On KBS2's "Problem Child in House," Kim Jong Kook reacted strongly to Lee Joon's lax attitude towards frugality and caused laughter.
The 275th episode of KBS2's entertainment program "Problem Child in House Season 2" (hereinafter "Problem Child in House") aired on the 10th and featured the invincible 88-line best friends Lee Joon and Kwang Hee invited to the rooftop room to participate in a dopamine-inducing quiz war over bizarre problems with Song Eun Yi, Kim Suk, Kim Jong Kook, Hong Jin Kyung, Yang Se Chan, and Joo Woo Jae.
That day, Lee Joon and Kwang Hee filled the rooftop room with their charm and wit as emerging and original powerhouses in the entertainment industry. Kwang Hee humorously kicked off the atmosphere, saying, "I came out because of Lee Joon. It's the most annoying thing when a celebrity appears on a show without any issues," and expressed his ambitions by noting, "I want to claim a spot here. I was disappointed not to be considered for the new MC position." In response, Hong Jin Kyung noted, "You have to understand Kwang Hee. He was originally one of the 12 disciples of Yoo Jae Suk, but that position is precarious, so he is psychologically quite anxious," adding to the humor. Additionally, Kwang Hee boasted about his solid physique due to exercise and diet control while his fellow countryman Joo Woo Jae quipped, "You’re a traitor," provoking laughter.
There was also a parade of lookalikes among Lee Joon, Kwang Hee, and the "Problem Child in House" MCs. Kwang Hee acknowledged his resemblance to Hong Jin Kyung, asserting, "We look like deadpan," and made Hong Jin Kyung flare up. Lee Joon was noted for resembling Kim Jong Kook not only in facial features but also in terms of shared values. Both are notoriously frugal by reputation. However, Kim Jong Kook was greatly disappointed and amused by Lee Joon's comments about using "wet wipes" and "using a plastic bag and throwing it away right away," while he hilariously reacted to Lee Joon saying, "Department store clothes are worth buying" by waving his hands in disbelief. But when Lee Joon claimed, "I don’t wash my car," Kim Jong Kook brightened up, saying, "Exactly! It’s going to get dirty anyway, no point in doing that. It poured down rain the other day," signaling pride and eliciting laughter.
Meanwhile, a secret behind Lee Joon and Kwang Hee's friendship was revealed. Lee Joon shared, "Kwang Hee, whom I didn't even know, suddenly came to greet me and we became friends," prompting Kwang Hee to explain that he approached notable members from various groups like Lee Joon from MBLAQ, Min Ho from SHINee, Nickhun and Ok Taecyeon from 2PM to make connections. He revealed that he gained recognition by introducing them as best friends during media interviews, disclosing his 'business strategy of small idols.' Subsequently, Lee Joon remarked, "After hanging out with Kwang Hee, I feel a ringing in my ears. Recently, he wanted to meet up, but I declined," showcasing their close friendship and eliciting laughter.
Meanwhile, interesting new quizzes were presented, enhancing the excitement. Topics like "ways to save on rent," "legendary quotes from variety shows," "physical actions measuring lifespan," and "school violence insurance coverage details" captured attention with fresh information, and the candid discussions between Lee Joon and Kwang Hee related to each quiz added to the humorous fun.
