Entertainer Jang Seong-gyu makes a surprising revelation about singer Lee Seok-hoon.
In the first episode of KBS Joy's variety program "Friends Only," airing on the 15th, married men will compete to persuade their wives in order to secure a single room.
On this day, Lee Seok-hoon, Jang Seong-gyu, and Ko Young-bae board a cruise bound for Japan and begin a cabin assignment game. Their mission is to win the single room by convincing their wives to grant them extra vacation days, prompting each man to launch phone campaigns to persuade their spouses.
After the mission was revealed, when Ko Young-bae cautiously asked the production team, "If I can't get through now, can I try again?" Jang Seong-gyu replied with a laugh, "Of course we have to try again. My wife doesn't answer my calls on the first try." Then, when Ko suddenly pulled out and applied a motion sickness patch, Jang quipped, "Are you getting seasick because you're thinking about calling your wife?" sparking laughter from the start.
As the phone mission officially began, tensions among the three men escalated. Watching Jang Seong-gyu on the phone with his wife, Lee Seok-hoon called her directly and launched a clumsy interference tactic. In response, Jang snatched the phone from Lee Seok-hoon, who was also on a call with his wife, and quickly spread a rumor: "Seok-hoon says his ideal type is a Japanese woman." Upon hearing this, Lee Seok-hoon reacted repeatedly with strong responses, turning the set into chaos.
Meanwhile, Ko Young-bae struggled to reach his wife by phone, breaking out in cold sweat. Despite repeated attempts, when the call still wouldn't connect, he cried out, "What are you doing, honey!" causing everyone to burst into laughter. It remains to be seen whether Ko will successfully reach his wife and who among the three will be the first to receive permission for an extended vacation and claim the coveted single room.
In a previously released preview of the first episode, Jang Seong-gyu was seen shouting "Kawaii!" on location in Japan and attempting impromptu hunting, raising curiosity. Additionally, while conversing with Lee Seok-hoon and Ko Young-bae, he openly shared his honest concerns about having a third child, further heightening anticipation for the full broadcast. The travelogue of married men titled "Friends Only," which already garnered attention solely through its preview video, continues to spark interest in what stories it will reveal.
Meanwhile, "Friends Only" will air on the 15th at 8 p.m.
