Durian’s Chestnut Twist: Korean Host Destroys Husk for Sweet Taste

When Durian Rules Break: A Reality Show Goes Nuts… Literally

South‑East Asians know the King of Fruits better than anyone—yet even a Korean reality show couldn’t handle it.

The “Law of the Jungle” Stumble

Celebrity hunters from Law of the Jungle landed in Myanmar’s Mergui Archipelago, where the drama unfolded. The crew made a litany of oops‑moments that had Malaysian netizens rolling in their chairs.

  • Half‑sliced mischief. The cast, instead of gently prying the durian open, sliced it like a watermelon, releasing seeds and pulp all at once.
  • Hands in the wrong place. An episode clip of comedian Kim Byung‑man digging his fingers deeper than the fruit wanted caused 13,000 retweets, sparking a wave of memes.
  • Husk high‑five. A (G)I‑DLE member, actor Ahn Chang‑hwan, and actress Han Bo‑reum accidentally ate the durian husk, mistaking it for fruit.
  • Tree‑climbing chaos. The trio tried to harvest more fruit—only to discover they’d been panning for the unripe ones, risking a deadly drop.

Why It Matters (And Is Infuriating)

Durian is a slow‑maturing fruit that falls to the ground only when it’s ready. By sitting under the tree, these reality show stars were essentially waiting for a potential landmine. The result? A big waste of perfectly good fruit and a showdown with the God of Spoilers—who isn’t thrilled when we mess with his precious seeds.

What the Fans Said

“It’s tasty! It’s like pineapple,” Yoon San‑ha from Astro laughed, but her words fell on ears that had already heard the stench. Meanwhile, Song Yu‑Qi questioned the authenticity of the taste: “Is it really durian? Durian doesn’t taste like this.”

A Light‑Hearted Take

Even though the debacle’s critics piled on playful insults—calling the crew “fruit‑mutilating misfits”—the show’s awkward moments also gave viewers a good chuckle.

So the next time you hear a “dec‑ity” about a binge‑watching episode, you’ll know the real drama was inside the ribs of a durian that’s far more than just a fruit. Good luck quoting that!

    • What Cracked the Peace?

    • The Takeaway

  • Even when a mistake seems “honest,” it can spark wider criticism, especially when it touches on environmental stewardship.
  • Fans and critics alike will watch closely to see how the network handles the fallout—will they apologize, tighten safety protocols, or face more public backlash?

    • Final Thought
    While the show’s producers might claim a simple oversight, the repeated slip‑ups hint at a deeper issue: the need for brighter awareness and stricter adherence to local laws, especially when we’re all swimming in the same global pond.
