae with 10%, and Jo Se-ho with 5%, a coin toss change in roulette stake was held, and the heads of the coin were changed. When Woo-young, who threw the roulette, wrote Joo Woo-jae's name on the roulette and stabbed Joo Woo-jae in the back with the words, "I will support you," Joo Woo-jae declared, "No matter what match we have until the end of next year, Hong Jin-kyung and Woo-young are my main enemies."
Hong Jin-kyung vigorously spins the roulette to find the one main character who will be in Bunji, but in the end, the arrow of fate was aimed at Hong Jin-kyung, and the main character of Bunji was decided to be Hong Jin-kyung. Hong Jin-kyung, who was seriously looking for someone to run for him, got a big laugh out of Wooyoung when he said, "Please put 1 billion in my bank account right now," and Hong Jin-kyung's anger at Joo Woo-jae's words, "I really want to run for you at least in my heart," was a sight to behold. It made me burst into laughter one more time. Hong Jin-kyung said, “I never imagined that I would be jumping on the 30th anniversary of my debut.” Hong Jin-kyung ran up the jumping platform and jumped off in one go, shouting “Hong Kim-dong, fighting!” Hong Jin-kyung literally became a flying bird and flew through the sky with flying colors. “It’s no big deal. Hong Jin-kyung, who impressed everyone with her unexpected boldness, said, “It’s fun,” and received applause from the members. Meanwhile, Joo Woo-jae made people laugh by asking, “Please do a special to restore the image of the three of us (Jo Se-ho, Joo Woo-jae, and Wooyoung).”
