EBS · ENA ‘Choo Sung Hoon’s ‘I Have to Pay for Your Meals ‘invites viewers to the world of high-intensity local travel.

‘ Choo Sung Hoon’s Must Pay for Meals ‘is a real survival travelogue in which Choo Sung Hoon challenges extreme jobs around the world and enjoys the food he earns with his sweat.Amidst expectations for the dynamic trip, the production team of’ Choo Sung Hoon’s Must Pay for Meals ‘has released spicy on-site still cuts of Choo Sung Hoon, Kwak Jun Bin, and Lee Eun Ji who have challenged extreme jobs in China.PD Song Jun Sub also revealed the criteria for selecting jobs.

The released still cuts show Choo Sung Hoon, Kwak Jun Bin, and Lee Eun Ji sweating bullets while carrying heavy objects in China.They are also wearing safety equipment on a high-rise building overlooking the city, so what kind of jobs will be introduced?

PD Song Jun-seop, who presented a new direction for travel entertainment with the’ Kwak Jun-bin’s World Restaurant for Drivers ‘series, said, “While producing the’ Kwak Jun-bin’s World Restaurant for Drivers ‘series, I met reporters from all over the world and realized that their ordinary days can be especially fun for Korean viewers.” He continued, “This time, I wanted to meet locals with more diverse occupations, and after watching EBS’ Extreme Jobs,’ I thought it would be fun to try something really difficult.”

However, he said that he was concerned about how to make it work like a local, not just a simple job experience.PD Song Jun-seop explained the intention of the plan, saying, “That’s why I thought of ‘food money.’ I thought that if we worked hard enough to pay for food wherever we went, and if the cast members paid for their own food with the money they earned through their sweat, we would be able to immerse ourselves more.Viewers also want meaningful hardship, not just simple hardship.”


Also, as Choo Sung Hoon, Kwak Jun Bin, and Lee Eun Ji are jumping into extreme jobs around the world, curiosity is rising about the criteria for selecting travel destinations and jobs.PD Song Jun Seop said, “There are many difficult jobs in our country that can be called extreme jobs, but we tried to avoid similar jobs as much as possible when selecting them.”

He continued, “Next, I looked for work that could directly or indirectly show the culture of the country.For example, Turkey is a famous carpet-producing country and a country that uses a lot of carpets at home, so there is a service that collects carpets, washes them, and returns them.Carpets are dirty and heavy, so it’s a very hard job, but maybe that’s why videos of carpet washing on YouTube have tens of millions of views.I tried to find hard work like this that combines with the local culture,” he added, drawing attention to the places he will visit and the extreme jobs he will challenge in the future.

‘Choo Sung Hoon’s ‘I Have to Pay for Your Meals’ will first air on EBS and ENA at 7:50 PM on July 26th.
