Kim Min tests her skills at Songpa's claw machine hotspots

Comedian Kim Min visited claw machine shops to personally experience the thrill of winning dolls.

According to a video released on Kim Min's YouTube channel on September 23, 2026, she visited several shops in Songpa-gu following reviews that labeled them as prime locations for winning prizes. For this visit, Kim Min set a goal to attempt 30 grabs at each shop. Showing her confidence, Kim Min said, "Thirty times? Then I feel like I'm going to clear them all out."

Starting the challenge in the 'Beginner Zone'

At the first shop, she first checked an area designated as the 'Beginner Zone.' Kim Min worked her way through the zone, attempting various tricks in the video, such as using a hat to hook a doll. After successfully catching her target dolls, Kim Min remarked, "The hand feel is good." Demonstrating her success, she noted, "It's all about technique. It's technique."

Visiting the second shop filled with box-shaped prizes

Next, Kim Min visited a second shop packed with prizes. This location was characterized by a large selection of box-shaped items, a feature the owner takes great pride in. Although Kim Min expressed unfamiliarity with the mechanics of catching box-shaped prizes, she continued her attempts on various items, including 'Heok-bap-man.' She continued the challenge by observing how the dolls moved depending on their weight and the position of the hook. While attempting to catch Heok-bap-man, she remarked, "This one with the hook is heavy."

Asking fans for more 'holy land' recommendations

Kim Min shared her impressions of the experience after visiting the various shops. At the end of the video, she revealed that she visited these specific locations because so many people had recommended them. She concluded the video by asking fans to leave comments if they know of any other 'holy land' locations where even beginners can easily win dolls.
