Comedian Kim Won-hoon Expresses Enthusiasm for 'Home Alone', Took a Year to Secure Guest Spot

Comedian Kim Won-hoon, a rising star in the variety show scene, has shown great enthusiasm for his upcoming appearance on MBC's 'Home Alone' (hereinafter referred to as 'Home Alone').

The episode, airing on the 23rd, will feature Kim Won-hoon, his close colleague Jo Jin-se, and Lim Woo-il embarking on a local property tour in Incheon Metropolitan City.

When Park Na-rae mentioned that it took a year to book them, Kim Won-hoon and Jo Jin-se revealed their strong desire to participate in broadcasts, stating, "All our regular variety shows have ended. We can film starting tomorrow." Kim also shared his past struggles during his roughly seven years of obscurity.

The trio visited the Gyeong-dong area in Incheon, rich in history and culture. Kim Won-hoon introduced the area by saying, "If Seoul has Myeongdong, Incheon has Gyeong-dong," and expressed his admiration for the 'AeGwan Theater,' Korea's first cinema, which has been operating since 1895.

They also showcased a unique property – a fried chicken restaurant renovated from a 115-year-old Japanese colonial-era house, sparking viewers' curiosity. Meanwhile, Lim Woo-il declared his ambition to host the segment but reportedly faced playful 'training' from Kim Won-hoon and Jo Jin-se.

Netizens reacted positively to the news of Kim Won-hoon and Jo Jin-se appearing on 'Home Alone,' with comments like, "Finally, they're on 'Home Alone'! So excited," "The combination of Kim Won-hoon and Jo Jin-se guarantees fun," and "I'm curious about the properties they'll show in Incheon."
