Kim Joon-ho Charms with 'Newlywed Mode' for Kim Ji-min During 'Dokbak Tour 4' Filming in Qingdao

Kim Joon-ho from the show 'Dokbak Tour 4' showcased a sweet, newlywed-like vibe with his partner Kim Ji-min even while filming.

The 26th episode of Channel S's 'Nidon Nesan Dokbak Tour 4', aired on the 22nd, featured the cast members Kim Dae-hee, Kim Joon-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu embarking on a 'temperate drinking' trip to Qingdao, China, visiting local hotspots and bringing healing and laughter to viewers.

The 'Dokbakz' group headed to 'May Fourth Square', the center of Qingdao's night view. Kim Dae-hee, who guided them, explained, "The night view show here is on a completely different scale. A certain wealthy Chinese person once spent 10.8 billion won for a proposal event because the show was so spectacular." As the lights of the skyscrapers illuminated, Jang Dong-min praised it as the 'king of night views' with a thumbs-up.

After enjoying the dazzling night show, the 'Dokbakz' moved on to 'Taidong Night Market', Qingdao's largest. Kim Dae-hee highly recommended the stir-fried clams and bottled beer. He also mentioned a 'Beer Stock Market' where one could check real-time prices of popular beers. Kim Joon-ho excitedly observed, "You can see the real-time trading volume of beer?" They then sampled beers that had hit highs and lows, and also tried the signature 'bottled beer'. Feeling refreshed, the group contacted Yoo Se-yoon's close friend living in Qingdao and headed to the friend's restaurant.

Yoo Se-yoon's friend and his wife, who were waiting at the restaurant, were touched by Yoo Se-yoon's greeting, "It feels like about three years since I last saw you before I left for China." The friend ordered stir-fried clams and various seafood dishes, recommending 'Wonjang Beer' (unpasteurized, unfiltered raw beer with live yeast), a local specialty. During the meal, the 'Dokbakz' asked about Yoo Se-yoon's school days. His friend replied, "He was the class president for academics, so I was very surprised when he decided to become a comedian." Yoo Se-yoon added, "I was the MC and sang a congratulatory song at his wedding," showcasing their long-standing friendship. However, the heartwarming moment was short-lived as they played a 'Dokbak Game' including Yoo Se-yoon's friend to decide who would pay the bill. Yoo Se-yoon failed to execute a pre-planned strategy with the members, leading to Jang Dong-min having to pay. Despite this, Jang Dong-min generously declared, "For Se-yoon's friend today, I'll treat," bringing a warm conclusion.

After parting ways with Yoo Se-yoon's friends, the 'Dokbakz' went to a resort run by a brewery, ambitiously booked by Hong In-gyu. They rented a suite and a standard room, and the suite impressed them with a machine that dispensed unlimited beer. Following this, they played a 'blind beer pouring' game, risking the 750,000 won accommodation fee. Jang Dong-min once again came in last, while Hong In-gyu took first place. Hong In-gyu enjoyed a luxurious end to the day, relaxing in the suite's bathtub and savoring draft beer from the 'beer dispenser'.

The next morning, Kim Joon-ho made a video call to his wife Kim Ji-min, showing her around the accommodation and affectionately calling her. When Kim Ji-min asked, "Did you drink a lot?" Kim Joon-ho honestly replied, "I drank a ton," eliciting a mix of laughter and sympathy. Afterward, he donned a 'Drunken Master Grandpa' costume and lay down on the lawn, surprising the 'Dokbakz' who commented, "He must have drunk so much yesterday," showcasing their chaotic chemistry.

For breakfast, the 'Dokbakz' headed to a restaurant for sea cucumber noodles. Yoo Se-yoon brought out an expensive bottle of liquor gifted by his friend the previous day. Kim Joon-ho exclaimed, "This is great! This is what a trip for men is like!" After the meal, they decided to pick the person who would pay the bill through a 'Math Game'. Surprisingly, Jang Dong-min, who proposed the game, came in last. Hong In-gyu excitedly remarked, "Genius? Not so much. Should I try participating?" Kim Joon-ho also teased, "This is a complete blockhead!", causing the set to erupt in laughter.

It remains to be seen if Jang Dong-min, facing a crisis with '3 Dokbak' (three times paying the bill), will have to perform the penalty of 'dressing as a Wang Hong and eating insects while live-streaming'. The final day of the 'Dokbakz'' Qingdao trip will be revealed on the 29th at 9 PM.

Netizens commented, "Kim Joon-ho and Kim Ji-min look so good together," "The chemistry of the Dokbak Tour members is truly amazing," and "Makes me want to visit Qingdao." expressing their affection for the show.
