[TV Report = Reporter Nam Geum-ju] Pengsoo revealed the story behind his casting for ‘Death Game’. On the 3rd, a video titled ‘Pengfluencer who appeared like a comet in the survival world’ was posted on ‘Salon Drip’ of YouTube channel ‘TEO Teo’. On this day, Pengsoo revealed the story of becoming the first animal to appear on the survival program ‘Death Game’. Pengsoo said, “I decided to participate in ‘Death Game’ to get rid of the stigma of being a bird-head.” Pengsoo, who said he did not apply but was invited, confessed, "I like Zhuge Liang. I wanted to challenge him for three reasons, so I rejected him twice. I thought he really wouldn't come the third time, so I accepted right away. I only did it up to the point of 'I'll try and challenge him.'" Regarding the reason for his initial refusal, Pengsoo said, "I am from EBS, and I thought I would only be embarrassed if I left for no reason. I thought it was a double-edged sword. But I thought I would regret it. I think I am smarter than I thought. That's why I appeared on the show with momentum." Next, Pengsoo expressed confidence about the atmosphere of the 'Death Game', saying, "The atmosphere was definitely scary. But it was more than I thought, and I thought, 'A game? It wasn't anything special?'" Meanwhile, Pengsoo immediately started a guessing game by asking Jang Do-yeon, “Would you like to play a game with me?” and when Jang Do-yeon shouted ‘2’, he calmly said, “You lost.” When Jang Do-yeon asked, "Do you think the stigma of being a bird-head will be removed?" Pengsoo joked, "I was anxious. I thought it might be uncomfortable if people found out that I was too smart." Meanwhile, Netflix's 'Death Game' featured Lee Se-dol, Hong Jin-ho, Pani Bottle, Yurisa, Seven High, Park Sung-woong, Naples Matpia (chef Kwon Seong-jun), Pengsoo, and lawyer Yang Na-rae.
