On "Malja Show," Jang Dong-sun and Kim Ddol-ddol expressed empathy and offered advice regarding the story of a Pokémon enthusiast.

The KBS 2TV variety show "Malja Show," broadcast on the 26th, was themed as an episode titled "Is It Just Me?" and featured neuroscientist Dr. Jang Dong-sun and YouTuber Kim Ddol-ddol as guests.

On this day, the story of an office worker who formed a Pokémon gathering and spends nearly 5 million won on average per year was revealed. He stated that he had chosen a career path different from his parents' wishes, such as selecting a college of engineering over medical school despite ranking in the top 200 nationally on the CSAT, and said, "I have liked Pokémon since I was young and formed a Pokémon gathering, which has grown in size."

Subsequently, a story about spending 8 million won on Pokémon cards over six months also appeared, drawing attention. He brought out a gold card worth 700,000 won each to the scene, capturing everyone's gaze. The storyteller confessed his concern, saying, "I thought it was fine if only I pursued my hobby, but situations have arisen where people around me are affected."

Dr. Jang Dong-sun said, "Knowing what you like and investing in it is a good thing," encouraging healthy fandom. He then offered neuroscientific advice, stating, "You must set a clear level for how much to consume. Otherwise, there are cases where one engages in fandom habitually out of anxiety."

Kim Ddol-ddol added sincere advice based on his own experience. He said, "Things worked out well because I did what I liked. If some potential is visible, it seems like a good idea to keep trying what you like." He also shared his experience with "Coltech," the collection of limited-edition Coca-Cola bottles, adding depth to the stories of the "fandom" enthusiasts.

"Malja Halme" (Grandma Malja) Kim Young-hee encouraged the storyteller who confessed their "fandom" concerns by saying, "If you dig into what makes you happy, you never know what might be waiting for you," urging them to faithfully pursue both their main job and hobbies.

In addition, the broadcast on this day featured various stories, including Kim Ddol-ddol's experience of recovering his relationship with his parents after coming out to them, and Dr. Jang Dong-sun's analysis of "why husbands are nagged by their wives," delivering both laughter and empathy simultaneously.
