KBS2’s Rooftop Room's Problem Kids gathers a group of quick-witted personalities on a rooftop set where they sharpen their minds against a steady stream of oddball facts. The show’s lineup — Song Eun-yi, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin-kyung, Yang Se-chan and Joo Woo-jae — faces off in rapid-fire, dopamine-fueled quiz battles. Episode 307, airing Thursday the 26th, features actor Park Sung-woong, often billed as the epitome of overwhelming charisma, and actress Lee Soo-kyung, widely regarded as the personification of loveliness. Their sharply contrasting energies promise a steady flow of laughs.

Meanwhile, MC Hong Jin-kyung flipped into full professional mode and charged the rooftop with new energy. Having resumed modeling, she recently walked at Paris Fashion Week — one of the industry’s \"Big Four\" — a move that generated considerable buzz. Kim Jong-kook admitted, \"We had preconceived notions about Jin-kyung, but on the runway she looks incredible,\" which clearly pleased her. That mood didn’t last long: mischievous younger cast members Joo Woo-jae and Yang Se-chan immediately piled on, teasing her to great comic effect. Yang quipped, \"We don’t usually treat her that way — she always sits slouched here, so I never realized she was a model,\" and Joo added, \"I had no idea she could walk like that. She's usually sitting or leaning, so when she started walking I was shocked,\" prompting uproarious laughter from the room.

Hong also shared a few Paris Fashion Week anecdotes. Brushing off her colleagues’ onslaught of jokes, she laughed, \"I guess people find it fun to tease me.\" She recalled one commenter asking about her lip makeup and whether she had \"Dujjonku\" on, which set everyone off laughing. Ever ready to riff, Joo Woo-jae then pointed out that her outfit that day was pistachio, instantly dubbing her the \"human Dujjonku\" and turning the rooftop into a sea of laughter.

Rooftop Room's Problem Kids airs every Thursday at 8:30 p.m. on KBS 2TV.
