'Handsome Guys', BTS Jin effect properly... 2049 target viewership ratings 1st place in same time slot [Comprehensive]
[OSEN=Reporter Yoo Su-yeon] 'Handsome Guys on Sundays' created a huge sensation in its first episode with the unique bingo game of finding Korean cultural heritage while traveling around Gyeongsangnam-do, with the active participation of the five passionate brothers and BTS Jin, a guest who went one step further than the regulars.
tvN's 'Handsome Guys on Sunday' (directed by Ryu Ho-jin and Yoon In-hoe, hereinafter referred to as 'Handsome Guys') is a Sunday variety show that seeks out cultural heritages and materials representing South Korea. In the first episode, Cha Tae-hyun, Kim Dong-hyun, and Shin Seung-ho as 'Team Guys', and Lee Yi-kyung and Oh Sang-wook as 'Team Handsome' with BTS' Jin joining as a guest, compete in a bingo match to find national heritages in the Gyeongsangnam-do region.
The first episode showed the scene of the five members of 'Handsome Guys' meeting for the first time in Busan at 7 AM. Cha Tae-hyun grumbled, "Asking us to come to Busan this early is the old way. They don't do it like this these days," but when Oh Sang-wook appeared, he cheered, saying, "People these days." Soon after, Kim Dong-hyun, Oh Sang-wook, Shin Seung-ho, and Lee Yi-kyung gathered, and a commotion broke out over the program's title, "Handsome Guys." Shin Seung-ho checked twice and three times and made everyone laugh by making everyone serious. Soon after, when the first guest, BTS's Jin, appeared, Oh Sang-wook cheered, saying, "That makes sense," and the other members made everyone burst into laughter with their meta-awareness, saying, "We are the Guys." Jin raised expectations by foreshadowing his passionate side from his first appearance, saying, "For now, I haven't set any plans for after this program."
On this day, the long-awaited first topic of 'Handsome Guys' was 'Gyeongsangnam-do's National Heritage'. For the bingo game, they were divided into two teams of three, 'Handsome' and 'Guys', and visited nine locations including Busan's national treasure 'Donggwoldo', Changnyeong's treasure 'Gwanryongsa', Haman's world heritage site 'Mali Mountain Tombs', and Changnyeong's natural monument 'Upo Marsh', answering quizzes and the first team to complete the bingo was the winner and could go home right away. The members each came up with their own strategies, and when Cha Tae-hyun said, "We have to occupy the middle first," he stood out as the 'Chagal Gongmyeong' of 'Handsome Guys' with the compliment of "strategic".
The teams the members were in were revealed right away, causing mixed emotions. Shin Seung-ho, one of the youngest members of 'Handsome Guys', answered the question, "Who do you want to be on a team with the most?" by saying, "I haven't decided who I want to be on a team with yet," but added, "But there's someone I think I shouldn't be on a team with. It's Dong-hyun hyung. Everything we talked about before filming was a lie. It was all exposed," causing laughter. It turned out that Kim Dong-hyun had confused Shin Seung-ho's position as a former soccer player. Kim Dong-hyun complained, "It's not a lie," but Shin Seung-ho's appearance of not clearing up the misunderstanding until the end brought laughter. After that, the production team revealed the teams, and when the 'Handsome' team was revealed to be Lee Yi-kyung, Jin, and Oh Sang-wook, and the 'Guys' team was revealed to be Cha Tae-hyun, Shin Seung-ho, and Kim Dong-hyun, Shin Seung-ho immediately changed into positive mode as if he was making a self-suggestion, causing laughter once again.

The mixed emotions lasted for a while, but Oh Sang-wook proved that he was a 'clumsy hand' by picking out useless cards from the 6 'random chance cards' prepared by the production team. Jin's face darkened when he saw the card that Oh Sang-wook picked, which was a 'free car wash coupon' that had to be used before completing the bingo. Oh Sang-wook panicked and said, "I used up all my luck in Paris. This is too bad," but Jin responded with a mature air, saying, "It's okay, it's okay." Meanwhile, Shin Seung-ho made everyone laugh by looking serious at the card that Kim Dong-hyun picked. Lee Yi-kyung suggested that they exchange the last two cards for Kim Dong-hyun, but Lee Yi-kyung had a quiz re-challenge coupon, and Kim Dong-hyun had a mission to buy a cake and give it to a citizen whose birthday was this week. Shin Seung-ho immediately made a blank expression, and Kim Dong-hyun was at a loss as he watched the situation.
Meanwhile, the 'Handsome' team arrived at the first museum in Busan where the 'Donggwoldo' is located and took on a quiz. The 'Donggwoldo', a national treasure of Korea, is a 16-panel folding screen produced in the early 1800s that depicts the entire palace east of Gyeongbokgung Palace. It was surprising because even the smallest places and objects within the palace were depicted, and Lee Yi-kyung expressed confidence, saying, "I think I can guess them all," but he was at a loss when the production team quizzed him, "What season is it in the 'Donggwoldo'?" At that moment, Jin pointed to a flower painting in the 'Donggwoldo' and said, "There are cherry blossoms here. It's spring." It was actually peach blossoms, but the answer, just as Jin had guessed, was spring, drawing cheers.
At that time, the 'Guys' team headed to Yangsan 'Tongdosa Geumganggyedan'. The 'Guys' team, who felt a strong sense of betrayal by the 'Handsome' team from the start, said angrily, "I knew you'd do gangster things from the beginning. I didn't believe it, but it seemed like it would happen," and made everyone laugh. The lies they told each other during a phone call to spy on each other were rampant. Then, upon arriving at 'Tongdosa Geumganggyedan', Shin Seung-ho showed his burning passion. At 'Tongdosa', where the actual relics of the Buddha are kept, Shin Seung-ho went beyond listening to the monk's explanation and continued to memorize it endlessly while walking around the temple. However, the production team's quiz was a twist. When the production team teased, "There is a jar under every eaves of the pavilion," Shin Seung-ho excitedly said, "The monk didn't tell me," and made everyone laugh. After the 'Guys' team, including Shin Seung-ho, calmed down a bit, the production team quizzed them, "This was placed in the pavilion to prevent fire and ensure peace for the year, but what does this mean that 'seawater prevents fire'?" Cha Tae-hyun blurted out, "Seawater prevents fire? Then it's salt water?" Kim Dong-hyun, who has a Korean history certificate, confidently answered, "It's salt."
