Park Joon-hyung's Hilarious 'Misunderstanding' at Flea Market; Jang Hyuk's 'TJ' Era Rekindled
Comedian Park Joon-hyung brought laughter to viewers with a funny 'communication error' on Channel S's variety show 'Park Jang Dae So'.
In the episode aired on the 3rd, Park Joon-hyung and actor Jang Hyuk showcased their '30-year best friends' chemistry as they visited Seoul's flea markets. The duo embarked on fulfilling various requests, known as 'calls', taking them through Dongdaemun and Hwanghak-dong in Seoul.
The first 'call' involved guiding foreign models who wanted to experience Korean street food. Park and Jang led them through popular spots, including a crepe stand in Dongdaemun, a nostalgic vegetable bread bakery, and a unique kimchi bungeoppang (fish-shaped pastry) shop, falling in love with the charm of K-street food.
The second request was to find rare LP records from the 80s and 90s. Park, confident in his LP collecting expertise, headed to Hwanghak-dong Flea Market. While inquiring about a white porcelain jar at an antique shop, Park misunderstood the owner's explanation about its age, jokingly protesting, "Why are you cursing at me?" after hearing what sounded like profanity, causing a stir of laughter. When told the jar was valued at 10 billion won, he quipped, "Really? Then why are you here?", further amusing the owner.
At an LP store, they reminisced over records featuring stars like Sophie Marceau and Phoebe Cates, evoking memories of past 'notepad goddesses'. Jang Hyuk, upon spotting an Alain Delon LP cover, revealed that he was nicknamed 'Alain Delon' in his youth, leading to more laughter. When the requester appeared, the duo shared their 'senior collector' know-how. Jang Hyuk also recommended a Shin Hae-chul LP and even sang a live rendition of his hit song, prompting Park to fondly recall Jang Hyuk's past as a singer, 'TJ'.
The final 'call' involved them acting as practice models for sports massage for aspiring entrepreneurs. Park screamed at the applicant's strong grip and a leg-splitting stretch, begging them to stop. In contrast, Jang claimed he had a high pain tolerance, appearing unfazed. However, Jang eventually let out a yell too, creating a relatable and humorous moment. Both expressed gratitude for the effective massage that relieved their stiff shoulders and back muscles.
Park Joon-hyung and Jang Hyuk's enjoyable chemistry can be seen every Wednesday at 8:50 PM on Channel S's 'Park Jang Dae So'.
Netizens commented, "Park Joon-hyung's Korean humor code is really something!", "I have to check out the LPs at Hwanghak-dong too.", and "I didn't know actor Jang Hyuk could sing so well!", expressing their enjoyment of the fun broadcast.
