Lee Kwang-soo Buys a Monkey Mask with Tight Funds: I'm Also 40 (Kong Kong Pang Pang)

Lee Kwang-soo expressed frustration over the low-quality mask he purchased during a recent trip. The incident was captured on the tvN show HappinessFang Overseas Tour, which aired on the 24th, showcasing Lee's long-awaited visit to a traditional Mexican professional wrestling match.

The tour group, after dinner, made their way to a stadium where they witnessed a live wrestling event. As the crowd roared and the atmosphere grew intense, Lee Kwang-soo shared his excitement. "I guess I'm going on a package trip to watch wrestling. This is a must-do experience," he said. "I had been looking forward to it for a long time."

During the trip, Lee Kwang-soo stopped at various souvenir shops selling traditional wrestling masks. He became particularly interested in a fancy one but was disappointed by the price—25,000 won. When Kim Woo-bin suggested skipping the purchase, Lee reacted with surprise, saying, "Can't even spend this much?" while smiling.

Despite the high cost, Lee was determined to buy a mask. However, as time ran out, he ended up purchasing the cheapest option available. Upon returning to the hotel, he expressed his disappointment, stating, "I asked for the cheapest one, and they gave it to me. I'm 40 years old, so how do I use this?" His comment sparked laughter among the group.

Wearing the cheap mask, Lee’s appearance drew amusement from others. He joked, "My self-esteem has taken a hit. The little one is wearing a better mask than I am." He added with an envious smile, "I wish I had that one."

Meanwhile, Do Kyung-soo, who was waiting for Lee, admitted to being relieved when the ticket booth closed. "When the closing time came, I hoped he wouldn’t be able to see it," he said, laughing. "I’m happier knowing he regrets it."
