Im Ji-yoo and Park Jin-joo Bid Farewell to 'Hangout with Yoo' with Laughter

On June 1, 2025, the popular MBC variety show Hangout with Yoo (놀면 뭐하니?) aired its final episode featuring Im Ji-yoo (이미주) and Park Jin-joo (박진주) as they prepared to leave the program. The two stars maintained a cheerful demeanor throughout the episode, despite their departure being previously announced. To celebrate their time on the show, the production team organized a grand event, offering a mission with a reward of 'pure gold rice' valued at approximately 2 million won.

The challenge involved a food tour of three restaurants within three hours, with the 'Juju Sisters' set to receive the coveted gold rice if they succeeded. The first task was a group jump rope challenge, where the previous record was 18 jumps. Park Jin-joo expressed her apprehension, citing past failures due to stamina issues. However, this time, with determination, both she and Im Ji-yoo succeeded, impressing their fellow cast members.

The next mission took place at a Korean buffet, where they had to quickly fill their plates with side dishes in just 30 seconds, leading to a humorous scene of rushed eating. The second restaurant posed another challenge, as they had to find a dish from a photo and eat it within a time limit. After some confusion and ordering over ten dishes, they finally managed to enjoy the meal.

The final stop was a dessert place known for its reinterpretation of Swedish traditional cakes. With only five minutes left, the cast quickly devoured the cake, completing their mission successfully.

In a heartwarming moment, all the members, including Yoo Jae-suk (유재석) and Ha Ha (하하), decided to share their gold rice with Im Ji-yoo and Park Jin-joo. Despite the bittersweet farewell, the 'Juju Sisters' remained upbeat, with Park Jin-joo humorously stating, "This isn't a permanent goodbye; we'll be under the same sky," while Im Ji-yoo joked about having four children in the future, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere.
