On the morning of the 23rd, a production presentation was held at a place in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. Choo Sung-hoon, Kwak Jun-bin, Lee Eun-ji, producer Song Jun-seop, and producer Anjimin were present at the event.
"'Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal' is a real survival travel story in which Chu Sung-hoon directly experiences extreme jobs and solves a meal with the money he earned by sweating. A unique format that mixes entertainment and documentary, travel and labor, chemistry and struggles. The production team emphasized that `It's not a happy and happy trip with the money of the broadcasting station, but a real journey of celebrities paying for their meals with the real 'my money.'
Producer Song Joon-seop, who directed the production presentation on this day, said "I wanted to show the joy, anger, sorrow and pleasure of life together, not just labor through extreme job experience."Producer Anjamin said, `Please pay attention to the authenticity and emotional density of the performers who pay for their meals.'
The combination of the cast is refreshing. Choo Sung-hoon, a former fighter, Kwak Jun-bin, a travel YouTuber, and Lee Eun-ji, an entertainment veteran comedian, will join a team to survive by working hard in China.
Chu Sung-hoon said, `It was not easy to challenge the price of food in China. We solved everything by hand in an environment where English was not communicated and maps were not working. It was a program with a name on it, so I felt a lot of pressure, but the process of getting along with the chemistry was fun," he said.
It was awkward at first, but the process of becoming a real team over time is the key fun point. Lee Eun-ji said, "It was my first time seeing all three of them, but working, eating, fighting, crying, and laughing together created chemistry like a group project. Teamwork with about an A grade now", Kwak Jun-bin also commented "The older brothers are shy, so the atmosphere could have been depressed, but Eun-ji was the mood maker, so I was able to finish the shoot safely."," he said, expressing his gratitude.
The jobs I experienced were also not easy. Those who worked five extreme jobs felt their lives with their whole body while working with local workers. Kwak Jun-bin "I had to save money for a bottle of water after work. I recalled my childhood's initial intention in a situation where I had to worry about even an expensive bottled water. Chu Sung-hoon also worked and ate directly in a situation where it was difficult to buy even water. We had to deal with all the things that we would get from other broadcasts," he said of his troubles. Lee Eun-ji said "It was an environment where it was difficult to eat even a lactobacillus in the morning. It wasn't easy, but that reality is the charm of the 'price of meals'."

There are also plenty of points to look out for. The vividness of job experience, human chemistry to get to know each other's true feelings, and struggles in unfamiliar environments. Attention is focusing on whether the trip, which contains their sincerity and sweat, will be able to give viewers 'money for food'.
The co-produced entertainment show 'Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal' will premiere at 7:50 p.m. on the 26th.
