[Seoul=RNX News] Reporter Kim Ye-eun = In KBS2 ‘Problem Child in House’, Kim Sook confesses to a major incident caused by her habit of skimming through text.
On the upcoming 23rd (Thursday) broadcast of KBS2 variety show ‘Problem Child in House’ (hereafter ‘Problem Child’), problem children who have filled their brains with all sorts of trivia over the past 7 years gather again to engage in a dopamine-triggering quiz battle over extraordinary problems. Song Eun-yi, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin-kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Woo-jae will compete.
This week’s show features Nam Min-ae, a professor of writing loved by Seoul National University students and the daughter of poet Na Tae-joo, as a rooftop guest. In this context, Kim Sook has a moment of reflection(?) in front of Nam Min-ae, ‘the god of Korean education’, drawing laughter.
On this day, when Nam Min-ae expresses concern about the current generation’s ‘trend of abbreviating text’, Kim Sook intensely sympathizes.
When Nam Min-ae says, “Today’s children are too busy; they don’t have the leisure time to express themselves in long sentences,” Kim Sook nods along, saying, “I also don’t look at text for long. I tend to skim through quickly,” feeling it’s a relatable phenomenon.
She continues, “Last time, I saw a headline and told Eun-yi unnie, ‘A crab restaurant opened near Gyeongbokgung,’ but it turned out to be ‘Gyeongbokgung Night Opening’,” revealing this and causing laughter.
Because of her skimming habit, the word ‘night opening’ got self-filtered to ‘soy sauce crab’, her primary interest.
When Song Eun-yi testifies, “Back then, Sook was so excited, saying, ‘Unnie, we must go here. There’s a line,’” Kim Sook responds, “I’ve reflected,” making Nam Min-ae burst into laughter with her embarrassed smile.
On the other hand, it’s reported that Nam Min-ae highly praised Kim Sook’s innate talent, raising interest.
Reflecting on the past, Nam Min-ae said, “There was a time when my mom only laughed. It was when she saw my report card showing first place. That’s when I started studying hard,” to which Kim Sook wittily responds, “Wasn’t it that your mother was active and lying down just as you were about to come in?” turning the scene into a sea of laughter.
To this, Professor Nam Min-ae exclaims, “You have a natural talent,” praising Kim Sook as “a person proficient in being funny and having unpredictable wit,” which reportedly moved her.
Thus, attention is focused on the natural and witty exploits of Kim Sook, which enthralled the god of Korean education, Nam Min-ae, in the broadcast of ‘Problem Child in House’.
‘Problem Child in House’, featuring dopamine-explosive chatter and quiz battles in the rooftop, airs every Thursday at 8:30 PM on KBS 2TV.
