Hwang Je-seong “You’ll know if you touch it”... The Korea-Japan match triggered by chicken

A Battle of Pride Between Korea and Japan Triggered by a Single Chicken

A single chicken has caused a rift in the friendship between the Korean and Japanese cast members. In the 6th episode of 'Shut Up and Korea-Japan Match,' airing on KBS Joy at 8 PM on the 12th, the process of a trivial food debate escalating into a massive showdown is captured. A fierce battle of pride begins between the Korean representatives, Lee Soo-geun and Hwang Je-seong, after Wespy, a Japanese cast member who prides himself on knowing Korea better than Koreans do, fails to follow the so-called 'chicken etiquette.'

Representing Japan, Wespy showed strong determination by even performing a leg split to seize the initiative. However, the atmosphere took an unexpected turn. An unexpected situation occurred when Yoshimura Takashi, a representative of the Japanese entertainment industry and a teammate of Wespy, swung a toy hammer at him, turning the set into a sea of laughter. After intense physical struggles involving tearing, being hit, and falling, the conclusion of the chicken debate is foreshadowed.

In this episode, a 'Samgyeopsal vs. Triangle Kimbap' battle also takes place between the cast and the production crew over the lunch menu. Feeling the crisis in the fight to claim the menu, the cast members engage in a fierce battle, even resorting to fouls. In particular, a story is revealed about how a certain food that had left a trauma for Wespy in the past was transformed through Korea's unique sense of 'Jeong' (affection/warmth).

Cast Members Fall for the Squishy Texture and a Surprise Cheerleading Squad Appears

The conflict between company seniors and juniors surrounding the 'Mallangi' (squishy toy), which has recently gained popularity on social media, is also a highlight for laughter. When Hwang Je-seong introduced the Mallangi, saying, "You'll know once you touch it," Wespy and Yoshimura Takashi, encountering it for the first time, were captivated by the texture, exclaiming, "Ha~ Kimochi~" (It feels so good). The cast members were so charmed by the appeal of the Mallangi that they reacted as if it helped stabilize their mind and body.

Adding to the heat of the confrontation is the appearance of a powerful cheerleading squad. Faced with the overwhelming momentum shown by the Japanese cheerleading squad, even veteran entertainer Lee Soo-geun showed signs of being flustered, saying, "I'm feeling intimidated! Aren't you going to cheer for the old man?" The cheering battle, unfolding along with the identity of the squad, provides as much fun as the main competition itself.

Meanwhile, a special cookie video has been prepared for this broadcast. A food that Yoshimura Takashi requested to try during his previous appearance appears, turning the set upside down. Covering everything from differences in food culture to generational conflicts, the identity of the game that achieves the first Korea-Japan grand unification is unveiled. Episode 6 of 'Shut Up and Korea-Japan Match' will air on KBS Joy on the 12th at 8 PM.
