[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Kim Sook shared a story that became legendary after she once ran an errand to buy cigarettes, bringing laughter to the audience.

On the 25th episode of Olive's variety show 'Bob Bless You 2,' comedians Park Na-rae, Song Eun-i, Kim Sook, and Jang Do-yeon met volleyball player Kim Yeon-koung, their life mentor, and had a meal together in Suwon Tongridan-gil.

That day, Park Na-rae said, "When the junior comedians ordered food, they would set the table," adding, "That culture disappeared when a new junior came in and, while peeling sweet and sour pork, unknowingly ate some. The seniors were watching, and when their eyes met, she spilled the sweet and sour pork. She was so surprised she did it without realizing. After that, we decided not to make juniors do errands anymore."

In response, Kim Sook said, "The old stories should be about Eun-i unnie. There was a time when we carried straw shoes," and Song Eun-i added, "There were noble houses and taverns. Back then, I was the youngest. Later, when Sook-i joined as the youngest, she didn’t do it," sparking curiosity.

Kim Sook joked, "If you asked for straw shoes, she’d bring traditional Korean shoes called gatsin, and if you asked for gatsin, she’d bring straw shoes," and Park Na-rae asked, "Isn’t there the most famous story? The cigarette errand."

Kim Sook then shared her experience running an errand to buy cigarettes in the past. She said, "A senior once gave me 100,000 won and told me to buy drinks, so I bought one, but they scolded me, asking how I could buy only one when there were so many people," and continued, "Then they gave me 100,000 won again and told me to buy cigarettes. Seeing there were many people, I bought 100 packs."

Park Na-rae and Jang Do-yeon said in unison, "This is a KBS legend," and Kim Sook laughed, saying, "It’s not my fault. I thought, how many mouths are there? So I bought that many."

When Kim Yeon-koung asked, "They didn’t make you do errands after that, right?" Kim Sook replied, "No one did. I only kept hearing 'Eun-i,' even when I was right next to them," saying that after that, only Song Eun-i kept running errands, which made everyone burst into laughter.
