The life-changing challenge for Lee Young-ji, who is serious about stir-fried ramen, begins.
tvN's "Ppyongppyong Earth Arcade 3" (directed by Na Young-seok and Park Hyun-yong) has ranked 6th in the Korea Gallup survey of favorite broadcasting video programs among Koreans for May 2025. This is the highest ranking among entertainment programs, demonstrating its immense popularity.
Today (23rd), the 5th episode of "Ppyongppyong Earth Arcade 3" will feature Lee Young-ji, who cannot use her mobile phone for 70 hours during a digital detox, taking on a ramen challenge against the production team’s ramen master for a time deduction. The original faction, represented by Lee Young-ji, will compete against the fusion faction, and the outcome will be judged by a fair panel consisting of Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, An Yoo-jin, and three members of the production team.
In particular, if Lee Young-ji wins, her digital detox will be reduced by 48 hours; however, if she loses, it will be extended by 24 hours, leading to a total of 94 hours of digital detox, heightening the excitement. Ahead of the competition, Lee Young-ji expresses her confidence, saying, "There’s a saying that the one who enjoys wins over the one with talent. The one who eats every day will also win over the one who enjoys it." However, the ramen master, regardless of genre, and the production team are showing strong determination toward victory, drawing interest in the non-compromising big match between the two.
Meanwhile, the members of the team must disguise themselves as backpack travelers to catch Torong and Cheol-yong, who have escaped to Lisbon, Portugal. Through the ultra-high difficulty game "Clever Frog Absolute Pitch," they will obtain one of various backpacks, raising the question of whether they can get a truly backpack-like backpack.
A game titled "You Have an Easy-to-Read Heart" will also unfold, allowing insight into the friendship among the team members. In this game, one member's answer to a question must be guessed in order by the remaining three members, requiring the use of attention, information skills, and telepathy. Among them, a problem will be posed regarding An Yoo-jin, who, after a long activity, was given a day for herself on the 10th day of her trip with family in Europe for 15 nights and 16 days, stimulating curiosity about what she would like to do.
tvN's "Ppyongppyong Earth Arcade 3" will air today (23rd) at 8:40 p.m.
