The fact that actor Yoo Jae-myung is younger than Yoo Jae-suk sparked surprise.

According to Nielsen Korea, the ratings agency, the SBS variety show 'Tteumman Namyen,' which aired on the 6th, recorded a peak viewership of 5.5%, a nationwide average of 4.1%, and 1.3% in the 2049 demographic. This marked its eighth consecutive week as the top-rated program among all variety shows, dramas, and documentaries airing in the same time slot for Season 5, while also maintaining its position as the number one Tuesday variety show in the 2049 demographic.

On this day, Yoo Jae-suk and guest Yoo Jae-myung revealed an unexpected age gap, eliciting laughter. Yoo Jae-suk surprised everyone by stating, "Jae-myung is a year younger than me." In response, Yoo Jae-myung happily asked, "Aren't you also from the Gangneung Yoo clan? Aren't you a Myo-geum?" Upon hearing this, Yoo Jae-suk immediately acted superior, saying, "Myo-geum is my junior."

Yoo Jae-myung shyly confessed, "This is my fifth time appearing on a variety show," but for only a brief moment. He then skillfully delivered an enthusiastic cheering line to promote his film, startling the veteran variety show hosts.

Meanwhile, Lee Sun-bin, known as 'The Daughter of Cheonan,' raised the energy level right from the start with her passionate boasting about Cheonan. Lee Sun-bin stated, "I am a promotional ambassador for Cheonan," and listed numerous famous spots in the city one after another, astonishing everyone. The next gap location was Lee Sun-bin's former middle school. Although she was deeply immersed in memories, she expressed a sense of grave responsibility by saying, "I'm so nervous that I'm sweating all over my body," which made Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Yoo Jae-myung burst into laughter.

The first gap host they visited, receiving enthusiastic cheers from the students, was a group of middle school students in the school magazine club. Their pure passion for conducting their own interviews and handcrafting the magazine captured the hearts of Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Lee Sun-bin, and Yoo Jae-myung.

The first gap game was 'Take Off, Take Off, Airplane,' in which players used 10 paper airplanes to create a bingo pattern on a milk carton. Lee Sun-bin expressed her burden given that it was her alma mater and fell into the trap of endless practice. Thanks to the efforts of Yoo Yeon-seok and Yoo Jae-myung, they successfully completed stages one and two on their fifth attempt. However, at stage three, the center of the box became blocked, causing the difficulty to spike sharply. Seeing the students' dejected reactions, Lee Sun-bin apologized, saying, "It feels like I've been shot. My heart aches." The four worked hard, even dedicating their knees, in an attempt to succeed. However, despite obtaining additional chances, they unfortunately failed at stage three. Lee Sun-bin soothed the disappointment by saying, "Since you are my juniors, I will share some of it," and physically engaged with the snack prizes.

Amidst this, Lee Sun-bin, 'The Daughter of Cheonan,' drew attention by promoting the leisurely charm of Chungcheong Province. Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Yoo Jae-myung, who are from Seoul and Busan respectively, were far removed from the relaxed sentimentality of Chungcheong. Lee Sun-bin calmly responded to the three men rushing her at every bus stop by saying, "In Chungnam, you need to have leisure." She then skillfully preached the Chungcheong-style ease, stating, "A 10-minute distance in Chungnam is practically right next door," gradually adapting the three men to the leisurely nature of the region and eliciting laughter.

The second gap host was the family of a dumpling hot pot restaurant owner. They are a family that has been running the restaurant for 33 years, with the mother and son succeeding each other, showcasing their tight-knit family bond and creating a heartwarming atmosphere.

The gap game was 'Pong into the Steamer,' where players bounced table tennis balls with their fingers to score them into a steamer. Yoo Jae-suk broke out in a cold sweat, saying, "I feel even more sorry because you are cheering so enthusiastically." However, this was short-lived; after a miraculous buzzer-beater on his fifth attempt, he successfully completed stages one and two. Yoo Jae-myung exclaimed, "This is drama," savoring the joy of success.

However, as they moved further from the steamer, a series of precarious failures occurred where the ball seemed like it would go in but didn't. Yoo Jae-myung quickly put on a sad face, saying, "It's driving me crazy," which caused laughter. Even their ace, Yoo Yeon-seok, exhausted his solo challenge opportunity, narrowly failing by a hair's breadth in the final attempt, drawing sighs of disappointment. Lee Sun-bin knelt down and said, "The Daughter of Cheonan apologizes," expressing her regret with her whole body, which made the gap hosts smile. In response, the son of the gap host promised, "I will buy the gift for my mother myself," bringing a warm conclusion.
