The episode of the MBC variety show “What Do You Do When You’re Bored?” (What Do You Do?) airing on the 11th is titled “The War of Money in Gumi” and features the “country bumpkins” visiting Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province—the hometown of “Cheerful” Lee Seon-min.
In the released photos, a “loyalty envelope” makes a surprise appearance—not at a restaurant, but at Lee Seon-min’s family home—capturing viewers’ attention. The members agree to “contribute whatever we have,” but among them, Joo Woo-jae looks flustered and hesitates to open his wallet.

Joo Woo-jae then pulls out his emergency fund to show everyone, and they’re all shocked when they see the amount. Facing the largest stake in the show’s history, Joo Woo-jae, looking completely dumbfounded, exclaims, “Was the ‘War of Money’ always this big?” as he sets out to defend his emergency fund.
Attention is focused on the upcoming episode to find out why the members came all the way to Lee Seon-min’s house to pull out the “Loyalty Envelope” and what fate awaits it.
“What to Do?” is an open-format variety show featuring laughter, fun, emotion, and no limits from the entertainment industry’s “laugh-rich” stars. It airs on the 11th at 6:30 p.m.
