Dex showed off his ‘social skills’.

In episode 27 of tvN ‘Handsome Guys’ that aired on the 12th, Dex, who appeared as a daily guest along with Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, Lee Yi-kyung, Shin Seung-ho, and Oh Sang-wook, went on a lunch menu recommendation and dinner menu recommendation expedition to the Achasan region.

On this day’s opening, Dex, who appeared with an aura worthy of the entertainment industry’s representative ‘Tetonam’, coolly acknowledged Lee Yi-kyung’s words, “I heard that Dex has great ambitions as an actor” and added, “Since I don’t have the ability, I just try things here and there”, showing off his blunt talk, heating up the ‘Handsome Guys’ atmosphere from the start.Also, when asked about his usual eating style, Dex confidently said, “I binge eat.I ate everything today”, but when the members said that he would pay for his meals with his personal card, he abruptly changed his stance, saying, “Shall we have a quiz? I’m really vulnerable?” At this, ‘regular member who pays for meals’ Kim Dong-hyun said, “I got a windfall.It’s a windfall”, making everyone laugh by wiping his chest.

Among the first tofu restaurants that they visited, only Cha Tae-hyun, Shin Seung-ho, and Oh Sang-wook, who chose tofu, got a chance to eat.At that time, Lee Yi-kyung found his ‘favorite makgeolli’ in the restaurant’s beverage fridge, and Lee Yi-kyung and Dex, who are ‘non-tofu fans’, begged, saying, “Can’t you have a glass of makgeolli?” , “Isn’t one glass okay?” Cha Tae-hyun proposed a game with a glass of makgeolli at stake, and Lee Yi-kyung promised to lose to Dex out of consideration for the guests, but then hit him in the back of the head as if to make up for it, making everyone laugh even more.Then, Dex, who was painfully watching ‘eating champion’ Shin Seung-ho’s homemade tofu mukbang, recalled his ‘hell drinking training’ (training where one had to be self-sufficient for 5 days with only 500ml of drinking water provided in a situation where food, clothing, and shelter were strictly controlled)during his UDT days.Dex said, “During UDT days, I starved for up to five days.Now, even five hours are difficult,” and “Even back then, the instructors would eat pork belly in front of me.But now, it seems a little harder,” experiencing the spiciness of ‘Handsome Guys.’


As soon as Dex entered the second dot-me-chu ‘duck soup restaurant’, he showed off his fighting skills as UDT alumnus.He threw a mission to roast duck loin that couldn’t be eaten to ‘Tofu Team’ Cha Tae-hyun, Shin Seung-ho, and Oh Sang-wook, and added to the laughter by strategically revengefully saying, “Don’t you have an electric fan? Go over there because of the smell of food.” After that, Dex filled his stomach and started the long-awaited meal-paying quiz, but due to the surprising performance of Kim Dong-hyun, who he had considered a low-level player, and the correct answer of quiz ace Lee Yi-kyung, who showed his usual skills, he ended up having to pay the meal bill.Dex admitted defeat cleanly saying, “I will accept defeat,” and drew admiration while giving a bowl of duck soup to Oh Sang-wook, who had been very curious about the duck soup throughout the meal, and transformed the petty and childish fight on the ‘Handsome Guys’ food-paying expedition into a scene from a dating program in an instant, making people feel happy.Dex, who was then selecting the menu for the quiz, said, “I found someone who has a weak point today.The world’s best is weaker than I thought.I think it’s because he only pokes,” and chose Oh Sang-wook as the new quiz master, causing an explosion of laughter.

The low-priced menu was octopus and eel.While Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, and Oh Sang-wook chose octopus, and Lee Yi-kyung, Shin Seung-ho, and Dex chose eel, Dex showed off his perfect ‘Handsome Guys Patch’.As Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, and Oh Sang-wook were completely absorbed in the taste of octopus with its perfect ‘sweet and salty harmony’ and continued to eat mindlessly, Dex worried that not a single grain of food would be left, so he pressured the ‘octopus team’ to add more menus, causing laughter.After tasting octopus through the ‘octopus quiz’, Dex was overcome with happiness and said, “As a guest, the member combination is really good.Oh Sang-wook who diligently puts it in, Kim Dong-hyun who is in charge of consistent reactions, and Cha Tae-hyun who explains it in detail, they’re just perfect together,” giving him a thumbs up.Kim Dong-hyun then revealed his desire to recruit Dex, saying, “It would be perfect if Dex were included.I’ll even pay for this meal(so let’s become a member)”, but Dex drew a sharp line saying, “I will absolutely not pay”, which made everyone laugh even more.

Meanwhile, at the last expedition site, ‘Eel Restaurant’, Dex’s ‘social life’ blossomed and attracted attention.On this day, Lee Yi-kyung and Dex drank alcohol intermittently at the feast of food that called for alcohol, and when the ‘king of side dishes’ eel appeared, Lee Yi-kyung intentionally mischievously offered Dex a drink, making everyone laugh.At that moment, Dex suddenly pretended to drink soju and poured it over his shoulder, surprising everyone by taking a soju shower that was cooler than a water festival, and Cha Tae-hyun exclaimed, “(So)you have to do(social life)like Dex?” Finally, Dex caught Oh Sang-wook’s eyes that were eagerly eyeing the eel, and asked for the ‘Black Knight’ by putting a bite of side dish on a glass of soju that Lee Yi-kyung offered, creating a ‘win-win system’ where everyone was happy, adding warmth.However, Dex controlled both Lee Yi-kyung and Oh Sang-wook by having them drink in one shot in front of Oh Sang-wook, who was preparing to go ‘Black Knight’, as soon as Lee Yi-kyung filled his glass.
