Shocking reunion: The viral kings behind web variety 'Pinggogo'—Kim Nam-gil, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Ju Ji-hoon—are teaming up with Yoo Jae-suk once again.
Recently, YouTube channel DdeunDdeun unveiled the schedule for its summer vacation special project, the '2026 Summer Road Series'. Rolling out across July and August, the lineup promises a wave of cool laughs to beat the heat.
The revealed slate includes 'Pinggogo' episodes featuring past Grand Prize winners Hwang Jung-min and Lee Dong-wook, plus brand-new spin-offs 'Wanna Grab Ramen?' and 'Poonghyang Middle'. 'Poonghyang Middle' spins off from the hit travel content 'Poonghyang High', pivoting to domestic trips, with the first episode dropping at 9 a.m. on August 1.
The undeniable headliner is 'Wanna Grab Ramen?'. This show follows Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Nam-gil, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Ju Ji-hoon on a whirlwind day trip built around roadside ramen mukbangs. The four previously lit up the 'Pinggogo' 100th-episode special with nonstop banter, a segment that exploded past 13 million views in about a month.
This spin-off reportedly sprang from a single spark: Kim Nam-gil saying, "I want to try doing a YouTube show where we eat ramen." Under the concept of a same-day trip using ramen as the perfect excuse, Yoo Jae-suk and Yoon Kyung-ho hit the road by car, while Kim Nam-gil and Ju Ji-hoon rev up their bikes.
On the move, the quartet chooses each next stop on the fly, crafting an unpredictable ramen tour. The chatter never dies down—whether they're cruising between locations or slurping noodles—and their quick-fire back-and-forth reportedly never lets up. Anticipation is high to see what fresh chaos this fan-favorite combo—often dubbed 'Korea’s Top 3 Chattiest Actors' Kim Nam-gil, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Ju Ji-hoon—will create alongside Yoo Jae-suk.
Meanwhile, 'Wanna Grab Ramen?' will be released in two episodes, dropping at 9 a.m. on the 11th and 18th.
