[Seoul=RNX News] Reporter Kim Ye-eun = ‘Entertainment Tranquilizer’ Lee Tae-ran, who appeared on KBS2’s ‘Problematic Men in the Rooftop Room’, exploded with entertainment sense thanks to the careful care of Song Eun-yi and Kim Sook.

On the 7th (Thursday) broadcast of KBS2’s entertainment show ‘Problematic Men in the Rooftop Room Season 2’ (hereinafter ‘The Rooftop Problem Men’) episode 278, actors Lee Tae-ran and Jung Il-woo were invited to the rooftop room and participated in a dopamine-triggering quiz war with Song Eun-yi, Kim Sook, Kim Jong-kook, Hong Jin-kyung, Yang Se-chan, and Joo Woo-jae over unusual questions.

On this day, Lee Tae-ran, who appeared on entertainment shows after a long time, caught attention with her tense appearance. Lee Tae-ran said, “Entertainment appearances always make me nervous” and was restless, unable to keep her hands still. 

Song Eun-yi, who noticed this, remarked, “Your hands are so cold,” and massaged Lee Tae-ran’s hands to help her relax, also creating a comfortable atmosphere so Lee could enjoy the conversation, nurturing the ‘entertainment newborn’ Lee Tae-ran warmly.

Kim Sook also engaged in close care for her peer Lee Tae-ran by expressing her affection, stating, “There are three great Rans in the entertainment industry. Ra Mi-ran, Jang Young-ran, and Lee Tae-ran are all my friends,” listing Lee Tae-ran among her close friends.

In response, Lee Tae-ran sent a positive signal to Kim Sook’s flirting, saying, “I thought it would be nice to have a fellow entertainer friend of the same age.”

Additionally, Lee Tae-ran’s confession of being a big eater made Kim Sook’s eyes sparkle with laughter. Lee Tae-ran revealed, “A whole pizza is basic, and I also used to eat two packs of ramen at once. Also, I don’t like to waste food.”

In response, Kim Sook said, “It fits my friend conditions perfectly,” and asked, “Do you want to go camping?” initiating camping flirtation. With the close care from Song Eun-yi and Kim Sook, Lee Tae-ran’s tension melted away, and she regretfully remarked, “My mouth is finally warming up,” as it came time to part, eagerly calling Kim Sook for her “Phone number, phone number!” transitioning into a friendship.

Meanwhile, Kim Jong-kook and Joo Woo-jae delivered laughter with their tickling bro chemistry. When Jung Il-woo asked about exercise, Kim Jong-kook, activating his ‘Kku-kkanjang mode’, excitedly poured out exercise information like a motor was attached to his mouth. 

Amused, Joo Woo-jae, with a pretend yawn implying boredom, humorously brought Kku-kkanjang’s health class to an abrupt close, and Kim Jong-kook teased back, “If Woo-jae doesn’t exercise, he’ll soon have to just sit all day,” showcasing top-notch tickling back-and-forth.

Jung Il-woo disclosed, “After being diagnosed with a brain aneurysm at 27, I embarked on the Santiago pilgrimage,” and shared the reason he had gone on the pilgrimage three times. He said, “I felt I needed a chance to reflect,” adding, “It was so great that I also went with friends,” conveying his story of becoming a pilgrimage advocate. 

Moreover, it was revealed that Jung Il-woo is the creator of the recipe for ‘Dalgona Coffee’, which at one point dominated portal search keywords and various SNS, causing surprise. 

When Jung Il-woo revealed, “I have a dumpling I developed,” Hong Jin-kyung, known for her expertise with dumplings, humorously remarked, “Why would someone busy develop something like that?” bringing laughter. 

The quiz time included intriguing and curiosity-provoking questions such as ‘The Evolution of Meetings’, ‘Poetry Written on the Santiago Pilgrimage’, and ‘World Number 1 Türkiye’s Grooming Procedures’, attracting attention. The rich and delightful discussions related to the quizzes provided plenty of laughter. 

After the broadcast, feedback on various communities and SNS followed, with comments such as “It’s amazing that Jung Il-woo went on the pilgrimage three times,” “The dalgonacoffee was a recipe developed by Jung Il-woo,” “Jung Il-woo’s talk is impressive,” “I hope Lee Tae-ran and Kim Sook become close,” “Song Eun-yi and Kim Sook take good care of the guests, how heartwarming.” 

Meanwhile, the dopamine-filled chat and quiz battle held in the rooftop room on ‘Problematic Men in the Rooftop Room’ airs every Thursday at 8:30 PM on KBS 2TV.
