Sung Dong-il finally explodes, declares halt in filming “NO MORE” (Shalala Shala)

Actor Sung Dong-il finally explodes.

On the first episode of JTBC‘s ‘Studying Language Before It’s Too Late - Shala Shala’ (hereafter ‘Shalala Shala’), which will air at 10:20 PM on the 5th, actors Sung Dong-il, Kim Kwang-gyu, Um Ki-joon, Jang Hyuk, and Shin Seung-hwan‘s language study adaptation period full of laughter and tears, frustration and growth will be revealed. For the five middle-aged actors with an average age of 52.8 who dream of a romantic language study life, the London hell train survival story and tumultuous free-talking challenges unfold right from the start, and they face a crisis.

The members, who arrived at the airport full of excitement, travel from London to Cambridge on their own without the help of the production crew. Under the leadership of the eldest brother Sung Dong-il and grammar master Jang Hyuk, it seemed like they were off to a smooth start, but unexpected variables arise one after another. Especially, with their somewhat poor English skills and the overly(?) friendly explanations from the British citizens, finding their way around becomes more and more complicated and the members fall into a panic.

Eventually, Sung Dong-il explodes in the middle of the London Underground, saying, “I can’t go around anymore!” and the filming is in danger of being halted. How did these people, who got into trouble from the start, escape the London “hell train” and arrive in Cambridge?

The members who entered Cambridge with difficulty challenge their first real free-talking in the city the next day. Sung Dong-il shows off his amazing ability to carry on a conversation with a passenger he meets on the bus using just four words, and he also shows off his clever talking skills by speaking to citizens first at the market.

Kim Gwang-gyu, who was preparing dinner, heads to a neighboring house to borrow something, very nervous due to the members’ urging. Will Kim Kwang-gyu, who has been practicing with a translator since before departure and is even sweating profusely, be able to successfully free-talk with his neighbors?

The broadcast that day will also reveal why the actors decided to study abroad. First, Eom Ki-joon reveals that the English skills he has shown in dramas so far were “I had actually memorized the pronunciations completely” and reveals his earnest desire to learn English by saying, “I was so envious of the way actors who had lived abroad could communicate with the production team without an interpreter when I was doing a musical performance. Also, Kim Kwang-gyu reveals the reason why he had English trauma, saying, “I got beaten up by my English teacher when I was a student,” and the reason why he decided to study abroad.

The realistic story of the five actors with an average age of 52.8 years old studying abroad will be revealed on JTBC’s ‘Shalala Shala’ at 10:20 PM today (Wednesday the 5th).
