Lee Sung-min and Bae Jung-nam's Hilarious Chemistry on 'My Ugly Duckling'

Actor Lee Sung-min (59) showcases his comedic chemistry with actor Bae Jung-nam on the upcoming episode of 'My Ugly Duckling'.

Airing on February 1st, the SBS variety show 'My Ugly Duckling' will feature a travel adventure to Kazakhstan with actors Lee Sung-min, Bae Jung-nam, Kim Jong-soo, and Kim Sung-kyun. The four actors have maintained a close friendship since starring together in the 2017 film 'The Sheriff in Town'.

Lee Sung-min takes on the role of the trip's treasurer. In the preview, he humorously complains, "Why do I have to be the treasurer?" while meticulously managing even the smallest expenses. His strict financial oversight leads Bae Jung-nam to jokingly declare, "I just won't go," sparking laughter with their playful banter.

Bae Jung-nam, the youngest of the group, steps up as the guide, but his clumsy antics contrast with his enthusiasm. Despite his eagerness to lead, he forgets to bring his bag and mistakes discounts for complimentary services, adding to the comedic tension of the trip.

Eldest member Kim Jong-soo exudes fearless charm, embracing thrilling activities like high-altitude swings with excitement, while his younger companions are left in awe. Meanwhile, Kim Sung-kyun showcases his domestic skills by preparing homemade side dishes like stir-fried anchovies and pickled chili peppers for the journey. He also impresses by negotiating with local vendors to secure extra services.

'My Ugly Duckling' airs on February 1st at 9 PM.
