KwakTube and Pengsoo Go Gyaru-o in Shibuya for 'Giant Peng TV' Japan Trip

Travel creator and broadcaster KwakTube (real name Kwak Jun-bin) transformed into a gyaru-o style in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, alongside Pengsoo. On the 4th, KwakTube released several photos and videos filmed in Shibuya on his social media (SNS).

In the photos, KwakTube wore a brown bob wig, heavy eye makeup, bold lip makeup, and a leopard pattern shirt. It was a Japanese male gyaru style, the so-called 'gyaru-o' concept, which differs from his usual friendly and gentle image.

'Tokyo Yaho' in Shibuya with Pengsoo

EBS's representative character Pengsoo was also by KwakTube's side. Pengsoo also transformed with a pink-accented hairstyle, flashy accessories, and heavy makeup to roam the streets of Shibuya with KwakTube.

The two struck humorous poses indoors, filled with pink decorations, dolls, and props. The phrase "Tokyo Ya~ Ho~" left in the post is a parody of RESCENE's song 'Geoje Yaho,' showing that this transformation was part of the filming for the Japan travel episode of the YouTube content 'Giant Peng TV.'

KwakTube and Pengsoo posed together with local citizens on the streets of Shibuya. The combination of travel creator KwakTube and the strong character of Pengsoo added to the atmosphere on site.

Fan reactions extending to PaniBottle's comment

After the post was released, fans reacted with comments such as "I don't know what I just saw," "I think this will appear in my dreams," and "Oh, you startled me." Some said, "I couldn't recognize him as KwakTube," while other netizens mentioned his unexpected visuals, saying, "It suits him better than expected."

Fellow YouTuber PaniBottle, known to be close friends with KwakTube, also left a comment. PaniBottle wrote, "It's a shame there is no dislike button," responding to KwakTube's radical transformation with humor. One netizen even gave a joking reaction, saying, "This is a diplomatic nuisance."

'Weight of a Breadwinner' following marriage and son's birth

The expression most frequently mentioned among fans was 'the weight of a breadwinner.' This was a playful interpretation arising as news that KwakTube married a civil servant five years younger last October and welcomed his first son this March coincided with this costume.

The key point is that this transformation is not a simple daily photo, but a setting for the 'Giant Peng TV' Japan travel episode. Attention is focused on what kind of scenes the unique combination of KwakTube and Pengsoo will lead to in the main episode.
