TV Show Guests Take Pain, Women Are No Exception

Guest stars appearing in ‘Super TV, Sunday is Fun Day’, a TV show aired at 6:00 p.m. every Sunday on KBS 2 channel, visited the Command Force Training Camp located in Seoul on July 18. They were invited to the corner of the show ‘the Invincible Team’.

When we arrived at the scene at about 12:00 in the afternoon, two hosts Yu Jae-seok and Lee Hyuk-jae and three guests Kim Jong-seok, Kim Jong-min and Ji Sang-ryol were all messed up with mud due to the heavy rain.

And we could soon found actress Han Eun-jung, the only woman in the team, took a brief rest at a corner. She could have some time to rest after breaking into tears during hard training.

Yu also looked exhausted as he was given special instructions. It was a punishment since he fumbled during the physical training. Despite the physically challenging situation, Lee Hyuk-jae was making jokes. “Why not we open a comedian camp? We can invite these instructors and give them hard training for not laughing.”

During the special training, Yu fell down and his mouth was full of mud. In an effort to make viewers to laugh, however, Yu said, “I ate mud, sir.”

The next course was a training room designed to prepare soldiers against a bio-chemical attack. After staying in the room for about one minute, they rushed out of the room, with their faces covered with tears and runny nose. Han barely avoided ruining her image, arranged not to take off the mask.

Then, the time to fight with a sports star came. This time, they had to face a woman kickboxing champion Bae Tae-rang. They moved to the KBS Hall in Yeouido and the shooing began at about 4:00 p.m.

Six of them, including Yu and Han, competed with Bae in turn. Han threw a kick first, but Bae dealt a blow with her right hand. Han`s nose was bleeding and she could not continue the game.

“Viewers like to watch a female guest star playing and having fun with men,” explained the production team about inviting Han to the team. The program will be aired on July 27.
