Veteran actress Kang Bu-ja, former football player Lee Young-pyo, and announcer Cho Woo-jong delivered a comedic performance with their witty banter on the KBS2 variety show 'Delivery Is Here'.

Appearing on the show last March 3rd, the trio, who proudly consider themselves 'football know-it-alls', engaged in candid and humorous conversations.

Responding to Kang Bu-ja's delivery call, Lee Young-ja and Kim Sook treated viewers to a mukbang (eating show) of Korean snacks. Faced with the pressure of their first delivery, they received support from actress Yoon Yoo-sun and announcer Cho Woo-jong.

Yoon Yoo-sun praised Lee Young-ja and Kim Sook's cheerful personalities, assuring Kang Bu-ja would find them delightful. Cho Woo-jong added to the anticipation by revealing he's been Kang Bu-ja's 'favorite doll' for 15 years.

Upon arriving at the KBS waiting room, Lee Young-ja, Kim Sook, and Cho Woo-jong met Kang Bu-ja and Lee Young-pyo, marking the beginning of their in-depth football talk.

Lee Young-pyo shared that Kang Bu-ja's desire to see him was the reason for his appearance, adding a heartwarming touch.

During the broadcast, Kang Bu-ja selected Ahn Jung-hwan as her favorite commentator, a sentiment Lee Young-pyo echoed, finding Ahn's commentary amusing.

Kang Bu-ja also shared an anecdote about being on the same flight as Son Heung-min and sending him congratulatory text messages, eliciting envy from the other cast members.

She further revealed her long-standing fandom by mentioning she had traveled to Germany to watch Lee Young-pyo's games.

Lee Young-pyo discussed how Guus Hiddink's improved team systems, including upgrading from economy to business class seats for national players, contributed to their performance and results, expressing his respect for the coach.

Cho Woo-jong recounted a humorous incident from the Brazil World Cup broadcast where Lee Young-pyo had to endure four hours without using the restroom, drawing much laughter.

Following a mukbang of stir-fried baby octopus and monkfish stew, Lee Young-pyo indulged in his favorite dishes: royal court tteokbokki and hamburger steak.

He also shared a touching story from his 16 years of playing abroad, detailing how he overcame his teammates' lack of trust at PSV Eindhoven by scoring a goal, which then led to more passes from them.

'Delivery Is Here' airs every Wednesday at 9:50 PM KST.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically, commenting, 'Kang Bu-ja's charm is still amazing!' 'Lee Young-pyo's commentary stories are so fun,' and 'Cho Woo-jong announcer always delivers the laughs.'
