MBN's 'GabojaGO' Season 3 Bids Farewell with H.O.T. Reunion Hints
On the 21st, the final episode of MBN's real variety show 'GabojaGO' Season 3 aired, leaving a lasting impression with stories of friends from diverse backgrounds.
Hosts Ahn Jung-hwan and Hong Hyun-hee met with the original star couple, comedian Lee Sang-hae and traditional musician Kim Young-im, popular mukbang YouTuber Heebab, and original idol H.O.T.'s Jang Woo-hyuk.
The hosts first visited the home of the star couple Lee Sang-hae and Kim Young-im, known for their stunning Han River view in Cheongdam-dong. The couple, who moved from a detached house to an apartment, humorously shared, "We now understand why people prefer apartments, but we dislike bumping into each other every morning."
They candidly revealed, "We don't match in anything and barely talk. In our 50 years together, we were truly happy for only two months." They also shared a surprising story about almost getting divorced but mistakenly going to the police station instead of the court.
Next, the show featured Heebab, a mukbang YouTuber with 1.65 million subscribers. The hosts marveled at her large pantry stocked with a week's worth of food, including 250 ramen packs. When asked about her income, Heebab revealed, "I earn about 100 to 120 million won monthly, and even more with other sources." Her cumulative earnings are estimated at 4 to 5 billion won.
Finally, original idol Jang Woo-hyuk of H.O.T. appeared. His home, filled with plants, resembled a greenhouse. Jang shared, "I didn't realize how much they'd grow," estimating he had around 40 to 50 plants.
While exploring his impressive wardrobe, Jang showcased a pair of shoes from 'Back to the Future,' one of only 1,000 pairs made, which he purchased at auction for 5 million won in 2015.
Discussing his debut, Jang recounted, "Back then, becoming a singer was limited. I was scouted by SM Entertainment after a dance competition, but my family's financial struggles initially prevented me from signing." He shared how Lee Soo-man personally convinced his parents, leading to his dramatic debut.
When asked about future plans, Jang revealed, "I've been active with concerts and fan meetings since the H.O.T. concert. I'm planning to release my third solo album next year." He added, "We're discussing H.O.T. activities, and I believe something great will happen next year," exciting long-time fans.
MBN's 'GabojaGO' Season 3, which captured the stories of various friends, aimed to become true friends by traveling nationwide to meet celebrities, influencers, and notable figures.
