During the group's second meeting, Park, who was previously criticized for holding members hostage in his pursuit of laughter, receives another chance. While initially appearing to integrate normally, his demeanor shifts dramatically as the gathering progresses. Heo Kyung-hwan expresses concern, noting Park's eyes look 'strange,' while Yoo Jae-suk observes a transformation from a 'kind eye' in the morning to a 'crazy eye' by the afternoon.
