Choo Sung-hoon, Kwak Joon-bin (Kwak Tube), and Lee Eun-ji have displayed a deepened bond in Egypt.

In the 9th episode of EBS and ENA's co-produced show 'Choo Sung-hoon's Gotta Earn My Keep,' which aired on March 20th, viewers were captivated by the cast's charming interactions and human appeal.

The episode featured Choo Sung-hoon, a self-proclaimed meat expert with guaranteed 10 million views, preparing a mouthwatering steak for his younger companions. His meticulous preparation, from trimming fat to seasoning with salt and pepper, impressed everyone. Lee Eun-ji exclaimed, "What is this luxurious taste?" while Kwak Joon-bin added, "It's not easy to achieve that flavor with so few ingredients," showcasing their admiration.

The following day, Choo Sung-hoon and Kwak Joon-bin headed to a textile workshop to earn their keep. The 125-year-old establishment, one of Egypt's oldest, utilized ancient techniques, captivating the duo. They faced a challenging task involving boiling dyed textiles at high temperatures, requiring them to endure intense heat and smoke. Despite initial confusion when the owner's voice was raised, it turned out to be praise for their diligent work, leading to laughter.

Later, the two experienced Egyptian-style skincare at a barbershop, marking a new world for them. Choo Sung-hoon, who admitted to not even using facial soap, enthusiastically underwent wet shaving, exfoliation, and cold compresses, expressing immense satisfaction. Kwak Joon-bin mused, "I wonder why I'm spending so much money on dermatology clinics."

Meanwhile, Lee Eun-ji bravely ventured alone to secure overnight train tickets to Luxor. She encountered unexpected hurdles, including language barriers and a server crash at the ticket office, leaving her in a state of panic. Despite the pressure, with Choo Sung-hoon emphasizing the importance of sleeper berths, Lee Eun-ji successfully purchased single and double room tickets at Bashta Station.

During the overnight train journey, the 'Ga-b-geop-joo' (meal ticket crew) shared candid conversations. Kwak Joon-bin, before his public marriage announcement, revealed his plans to take his girlfriend, who had never experienced an overnight train, on their honeymoon, naturally disclosing Spain as their destination. The honest discussions, including his plan to announce their marriage via his own channel, highlighted the deep sibling-like bond they had formed.

The journey of the 'Ga-b-geop-joo' in Egypt will continue on March 27th at 7:50 PM on EBS and ENA's 'Choo Sung-hoon's Gotta Earn My Keep.'

Choo Sung-hoon is a former judo athlete who transitioned into a successful mixed martial arts career, earning widespread fame. Despite his tough image, he reveals a warm and relatable side on variety shows, captivating audiences with his unexpected charm. His deep affection for his family is a frequently highlighted aspect of his personality.
