Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo are returning with 'Where beans are planted, laughter blooms, and happiness overflows in overseas exploration'.
tvN's 'Where beans are planted, laughter blooms, and happiness overflows in overseas exploration (Directed by Na Young-seok, Ha Mu-seong, and Shim Eun-jung)' (hereafter 'Kong Kong Pang Pang') has confirmed its premiere on October 17. The episodes featuring Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo flying to Mexico to broaden their horizons aim to tickle the viewers' funny bones.
‘Kong Kong Pang Pang’ is a story about KKPP Food employees who, after successfully completing a mission based on the saying 'Where beans are planted, beans grow, and when we eat, we gain strength', embark on an overseas exploration to Mexico to seek insights for the company's development. It is the second spin-off program of 'Where beans are planted, beans grow, and red beans grow where red beans are planted'.
KKPP Food's CEO Lee Kwang-soo, Head of Department Do Kyung-soo, and Kim Woo-bin will join as the internal audit team, showcasing their delightful chemistry. In particular, the three will personally establish the overseas exploration schedule, including the country, accommodation, and activities. They will add to the viewing pleasure as they strive to meet the budget under the financial pressure from the headquarters supporting the overseas exploration costs, sometimes attempting negotiations.
The released 42-second version of the first teaser video gives a glimpse of the chaotic exploration journey of the reliable KKPP Food employees, catching the eye. Lee Kwang-soo expresses his long-held frustrations, saying, “I can’t broaden my horizons because I have no money right now,” and “No, I can’t sleep because it smells. I’m itching to death because of the ants!” which brings laughter.
He continues, “To be precise, we were scammed. My mom will cry if she sees this,” making a bold statement that raises anticipation for another legendary season. Additionally, Lee Kwang-soo humorously claims that the situation does not match the program, not even knowing the program's title, which elicits laughter.
Meanwhile, the 15-second version of the first teaser video shows Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo heading somewhere on a boat. Their expressions, while silently moving with face masks on, suggest that the journey in Mexico will not be easy.
Furthermore, the 'Kong Kong Pang Pang' poster released alongside seems to extend the theme of the 15-second teaser video, drawing attention. Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo are seen with serious expressions, raising their arms, leaving viewers curious about the meaning behind their poses.
The comic documentary of true friends exploring foreign cultures, 'Where beans are planted, laughter blooms, and happiness overflows in overseas exploration', will premiere on Friday, October 17, at 8:40 PM on tvN.
