[NewsCulture reporter Ji-yeon Kim] On I Paid For It: Dokbak Tour 4, Kim Jun-ho flushed with embarrassment after Kang Jae-joon called out his loud snoring, immediately thinking of his wife Kim Ji-min and slipping into reflective mode.
Episode 45 of ChannelS's I Paid For It: Dokbak Tour 4, airing on the 11th, follows Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon and Hong In-gyu on the second day of their domestic getaway to Chuncheon in Gangwon Province. That morning, Chuncheon native Kang Jae-joon joined the gang and helped kick off a memorable day.
Braving a bone-chilling -16°C (about 3°F), the Dokbak crew set out for a morning run. Yoo Se-yoon, who leads the comedians' running crew Gungsireong Gungsireon, was visibly hyped and tried to lift everyone's spirits. But Hong In-gyu couldn't hide his hurt, asking, \"Did you ditch the running crew we made?\" Jang Dong-min chimed in, \"You're not even going to post the stuff we shot together,\" and the back-and-forth had everyone cracking up.
At one point, Kang Jae-joon deadpanned, \"Last night I thought someone upstairs was doing renovations,\" and exposed Kim Jun-ho's thunderous snoring. Kim Jun-ho immediately owned it—\"So that's why Ji-min was annoyed with me\"—then vowed to go on a diet, sending the group into fresh laughter.
In that warm, joking atmosphere, they took on one of Chuncheon's landmark running routes. The plan was a roughly 3 km (about 1.9-mile) stretch, but Kim Jun-ho whined before they even set off: \"Does it even make sense to run in this cold?\" Kang Jae-joon shot back bluntly, \"You have to run if you want to cut down on snoring,\" while Jang Dong-min teased, \"You’ll probably snore more because you'll be more exhausted,\" keeping the scene light and loud with laughter.
The playful chemistry continued as they ran along the Soyang River, crossed Chuncheon Bridge and headed toward the Soyanggang Virgin statue. Fans will be watching to see if this crew can conquer the roughly 3 km route in Chuncheon, a true running mecca.
Catch the second installment of the Chuncheon trip—packed with laughs and chemistry—on the 11th at 9 PM on ChannelS's I Paid For It: Dokbak Tour 4.
