Lazy Lion Cha Young-nam Awakening Choi Young-jae Melted Gungun-ria
In the 4th episode of 'Recruit Camp', which aired on the 27th, 'new recruits' Cha Young-nam, Lee Chung-gu, Kim Min-ho, Lee Jeong-hyun, Nam Tae-woo, Jeon Seung-hoon, Lee Sang-jin, and Kim Hyun-gyu compete in a three-way match against the 'Blue Tower' team, the original military content team. It was drawn.
The first game on this day's broadcast was a 1-on-1 battle for the flag. The Blue Tower unit, which received the right to nominate an opponent out of consideration for its elders, went out as the first player and selected Cha Young-nam as its opponent. A tight match was expected as it was Cha Young-nam, who had overpowered Hwang Je-seong with his crazy eyes in the previous search match. However, the victory was unfortunately lost due to a fall right at the start of the game, and Nam Tae-woo, who faced Choi Jong-hoon, and Lee Sang-jin, who faced Baek Bong-gi, lost, and the Blue Tower unit won the first game.
The second game was the so-called cold weather mission, ‘Relay Military Uniform Dressing Competition’. A game in which five members of the search team run to the main building in a relay to find cold weather items hidden throughout the game, while one member of the standby team must wait outside for their comrades wearing only underwear. Cha Young-nam was on standby for the new unit. In response, the Blue Tower unit raised a white flag. In a situation where he had to endure the Siberian cold with only slippers on his bare feet, Cha Young-nam made people laugh by provoking Baek Bong-gi, rubbing his eyes with his bare hands curiously, saying, "Isn't this how Shim Jin-woo usually goes?" Cha Young-nam even threw off his slippers, and thanks to Cha Young-nam's barefoot fighting spirit, the new recruit unit search team searched for 'winter shoes', 'combat uniforms', and 'anti-proof shells' while the Blue Tower unit searched for absurd items such as 'shoe polish' and 'prop flags'. They returned the game one after another and brought the game back to square one.
The third game, which marked the long-awaited finale, was the 'Gungunria Cooking Competition with My Own Recipe'. In fact, the new unit, which had Cha Young-nam, the CEO of the restaurant business, as a member, predicted an easy victory even before the start. Moreover, Cha Young-nam, who served as the main chef, raised expectations even higher with his skill in asking the judges' food tastes. Afterwards, the new unit created a European military unit under the leadership of Cha Young-nam, and the Blue Tower unit created a retro-style military unit under the command of Song Young-jae. Among them, the Blue Tower unit made Gungria by dividing chicken breast patties and beef patties to suit the taste of instructor Choi Young-jae, a judge who said, “I think charcoal is important,” and included fried squid, French fries, salad, bacon rolls, and fried rice cakes. The never-ending feast of side menus caught my eye. On the other hand, Cha Young-nam presented a luxurious Korean table setting by serving gungunria with thick meatballs, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw on the side.
The judges who tasted Cha Young-Nampyo’s Gungunria did not hold back in their praise. As soon as Choi Young-jae and Kim Il-jung tasted the meatball patty, their eyes widened as if they had made a promise, and Kim Il-jung praised it, saying, "It was truly European style." Furthermore, Choi Young-jae, who emphasized the 'harmony of carbohydrates + fat + protein', also praised the taste of savory fat, saying, "I mainly ate Korean food for three days, but I missed the fat of Western food. The taste of fat that I had not experienced in a long time disrupted my judgment." I raised my hands and feet.
Thanks to the performance of ‘Cold Ramsey’ Cha Young-nam, the new unit won the last game and achieved the final victory. Furthermore, in the process of selecting the best soldier of the new unit, Cha Young-nam successfully appealed himself by imitating foreign dubbing vocals for three roles by one person, highlighting his all-round performance on the third day after entering the unit. In the end, Cha Young-nam, who was selected as the best soldier, gave a pleasant laugh until the end with a twisted wish when platoon leader Kim Il-jung asked him to make a wish, "Give me the drip coffee I packed so carefully because I knew I was going to Bali."
The new recruit unit and the Blue Tower unit created a cheerful synergy by exchanging unselfish passion and humorous tiki-taka. In addition, the warm chemistry between the two teams, like reservists visiting a boot camp, gave viewers a pleasant smile, including the image of Hwang Je-seong jokingly putting pressure(?) on the new recruits, saying, "You guys did it with Jjin?"
