Kim Sook and Choi Yeo-jin compare 3 types of tents at luxury Gapyeong estate

Comedian Kim Sook visited actress Choi Yeo-jin's home in Gapyeong to personally set up and compare three different types of camping tents, highlighting the unique features and performance of each product. From a convenient sunshade tent in the 200,000 won range to an air tent in the 1,000,000 won range, she showcased her expertise as a camping enthusiast by experiencing products with vastly different prices and structures.

On the 24th, Kim Sook released a video titled 'Tent-Misae Gapyeong Pitching Day' on her YouTube channel 'KimSookTV'. On this day, she visited Choi's Gapyeong residence with camping expert Park Eun-hye to pitch the tents they had recently purchased.

Choi's Gapyeong house, revealed ahead of the full-scale camping, also drew significant attention. A large swimming pool was prepared in front of the house, and the interior utilized high ceilings and long curtains to create a sense of openness and a sophisticated atmosphere. In particular, the spacious yard provided enough room to set up several types of tents simultaneously.

Kim Sook explained that she visited Gapyeong for this pitching session because she had not yet properly set up two of the tents she recently purchased. The products prepared were the 'Alpen Outdoors Hexa Sunshade Tent' and the 'HEIMPLANET Cave Tent,' with Park Eun-hye joining as a pitching mate to assist with the setup.

The first product unboxed was the Alpen Outdoors Hexa Sunshade Tent purchased from Japan. As it was the first time setting up this product, some trial and error was expected, but Kim, who is accustomed to one-touch methods, skillfully established the structure and finished pitching in about 5 minutes.

Park, who is more accustomed to traditional tent installation methods, actually had difficulty adapting to the one-touch structure. The completed tent secured a wide interior space capable of accommodating up to 4 people and featured sunshade functionality, making it a suitable configuration for summer outdoor activities.

In particular, the speed of dismantling was overwhelming. The time taken to fold and organize the installed tent was approximately 12 seconds. Kim highly praised the product for its ease of setup and dismantling, as well as its sunshade performance, given its price in the 200,000 won range, expressing great satisfaction for summer camping.

As Choi brought out watermelon juice that she had prepared herself, the three took a brief rest inside the completed tent. This scene went beyond a simple product test to confirm the usability in an actual camping situation.

In the second pitching session, the nature of the products changed significantly. Kim took charge of the HEIMPLANET Cave Tent, while Park handled the OLDSHELTER Netts Tent.

The HEIMPLANET Cave Tent is an air tent that builds its structure by injecting air. It is characterized by its fast installation speed, with the air poles standing up in about 1 minute once air is injected using a pump. However, during the initial use process, separate setup was required, such as laying down a ground sheet and combining the tent skin with the air poles, so it took about 30 minutes to complete on this day.

Conversely, it was introduced as having the advantage of being able to pitch in about 1 minute just by injecting air once the initial setup is complete. The price is in the mid-1,000,000 won range, and although it is relatively expensive, it caught Kim's interest with its sturdy structure and unique design.

The OLDSHELTER Netts Tent chosen by Park was introduced as a product that can be installed in about 10 minutes. With a price in the 800,000 won range, it showcased another camping style with its retro design and wide sense of openness.

The pitching session on this day demonstrated that rather than simply suggesting more expensive products are superior, the pros and cons of a tent can vary depending on the purpose of use and the installation method. The convenient one-touch method is suitable for short camping trips or summer relaxation, while the air tent provides a stable structure and a unique sense of space in exchange for the inconvenience of the initial setup.

By setting up and dismantling the three types of tents themselves, Kim and Park confirmed the characteristics of each product firsthand. The fact that they compared products with vastly different price points—from a 200,000 won sunshade tent to a mid-1,000,000 won air tent—in a real pitching environment is a point likely to interest camping enthusiasts.

After completing all the pitching, the two expressed their gratitude to Choi and her husband, who provided the spacious yard and prepared food. Combining Kim's high interest in camping equipment, Park's skilled pitching abilities, and Choi's relaxed life in Gapyeong, the video captured the close friendship between the three, mediated by their shared passion for camping.
