On the first broadcast of SBS ‘Barefoot Friends‘, the cast members took some time to get to know each other. Ahead of the their first expedition, they filmed a virtual greeting to their fellow teammates, sending them to everyone on the cast list.

Hilariously, nearly everyone who watched Kim Hyun Joong‘s message had only one thing to say. “He’s really good-looking,” said Yoon Si Yoon, Eunhyuk, and Kim Bum Soo.

Kim Hyun Joong had more to say, however. “It’s been a while since I’ve promoted in Korea,” he said. “I think my unique character, which hasn’t been seen in a long time, will bring joy on Sunday nights.”

Perhaps because of his good looks, he ended up getting the most replies from the cast members to his virtual message, ahead of the cast’s departure to Vietnam.

To mark the first episode of the highly-anticipated SBS variety program ‘Barefoot Friends‘, the cast found themselves bound and their eyes covered, being transported to a mysterious location.

When they took off their eye masks, however, they were greeted with a startling sight: miles upon miles of red sand, and a desert landscape as far as the eyes can see.

After they got over their initial shock, they were given the mission to ‘live life as one of the Vietnamese natives’, along with the revelation that they were expected to live on whatever they earned through their new careers.

Although shocked at first, the cast soon warmed up to the premise. “I think it’ll be a trip to remember,” Kang Ho Dong said.

The first recording for upcoming SBS TV variety show ‘Barefoot Friends’ took place earlier this month, where the cast members of Kang Ho Dong, Yoon Jong Shin, Kim Bum Soo, Kim Hyun Joong, Yoon Si Yoon, Yoo Se Yun, Super Junior’s Eunhyuk, and After School’s UEE had an extraordinary first meeting with one another that was different from the norm.
The 8 cast members got to know each other first through a computer. Each member had to record an introductory video about themselves, before sending that video through email to two other members whom they were most curious about.

Reactions from the members after seeing the videos varied greatly, as the production team explained, “The cast members kept lavishing praise on how good looking that one member was after seeing his/her video. Another video however left the members in stitches, with jokes aplenty.”

In contrast to the other members who were able to type swiftly, Kang Ho Dong who was a self-professed computer illiterate was noticeably apprehensive as he typed his email letter by letter, and left everyone in joy just by looking at him.
‘Barefoot Friends will make its debut on April 21st.
