In response, Yoon Sung-ho explained, "I was studying English in Cebu at the time, and the internet connection wasn't great, so I couldn't check my phone often." Kim Yong-man humorously replied, "Couldn't you even make a call? Was it a detention center?" causing laughter on set.
Yoon Sung-ho further clarified, "There was Wi-Fi, but I was focused on my classes, so I missed it," to which Kim Soo-yong acknowledged, "He did reach out later," wrapping up the conversation.

Meanwhile, in November last year, Kim Soo-yong suddenly collapsed while filming YouTube content in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province. He experienced cardiac arrest for about 20 minutes but was saved thanks to the quick actions of his colleagues, securing the golden time for hospital transport. He was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction and successfully underwent angioplasty. He has since recovered and resumed his broadcasting schedule.
