Miju and Jinju have completed their last filming.
The MBC entertainment program ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Jang Woo-sung, Jang Hyo-jong, Wang Jong-seok, written by Choi Hye-jung) aired an episode titled ‘3-Hour Mission? Just a Moment Time’ on the afternoon of the 31st.
On this day’s broadcast, Jinju and Miju had their last filming. The members tried to ease the awkward atmosphere by starting a casual conversation, but Joo Woo-jae announced, “I can’t say anything to Jinju and Miju today,” hinting at their farewell. Jinju jokingly replied, “We’re not going to see each other anyway.”
Yoo Jae-suk comforted Jinju when she used a somewhat intense tone, asking, “Does it feel like Woo-jae oppa gets hit by Jae-suk oppa?” by saying, “Today, do whatever you want.”
The members were amazed when the production team said that if they visit three famous restaurants within three hours, they would receive golden rice. When the production team mentioned that it would cost about 2 million won at current market prices, Yoo Jae-suk advised, “The price of gold has skyrocketed in the meantime! But when I settle my taxes at the end of the year, the amount will be much more than I expected.” Joo Woo-jae teased, “That’s because you received 300 tons of gold as a target,” to which Yoo Jae-suk replied, “I pay a lot of taxes.”
Lee Yi-kyung mentioned, “The tax accountant said you pay more. If something feels off, you pay more,” referring to Yoo Jae-suk’s diligence.
As the 3-hour countdown began, the members laughed when Jinju’s shoelaces came undone, and everyone rushed to tie them for her. The members gathered in the parking lot received a group jump rope mission. They were told that if they succeeded in 20 jumps as a group, they could have lunch without time deduction, to which Jinju expressed her concern, saying, “I have a trauma. I cried last time.”
Joo Woo-jae reassured Jinju, “What if the time decreases? We can do more.” However, contrary to her worries, they succeeded in jumping 20 times in one go, and Haha affectionately scolded, “Why are you all doing so well today, kids?”
With 2 hours and 15 minutes remaining, the members headed to a rotating Korean buffet. The members, dazzled by the 36 side dishes, hurriedly moved their hands when the production team said to fill their plates within 30 seconds, but they struggled with the faster pace than expected. The members enjoyed their meal, saying, “The side dishes are so delicious.”
Afterward, the members headed to Itaewon for their next mission. Haha stole Jinju’s line, saying, “Just because we’re eating with our hands doesn’t mean it has to be Indian food. Even when making rice balls,” and Jinju responded, “You’re just repeating what I just said,” looking incredulous. Haha and Miju playfully picked up on Jinju’s guess that the next mission location was a dessert cafe, saying, “I think it’s a dessert cafe!”
Upon arriving in Itaewon, the members received a hint about African food from the restaurant owner.
Struggling in the sweltering heat, Haha boasted, “Miju, Jinju, do you want to go with me? How many kids do you have? I have three!” Lee Yi-kyung snapped, “How long are you going to fight over this? People without babies can’t even argue!” Miju surprised the members by saying, “I’ll have four kids. I’ll have four and come back.”
When Joo Woo-jae asked, “Are you going out to have a baby right now?” Miju replied, “Yes. Wait for me. I need to start preparing from now on,” jokingly.
Later, the members arrived at an Ethiopian cafe. As the members were exhausted from the heat, Lee Yi-kyung suddenly took off his upper clothes. Miju exclaimed, “Oh oppa... put on some clothes! What are you doing?” and Yoo Jae-suk scolded, “Why are you taking off your clothes?” Lee Yi-kyung replied, “I can’t help it,” showing a somewhat embarrassing area.
At that moment, the ordered menu arrived. However, it was different from the mission card the members received. Eventually, the members ordered two additional dishes and ate the food that had already come while waiting.
As the additional orders of traditional Ethiopian coffee and galbitang arrived, they successfully ordered the food shown in the photo. The members enjoyed their meal, saying, “This is just right for our taste! Koreans will love it without any dislikes.”
Receiving the third mission location titled ‘Taste of Sweden’, the members arrived at the restaurant with only 15 minutes left. They embarked on a mukbang of sandwich cakes reinterpreted from traditional Swedish food and completed all missions within three hours.
As promised, they each received a portion of golden rice, with Joo Woo-jae, Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Yi-kyung, and Haha giving their portions to Jinju and Miju in order. Yoo Jae-suk said, “Today is the day when Miju and Jinju, who have been together for a long time, say their last goodbye. I’m really grateful that you recorded with smiles.”
Jinju said, “It’s not a permanent farewell. We will be under the same sky,” while Miju added, “I filmed thinking it’s not the end. I’ll have four kids and come back. I need to start preparing now,” leaving a funny remark.
Miju continued, “Thank you so much, everyone. It was fun,” and Jinju expressed, “I’m glad I could meet you all for over three years, and thank you for giving me more love than I expected,” conveying her heartfelt feelings.
MBC’s ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ airs every Saturday at 6:30 PM.
