Kim Jong-kook and Choo Sung-hoon teamed up to push Zico into eating stinky tofu on their latest broadcast.
On the October 27th episode of SBS Plus and MBN’s travel variety show ‘A Real Man’s Travel Method in Taiwan’, the travel adventures of Choo Sung-hoon, Kim Jong-kook, and Zico continued.
The group visited a popular park in Kaohsiung frequented by children. The production team proposed a sledding game using the park’s slope, suggesting a bet where the loser would have to eat stinky tofu. Kim Jong-kook immediately started teasing Zico, saying, “Zico is going to eat it. I already ate a duck egg. You should eat the stinky tofu.” Previously, Zico had tricked Kim Jong-kook by making him eat a duck egg under the guise of a chicken egg, which left Kim Jong-kook furious.

Eager to get back at him for the past prank, Kim Jong-kook insisted that Zico had to eat the stinky tofu. Zico protested in disbelief, asking, “Why do I suddenly have to eat stinky tofu? Where is the logic in this? Is this what being a real man is all about?”
As the game commenced, Zico finished in last place, landing him the penalty. Choo Sung-hoon chimed in teasingly, saying, “This is how the real world works.” Zico vented his frustration by complaining, “Is this what power looks like? You come in last in the game, and you also have to eat stinky tofu?”
After enjoying hot pot, the cast members set out to complete their stinky tofu mission. Zico expressed deep concern, admitting it was his very first time encountering stinky tofu. Choo Sung-hoon worried about Zico’s sensitivity to smells, yet maintained a strict rule that if Zico spat it out, he would have to eat it again.
Kim Jong-kook also fueled Zico’s competitive spirit by remarking, “Since you have a strong male personality, you definitely won’t spit it out. Your male hormone level is 13 after all.”
