Karina, Do Kyung-soo, and Gavi will work as part-time staff.
On the 15th, the production team of tvN's new variety program "Cosmic Rice Cake Shop" released a highlight video capturing the wild journey of Lee Young-ji traveling from Goheung to Seoul following just one remark by Lee Young-ji.
"Cosmic Rice Cake Shop" is a program featuring the punishment performance of Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yujin, who failed the escape room mission created by Torong in "Byeongbyeong Earth Amusement Park 2."
The highlight video begins with scenes of Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yujin reacting with surprise upon hearing news that a second branch will open in Seoul.
When main chef Lee Young-ji immediately lies down on the floor, Lee Eun-ji remarks, "You said you were going to Seoul. That's why we prepared this," indicating that what is sown is being reaped. In fact, the production team pushes forward with such intensity that if Lee Young-ji wishes, they are ready to go to the United States as well.
Additionally, it hints at a difficult labor environment where Ji-rak, whose audio settings are set to maximum by default, forgets to speak. Even when Lee Young-ji says, "In 'Byeongbyeong Earth Amusement Park,' success is always proportional to difficulty," Ahn Yujin asks, "How successful will it be?" as everyone breaks into detached smiles.
The novice shopkeepers pay the price for their decision to make rice cakes themselves, personally feeling the hardships of business. Unlike typical restaurant operation variety programs, not a single customer shows up, and labor-management conflicts arise.
Meanwhile, the convergence of advanced POS systems, sturdy part-time workers, the dream of a franchise, and the wish to go to Seoul makes the opening of the Seoul branch a reality, drawing attention. At the Seoul branch, which is larger than the Goheung location, aespa's Karina, Gavi, and Do Kyung-soo are scheduled to work as daily part-time staff.
