Comedian Lee Sang-joon joined his castmates on the E Channel and Channel S variety show 'Dokbak Tour' for a domestic trip to Mokpo, South Korea. The episode, which aired on August 8, featured the cast visiting a restaurant specializing in marinated crab, a dish recommended by Lee Sang-joon's mother.
Junho hyung, did you come here before? It must have been before the incident.
Upon entering the restaurant, cast member Hong In-gyu noticed a photo of Kim Jun-ho on the wall, joking that it must have been taken before a past scandal. Kim Jun-ho, recalling his appearance on '1 Night 2 Days' at the same location, expressed a hint of bitterness, admitting he didn't remember the visit well, perhaps because he couldn't eat much at the time.
I don't remember because I couldn't eat much back then?
The group then proposed a game called 'Ask the AI,' designed to challenge Lee Sang-joon, known for his "no-hit" streak in games. Lee Sang-joon, suspecting a trick, agreed but insisted they use his phone's AI instead of Kim Jun-ho's. This led to a playful confrontation with Jang Dong-min, who questioned why they had to follow Lee Sang-joon's rules. Lee Sang-joon retorted by referencing the decline of physical violence in comedy, prompting Jang Dong-min to jokingly feign a kick, eliciting laughter from the cast.
Okay. But let's ask the AI on my phone, not Junho hyung's phone.
