Chungju Mayor Cho Gil Hyung was caught off guard during a recent appearance on the Psick University quiz show. when he received an unexpected gift: a varsity jacket from Psick University. The mayor’s initial delight quickly turned to apprehension as he learned the jacket’s hefty price tag of 169,000 won.
The sudden realization of the jacket’s value caused Mayor Cho to visibly break into a sweat. Recognizing the potential implications of accepting such a costly gift, the mayor swiftly removed the jacket and placed it down.
Upon entering the waiting room, the PD of Psick University presented Mayor Cho, his entourage, and Director Kim with varsity jackets as souvenirs from the show. Overjoyed, Mayor Cho donned the jacket immediately and proceeded to the filming area.
However, Lee Yong-ju revealed the jacket’s price of 169,000 won, causing Mayor Cho to abruptly remove the jacket and place it aside, much to the amusement of the onlookers.
Director Kim, who had not received a jacket, gestured with his hand and clarified, “As you can see in the video, I didn’t wear it. I’ve never even received one.” He surmised that the mayor’s hasty acceptance was likely a misunderstanding.
