[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 23rd, the MBC show 'How Do You Play?' aired a scene where Yoo Jae-suk operated a drive-thru chicken restaurant with Park Myung-soo.


That day, Yoo Jae-suk held a meeting with interns Kim Yeon-kyung and Jung Joon-ha for the drive-thru chicken shop. Seeing Jung Joon-ha approaching from afar, Yoo Jae-suk laughed and said, "Is this person an intern in the food industry?" When Jung Joon-ha grumbled, "Why are you not happy to see me?" Yoo Jae-suk dodged by saying, "I was just so surprised."


Following Jung Joon-ha, volleyball goddess Kim Yeon-kyung appeared, and Yoo Jae-suk and Jung Joon-ha warmly welcomed her. When Yoo Jae-suk asked, "What brings you here, Yeon-kyung?" Kim Yeon-kyung replied, "I really like chicken and all dishes made with chicken." She added, "I've been resting lately due to COVID-19," and since the Turkish league ended, she called it a "vacation that’s not really a vacation."


After exchanging updates, the three put on aprons and headed to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Park Myung-soo came in carrying a lot of secret seasoning. When Yoo Jae-suk told Park Myung-soo, "Put on your apron quickly," Park Myung-soo complained, "I'm still playing the role of the boss." Yoo Jae-suk responded, "You're not playing the boss, you are the boss," which made everyone laugh.


After everyone agreed that the test-made chicken was "delicious," Yoo Jae-suk and the members officially started operating the food truck chicken business called 'TotoDak.' When Yoo Jae-suk expressed concern, saying, "Yeon-kyung, you’ll have a lot of work," Kim Yeon-kyung confidently replied, "I’m ready."

Before the official operation, Yoo Jae-suk drove the car himself to simulate the process. However, when Kim Yeon-kyung leaned her face too close to the window to take orders, Yoo Jae-suk advised, "It’s too scary, so step back a bit when taking orders." Also, Jung Joon-ha was scolded by Yoo Jae-suk for packing orders carelessly.


Just as they were about to start real sales, Kim Shin-young’s alter ego, second aunt Kim Da-bi, appeared as a relief pitcher and joined Kim Yeon-kyung in taking orders.


Jung Joon-ha seemed to bump into Yoo Jae-suk but quickly learned after being taught once, satisfying Yoo Jae-suk with his quick wit. He continued to flawlessly handle the flood of orders. Kim Shin-young also impressed by showing Kim Yeon-kyung a fast way to assemble chicken packaging.


Once sales began, the half-and-half fried and seasoned chicken, which is harder to make than usual, started selling like hotcakes. Since every customer only wanted half-and-half chicken, Kim Shin-young devised a strategy to quietly tell Kim Yeon-kyung to mention the half-and-half option when taking orders. However, the strategy was pointless as all customers ordered half-and-half, leaving Yoo Jae-suk and the staff flustered.


At that moment, Haha, who came after seeing it on SNS, was put to work as an impromptu intern, citing "a shortage of hands."
