In particular, the reunion of “Yoo-ne” and “Ahn-ne” on a variety show after such a long time is drawing significant attention. Ahn Jung-hwan expressed his delight, saying, “It’s been a while since I’ve ridden in a car driven by Jae-seok hyung,” as he took the passenger seat next to Yoo Jae-suk for the first time in seven years since “Kids These Days.” Meanwhile, the two immediately start bickering as soon as they meet, showcasing their playful chemistry. Yoo Jae-suk approaches Ahn Jung-hwan, who was taking a brief break, and teases him, saying, “You’re a star. You’re a star.” Feeling wronged, Ahn Jung-hwan snaps back, “Hyung! I was standing outside for 20 minutes during the opening. Could you make the opening a little shorter?” (Photo = MBC) In the released photos, a sudden “bench-clearing” between Yoo Jae-suk and Ahn Jung-hwan catches the eye. Yoo Jae-suk dodges Ahn Jung-hwan while launching verbal attacks, and Ahn Jung-hwan responds with reactions that lack any sense of impact. The other members burst into laughter as they overprotectively declare, “Hyung is 100% going to lose!” before Yoo Jae-suk even gets a chance to put up a proper fight. “What Do You Do When You’re Bored?” ranked first in the “September Variety Show Brand Reputation” survey released by the Korea Corporate Reputation Research Institute and won the “Weekend Variety Show of the Year” award at the “2026 Brand of the Year Awards” hosted by the Korea Consumer Brand Committee. “What Do You Do When You’re Bored?” is an open-format variety show featuring laughter, fun, emotion, and no limits from the entertainment industry’s top comedians. It airs on the 12th at 6:30 p.m.
