The MCs show their astonishment and comment, "You endured that pain and got on an airplane?" MC Seo Jang Hoon compliments, "That perseverance, that passion. Along with [your] astonishing perseverance, you also saved foreign currency. [Your] will to not spend money in Japan and get surgery in Korea."
