Jang Dong-min Declines 35-Meter Aerial Cafe Ride on Dokbak Tour
Refusing a 35-meter airborne cafe ride in Vietnam, comedian Jang Dong-min sparked a string of public teasing on November 14 that left fellow cast member Kim Jun-ho isolated during a travel shoot.
The incident occurred during the filming of channelS’ program “Niga Naera! Dokbak Tour,” where cast members Kim Dae-hee, Kim Jun-ho, Jang Dong-min, Yoo Se-yoon, and Hong In-gyu traveled to Da Nang, sportschosun reported.
The group arrived at an ocean-view destination introduced by Hong, which turned out to be an aerial cafe near My Khe Beach that lifts guests up to 35 meters into the air like a hot air balloon. Upon seeing the setup, Jang declared he would not board, shouting, “No… I’m not going!”
Yoo spotted people surfing nearby and asked to separate from the group. “Can I go surfing by myself?” Yoo asked, as reported by sportschosun. Yoo spent the session riding waves alone while the other four members boarded the aerial cafe.
Left behind with the remaining cast, Kim Jun-ho expressed frustration over Yoo’s departure. “He didn’t even say a single word like ‘let’s go together,’” Kim Jun-ho said, according to sportschosun. Jang joked, “Because it’s embarrassing to go with you, hyung.”
Hong joined the teasing by pointing out that Yoo had invited Kim Jun-ho to exercise together that morning. “That was to get motivation by looking at your body,” Hong said, as sportschosun reported. Kim Dae-hee added to the remarks by suggesting the invitation meant, “So that I don’t end up like that?”
Once the four members boarded the aerial structure and it began to ascend, panic set in among them. Shouting broke out as passengers called out, “Yikes! This is too fast,” and “It’s even scarier because there is no footrest,” according to sportschosun. Hong, who originally recommended the location, offered an apology to the group by stating, “I didn’t know it would be to this extent either.”
Meanwhile, Yoo enjoyed a relaxed surfing session that drew envy from the group on the platform. Watching from above, Hong remarked, “He’s acting cool because there are Europeans next to us. But he is different from us. He’s cool,” sportschosun reported. Kim Jun-ho expressed lingering bitterness about their public portrayal, saying, “We are going to look like cowards on broadcast, but Yoo Se-yoon will come out looking cool again, right?”
