This revelation led to bursts of laughter from the cast and viewers alike.

Lee Juk also recalled giving advice to junior artist Choi Yuri about appearing on variety shows, referencing past playful taunts from comedian Park Myung-soo. The candid exchange between Lee Juk and Yoo Jae-suk showcased their strong chemistry, reminiscent of close friends, adding an engaging dynamic to the show.
