Peninsula: From a supporting actor to the best actor in Chungmuro

Chapter 56: King Qin Circling the Pillar 2.0
Jiang Zaixun thought his time of 2 minutes and 29 seconds was long enough.

But unexpectedly, Lee Kwang-soo took twenty seconds longer than him to finish.

Jiang Zaixun looked at the mess on the ground and suddenly realized that hard work is nothing compared to talent.

His previous performance was "designed clumsiness", and Lee Kwang-soo was simply "clumsiness itself".

Those wrestling angles, the timing of screams, and even the parabolic trajectory of the toilet plunger seem to be the variety show genes that ooze out from their bones.

“No wonder the teacher said we should buy a ticket to study.”

He muttered to himself.

The first round of individual competition is over.

Kang Jae-hoon won by 20 seconds.

The second round is a men's doubles match, where two people pull together.

Because they were the winners of the previous round, Kang Jae-hoon's team still has priority.

"Choose and attack later."

Yoo Jae-suk gave a sly smile and pulled Kang Gary over to whisper something.

After hearing this, Jiang Gary walked to the support column and knelt on one knee. The marble floor tiles under his knee reflected his fearless expression.

Yoo Jae-suk threw away his sneakers and took seven steps back to run.

The moment he jumped, he stepped accurately on Jiang Gary's thigh, and the toilet plunger "snapped" and stuck to the load-bearing column three meters high.

When he landed, he rolled over the foam pad, stood up, and pushed up his glasses as if he had just completed a high dive:
“Art, this is installation art!”

Lee Kwang-soo walked to the pillar and looked up at the shaky rubber suction cup.

He stood on tiptoe and lightly hooked his finger - the toilet plunger fell into his palm with a "pop".

"Brother Zaishi."

Lee Kwang Soo waved his trophy with a puzzled look on his face:
"You're jumping around like a shaman, is that all?"

"Hahaha--"

Jiang Jae-hoon's smiling face froze.

This guy's sense of variety shows is really innate.

Even though I knew he was acting, I just couldn't help laughing.

The second round of competition began amid laughter.

The oil industry team sent out the Ji Seok Jin & HAHA combination.

Mi PD directly came up with a wave of face-to-face taunting:
"This is a competition. Can you two handle it?"

"What happened to the two of us!?"

Ji Seok-jin instantly got furious.

HAHA cooperated by rolling up his sleeves, revealing his non-existent muscles: "PDnim, we are the first generation ace group of RM!"

"That's right!" Ji Seok-jin patted his chest, "Back when I ran faster than Jae-seok—"

"What year? BC?"

Yoo Jae-suk stabbed me in the back.

"Hahaha……"

The whole place burst into laughter.

In fact, the Oil Industry Team chose Ji Seok-jin and HAHA to appear for the sake of show effect.

If the goal is simply to win, just let Kim Jong Kook go up.

Their behavior was not unexpected.

Although their performance lacks the natural sense of humor of Lee Kwang-soo.

However, Ji Seok-jin's trembling "old arms and legs" and HAHA's exaggerated and flamboyant acting skills successfully brought a new twist to the "old people's refusal to admit defeat" joke.

"The Oil Industry Team's final score is 1 minute 38 seconds! Now, the Fashion Team, please prepare for the challenge."

Almost as soon as Yoo Jae-suk finished speaking, he pushed Kang Jae-hoon and Kim Woo-bin to the center of the venue.

As an experienced main MC, he knows the rules of camera allocation for variety shows better than anyone else.

Newcomers need exposure, programs need freshness, and artists in the promotional period need enough footage to maintain their popularity.

If the guest serves as a background board throughout the event.

If this episode is broadcast and the audience can’t even remember their faces, what’s the point of talking about publicity effect?
Kang Jae-hoon took half a step back and calmly gave the main attacking position to Kim Woo-bin.

He knew that Kim Woo Bin had a strong desire to win.

He had been on RM once before at the same time as Lee Jong Suk, and was badly bullied by Kim Jong Kook at that time. This is why he asked the director team to let him participate in the recording of this episode of RM.

"It's about to begin."

Kang Jae-hoon symbolically pressed his palm against Kim Woo-bin's lower back.

He could clearly feel the taut waist muscles under the fabric trembling slightly, like a compound bow stretched to its limit.

"beep--"

Timing begins.

Kim Woo Bin suddenly pushed off the ground with force, and the rubber sole of his sneakers rubbed against the sponge mat, making a short, mournful sound.

Jiang Zaixun cooperated by making an exaggerated pushing gesture, and his knuckles were always kept three centimeters away from the sportswear - this distance was enough for the VJ to take a perfect collaborative shot without actually applying any force.

"17, 18..." The staff's counting voices were mixed with the popping sound of the suction cups being detached.

"beep--"

The electronic timer is set at 25 seconds.

Kang Jae-hoon showed a surprised expression at the right time and celebrated with Kim Woo-bin by high-five.

The first round of the game is over.

The fashion team won both rounds and obtained three passbooks.

Yoo Jae-suk distributed three passbooks to the three guests.

Mi PD's explanation sounded at the right time:

"If the passbook remains in the hands of the holder until the end, the entire amount in it will belong to him."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zaixun opened the passbook.

The 100 million won figure shimmered in the light, and he subconsciously rubbed the edge of the printed text with his thumb.

According to this rhythm - if the fashion team can maintain its winning streak, he will have accumulated at least 4 passbooks by the final stage.

If I win the final showdown...

You can get at least 1000 million won.

"1000..."

The number rolled around on the tip of Jiang Jae-hoon's tongue.

His originally relaxed standing posture suddenly became straight, and his sneakers unconsciously rubbed against the floor.

“Jaehoon—”

Lee Kwang Soo suddenly approached stealthily.

"Inside?"

"Brother will teach you a secret——"

Lee Kwang-soo suddenly lowered his voice: "The passbook must be hidden in the lining of your underwear to be safe."

"???"

The moment Jiang Zaixun subconsciously lowered his head to look at his waistband, Li Guangzhu's deer hoof had already reached the edge of the passbook like lightning.

"Ah! Senior!!!"

He rushed out in one step, and Lee Kwang-soo was already running around the field like a wild horse, looking back and provoking him as he ran:
"Jaehoon! The essence of variety shows is - whoever grabs it first gets it!"

"PDnim!"

Jiang Zaixun pointed at Li Guangzhu and complained: "Is this a foul?"

PD Mi coughed lightly:
"The battle to defend the passbook... is also considered part of the successor's trial."

Jiang Jae-hoon didn't say anything and sprinted straight away.

The two of them once again performed the "King Qin Circling the Pillar".

However, this time the attack and defense are aliens.

Lee Kwang-soo stuffed the passbook deeper into his waistband while running, shouting:

"This is already mine! Mine!"

HAHA fanned the flames:
"Jaehoon! Just pull his pants off! Don't be polite!"

Upon hearing this, Kang Jae-hoon pounced and grabbed Lee Kwang-soo's trouser leg, and the two of them rolled into a ball in an instant.

Lee Kwang-soo held his waistband tightly, while Kang Jae-hoon tried to reach out and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

"cough……"

PD Mi laughed and said, "Please be mindful of the limits..."

finally.

With his youth and strength, Kang Jae-hoon successfully snatched the passbook from Lee Kwang-soo's waistband.

The latter collapsed on the ground and wailed:
"The younger generation nowadays don't know how to respect their elders! They've completely disgraced their elders..."

"Xiu-jung."

Jiang Zaixun suddenly stuffed the bankbook he had snatched back into Zheng Xiujing's palm:
"Please keep it for me, they won't dare to do anything wrong."

Zheng Xiujing curled her fingertips slightly:

"But there's also Ji Hyo senior."

"I protect you, and you protect it."

He moved sideways to block Song Ji Hyo's inquiring gaze.

"How about the storage fee?"

"Ice cream, please."

"Deal~"

Zheng Xiujing lowered her eyes to hide her smile——

This idiot spoke the business CP's lines like wedding vows.

If Kim Ji-won saw this, she would probably send twenty more Kakao messages to mock her for the redness on her ears.
