2PM Jang Wooyoung X DAY6 Young K Mukbang Trip… Revealing Behind-the-Scenes Stories from Before Debut (Fried Chicken)

2PM‘s Jang Wooyoung and DAY6’s Young K are going on a food trip to Gangwon-do.

Jang Wooyoung and Young K will embark on a day trip from Hoengseong, Gangwon-do to Sokcho in Season 2 of the loyalty game travel variety show ‘Fried Chicken (Who Ride?)’, which will be aired on the 17th (today) by OOTV (CEO Lee Hyun-sook).

Young K explains why he chose Gangwon-do as his travel destination, saying, “‘I can enjoy food from the land, sea, and air”. “Young K is scary whenever he‘s in front of food” Jang Wooyoung, who ‘knows Young K well” and reported that he will be moved and bewildered all day long as he watches Young K continue his eating frenzy by consuming Korean beef, dorumuk, yangmiri, and jjimdak, all on land, sea, and air.

Jang Wooyoung and Young K have a serious conversation during their endless eating shows, talking about everything from anecdotes from before their debut to how he felt about Day6 becoming a popular band. While continuing his eating frenzy at a Korean beef all-you-can-eat restaurant, Young K starts by saying, “I learned many different dances when I was a trainee, so I was good at dancing” and divulges an anecdote, saying, “When the KBS2 drama ‘Dream High’ was airing, I was a member of the dance team dancing behind Jang Wooyoung hyung.” Jang Wooyoung, who was ‘buffering’hearing this story for the first time, is surprised when Young K’s detailed description brings back his memories, and asks “Is that you?”, and Young K shows his aegyo by saying, “That little kid back then has grown up so much”.

Jang Wooyoung asks Young K, who has always dreamed of being a glamorous and cool celebrity, “How do you feel these days, the sparkling life you‘ve been dreaming of?”, and continues the honest and candid talk. With DAY6 recently receiving so much love that they sold out all of their concerts at Gocheok Sky Dome, Young K says, “‘Finally’I feel happy. I wish anyone would have enjoyed it before, but it feels like it’s come to fruition”,”and he is set to make the onlookers happy.

Young K, who had been enjoying his trip with delicious food and close friend talk with Jang Wooyoung, continues his ascension by getting his fortune told while he‘s at it. Visiting a philosophy museum on the spot to name a newly purchased bass guitar, and even checking one’s fortune together.

Even a naming expert with 30 years of experience is flustered at the request to name a guitar, not a person, but the naming expert first explains Young K‘s fortune and makes everyone laugh with a pleasant saying. It is said that Young K couldn’t hide his smile when the naming expert said, “You‘ll get great luck in two years.” and replied, “Hasn’t your (great luck) come yet?” The naming expert, who has now started naming the bass guitar, suggests a series of strong and impactful names. Which name will Young K decide on?

Furthermore, Jang Wooyoung and Young K will maximize their sensitivity by riding a Ferris wheel alone in Sokcho, and they are expected to create an artist moment by talking about their plans for singing in 2025. Jang Wooyoung and Young K‘s explosive food trip to Gangwon-do can be seen on Season 2 of ‘Fried’, which will be released on YouTube channel 9700 STUDIO at 6:30 PM on the 17th (today).
