Chapter 31

"Bang!" "Go to hell, Lee Seung-gi!"

"Bang!" "Damn Lee Seung-gi!"

What's going on here? It turns out that a week had passed without him realizing it. Lee Seung-lim couldn't just sit in the yard basking in the sun every day, could he? So he got a punching bag and practiced boxing every day, shouting slogans to keep himself entertained...

During this week, he thought a lot. You, Lee Seung-gi, want to suppress me in every aspect, right? Then I'll challenge you head-on.

In his previous life, Lee Seung-lim had some understanding of Lee Seung-gi. He was indeed very impressive, but to be honest, his influence was mainly concentrated in South Korea, and it was weaker overseas. After all, he had a powerful father! Since that's the case, I'll challenge you in the entertainment industry.

You're big in the country? Fine, then I'll strive for a lot of overseas popularity!

After 2012, we'll have a decisive battle in the country, and I'll cut off your roots!

Wow, Lee Seung-lim's plan sounds good, right? It seems interesting, but the reality is...

"He has a good plan, but what should I do? Joining the entertainment industry is a must, but what about the kids? How can I increase my overseas popularity..." Forget it, I'll just keep punching "Lee Seung-gi"...

"Family Outing" is a new segment added to SBS's weekly Sunday show "Good Sunday," which was launched due to the great success of MBC's "Infinite Challenge." Korean variety shows officially shifted from indoor to outdoor reality shows.

KBS, one of the three major TV stations, had already launched its flagship outdoor show "2 Days & 1 Night" hosted by Kang Ho-dong last year, which had excellent ratings. So SBS couldn't sit still and created this new variety show centered around Yoo Jae-suk! (If you're new to Korean entertainment and don't know "Family Outing," look it up yourself; I won't waste words introducing it.)

Outdoor variety shows are very tiring. Finally, it's dinner time, and everyone is exhausted. After a hard day's work, the actual edited content is less than an hour, but all that effort is necessary, sigh!

Suddenly, Lee Hyori burst out, "Yoo Jae-suk, I hate you!"

Yoo Jae-suk instinctively moved away from Lee Hyori, "Hyori, I didn't provoke you today, watch your image!"

"Ever since you tricked me into this show, I've suffered and worked hard, where's my image now?"

Of course, this is for the show's effect. After all, Lee Hyori needed to transition as she got older, and Yoo Jae-suk was helping her...

"Ha, the moon is so full tonight!" Yoo Jae-suk looked up at the sky.

Hey, it's summer, does the moon come out this early...

"Don't change the subject, I don't care, I'm starving, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"

This part had no script, but the PD thought it was more genuine and signaled Yoo Jae-suk to continue.

"Hyori, we don't have any meat here, bear with it, I'll take you out for barbecue when we get back..."

"No way, it has to be now! Even if I don't eat, we can't let the guest Brian go hungry!"

Lee Hyori had her reasons for making excuses, but in the early days of Korean outdoor variety shows, guests were still treated well. Unlike later when the shows matured and guests were tortured one after another.

But as the saying goes, "Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai," even if it's a bit tough, more screen time is a good thing, right?

"Sis, I..." Brian was about to say he didn't want to eat, but seeing Lee Hyori's murderous look, he quickly surrendered, "I want to eat too!"

Lee Hyori was satisfied and retracted her intimidating aura, nodding at Yoo Jae-suk, meaning, "You see that, right..."

There was no way around it. Even Kang Ho-dong had to back down in front of the invincible Lee Hyori, let alone Yoo Jae-suk, "I'll go borrow some from the locals..."

Originally, the PD wanted to send a VJ with him to capture some interesting scenes, but Yoo Jae-suk was too tired and knew he couldn't produce good content, so he refused.

Although the PD has a lot of power, it's not necessary to argue over small things with the core of the show, right...

Fate can be so strange sometimes. Yoo Jae-suk passed by several houses without entering any. Why? He was embarrassed. The national MC borrowing meat from the locals?

Sigh, he couldn't do that. Thinking of the terrifying Lee Hyori, Yoo Jae-suk decided that he would definitely ask the next household. Between his pride and his life, he chose his life without hesitation...

The smell of the meat was so good...

Yoo Jae-suk swallowed, thinking that as long as he didn't encounter someone like Seung-lim, maybe he could get some meat with his face?

Just a moment ago, he was too embarrassed to borrow meat, but now he was already thinking about freeloading. Yoo Jae-suk, where's your dignity...

So, fate can be so strange. Just when he said he didn't want to meet someone like Lee Seung-lim, he met him...

It was quite a coincidence that this episode of "Family Outing" was being filmed in the village where Lee Seung-lim's ancestral home was located.

Since Lee Seung-lim was facing sideways to Yoo Jae-suk, Yoo Jae-suk didn't recognize him at first. He only saw a man with a wolf head tattoo on his shoulder and many scars eating.

Why was he bare-chested? He was boxing and exercising at home, so he was sweating and didn't need to wear a shirt...

Actually, the entertainment industry and the underworld are somewhat connected, everywhere in the world. Where the lights are brightest, it's often the darkest... Yoo Jae-suk had only seen gangsters in suits, looking like successful businessmen. This scarred man, well, he'd better keep his distance...

Just as Yoo Jae-suk was about to leave, Lee Seung-lim sensed something and turned around, "Oh? Yoo Jae-suk? How did you know I was here? Did you come to see me?"

It's Seung-lim! Yoo Jae-suk was relieved but pointed at his body, "You?"

"Men, what's there to be embarrassed about!"

"I mean these scars!" Especially when Lee Seung-lim turned around, the huge scar on his chest was truly shocking...

"Oh, these?" Lee Seung-lim didn't take it seriously, "When I was young and foolish..."

Young... You're only twenty, right? Thinking about this, Yoo Jae-suk noticed that Lee Seung-lim wasn't wearing a tacky shirt or glasses, and his hair was tied back for convenience. Looking at his muscular body and face, despite the beard, he could see that he was a very handsome young man...

"Stop talking nonsense, how did you know I was here?" Lee Seung-lim was quite curious. Did he know his father? Ji-sung? Su-yeong?

Yoo Jae-suk's stomach growled, reminding him of his immediate priority. He unceremoniously served himself a bowl of rice, "Wow, this meat is great! It's Chinese, braised pork, right?"

Watching Yoo Jae-suk eat heartily, Lee Seung-lim was speechless... My question...

"As for how I got here?" Finally, after easing his hunger, Yoo Jae-suk continued, "I told you before, SBS asked me to do a new show. I'm filming it now, and I didn't expect to run into you again!"
