U-Know Yunho & Kwak Bum Top 'What Do You Play?' Ratings

The MBC show "How Do You Play?" aired its Jeolla Province episode of "The Golden Age of Country Bumpkins 2" on the 6th, featuring Yunho from Gwangju and Kwak Bum from Jeonju. The broadcast recorded a household viewership rating of 3.8% in the Seoul metropolitan area, with the highest minute-by-minute rating reaching 5%. The 2054 viewership rating, targeting viewers aged 20 to 54, was 2.5%, marking the highest figure among Saturday variety shows and programs airing at the same time.

During the broadcast, Yunho and Kwak Bum, both from the Jeolla Province, taught Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Heo Kyung-hwan, and Joo Woo-jae how to speak with a dialect. Yunho, with his characteristic passionate explanations, revealed his "lesson master" side by introducing how to use Jeolla Province exclamations. Kwak Bum explained the characteristics of the Jeonbuk dialect and how to incorporate specific expressions throughout sentences, while the members burst into laughter trying to imitate the unfamiliar dialect.

The main segment of the day was "The War of Money." Yunho emphasized the loyalty of Jeolla Province people and introduced their culture of trying to pay for each other. Yoo Jae-suk proposed a "bag game" utilizing this custom. Afterward, the members moved to a Southern cuisine restaurant to continue their meal and engaged in a skate (hong어) eating mission to decide who would pay. Heo Kyung-hwan and Joo Woo-jae, encountering skate for the first time, drew laughter with their nervous reactions.

Kwak Bum, in particular, played a prank on Heo Kyung-hwan, creating a situation where the roles of master and disciple seemed reversed. Heo Kyung-hwan also made the set erupt in laughter with his exaggerated reactions to the unique smell of the skate. At the end of the broadcast, the "bag of loyalty" reappeared, but while Yoo Jae-suk was collecting the bags, the other members left the table. Yoo Jae-suk, realizing the situation belatedly, chased them to the cashier but couldn't hide his dejected expression.

Ultimately, the bag contained more miscellaneous items than cash. While Heo Kyung-hwan and Yunho took on the actual cost, some members created a twist with their unexpected actions, raising anticipation for the next episode. Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-kyu and Lee Yoon-seok are scheduled to appear in the next broadcast. "How Do You Play?" airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM.
