ZE:A member Im Siwan shared that he was nearly held up at the airport after being mistaken for an illegal drug smuggler.
Siwan joined the press conference for “Law of the Jungle” on December 17, where he explained what happened. “I went to the jungle with the second group. The first group that went beforehand gave me a mission. Ye Ji Won, who was in the first group, asked me to bring yeast. When I arrived, the airport security was checking my luggage but I didn’t know how to say ‘yeast’ in English. So it was mistaken for something else.”
He continued, “Being mistaken for a drug pusher was hard that time. But now it’s I think it was quite an experience.”
As to why he requested for the yeast, Ye Ji Won explained, “I suggested that we make rice wine in the jungle. Everyone seemed to interested with the idea especially Im Won Hee. That’s why I asked Siwan to fetch some yeast.”
The latest season of “Law of the Jungle” will be Kim Byung Man’s eleventh journey to Micronesia. The official cast list included Park Jung Chul, Ryu Dam, Oh Jong Hyuk, Im Won Hee, ZE:A member Im Siwan, and EXO member Chanyeol.
The first episode of the new season of “Laws of the Jungle” will premiere on December 20.
