웃음과 눈물로 맺은 ‘구기동 프렌즈’의 마지막 페이지: 동거가 남긴 진한 여운 > 뉴스

On the last day of the grand finale, at Jang Geun-suk's suggestion, the members invited their close friends and held a special event called the ‘40 Athletics Competition (Ma-Yuk University)’. As friends from all walks of life, including Mirage, Lee Hong-ki, Jeon So-min, and Kim Dae-ho, joined, Gugi-dong House instantly became lively. At first, there was an awkward atmosphere as they were unfamiliar with each other, but when they were divided into Team Lee Da-hee and Team Kyung Soo-jin and started the game in earnest, the scene was filled with a passionate competitive spirit and laughter. In particular, Lee Da-hee, unlike her usual elegant appearance, showed off her sense of entertainment by leading the team's mood with her passionate play without compromising her body. Regardless of victory or defeat, the process of sweating and cheering together became a decisive opportunity for members and friends to unite as one.

The scene that attracted the most attention in this final episode was by far the unintentional ‘lip contact accident’ that occurred between Jang Do-yeon and Kim Dae-ho. This unexpected situation that occurred during the game threw the scene into chaos, embarrassed the cast, and gave viewers a big, unexpected laugh. As Jang Do-yeon covered her mouth and fell down, people around her murmured in real time, “Did they really touch it?” and her colleagues made a mischievous joke, saying, “Isn’t it a kissing gourami?” to tactfully overcome the situation. Even though Jang Do-yeon herself looked embarrassed, she coolly summarized the situation and said, “It wasn’t bad,” showing her professionalism. Afterwards, when Jang Do-yeon bumped into Ahn Jae-hyeon and other physical contact continued, Kim Dae-ho jokingly called it “habitual” and turned the atmosphere of the scene into a pleasant one.

Jang Do-yeon's sincere challenge and growth were hidden behind the entertainment fun. Jang Do-yeon, who is not good at cooking, devoted herself to preparing a hotel-style breakfast for the housemates who took care of her. The sight of her struggling because she was unfamiliar with the kitchen gave the members anxiety, but everyone agreed that her clumsiness itself was a sign of her deep affection for her colleagues. These efforts eventually led to a heart-warming meal on the last day, and the members enjoyed a simple but warm final dinner by making bibimbap using the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator. The time spent waiting and filling each other’s shortcomings through the act of cooking was the part that best demonstrated the ‘value of connection’ that ‘Gugi-dong Friends’ aimed for.

At the end of their lives together, the members read the heartfelt cards they had prepared and shared their sincere feelings that they had not been able to convey before. In particular, Jang Do-yeon confessed to Lee Da-hee that she was deeply touched, saying, “At first, I was worried about the small distance between them, even sharing a bathroom, but I was happy because I could feel your warmth.” Her confession that she felt connected to her friends even when she was alone touched the hearts of many people, and in the end, she was unable to control her emotions and left the room for a moment in tears. These were not just tears for broadcast, but an outpouring of sincere emotions created by the deep bond formed by sharing each other's lives. The members next to each other also expressed their regret and gratitude over the breakup and comforted each other, conveying a calm emotion to the viewers.
