Lee Seung-gi humiliated by 0 customers in Japan

“Sales are difficult from the first day!”



'Brother Ramen' Kang Ho-dong, Lee Seung-gi, and Bae In-hyuk's 'episode 1 preview' was released in which they are embarrassed by the unexpected twists and turns on the day of the opening of the ramen shop.



'Brother Ramen', which is scheduled to be aired for the first time on Monday, May 22nd, is a reality entertainment program co-produced and simultaneously broadcast by TV CHOSUN and Discovery Channel Korea, and unfolds the 'transformation of spoiled ramen'. After Kang Ho-dong, Lee Seung-gi, and Bae In-hyuk open a 'ramen shop' in a famous tourist destination in Japan, they offer various variations of ramen containing the taste of Korea and set out to spread K-ramen to Japan, which is accustomed to ramen.



Above all, 'Brother Ramen' features Korea's representative MC Kang Ho-dong, who is recognized for his extraordinary cooking and hosting skills, Lee Seung-gi, an all-round entertainer who is active across genres, and several dramas such as 'Shroop', 'Cheer Up', and 'Why Oh Soo-jae'. Actor Bae In-hyuk, who made a mark on the public with 'Three Brothers,' appears and creates fresh synergy.



In relation to this, on the 15th (today), the 'episode 1 preview' containing the 'suffering opening of a ramen shop' by Kang Ho-dong, Lee Seung-gi, and Bae In-hyuk of 'Brother Ramen' was released. First, the video shows Kang Ho-dong, Lee Seung-gi, and Bae In-hyuk preparing ingredients along with Kang Ho-dong's booming voice announcing the opening of 'Brother Ramen' two minutes ago. Then, Kang Ho-dong and Lee Seung-gi, looking slightly nervous, declare preparations complete by shouting “I’m ready” and “I’m ready to,” but soon an emergency situation arises for the three brothers, amplifying curiosity.



Moreover, unlike the three brothers who had prepared to open in a panic, the appearance of an empty store with no customers even after full-scale business began unfolded, causing embarrassment. In the end, Kang Ho-dong showed his impatience by saying to Bae In-hyuk, “In-hyuk, look outside,” and at that moment, several people appeared on the street, but they passed by the store indifferently, frustrating the three brothers.



Even 30 minutes after the store opened, the three brothers were worried as not a single customer came to the store. At this time, Kang Ho-dong, who felt lethargic, said, “Did you just get confused for no reason?” and Lee Seung-gi was seen smiling broadly, creating tension. 'Brother Ramen', which has been in trouble since day one, has sparked curiosity about how the store will be run in the future.



The production team said, “Unlike the situation in which Kang Ho-dong, Lee Seung-gi, and Bae In-hyuk worked hard to prepare ingredients before opening the store, ‘Episode 1 Preview’ realistically depicted them being in trouble because there were no customers after the store opened.” “Please check whether special measures were taken through ‘Brother Ramen’, which will be aired for the first time on Monday, May 22nd.”



Meanwhile, 'Brother Ramen', co-produced and simulcast by TV CHOSUN and Discovery Channel Korea, will premiere at 10 PM on Monday, May 22nd.
