The actors‘ London travelogue has been revealed.

On the 8th, JTBC’s ‘Language Study Before It‘s Too Late - Shala Shala’ (abbreviated as ‘Shala Shala’) showed the midterms in Cambridge and the exciting London travelogue of the five actors.

On the night before the midterms, the members burned with passion no less than test takers. Sung Dong-il and Kim Kwang-gyu formed a ‘Study Group’ on a moonlit night and went into intense study mode while reviewing expressions they had learned so far. Their motivation continued until the morning, and Kim Gwang-gyu showed his fighting spirit as a late-blooming student by receiving a special grammar lecture from his private tutor Jang Hyuk.

Seong Dong-il, who went straight to school for the midterm exam, embarrassed the teacher by leaving out the English word in the first question and only emphasizing “Beer is big size.” However, he showed his signature wit and lightened the mood, and eventually gave a perfect additional answer, even receiving the compliment, “Your speaking skills are good.” Kim Gwang-gyu was shaky from the start. He tried to hide his nervousness by responding cutely to the teacher’s question, “Are you ready?”, but once the exam actually started, the sentences he had practiced began to disappear one by one. Due to the trauma, they couldn‘t even remember the sentences they had practiced and eventually accepted the regrettable result, but compared to the first day, they showed clear growth and made us look forward to their future development.


The members who finished their exams went on a trip to London over the weekend. The highlight of the London trip was definitely ‘Welcoming Son Heung-min in person’. Arriving at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Kim Kwang-gyu and Shin Seung-hwan shook hands in awe at the magnificent stadium. Tottenham got off to a good start by scoring the first goal just 10 minutes after the game started, and Son Heung-min followed up with a picturesque first goal of the season, filling the stadium with excitement. Son Heung-min scored another goal in the second half, making it a multi-goal victory for Tottenham with a score of 4:0.

After the game, Kim Kwang-gyu and Shin Seung-hwan set out on a mission to wait on their way home from work to meet Son Heung-min, the ‘star of the victory’. However, Kim Kwang-gyu unexpectedly became a ‘Tottenham celebrity’ as Korean fans kept asking for pictures. It seemed that Son Heung-min’s car would finally appear in the endless line of cars, but the meeting never materialized. So Kim Kwang-gyu implemented a ‘chicken instead of pheasant’ strategy and transformed into ‘Kim Heung-min’ by signing autographs for fans on the spot, causing laughter.

Sung Dong-il entered the British Museum late due to poor condition. He translated the descriptions of the works one by one and enthusiastically continued to tour the museum, finding the Venus statue that he had long dreamed of. Finally, Sung Dong-il, who came face to face with the Venus statue, stared at the work silently for a while, expressing pure admiration like a child. After watching the performance, Sung Dong-il expressed his heart-warming feelings, saying, “I can’t believe a poor theater artist came here.”
