It was a variety show that gained huge popularity among middle-aged men who liked fishing, or people who liked healing variety shows.
The two actors' witty remarks were also exceptionally outstanding, and since they had been active in the entertainment industry for a long time, they tended to host smoothly no matter what guest came on.
However, that didn't mean there were no guests they shunned.
"Joo Seo-yeon? Who is she?"
"Haven't you seen
"I haven't. It's been over 10 years since I went to a movie theater, what Chaser?"
To those who had no reason to watch movies or dramas, Joo Seo-yeon was a very unfamiliar celebrity.
How would people who only watched variety shows on TV know a star who recently started rising to fame.
"Plus, the guy who appeared with her is so scrawny."
"He's Grandpa's grandson."
"Ah, Ho-seung?"
Anyway, Liam—no, Ho-seung's family also gathered around to watch his first variety show appearance.
On the internet, talks about Joo Seo-yeon appearing as a guest on
- She had two consecutive hits so I knew she'd go on a variety show, but Star Angler???
- Star Angler is decently good though.
- I've never seen a funny moment when a female guest comes out on Star Angler.
- If you watch Uninhabited Survival for Joo Seo-yeon, she's fcking fine.
- She's a chick who catches fish with a harpoon lol.
- Is that the same as sea fishing? Ugh, all the Joo Seo-yeon fanboys gathered here.
Fans who had formed by now, or those who had seen Seo-yeon in
Usually,
However, such thoughts were shattered just 10 minutes after the broadcast.
The moment Joo Seo-yeon started fishing as soon as they went out on the boat.
When the scene of her excitedly putting bait on the fishing rod and casting (swinging the rod while holding the line) came up.
- ?
- Something sounded weird just now.
- This is my first time watching Star Angler, is it normally like that?
- No no no
With a *fwip*, the shot bait pierced through the sea.
If one only heard the sound, they would think someone had fired a gun.
"Heo, hehe, Miss Seo-yeon's posture is good."
"Right? I practiced."
Seo-yeon said triumphantly.
- What do you mean 'Right'
- Am I the only one who thinks that scene just now was weird?
- Yeah, if the fishing rod hit someone, they would have ended up de/ad.
Anyway, although there was a slightly weird aspect, Seo-yeon was a much more likable character than expected.
Her impression was like a young lady of a noble house, so they thought it would be fortunate if she didn't break the flow while fishing.
- Seems like she practiced on her own too.
- Her stamina is good, doing that jerking is fcking hard.
- What's jerking?
- It's shaking the metal jig attached to the float to make it look like a small fish.
But seeing her shaking it nonstop out of excitement, the viewers' arms almost started to ache instead.
- The idol guy is out, who is he?
- I heard he's Thunder Star.
- So who is he?
- Doesn't Joo Seo-yeon get tired? Is this on loop?
If it weren't for the haggard Liam on the opposite side, they would have mistaken it for a loop.
Seo-yeon's figure of eagerly swinging her arm conveyed her excited feeling beyond the screen.
"Miss Seo-yeon? Should I give you my hat?"
"No, I'm fine. Sunlight can't do anything to me."
At that spirited voice, Lee Sang-soo made a bewildered expression.
Because it was a completely unexpected answer.
- Is Joo Seo-yeon maybe from the 4th dimension?
- lololol wtf is that a movie line?
- I doubted my ears for a moment, is that what a female actress should say?
- 'The sun can't do anything to me' isn't that what a vampire who overcame the sun would say?
As such trivial conversations went back and forth, about 10 minutes passed.
A fish bit Seo-yeon's float.
At actor Lee Sang-soo's request to slowly reel in, Seo-yeon carefully moved her arm and began to reel in.
Creak, creak.
"It feels like it's going to break?"
"It won't break, it won't break. That fishing rod is extremely expensive. It's sturdy, so it definitely won't break, it's fine."
At Lee Sang-soo's words, Seo-yeon reeled in even harder.
Until then, no one knew what was caught.
That was because to say something big was caught, Seo-yeon was far too nonchalant.
Then, Seo-yeon began to pull the taut fishing rod.
The fishing rod bent suspiciously large, but Seo-yeon didn't show any particular sign of struggle.
- Looks like a sea bream? If it's Wando.
- Sea bream lol An actress like that would absolutely be dragged around by a sea bream.
- No no, if you have the knack that won't happen.
- If it's a fishing beginner, that can happen yeah.
Around the time everyone expected a roughly 30-40cm sea bream.
The camera suddenly started shaking.
"E-Everyone, help Miss Seo-yeon!!"
PD Jung Seung-hyun, who was observing the sea, shouted that.
The camera turned toward the sea, and a loud noise began to be heard.
It was an urgent situation to anyone.
- What is it?
- What kind of fish is that? Seems kind of big?
When the camera first turned toward the sea, the viewers also didn't realize what was going on.
That was because the fish was still beneath the sea, making its appearance unclear.
"Miss Seo-yeon! Let, let out the line... no, if it's dangerous, don't force the fishing rod!!"
PD Jung Seung-hyun, who usually made cheeky remarks and teased the guests, jumped up and said that.
He gestured to the others to help, but.
"It's okay! I'm stronger!"
At that brave shout, everyone froze.
- Is she really a crazy bitch
- I'm stronger lololol
- Being strong isn't the problem, it's dangerous!!!!!!!!!
- Is this a variety show where you fight fish?
As the bending rod, which looked like it would break, moved, the fish could be seen being dragged along.
A spectacle that made one wonder, 'Does this make sense?'
As its face became visible, the community's reactions gradually began to intensify.
And for good reason.
- Isn't that a Red Steenbras??? The size is insane???
- What's a Red Steenbras?
- Wow fck you don't know Red Steenbras? That fish grows up to 2 meters when it's big;;
- Only dozens are caught a year, and some people dream of catching that yeah
- It weighs over 100kg, how is she holding that fishing rod by herself??
- Maybe because it's still in the water??
Red Steenbras.
A fish species that originally lives in the deep sea.
It only comes up between May and July during the spawning season, and that's usually the timing when it's caught by fishing.
Naturally, catching it required heavenly luck.
A fish so rare that there wasn't even proper footage of it being caught on broadcasts hosted by experts, was caught on a cable variety show of all things.
- Crazy
- It's being caught on a variety show
- No, more than that, is she pulling that by herself right now?
- The guests next to her are helping
- Help? Are they even helping?????
Anyway, the fishing rod of Seo-yeon, who was vigorously pulling the rod and reeling in, creaked and seemed like it would break at any moment.
While Seo-yeon was eagerly pulling up the Red Steenbras with the fishing rod, the others brought other tools and came holding huge nets to support it, but the Red Steenbras was so big that it wasn't as easy as it sounded.
- First time watching Star Angler, wasn't it a healing variety show?
- Is this The Old Man and the Sea?
The broadcast captured the struggling appearances of the Red Steenbras.
And.
"Yap!!"
- Yap?
Along with Seo-yeon's sprightly voice, the Red Steenbras flew up with a whoosh!
"Huh?"
While everyone was bewildered, the Red Steenbras fell onto the deck with a thud!!
The people were greatly panicked by the giant fish that suddenly flew in, and only shook the innocent net in vain.
- Wow crazy
- Isn't that dangerous?
- It's huge so its strength is no joke??;;;
Just as everyone was approaching to catch the thrashing Red Steenbras.
Holding the half-broken fishing rod, Seo-yeon briefly glanced around.
Perhaps feeling secretly concerned because he said it was an expensive fishing rod, she quietly tossed it out of sight and then headed to where the thrashing Red Steenbras was.
She squeezed through the crowd of scurrying people.
Seo-yeon's hand, which had subtly approached, moved and slammed a fist into the Red Steenbras' head.
That sight was only caught very vaguely on camera.
Thwack, thud.
The Red Steenbras' eyes rolled over and it went limp.
"Oh! Looks like it's exhausted!"
"No matter how big they are, they're helpless once they're out of the water."
Of course, the people who were frantically subduing the Red Steenbras didn't seem to know that fact.
- What? Why did the Red Steenbras faint all of a sudden?
- Didn't Joo Seo-yeon just punch it?
- Is Red Steenbras a fish that faints when you punch it?
- But is it fainted, it looks dead
Even the viewers who saw it vaguely captured on screen didn't think the Red Steenbras fainted from Seo-yeon's punch. They just thought, 'Ah, it's exhausted, there must be some other reason.'
"Wow! It's a Red Steenbras, a Red Steenbras!!"
"Catching this was my lifetime wish, and I'm catching it like this."
"Daebak. The match is already over with this. Wow, really."
Since the first fish caught was a Red Steenbras, the match effectively became meaningless.
Lee Sang-soo and Song Kwang-min, whose hobby was fishing, couldn't hide their excitement.
"Is it okay if I hug it?"
At Seo-yeon's words, everyone nodded.
"Ah, of course, come on, we'll all hold it together……."
Lee Sang-soo said with a smile toward Seo-yeon.
An actress who caught a Red Steenbras.
The world couldn't look so pretty.
Seo-yeon wanted to hold it up by herself, but even so, she was mindful of the others' gazes.
They all caught it together, so hogging it alone was a bit.
Like that, a photo was taken too.
Everyone smiled brightly as they took the picture, and with a thud, Seo-yeon dropped the Red Steenbras she was holding.
At that sight, Liam swallowed dry saliva.
'Didn't they say that's over 100kg?'
They all said they'd hold it, but even so, wasn't Seo-yeon lifting and moving it too easily?
It was enough to raise such doubts. And Liam saw it.
'Clearly…… it looked like she slugged the Red Steenbras' head with her fist…….'
Everyone was too distracted to notice, but Liam, who had awkwardly stepped back, saw it clearly.
The Red Steenbras going limp the moment it was struck by Seo-yeon's fist.
'…….'
The Red Steenbras' size was 170cm. Considering that weight, it was a fish in a larger weight class than even Liam.
I shouldn't mess with her.
Liam inwardly thought so.
Right after catching the Red Steenbras like that, just as they were about to each share their tale of bravery.
"Are we going to eat spicy stew with the fish we caught now?"
"Pardon?"
"I usually see people making something like spicy stew when they catch fish."
Seo-yeon said with a face that was rarely so excited.
- No.
- Who makes spicy stew out of a Red Steenbras
- Please don't do that
- Hey you crazy bitch!!!!!!!!!!! Please stop!!!!!!!!
- Spare the Red Steenbras...
It was a remark that would make anyone with expertise in fishing have a seizure.
However, Lee Sang-soo and Song Kwang-min exchanged glances.
The person who caught it was saying so, what could they do.
Also, considering it was an actress who caught the Red Steenbras, it looked so pretty that they wanted to listen to even one more word she said.
"It's this big…… so a little bit should be fine."
"But where do we cut this from? I've never even seen a proper video of this Red Steenbras either."
Everyone moved busily.
Some shed tears and tried to stop them, but what could they do when the two veteran actors were quietly following Seo-yeon's words.
Like that,
