When he volunteers to take driving lessons, the studio\u2019s attention quickly turns to him.<\/p>\n<p> As the makeshift instructors, Tak and Heo immediately express concern and ask, \u201cDo you even still have a license?\u201d Kim reveals a surprising, personal reason for finally deciding to resume lessons after 20 years.<\/p>\n<p> The unexpected explanation leaves his mother\u2014watching in the studio\u2014stunned and speechless. The revelation raises questions about what prompted his long-overdue comeback to driving.<\/p>\n<p> 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\u2019t around 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p> Alarmed by Kim\u2019s 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\u2019s on-road performance.<\/p>\n<p> 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.<\/p>\n<p> Forced to handle everything from payment to pumping himself, Kim becomes flustered and makes an unexpected mistake that provokes Tak Jae-hoon\u2019s anger.<\/p>\n<p> Viewers can tune in to the broadcast to see what mistake set off Tak and to watch Kim Hee-chul\u2019s bumpy, unpredictable return to driving.<\/p>\n<p> [Sports Today reporter Kim Tae-hyung <span><font color=\"blue\">ent@stoo.com<\/font><\/span>]<br \/>\u300cThe closest, most entertaining news \u24d2 Sports Today\u300d
