Marine Corps Veteran Graces 'My Little Old Boy' with Newfound Maturity and Surprises

The transformed culture of the Marine Corps is unveiled.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's variety show 'My Little Old Boy' (hereafter referred to as 'My Little Old Boy'), airing on the 22nd, viewers will get a glimpse into the life and discharge ceremony of Marine Corps veteran, Grigory, who has recently completed his service.

After 18 months of military service, Grigory returns with a more mature demeanor. He greets Im Won-hee and Jo Jin-se with a robust salute, leaving the studio's 'Movengers' deeply moved. Before his enlistment, Grigory's home was in disarray, but now he reveals a completely transformed living space, astonishing everyone. Notably, Grigory has prepared special gifts for Im Won-hee and Jo Jin-se, sourced from the military's PX store, known for its affordable prices.

Grigory shares the challenges he faced while adapting to life in the Marine Corps. He reveals how much military culture has evolved since Im Won-hee's service days, leaving Im Won-hee in shock. The upgraded military etiquette and a salary that has increased 30 times since Im Won-hee's enlistment in 1991 are particularly surprising. Im Won-hee even presents his discharge certificate from that era, prompting reactions like "Shouldn't that be in a museum?" and causing uproarious laughter in the studio.

In honor of Grigory's discharge, Jo Jin-se attempts to make the chewy Dubai cookies (known as 'Doojonku') that Grigory couldn't enjoy in the military. However, the ingredients differ significantly from the traditional recipe, leading Grigory to question, "Is this really Doojonku?" Jo Jin-se's cooking skills, which were shaky from the start, result in a culinary disaster that forces everyone to evacuate. Even the 'Movengers' are left sighing at the outcome. The full story of the Doojonku will be revealed on 'My Little Old Boy,' airing at 9 PM.
