In the 8th episode of ENA and EBS's co-production 'Choo Sung-hoon should pay for his meal', which aired on the 13th, Choo Sung-hoon, Kwak Jun-bin, and Lee Eun-ji left strong memories by experiencing the most extreme labor ever in an Egyptian landfill.
On this day, Choo Sung-hoon bought three apples for 600 won and a bag of bread for 300 won to have dinner with his younger siblings with his total assets of 1,300 won. I could only buy 2 packs of small tomato sauce with the money left, but I moved the shopkeeper's heart and won 3. It's a simple meal, but Lee Eun-ji turned the positive circuit around the combination of bread and tomato sauce, saying, `It tastes like a Hawaiian pizza when I eat bread, tomato sauce, and apples together.'
Kwak Jun-bin recalled a time when he wanted to travel but saved money for his meal because he was short of money while hoping to get a part-time job that would allow him to earn high wages. Following this, Lee Eun-ji said "It's like a program where people who need to find the beginning should come." Choo Sung-hoon, who had been to the pyramid so badly that he wanted to go, drew laughter with his reaction that seemed to have no regrets.
The next day, 'Bobgaz', who moved to work part-time for 500 won an hour, began his hardest work ever at a landfill in Mokatam Village, where garbage is recycled to make a living. 'Rice value' worked hard to earn money for food by working on classification, moving garbage bags, and working on cranes, withstanding odors and fly bugs in the mountain-like garbage pile.
In addition, Kwak Joon-bin became close to seniors under the common theme of soccer, such as Egyptian soccer players Mohamed Salah and Son Heung-min, and Lee Eun-ji, an F-type (inspection type), added fun with her conflict chemistry with T-type (accident type) seniors who cannot be close. In particular, Kwak Jun-bin talked to a young but mature 19-year-old senior and seemed like a very bright and happy person in his life itself. He's having fun with me, he's having fun talking and he's having fun. "I'm going to learn the attitude of life" he said.
After finishing the work 'Rice Price', thanks to the generosity of the landfill owner, he recharged his energy by tasting a table of traditional Egyptian food without worrying about food prices. I tried Egyptian falafel using soybeans, tahina sauce, a sesame paste, Salata baladi, a fresh salad, and egg salad, and Eunji Lee expressed satisfaction, saying, `I think it's the best food I've ever eaten in Egypt.'
On the other hand, it is not easy to eat dinner even with the money earned by three people. Those in dire need of protein supplementation promised the production team an interest of 500 won by paying 20,000 won to taste Choo Sung-hoon's steak. After going to the grocery store after free time, 'Rice Price' confirmed that the price of 1kg of ribs was 417 pounds (about 13,000 won) and planned to buy 1kg of ribs and other ingredients, but the price tag of the meat they were handed over said 486.4 pounds, stimulating the question of whether they could eat steak.
Choo Sung-hoon, Kwak Jun-bin, and Lee Eun-ji's left-handed trip to Egypt will be broadcast every Saturday evening on ENA, EBS 'Choo Sung-hoon's 'You have to pay for his meal.'"
