Hong In-kyu said he failed the comedian exam because of his dialect.

It has been revealed that comedian Yang Sang-guk failed his comedian exam in the past due to his use of dialect. In the 7th episode of Channel S and E Channel's 'Go to the End! Dokbak Tour,' which aired on July 18, five comedians including Kim Daehee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se Yoon, and Hong In-kyu reunited with Yang Sang-guk in Nha Trang, Vietnam.

Returning to Nha Trang, the first travel destination of Season 1, after three years, the members relaxed at a beach pub overlooking the emerald sea. Kim Jun-ho teased Yang Sang-guk's unsophisticated appearance, asking, "This is your first time traveling abroad, right?" Yang Sang-guk responded by saying, "I've been to Vietnam many times, and the farthest country I've visited is Chile. Isn't South America the ultimate travel destination?" while revealing a proof shot of his trip to Chile. In response, the members raised suspicions, questioning if the photo was synthesized by AI.

"Failed Due to Dialect" Hong In-kyu Reveals Yang Sang-guk's Past

While traveling in a car, Hong In-kyu brought up stories from Yang Sang-guk's rookie days. Heading toward 'Nem Nuong,' a famous restaurant in Nha Trang, Hong In-kyu revealed, "Back then, I personally saw Sang-guk fail the comedian exam due to issues with linguistic ability because he used a dialect." Kim Jun-ho continued the conversation by mentioning his wife Kim Ji-min, who was a trainee at the time.

The revelations then turned toward Kim Jun-ho. Hong In-kyu brought up the fact that Kim Jun-ho had once gathered trainees and warned them, "Comedians must never date each other." He pointed out the irony of Kim Jun-ho eventually marrying Kim Ji-min. Kim Jun-ho immediately apologized, saying, "Oh, I'm sorry," but added, "If you're going to get married, it's okay to date."

From Meal Costs to Accommodation, Yang Sang-guk's Unending 'Dokbak'

Yang Sang-guk fell into the cycle of 'Dokbak' (bearing all costs) from the beginning of the trip. Due to Hong In-kyu's betrayal during the first game, 'The Game of Death,' Yang Sang-guk became the first person to bear the cost of transportation and drinks. Even though Yang Sang-guk was aware that this was a 'rigged game,' he still participated. He then finished last in the coriander leaf picking game held at the Nem Nuong restaurant, accumulating a second 'Dokbak.' Yang Sang-guk showed enthusiasm, saying, "I love it. I will also take on the penalty for being the 'most frequent Dokbak holder'."

After the hopping tour booked by Yoo Se Yoon, a survival game for accommodation costs and room assignments followed. The Red Team (Kim Daehee, Yoo Se Yoon, Yang Sang-guk) and the Blue Team (Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Hong In-kyu) faced off in a 3:3 bumper car survival, but the Blue Team lost. In the individual match, Kim Daehee, who was attacked as soon as the game started, was confirmed as 6th place. Kim Daehee had to sleep in the living room and bear the accommodation cost of approximately 660,000 won.

During the hopping tour, Jang Dong-min secretly peeled shrimp with his mouth and handed them to Yang Sang-guk. Even though Yang Sang-guk knew this, he ate the shrimp. The travelogue in Nha Trang, Vietnam, will continue in the 8th episode, which airs on the 25th at 9 PM.
