Comedian Hong In-gyu Kneels Before Senior Kim Dae-hee on 'Nidonnaesan Dokbak Tour 4'

Comedian Hong In-gyu found himself kneeling before his senior, Kim Dae-hee, after a playful threat on the latest episode of Channel S's variety show 'Nidonnaesan Dokbak Tour 4'.

The episode, which aired on the 2nd, featured Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu gathering at Busan Port to embark on a cruise to Japan. Jang Dong-min explained that the cruise could be conveniently boarded from Busan Station. Kim Dae-hee expressed excitement about enjoying delicious food in Busan before boarding the cruise. However, Jang Dong-min informed the group that Hong In-gyu would join them later due to a personal schedule. The four then enjoyed handmade dumplings in Busan's 'Chinatown' and paired grilled eel with soju at a restaurant recommended by Kim Jun-ho. The restaurant owner noted the eel's benefits for male stamina, prompting laughter as Kim Dae-hee, a father of many, joked about not needing it, while newlywed Kim Jun-ho eagerly indulged.

Around the same time, Hong In-gyu arrived at Busan Station, dressed in an outfit reminiscent of Leonardo DiCaprio's in 'Titanic'. When the 'Dokbakz' group reunited, Kim Dae-hee jokingly claimed he resembled DiCaprio more, leading to a playful argument. Kim Dae-hee then teased Hong In-gyu about paying a penalty for being late, prompting Hong In-gyu to humorously kneel and plead. Amidst the comedic chaos, Hong In-gyu was chosen as the 'transportation fee scapegoat'.

Once aboard the cruise to Sasebo, Japan, the group explored their reserved standard and suite rooms, marveling at the suite's private ocean-view bathtub. Jang Dong-min proposed a 'cruise championship' to determine payment distribution for the 2.5 million won cruise fee, starting with a 'one-leg core balance' challenge. Despite the difficulty, Jang Dong-min triumphed over 'fitness enthusiast' Yoo Se-yoon, earning first place. Hong In-gyu humorously commented on the victory, likening Jang Dong-min to a rejuvenated 'Sil'caprio.

As evening fell, the 'Dokbakz' headed to a buffet filled with international dishes. Kim Jun-ho, known for his love of food, compared it to a wedding banquet. After a hearty meal, they engaged in a timing game using cutlery, where Yoo Se-yoon emerged victorious, while Kim Jun-ho finished last. Jang Dong-min's comedic 'knife-chopstick' performance added to the laughter.

The group later attended a vibrant Latin performance, joining in the energetic dance. The final game, a shoe approach challenge, saw Jang Dong-min showcase his skills, securing overall victory. As a result, he paid only 166,000 won of the cruise cost and enjoyed the suite room solo. In contrast, Kim Jun-ho, finishing last, paid 913,000 won and stayed in a windowless standard room, ending the day with a bittersweet smile.
