Ch.267Are you rich? You don’t look like it.

<Ja Dokkiri> was a long-running program that set up hidden camera pranks on famous celebrities.

They were always thorough with accident prevention for any potential situations.

The more famous the target was,

The easier it was to just capture their surprised reactions.

The setups were obvious enough that anyone could tell it was a hidden camera prank,

But they aimed for extremely shocking and unfamiliar experiences.

When setting up, they removed all props that could cause injuries.

But of course…

“W-what is that! How did he tear it off! That’s not even a prop!”

The radio booth door wasn’t a prop.

How could it be a prop in the first place?

“How is that even possible!”

Radio booth doors are heavier than regular doors.

They need to be soundproof.

Thick, heavy, with hinges tightly secured due to the weight.

Yet he just grabbed the top part, made a cracking sound, and tore it off?

How strong would someone need to be to do something like that?

And the shock didn’t end there.

“Come in one by one.”

Kim Donghu, speaking fluent Japanese,

Grabbed the radio booth door handle backward,

And held it against his body like a shield.

As the situation unfolded this way.

“Eh?”

“What the…”

“T-this looks too dangerous…”

Ironically, the ghost samurai actors were extremely flustered.

The expected reactions from a hidden camera prank weren’t happening.

Why were they the ones being threatened instead?

Some of them were genuinely scared, their hands trembling.

It was approaching the level of a broadcasting accident.

But.

“This reaction looks like it’s going to be amazing!”

The <Ja Dokkiri> PD’s eyes sparkled.

“Really? Are you serious?”

“Of course! The target is Kim Donghu after all. He’s a broadcasting veteran. Do you think someone like that would genuinely react like this without knowing anything?”

The reason why scripted games and professional wrestling are entertaining despite everyone knowing they’re staged?

Because they’re still fun to watch even when you know!

In the end, entertainment’s most important core is fun.

And in that aspect, the current situation had the highest potential.

“A famous Korean actor and top boxer tearing off a radio booth door and fighting ghost samurai!”

Just reading that sentence makes you curious.

Would they treat this situation as an NG and just move on?

That was absolutely impossible.

“Match his acting perfectly. Notice how he’s not attacking first? There’s a reason for that.”

The meticulous approach of not moving first to match the rhythm.

The <Ja Dokkiri> PD admired Kim Donghu’s judgment and continued giving instructions.

“Understood.”

The ghost samurai leader whispered into his radio, then:

“All troops! Form ranks and slowly surround him!”

He smoothly continued the situation according to instructions.

It suddenly felt like a battle scene.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaah!”

Chisako’s scream fortunately maintained the hidden camera prank’s premise.

And meanwhile:

“I can’t take all of you on… But I’ll definitely kill the first three who come in before I go.”

Kim Donghu thoroughly continued his acting.

Seeing this, the ghost samurai actors thought:

‘No, you look like you could kill all of us?’

Barely holding back their objections:

‘Hey, go figure out how we should continue this situation.’

‘How?’

‘Just yell and charge at him.’

‘Hai!’

They sent one subordinate charging forward.

“Hiyaaaaaaah!”

“You’re coming!”

Kim Donghu, speaking in an old-fashioned dialect, first gently put down the radio booth door to avoid injuries.

He smoothly grabbed the subordinate, took his sword, and gently spun him around.

“A-aikido?! Donghu-san knows aikido too?!”

A technique utilizing balance of power and movement principles.

After rotating the subordinate’s body,

Kim Donghu once again gently placed him on the floor to avoid injury.

“Huh!”

When the subordinate regained his senses:

‘My sword… it’s gone?’

His sword had been taken.

Giving a sword to Musashi?

How dangerous could this get?

While everyone was staring at Musashi, or rather Kim Donghu,

He skillfully:

“Was it… like this?”

Demonstrated a tsubamegaeshi technique.

Crack!

The cheap prop sword bent immediately.

“No matter how cheap it is… did he just bend plastic using the recoil?”

An unbelievable situation.

And it was time to wrap things up.

How would Kim Donghu end this?

While everyone was waiting for his decision:

“But if I have a shield, it doesn’t matter.”

Kim Donghu deliberately muttered loudly,

Holding the radio booth door in one hand and the bent sword in the other.

“If you won’t come to me, I’ll come to you.”

He charged straight at the ghost samurai actors.

“Retreat! Retreat! Ending here will make for a perfect shot!”

It was a moment when the hidden camera prank succeeded in a different way.

++++++

During <Ja Dokkiri>’s broadcast time.

The PD suddenly checked Twitter.

【 Is it true Kim Donghu is doing a hidden camera prank? So excited! 】

【 Why do Korean celebrities keep appearing on Japanese variety shows? 】

【 Because of Japan’s greatness 】

【 When the appearance fee is 10 times different, it’s impressive they show up 】

【 ㄴJapan pays 10 times more? As expected, there’s a difference 】

【 ㄴI meant Korea pays more, what are you talking about? 】

【 Seems like he’s appearing because of the Musashi controversy, think this will solve anything? Laughable www 】

Since it was broadcast-related news,

Kim Donghu’s fans were visible, but negative opinions still remained.

‘But that’s only until today.’

More precisely, until the <Ja Dokkiri> broadcast.

In reality, the atmosphere inside the set was already very positive.

“Is Kim Donghu-san really appearing?”

“I’m so excited! I wonder if we can get his autograph?”

“No, he’s not coming here in person, he’s just appearing in the video.”

“Ah! I wish I could have participated in the prank too, I want to see his surprised face!”

At this point, Kim Donghu wasn’t just a famous star from a neighboring country.

Objectively speaking, he was at world star level.

Someone of that status being pranked with a hidden camera?

Of course people would be excited.

The panelists focused intently with obvious excitement when the video started.

“That’s Chisako-chan next to him.”

“I heard they filmed Musashi together, so they must be really close.”

To maintain interest during the boring parts,

The panelists actively continued their talk.

Soon the hidden camera situation arrived.

Thud!

-“Huh?”

The corridor suddenly going dark.

And then:

-“Woaaaaaaah!”

Ghost samurai appearing simultaneously.

Until this point, the panelists naturally expected Kim Donghu to be surprised.

But:

-“Kyaaaaaaaaaah!”

The one who actually screamed was Chisako, who knew about the hidden camera.

Meanwhile, the prank target looked around and:

Crack!

Tore off the radio booth door.

“Eh?”

“What.”

“…W-wait, what was that?!”

The panelists’ jaws dropped at the impossible sight of a person tearing off a radio booth door.

Viewers watching this live also had their eyes wide open.

【 Is he even human? 】

【 Wait wait wait is this real? 】

【 Was Musashi actually a monster? 】

【 Hold on, what did he just do? Did he spin someone around and take their sword? 】

【 How is that even possible! 】

【 Is Japan currently being conquered by one Kim Donghu! 】

【 You’re saying we should be careful of one actor? 】

【 Yes, actor Kim Donghu is dangerous 】

A radio booth door weighs at least 20kg.

Yet he just picked it up and ran with it?

The panelists finally realized:

“T-Tarzan…”

“Champ…”

What roles he had played and

What achievements he had accomplished.

Naturally, as a result:

【 Even in a hidden camera prank, Kim Donghu overcomes it stylishly 】

【 They must have told him about the prank beforehand 】

【 Obviously, if this were a real situation, he would have beaten everyone up to protect Chisako 】

【 Against what, 13 entertainment staff? Kim Donghu would annihilate them 】

【 Tearing off a door and hiding Chisako behind him… so cool 】

【 Kim Donghu, truly the strongest on Earth! 】

【 This is seriously too cool! I have to acknowledge it! 】

Public opinion reversed instantly.

What impressed the Japanese public most was:

【 Even knowing it’s entertainment, he gives it his all! Kim Donghu is the best at fan service! 】

The fact that he didn’t hold back and gave his best effort.

Usually, stars of Kim Donghu’s caliber might just go through the motions.

Everyone was moved by his obvious dedication.

Naturally, Kim Donghu’s hidden camera video quickly spread worldwide.

And some people twitched at the phrase “strongest on Earth.”

Specifically, it disturbed the UFC Heavyweight Champion.

【 I understand he’s strong and good at boxing, but he wouldn’t stand a chance in mixed martial arts 】

【 If you want to dispute this, prove it with skill 】

Perhaps because it was a statement from an influential fighter,

The signal fired from a Japanese variety show prank created quite a butterfly effect.

The whole world waited to see how Kim Donghu would respond.

【 I can prove it, but are you rich? You don’t look like it 】

Kim Donghu immediately satisfied people’s expectations.

The difference in fight money between boxing and MMA organizations is about 10 times.

In Kim Donghu’s case, it could be up to 20 times.

‘If you can’t prepare proper fight money, don’t talk big.’

To Kim Donghu’s implied tweet:

“…”

The UFC Heavyweight fighter couldn’t say anything.

+++++

They say fate is always changing.

Just as no one knows when they’ll die.

“…Can you prepare the fight money? Enough to match Kim Donghu’s rate.”

A new rough wave was preparing to move.
