Fishing Rivalry Reignites in the Heart of Summer on MBC’s Hit Show

The beloved cast of Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC)’s variety show (No official English title found) returns with a summer twist as Yu Jae-suk, HaHa, Joo Woo-jae, and KCM embark on a hilarious fishing rematch. Originally airing May 17, the new episode showcases the “Fishing Quartet” heading to the river armed with traditional fish nets for a dynamic second battle in their ongoing segment.

After a lackluster winter fishing experience that yielded no catches, the group reunites in warmer weather with big hopes and bigger nets. With shouts of “Let’s catch a big one!”, the crew sets off to regain glory and laughter in equal measures by engaging in the Korean traditional method known as jukdae fishing.

Yu Jae-suk enthusiastically claims to have spotted a fish “as big as his arm,” only to find his net empty, delivering one of many laugh-out-loud moments. Despite their spirited efforts, the catch proves elusive.

After an action-packed yet fish-deprived session, the four take a break at a riverside basecamp complete with KCM’s impressive array of fishing gear. As KCM opens a secret bag containing unexpected treats, Yu Jae-suk is floored, saying, “I never imagined eating this out here,” adding a layer of cozy summer nostalgia to the adventure.

The episode also taps into Yu Jae-suk’s softer side as he remarks, “I should bring my kids to a place like this,” showcasing a heartwarming fatherly moment.

This sequel match becomes a pride-fueled rivalry after Yu Jae-suk and KCM triumphed in their last encounter, leaving HaHa and Joo Woo-jae eager for redemption. With KCM stepping up as the ‘Fishing Dad’ offering guidance, all eyes are on who will land the season’s first big catch. The exciting conclusion airs at 6:30 PM KST on May 17.
