[Sports Today reporter Kim Tae-hyung] Kim Hee-chul is gearing up to get back behind the wheel after 20 years.

On the April 12 broadcast of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, comedians Tak Jae-hoon and Heo Kyung-hwan serve as guest driving instructors for Kim, who admits he’s had a dormant driver’s license for about 20 years.

Kim confesses that he hasn’t driven much since suffering a serious traffic accident years ago and even sold his car. When he volunteers to take driving lessons, the studio’s attention quickly turns to him.

As the makeshift instructors, Tak and Heo immediately express concern and ask, “Do you even still have a license?” Kim reveals a surprising, personal reason for finally deciding to resume lessons after 20 years.

The unexpected explanation leaves his mother—watching in the studio—stunned and speechless. The revelation raises questions about what prompted his long-overdue comeback to driving.

Tak and Heo prepare a tailored training course to ease him back in. Still, Kim finds himself rattled by the sophisticated systems in modern cars that weren’t around 20 years ago.

Alarmed by Kim’s quirky automotive knowledge and uneven driving, Tak and Heo clutch their seat belts and become so worried that they ultimately abandon the lesson. The episode will show the tense results of Kim’s on-road performance.

The trio then heads to a gas station, where Kim nervously navigates a narrow, dim entrance and breaks into a cold sweat. Faced with a self-service pump, he is taken aback by how much gas stations have changed.

Forced to handle everything from payment to pumping himself, Kim becomes flustered and makes an unexpected mistake that provokes Tak Jae-hoon’s anger.

Viewers can tune in to the broadcast to see what mistake set off Tak and to watch Kim Hee-chul’s bumpy, unpredictable return to driving.
