MBC ‘How Do You Play?’ Thrills with Frugality Challenge
Members Embark on a Humorous Journey of Extreme Saving
Balancing Pride and Hunger: The ‘One Dollar Happiness’ Challenge
On October 14th, MBC’s popular variety show How Do You Play? presents an episode filled with laughter and ingenuity. The show’s dynamic team, including Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Joo Woo-jae, and Lee Yi-kyung, is set to face a unique challenge: performing missions with a tight budget of just 10,000 Won (~$8).
The winning team will be the one to spend the least, leading to a comedic and intense battle of wits and frugality. As the photos and trailers suggest, forming teams proved to be the first hurdle.
Team Dynamics: Laughter and Despair
Haha was visibly distressed upon being paired up with frugality icon Joo Woo-jae. In a determined tone, Joo declared his lunch would consist of just sugar cubes, a decision that sparked laughter on set. Meanwhile, Haha couldn’t contain his frustration, exclaiming, “I’m really going crazy,” as he offers advice based on previous ‘One Dollar Happiness’ experiences, albeit to no effect on Joo.
In contrast, Yoo Jae-suk and Lee Yi-kyung formed a seemingly calmer team, but the stability was short-lived. Yoo Jae-suk quickly regretted not teaming up with Joo, leaving viewers curious about Yi-kyung’s antics.
Additional Twists and Turns
The challenge doesn’t just stop at budgeting. The episode ramps up entertainment value with an unexpected twist: a ‘to-do mission’ set by the members. Haha and Joo’s team draws one of the worst possible tasks, written by Yi-kyung, resulting in reactions ranging from shock to despair.
These spirited efforts to embrace both humility and hunger in pursuit of ‘One Dollar Happiness’ can be witnessed amidst much anticipation on October 14th, at 6:25 PM, on MBC’s How Do You Play?
