The members of Earth Arcade showed off their amazing chemistry that even mouse detox and digital detox couldn’t stop.

In episode 9 of tvN ‘Pyonpyon Earth Arcade 3’ that aired on the 20th, Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin had a fun time by participating in a short-form content view count bet and a signature game random play dance.

The Ji-raks, who had fun filming the challenge video, made everyone burst into laughter by filming a ‘Give Me My Money’ challenge video that fooled PD Na Young-seok.Despite PD Na Young-seok’s announcement of revenge for being fooled, Lee Young-ji continued to watch the challenge video and couldn’t get out of it, causing Lee Eun-ji to nag her, “Please pack your bags,” causing everyone to laugh.

PD Na Young-seok, who still had a grudge, proposed a bet to reach 500,000 views in 10 minutes for a short-form content.If they failed, he set a penalty of a mouse detox, where they would be moved to a restaurant and not speak while eating.However, Lee Young-ji, who was brimming with confidence from the challenge video with PD Na Young-seok, made a counterproposal: if they reached 1 million views in 10 minutes, they would get a digital flex; if they failed, they would be silent until the end of the meal and do a digital detox until the next morning.

The Jiraks who believed in and took on the challenge of ‘Asian Culture President’ Lee Young-ji actively promoted themselves through SNS, and Ahn Yu-jin in particular caught the eye by turning on a live broadcast for the first time.After the video was uploaded, the number of views increased rapidly in a tense atmosphere, and it recorded an incredible record of about 760,000 views in 10 minutes, but failed to reach its goal and had to immediately go silent.

The production team was happy about the quiet peace, but An Yu-jin used an ingenious method of conversing with AI voices, which opened up a space for AI conversations between the Ji-raks and provided entertainment.Even during mealtimes filled with ASMR-like eating sounds, she expressed the taste with AI voices, and only after returning her cell phone for a digital detox did she regain her voice.

On this day, the broadcast recorded an average of 2.7% for households in the metropolitan area, a peak of 3.8%, an average of 2.2% for households nationwide, and a peak of 2.8%, ranking first in the same time slot among cable and comprehensive channels.tvN target audience of men and women in their 20s and 40s ranked first in the same time slot among all channels, including terrestrial channels, for the 9th consecutive time in both the metropolitan area and nationwide.

Episodes featuring the members of Earth Arcade, who deliver pleasant energy to viewers, can be seen on tvN ‘Pyonpyon Earth Arcade 3’, which airs every Friday at 8:40 PM.
