Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, Do Kyung-soo's 'Despair Version' Cancun Trip on 'Kong Kong Pang Pang' Delivers Laughs Galore
The latest episode of tvN's variety show 'Kong Sim-eun De Kong Nasseo U-eum Pang Haeng-bok Pang Hae-oe Tam-bang (abbreviated as Kong Kong Pang Pang)' featured the hilarious Cancun travel adventures of Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo.
In the fifth episode, aired on the 14th, viewers were treated to the behind-the-scenes story of Do Kyung-soo's secret mission to visit a local ceviche restaurant while Lee Kwang-soo and Kim Woo-bin were busy renting a car. The plot twist unfolded when Kim Woo-bin discovered that the address Do Kyung-soo had given them for a ramen shop was actually for the ceviche spot. Feeling betrayed, Kim Woo-bin jokingly declared, 'I don't think we'll see each other after we get back to Korea,' much to everyone's amusement.
Despite the initial shock from Do Kyung-soo's culinary schemes, the travel party soon found themselves captivated by the exquisite flavors of classic ceviche and aguachile. Thanks to the generous owner, they also had the chance to try empanadas and Nikkei ceviche, expressing their gratitude with heartfelt thanks and tips.
However, their trip took an unexpected turn due to accommodation issues. The reality of their lodging starkly contrasted with the photos, revealing a musty smell and an infestation of ants. The 'private room,' which was supposed to be a perk, turned into a punishment, adding to the tension and humor as the group's reactions grew more sensitive.
After a stroll along the Caribbean beach, the team embarked on a rigorous search for their next accommodation. Securing a better place meant a drastically reduced budget for the rest of the trip, making the acquisition of special funds from headquarters crucial. Lee Kwang-soo's escalating frustration, exclaiming 'This doesn't fit the purpose,' triggered explosive laughter.
To request additional funds, the group resorted to creating fabricated content. Do Kyung-soo's attempt at acting sick during a staged 'sob story' video quickly devolved into uncontrollable laughter, leading to a cast change. Eventually, Kim Woo-bin, the production director, and the writers were roped in to finally complete the filming. While Kim Woo-bin drafted a proposal, Lee Kwang-soo sensed a positive reception from the head of the broadcasting station during a phone call. They even hastily fabricated a photo of a crew member with a nosebleed to bolster their case for special funding.
Adding to the chaos, the team experienced a bout of traveler's diarrhea overnight. As a result, they missed their planned whale shark tour. Following Lee Kwang-soo's suggestion, they decided to travel seven hours round-trip to see flamingos, leaving viewers wondering if the ailing group could successfully complete their itinerary.
'Kong Kong Pang Pang' airs every Friday at 8:40 PM.
Netizens reacted enthusiastically, commenting things like 'The chemistry between Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo is insane!', 'I wanted to go to Cancun, but this 'despair version' is hilarious lol', 'Now I want to eat ceviche', and 'I'll be tuning in next week too!'.
