'Where beans grow, beans grow; where farms grow, farms grow: Animal Farm' kicked off with a fierce battle over manure.

The first episode of tvN's 'Where beans grow, beans grow; where farms grow, farms grow: Animal Farm' (hereinafter 'KongKongPamPam'), aired on the 19th, intriguingly unfolded from the first day of Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo's chaotic technical training to the appearance of intern Moon Sang-hoon.

The broadcast's viewership averaged 3.0% nationwide and peaked at 3.6% among all households, while in the Seoul metropolitan area, it averaged 3.5% and peaked at 4.2%, securing first place in the same time slot across cable and general entertainment channels. Among the 2049 male and female target audience of tvN, the program achieved first place in the same time slot across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters, both nationwide and in the Seoul metropolitan area, signaling a pleasant start.

First, Kim Woo-bin appeared in a cowboy visual suited to the ranch concept, demonstrating unwavering courtesy toward viewers even in the new season and exuding a unique presence. Additionally, the 'KKPP Food' universe continued, confirming that the ranching technical training, born from the company's dream of creating an agricultural complex cultural space and Lee Kwang-soo's wish to be with animals, sparked interest in a new challenge.

From the first day of the Jeju Island dairy farm technical training, the trio went through hardship and healing. In particular, Do Kyung-soo made a dizzying mistake by spreading manure toward Kim Woo-bin while cleaning out the heifer barn, and Lee Kwang-soo's anger gauge rose as he stepped on manure that the production team had just spread, eliciting laughter.

Meanwhile, as the members grew tired of cleaning manure, they became captivated by the cute calves drinking milk, showing fatherly smiles that made viewers happy. They also had a meaningful experience of naming two newborn calves 'KongKong' and 'PamPam' and personally writing their names on their ears.

The sense of accomplishment from seeing the cows eating feed and hay in the cleaned barn was brief; Lee Kwang-soo was momentarily speechless upon realizing he would have to clean manure from other barns over the remaining two days. He then told the production team, "Isn't this 'DongDongPamPam' instead of 'KongKongPamPam'?" and added, "There must be other things to do," leaving viewers curious about the journey ahead.

The genuine friendship vibe among the trio amplified the fun. In particular, when Do Kyung-soo revealed that he had worn the same work clothes for two days, leaving a strong manure smell on them, Lee Kwang-soo and Kim Woo-bin began playfully teasing the youngest member, bringing laughter. Even though manure had stained his clothes, Kim Woo-bin, who wore white clothes to maintain courtesy toward viewers, said, "I'm not wearing something stained with manure like someone else. That shows a lack of sincerity." Lee Kwang-soo agreed, saying, "It's not a matter of sincerity; it's a nuisance," and gave Do Kyung-soo the nickname 'Dong-kyung-soo'.

Meanwhile, while the three men were receiving their second-day technical training, the first intern, Moon Sang-hoon, arrived in Jeju Island, drawing attention. Moon Sang-hoon, who has a personal relationship with the representative Lee Kwang-soo, revealed that he is the type to submit to power and expressed his ambition to become the captain's parrot, which holds more power than the vice-captain. He also boldly stated, "I hope the moment never comes when I say this to the representative," and added, "I am currently an intern, but the moment I leave, I will be a customer," heightening interest.

However, Moon Sang-hoon, who dreamed of an intern rebellion, soon regretted his words and became increasingly tense as his meeting with Lee Kwang-soo, Kim Woo-bin, and Do Kyung-soo drew closer. After Moon Sang-hoon finished his morning work and arrived at the lodging where the three were resting, viewers were left wondering about the story of the four of them.

Meanwhile, 'KongKongPamPam' airs every Friday at 8:35 p.m.
