This time, he’s not the glamorous superstar we’re used to seeing, but an everyday office worker, showing off his unexpected charm. The episode will also highlight his cross-generational popularity and his surprising ability to handle extremely spicy food!

In a VCR segment shown during the broadcast, Kim Jaejoong arrived at GS Tower in Gangnam, wearing a stunning suit that instantly caught everyone's attention.

His entrance quickly caused a scene, with a huge crowd of office workers gathering around him. As he walked through the building, people followed him, and he ended up hosting an impromptu fan signing event, proving just how popular he is!

But Jaejoong wasn’t just in Gangnam for his suit. He was there to participate in a special event for the convenience store’s Gimbap Research Team, who were releasing a special gimbap in honor of Penthouse Restaurant. Jaejoong, acting as a special one-day MD, also revealed his spicy food skills. Known as a "spicy master," he made a fiery, red spicy gimbap by adding random ingredients. The staff who tried it were left in tears from the heat, bringing lots of laughs to the set.

Kim Jaejoong even shared a fun story about a famous spicy jjambbong restaurant in Singil-dong, saying, "I became the first 'complete spicy master' of 2024 there," showing off his spicy food expertise and leaving everyone in stitches.
