Local resident Choo Sung-hoon from Osaka, Japan embarks on a global tour.
On the 22nd at 10 PM, the MBC entertainment program "Save Me! Homes" (directed by Jeong Da-hee, Kim Moon-seop, So In-ji, Kim Wan-cheol, Heo Ja-yoon, hereafter referred to as "Homes") will feature mixed martial artist and broadcaster Choo Sung-hoon and Joo Woo-jae heading to Osaka, Japan for a local tour.
This episode marks the first time "Homes" has ventured abroad for a "Global Local Tour." The first protagonist of the "Global Local Tour" is broadcaster Choo Sung-hoon, who takes Joo Woo-jae to his hometown of Osaka, Japan.
The two head to a judo dojo located in Tsuruhashi, Osaka. Choo Sung-hoon reveals, "I started judo here with my father," as they begin their tour of the dojo. He humorously adds, "At that time, the judo instructor taught on the first floor, and ran a bone-setting clinic on the second floor. If you got injured while training, you went straight upstairs."
As Choo Sung-hoon explores the unchanged dojo, he discovers photos of himself and his father, along with various awards. Meanwhile, Joo Woo-jae showcases various falling techniques in the dojo and eventually challenges Choo Sung-hoon. Choo Sung-hoon responds, "I'll hold your sleeve, so try to escape from my grip." This raises curiosity about whether Joo Woo-jae can successfully break free from Choo Sung-hoon's grasp.
In the meantime, upon hearing that his judo master is unwell and that someone else is temporarily running the dojo, Choo Sung-hoon surprises everyone by saying, "If you want to keep this dojo, please contact me."
Next, the two head to Tsuruhashi Station, located near the dojo, to check out Osaka's culinary delights. Choo Sung-hoon introduces the area as originally being filled with many yakiniku restaurants, stating that as you enter the market area, the smell is overwhelming from the entrance.
Once inside the restaurant, the two dive into a yakiniku eating show. Choo Sung-hoon shares his personal standards for enjoying yakiniku deliciously, showcasing an epic eating performance. Not to be outdone, Joo Woo-jae also presents an unprecedented appetite, leading to a chaotic scene in the studio.
Moving to the heart of Osaka, in Chuo Ward, the two explore a high-rise tower mansion. Choo Sung-hoon explains that the concept of apartments differs between Korea and Japan, noting that in Japan, buildings with three or more floors are called "mansions," while those with two or fewer floors are referred to as "apartments."
Upon entering the tower mansion, the two are in awe of the spacious living room with a view of downtown Osaka. Here, Choo Sung-hoon is set to introduce essential spaces in Japanese homes, drawing attention.
The "Osaka Global Local Tour" with Choo Sung-hoon will be aired on the 22nd at 10 PM on MBC's "Save Me! Homes."
