"From Ramen Mukbang to Eye Quake"... Kim Jaewon of '1 Night 2 Days' Adapts to the Harsh Conditions as a Variety Show Rookie

Actor Kim Jaewon has risen as a promising figure in variety shows by undergoing a rigorous outdoor variety initiation in KBS2's flagship program '1 Night 2 Days Season 4'. The episode aired on the 25th was themed '2026 Cold Weather Camp', depicting the members' survival in a vast wilderness.

Upon arrival, Kim Jaewon caused laughter with a real 'eye quake' as he faced the unfamiliar environment. However, he quickly adapted to the scene by actively participating in building the base camp while wearing cold weather gear. In particular, during the jump rope mission, he showcased stable skills, and during the dinner luck-of-the-draw mission, he displayed a contrasting burning competitive spirit with his body not cooperating, revealing his unexpected charm.

On that day, Kim Jaewon's pure charm shone even during meal times. While eating ramen prepared by his older brothers, he exclaimed, "This is the best ramen I've ever had," and despite his hat slipping down and obstructing his view, he focused on the mukbang, making viewers smile with his quirky demeanor.

Having to leave early due to personal commitments, Kim Jaewon shared heartfelt thoughts, saying, "It felt like I was at a training camp after a long time, and I created precious memories that will be beautified despite the hardships. I feel like we became a family in just one day," adding warmth to the atmosphere. With his genuine passion and human charm, expectations are high for Kim Jaewon's future activities in variety shows.
