Kim Jae-joong's close Japanese friend Shirota Yu directly mentioned the differences between Korean and Japanese broadcasting.
On the broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'New Product Launch Convenience Store' (hereinafter 'Convenience Store') on September 3rd (Thursday), Kim Jae-joong and Nam Bo-ra's daily life was revealed. In the kimchi menu competition, Kim Yong-bin's leek kimchi won the championship. The broadcast recorded a national viewership rating of 3.1% and a peak per-minute rating of 4.3% according to Nielsen Korea, showing an increase from the previous week.
Previously, Kim Jae-joong first unveiled his Tokyo house through 'Convenience Store,' and on this day he visited Harajuku. Not only Japanese people but also foreigners visiting Japan recognized Kim Jae-joong and cheered, and large photos of Kim Jae-joong, photo booths, and vending machines selling Kim Jae-joong beverages were spotted throughout Tokyo.
Kim Jae-joong then visited the Japanese branch office of his company and gifted the staff kimchi and beverages he had made himself. After stopping by his favorite sushi restaurant, he returned home and invited his long-time friend Shirota Yu.
Shirota Yu, called the crown prince of the Japanese musical world, was surprised to see Kim Jae-joong's Tokyo house and said, "You've succeeded." The two showed off their close friendship with awkward Korean and witty conversation, and Shirota Yu raised laughs by suspecting Kim Jae-joong of a secret romance.
After tasting Kim Jae-joong's bonito flakes cheese dak-galbi, Shirota Yu sweated from the spiciness but shouted "It's delicious."
In particular, Shirota Yu, who appeared on Korean broadcasting for the first time in his 27-year entertainment career, shared his thoughts on the differences between Japanese and Korean broadcasting. He said, "Japanese broadcasting feels like it only shows what happens on the spot, but Korea feels like it's adding color with many colored pencils, so it's fun." He then took a heart pose while shouting "Love you Convenience Store" with Kim Jae-joong.
Meanwhile, the birth process of Nam Bo-ra's 'Kongali' was also revealed for the first time. Three days before the due date, Nam Bo-ra visited the hospital and shed tears at the medical staff's decision for emergency cesarean section. Just 4 hours after arriving at the hospital, she headed to the operating room. Her husband and mother watched the birth with anxious hearts.
Nam Bo-ra shed tears as she held the safely born 'Kongali' in her arms. After seeing her mother through the VCR, Nam Bo-ra said, "Only after becoming a mother do you truly understand a mother's heart and can somewhat understand her," and added, "I will raise Kongali beautifully."
In the kimchi menu competition that day, Kim Yong-bin's leek kimchi won the final championship. Yang Ji-eun praised it, saying, "My head is completely filled with leek kimchi." Kim Yong-bin responded with, "I can't believe it," and said, "Thank you to my beloved grandmother and our 'Mister Trot 3' TOP7 members."
Kim Yong-bin's leek kimchi will be launched as a convenient food on Ourhome's online mall and can also be found as a meal menu at Ourhome dining halls nationwide. KBS 2TV's 'New Product Launch Convenience Store' airs every Thursday at 8:30 PM.
