In the LG U+ STUDIO X+U zero base game ‘Golden Spoon War’, ‘Apgujeong Brain Sexy Man’ In-hye finally defeated ‘No. 1 Asset’ Jain. In the pop-up business investment briefing, she won by receiving a landslide vote from the investment group, and by opening the secret safe, she obtained another ‘Asset Trade Right’, taking away all of Jain‘s assets.

In the ‘Golden Spoon War’, which was released on the 16th and 17th, the results of the investment briefing for the final mission, the pop-up business, were announced. In it, the unexpected hidden investor ‘South Korea’s first computer virus vaccine developer’ Ahn Cheol-soo made an appearance, drawing attention. After reviewing the business plans submitted by the golden spoons, Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo gave them harsh criticism, saying, “It’s not clear what they’re selling,” and “This business plan is insincere.” He invested 1 million coins in Team Jain’s dessert business plan, praising its “detailed marketing data” and “specific business strategy.” The investment team, consisting of Han Myeong-soo, CCO of “Woowa Brothers (Baedal Minjok),” Park Joon-young, a brand consulting expert for large corporations such as Hanwha and GS SHOP, and Ryu Joong-hee, CEO of venture capital firm “Future Play,” all decided to invest in Team In-hye’s “Travel” pop-up.

When the results of the investment briefing were announced, In-hye shed tears as if she was overcome with emotion. It turned out that In-hye’s mother was battling terminal pancreatic cancer at the time of filming. In-hye, who was so fond of her mother that she participated in the ‘Golden Spoon War’ under her mother‘s name, ‘In-hye’, said, “I thought about dropping out of the survival show when I heard that my mother was in critical condition during filming.” However, she revealed, “I ran without stopping for a single minute, for a single second, believing that she would be more proud of her son who was doing his best”, which moved everyone.


Zain’s team, who lost at the investment briefing, had a match to decide who would be eliminated by ‘Find the Golden Spoon’ buried in a sand tomb. The leader, Zain, expressed his guilt by saying, “I was lacking”. In the match to decide who would be eliminated, Mumu desperately found the golden spoons and gave them to Yoon, and was eliminated. While everyone was speechless at Mumu‘s sacrifice for the team, Zain said, “I’m crazy... He showed tears, saying, “I feel like crying.” Then he said, “The message that MuMu gave me was so powerful and I learned a lot. I respect you.”

In the meantime, the conflict between the two teams exploded over Robinson‘s ‘asset trade right’. In-hye made a mocking remark to Robinson, who decided to use the asset trade right according to Zain’s strategy. Zain then expressed his displeasure by saying, “We must never let someone like that win.” In-hye and Stark also said that Robinson was “brainwashed by Zain.”

Robinson used the asset trade right on In-hye, reducing In-hye‘s assets to 0 won. At that moment, In-hye suddenly appeared and said, “I will use the asset trade right too,” and traded assets with Zain. As it turned out, In-hye had opened the secret safe in room 302 and obtained another asset trade right hidden inside. Due to Inhye’s use of the asset trade right, Jain fell from ‘No. 1 asset’ to ‘0 won’. As the story continues to unfold, the team that will win the final mission, the pop-up business, will be revealed in the next episode of ‘The Golden Spoon War’.
