On the October 2 episode of KBS 2TV's variety show "Beat Coin," the cast members were given a task in which they had to contact people they knew and ask to borrow money. Although the actors didn't actually need to borrow any money, the people they approached didn't know that — and in order to succeed, they had to convince their friends and acquaintances to lend them a total of 100 million won (roughly $70,000).
Wooyoung chose to call Nichkhun, and asked him over the phone, “I'm so sorry, hyung, but I'm in desperate need of money right now. Do you think you might be able to lend me some? " Nichkhun asked how much he needed, and at Jo Se Ho's prompting, Wooyoung replied, "50 million won [about $35,000]."
Without asking for any further explanation, Nichkhun immediately agreed, asking, “Where should I send him?” Then, after Wu Yong said that he would send him the details, Nichkhun worriedly asked, “Are you okay, though? You're not in trouble, are you? "
BecauseImpressed by how easily Nichkhun agreed to help him, the other staff members silently urged Woo-young to ask for more money so they could reach their goal of 100 million won.
Wooyoung replied, "I'm not in any trouble, but hyung, is there any chance I can borrow a little more?" Like maybe 20 million won [about $14,000] more? That would be helpful.”
“So 70 million won [about $50,000]?” Nichkhun asked, before laughingly asking, "Wait, you didn't kill someone or anything, did you?"
After thanking Nichkhun profusely and reassuring him that he wasn't in trouble, Wooyoung hung up the call, and Hong Jin Kyung exclaimed, "Awesome, he's so cool."
However, despite his success in the mission, Wu Yong was not completely happy. Worried that Nichkhun trusts people too easily, the 2PM member exclaimed, "Wait, but I'm kinda worried about [him] now. Is [Nichkhun] going to be okay?"
