'The Travel Method of Real Men in Kyushu': Choo Sung-hoon, Kim Jong-kook, and BIGBANG's Daesung share their true feelings with each other after the production crew departs.

'The Travel Method of Real Men in Kyushu' on SBS Plus, airing on the 5th, will feature Choo Sung-hoon, Kim Jong-kook, and Daesung setting aside their usual lively variety show energy to openly discuss their concerns about marriage, age, and more.

'Earlier, the three men, celebrating the second night of their Real Men trip, had grown even closer after experiencing Choo Sung-hoon's thunderous tiger-like snoring the previous night. Satisfied with the feeling that "it's like a trip just for real men," the trio began sharing the unfiltered chatter of men in their 30s and 50s that they had never done before once the production crew had all left.

'The youngest, Daesung, said, "I vaguely thought I wanted to get married before I turned 40, just because I was young," bringing up his concerns about marriage. Kim Jong-kook agreed, saying, "I felt the same way. I assumed I would get married." Choo Sung-hoon then confessed, "But I definitely feel that my thoughts are quite different from those of younger people," noting the generational gap.

'Kim Jong-kook starts a comedic revenge plot against Choo Sung-hoon, who had issued a "menu ban" on him, sparking laughter. At a traditional Udon restaurant in Kagoshima, Choo Sung-hoon and Daesung, Kim Jong-kook snatches the menu selection rights by saying, "You have to eat what I eat," prompting Kim Jong-kook to quickly deliver his signature attack: "Hyung-nim, do you want to wear insoles?" Furthermore, when Daesung jokes at a convenience store that Choo Sung-hoon's sweet tooth is "similar to (Choo) Sa-rang's," Kim Jong-kook adds a weighty warning.

'Meanwhile, Choo Sung-hoon and Kim Jong-kook engage in a childish 101-year-old argument, perfectly fitting their nickname "Tom and Jerry of Real Men," creating a sea of laughter. While Choo Sung-hoon was running the washing machine at the lodging, he suddenly pointed out to Kim Jong-kook, "Your style smells too much like an old man!" Kim Jong-kook retorted, "You're the one who wears the same thing from head to toe!" forming a perfect comedic exchange.

'The production team stated, "Choo Sung-hoon, Kim Jong-kook, and Daesung offer the most natural and human moments you can't see in other variety shows through sincere talk," and added, "Please join us in watching the third episode, which will feature precious scenes like a Children's Day gift."

'The Travel Method of Real Men in Kyushu' Episode 3 will air on the 5th at 8:40 p.m.
