Lee Ik-kyung's Determination Shines on 'How Do You Play?'

In the latest episode of MBC's variety show How Do You Play? (놀면 뭐하니?), which aired on January 25, 2025, Lee Ik-kyung's dedication was highlighted during the Winter Song MT segment. The episode featured a heartwarming gift exchange among the cast. KCM, known for his love of fishing, brought a variety of fresh fish, including sea bream and yellowtail, to share. Amidst mixed reactions to the gifts, Lee Ik-kyung humorously remarked, "How precious is this? Give it to me!" showcasing his social skills.

The youngest member, Seung-heon, embraced the MZ generation spirit by gifting Yoo Jae-suk with keychains and limited-edition merchandise t-shirts. Ha Ha playfully pointed out Seung-heon's ambitions, adding to the laughter.

Yoo Jae-suk's gift drew everyone's curiosity, with comments like "It really came" and "A big one is here." Although Yoo Jae-suk tried to temper expectations by saying, "It's a tumbler," Lee Ik-kyung joked, "It might be gold-plated!"

During the gift reveal, Yoo Jae-suk described the recipient as someone who is "weak enough to need an IV and has a subtle affection deficiency." This led to Lee Ik-kyung eagerly standing up, and as expected, he was the recipient of Yoo Jae-suk's gift. Park Jin-joo expressed her envy, exclaiming, "Ik-kyung, you did it!"

Overjoyed, Lee Ik-kyung lifted Yoo Jae-suk in a princess carry, but Yoo Jae-suk expressed concern, saying, "Even though Ik-kyung is strong enough to do this, he still needs an IV and has affection issues." He emphasized the importance of resting and staying healthy, adding a warm touch to the moment.
