‘What do you do when you play?’ 5 types of folk games that will keep your palms sweaty are previewed.

The episode of MBC‘s ‘What do you do when you play?’ (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Lee Joo-won, Wang Jong-seok, Ahn Ji-sun, Bang Sung-soo/written by Noh Min-sun) that will air on the 25th will depict the members going on a MT to unite for the Winter Song Project. During the MT, 5 types of folk games that go well with the holiday (ttakjichigi, gonggi nori, top chigi, jegichagi, bisok chigi) will be fiercely fought ahead of the Lunar New Year.

The members are divided into Seunghun’s team (Joo Woo-jae, Park Jin-joo, KCM, John Park, Seunghun‘s team) and Song Gun-hee’s team (Haha, Lee Yi-kyung, Kim Jo-han, Ailee, Song Gun-hee) and compete in folk games that appear in the OTT drama ‘Squid Game’. The team that succeeds faster within the 5-minute time limit will win the New Year‘s money.



Song Gun-hee shows off her impressive sleight of hand as the air play ace. However, when Joo Woo-jae, who is overly immersed in the ‘Squid Game’, mentally attacks her by saying, “Mr. Gun-hee, a sniper is aiming his gun at you”, she suddenly breaks down, making her teammates anxious.

Host Yoo Jae-suk, who is impatient, shouts, “If it’s the ‘Squid Game’, we‘re all dead”,“ heightening the tension. Haha, who became an old man fan after praising Song Gun-hee’s visuals, says, “It‘s okay. He cheers them on by saying, ”It’s okay,“ but then ends up shouting, ”It‘s not okay!“ and makes everyone laugh.

Joo Woo-jae continues his state of over-immersion by slapping his own cheek and saying, ”Come on, get a grip!“ when the top rope doesn’t wind up well. John Park, who appears as the ”Ttakji Man,“ is said to have an endless match with the unyielding Ttakji. The team members, who are in an emergency situation due to John Park‘s terrible Ttakji skills, take special measures, and the sight of John Park being kicked to the back with his pupils dilated makes us wonder about the fierce match.

The winning team of the five types of traditional games, which were quite fierce(?), can be seen on MBC’s ”What Do You Do When You Play?“ which airs at 6:25 PM on Saturday, January 25th.
