Pungja's Period Pain Excuse—Shin Gi-ru: "Transgender People Don't Have Periods"

Entertainer Pungja once again showcased her unique variety skills through witty banter with her close friend, comedian Shin Gi-ru. Pungja, who recently drew attention for losing 33kg, caused laughter with a single joke made during a meal, receiving a witty 'fact check' from Shin Gi-ru as the two engaged in unrestrained 'tiki-taka' that provided great entertainment to viewers.

On the 6th, Pungja released a video on her YouTube channel titled 'Pung-Gi-ru's 33,000 Calorie Pig Party. Shin Gi-ru's Failed Dating Counseling.' In this content, comedian Shin Gi-ru appeared as a guest, enjoying various foods with Pungja while engaging in honest conversations about dating, daily life, and behind-the-scenes broadcasting stories.

In the video, after finishing their first meal, the two immediately started a second meal in front of fried chicken, showcasing their signature mukbang chemistry. Known for their images as big eaters, the two heightened the immersion of the content with their uninhibited talk and natural rapport.

In particular, when Pungja, who garnered interest by revealing her recent 33kg weight loss and a changed appearance, complained of feeling full earlier than expected, Shin Gi-ru immediately sensed the change. When Pungja let out a deep sigh during the meal and reacted by saying, "I'm full," Shin Gi-ru made the scene erupt in laughter by jokingly using her characteristic blunt speech, saying, "Why are you full already? I wish you wouldn't do that kind of action. It's so unfamiliar to see this side of you."

In response, Pungja slyly countered with the improvised joke, "Period pain," to which Shin Gi-ru immediately and wittily responded, "I understand that transgender people do not have periods." Faced with this unexpected 'fact bomb,' Pungja ultimately could not hold back her laughter and sprayed the makgeolli she was holding in her mouth, with the two's natural chemistry becoming the highlight of the video and drawing viewers' attention.

Shin Gi-ru continued her signature humor, saying, "There might be people preparing to be transgender, and these things need to be explained accurately." She added, "LGBT people might misunderstand. I know many transgender acquaintances," to induce more laughter.

Pungja countered, "If you talk nonsense for no reason, it comes back to you tenfold," completing the playful tiki-taka possible only between best friends. The two led a comfortable atmosphere throughout the broadcast with excellent rapport, naturally catching each other's jokes, and received positive responses from viewers as their uninhibpered talk and realistic friendship were fully revealed.

The video is recording high topicality, going beyond simple mukbang content by combining the natural chemistry and quick-witted ad-libs stemming from their long friendship. In particular, evaluations continue that the laughter was doubled by Pungja's changed eating capacity and changes after weight loss, combined with Shin Gi-ru's characteristic blunt yet pleasant reactions.

Born in 1988, Pungja is one of Korea's representative transgender entertainers, building a unique position in the broadcasting industry based on her honest way of speaking, excellent variety skills, and friendly character. She has expanded her public recognition by appearing in various variety programs such as SBS 'Big Survival: Mukjjippa', MBC 'The Manager', and the 'Naepyeonhaja' series, and continues to communicate actively with fans through her YouTube channel 'PungjaTV', which has approximately 880,000 subscribers, by presenting mukbang and talk content. Recently, she has been continuing her new journey along with a healthy image transformation by revealing her recent success in losing 33kg.
