[NEWS] B2ST's Kikwang makes cute mistakes on 'Laws of the Jungle in Solomon Islands'

As one of the younger members of SBS's 'Laws of the Jungle in Solomon Islands,'B2ST's Kikwang seemed to have the most trouble in getting used to the harsh environment of the jungle. 

On the September 26 episode of the show, Kikwang almost caused a disaster when he leaned on the makeshift jungle shelter that the members set up to sleep under, causing it to slant. However, due to the sturdily crafted work by the members, the shelter didn't crumble. 

Kikwang's potentially catastrophic slip was soon forgotten amongst the members as they faced harsh survival missions and it was decided that they would restructure the shelter to make it more sturdy. Kikwang apologized and revealed that he was the culprit to the tilting of the shelter as they were heading back to base, causing the fellow jungle members to chuckle at his adorable mistake. 

Despite his silly mistakes, the idol also showed off his masculinity through his night fishing skills where he was given the nickname, 'Harpoon King.' Although Kim Byung Man and Kikwang had to come out of the water due to the unexpected appearance of sharks, Kikwang proved that he was worthy to be a part of the jungle team.

The part 1 cast which includes, tribe leader Kim Byung Man, Park Jung Chul, Ryu Dam, Kwon Oh Joong, g.o.d's Kim Tae Woo, Kim Gyu Ri, B2ST's Kikwang, and martial artist director Jung Doo Hong, received a startling, yet sweet welcoming ceremony by the inhabitants of the Solomon Islands and got to try the interesting fruits and vegetables that the land had to offer.

But the most eye-catching food were the bats and monitor lizards that the tribe had to eat for dinner. The island residents roasted a dish filled with sweet potatoes, eggs, bats, and monitor lizards that were sauced with coconut milk. Kim Tae Woo was the first one to courageously try the monitor lizard and gave his review, "It tastes like meat. It's a little stiff because it's roasted. But the monitor lizard is okay." Kikwang also commented after taking a bite, "Oh! This is really! It tastes like well-roasted fish."

Ryu Dam was the first to try the roasted bat and shared, "The bat tastes good! It just tastes like smoked chicken. It also tastes like ham. To be honest, it's tasty. But it's a bit hard [to eat] because you know it's a bat. But it's tasty." Kim Tae Woo took a bite as well and shared, "This tastes better than the monitor lizard." Kikwang also gave his opinion, "It was surprising. If you eat this without knowing what kind of meat this is, you would think that this has a good roasted taste."
