During the conversation, when Lee Sung-min admired the Korean beef provided as a product placement, Yoo Jae-seok mentioned it was a gift for the actors.

Yoo Jae-seok, taken aback, questioned the production team about the situation. Lee Byung-hun conveyed his deep disappointment, stating, "I can't believe it. I can forget other things, but this..." Co-host Ji Suk-jin humorously added, "You can't make a mistake like that. For a man, jeyuk bokkeum lasts a lifetime," eliciting laughter.
