In 'The Jeon Hyun Moo Plan 2', Jeon Hyun Moo, Kwak Tube, and Ji Yaeun showcased delightful chemistry during their food trip in Yeongdeok.
In the 20th episode of the real street food documentary 'The Jeon Hyun Moo Plan 2' (co-produced by MBN and Channel S), Jeon Hyun Moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun Bin) embarked on a food trip to discover local restaurants in Yeongdeok with 'MZ representative' actress Ji Yaeun. They started with Andong ribs and then explored Kwak Tube's pick, a local restaurant in Yeongdeok, and a 'value for money' restaurant for Yeongdeok snow crabs, providing viewers with useful information and entertainment.
After finishing their Andong restaurant tour, Jeon Hyun Moo said, "I was going to go to another area, but Andong ribs keep coming to mind," and headed to the 'Andong Ribs' alley. Jeon Hyun Moo and Kwak Tube enjoyed Andong-style garlic ribs, which were mixed only with garlic and sesame oil, at a carefully selected restaurant among the many rib houses, and they were delighted by the 'real' taste of garlic marinated ribs with added soy sauce. After successfully clearing the last menu in Andong, Jeon Hyun Moo declared, "The next street food is Yeongdeok!" He then introduced Ji Yaeun, saying, "Today, I have a 'food friend'. She's a bubbly rising star and an active actress in variety shows." After reuniting with his 'close friend' Ji Yaeun, Kwak Tube actively led the conversation, saying, "I know a bit about Yeongdeok; there's a restaurant where the menu changes depending on the seafood caught that day," showcasing his charm. With anticipation building as Kwak Tube's 'restaurant' was introduced for the first time on 'The Jeon Hyun Moo Plan', the three ordered the day's restaurant menu, which included a stew made with flatfish and the steady seller, pork stir-fry.
While enjoying their meal, Kwak Tube suddenly asked Ji Yaeun, "These days, you're working with the 'national MCs' Yoo Jae Suk, Shin Dong Yup, and Jeon Hyun Moo. If a show airs at the same time, who would you choose to work with?" Ji Yaeun replied, "(Yoo) Jae Suk sunbaenim is comfortable." Jeon Hyun Moo, feeling a bit hurt, said, "At least pretend to think about it; you're not considering me at all." Ji Yaeun explained, "Sunbaenim Jae Suk sometimes watches the broadcast and even texts me. He makes me feel comfortable." Jeon Hyun Moo then teased, "If you do a fixed program with me, you'll forget about Jae Suk hyung~," causing laughter in the studio. After finishing their meal, Ji Yaeun expressed her strong appetite, saying, "Since we came all the way to Yeongdeok, we have to eat snow crab~," and Jeon Hyun Moo mentioned, "There's a value-for-money restaurant loved by 'snow crab lovers'."
The restaurant recommended by Jeon Hyun Moo was not located in the famous 'snow crab street' of Yeongdeok but was situated next to a port known only to locals. Upon entering the restaurant, Ji Yaeun exclaimed, "I only want to eat crabs~," showcasing her high energy, which made Jeon Hyun Moo remark, "It feels like I'm with my daughter. I suddenly want to have a daughter." Amidst the laughter, they enjoyed the incredible value of steamed Yeongdeok snow crabs, priced at 30,000 won each. During the meal, Jeon Hyun Moo asked, "What is your ideal type?" Ji Yaeun replied, "I like someone who is kind, witty, and has a good sense of humor." Kwak Tube then teased, "A handsome guy style? Someone like Kang Hoon?" referring to Ji Yaeun's rumored love interest, Kang Hoon. Ji Yaeun responded, "(Kang Hoon) is handsome. But we both have to like each other~," giving a meaningful look. She then confessed, "It's uncomfortable because there are continuous articles about my love line with Kang Hoon." Jeon Hyun Moo chimed in, "I've become like a newlywed with a 20-year-younger announcer." Ji Yaeun emphasized, "Broadcasting is just broadcasting!" and Jeon Hyun Moo concluded, "It's all one big play~," clearly addressing the dating rumors.
Afterward, the three topped off their meal with crab shell fried rice and flatfish sashimi, savoring every last bite. Kwak Tube remarked, "While doing 'The Jeon Hyun Moo Plan', I've been to countless restaurants, but the happiest one is here," giving a thumbs up, and Ji Yaeun replied, "It's because I'm here~," bringing laughter until the end.
Thus, the food trip in Yeongdeok with Ji Yaeun came to a close, and the food trip of 'food brothers' Jeon Hyun Moo and Kwak Tube, who gathered special guests for the upcoming 'So Hanbaki' special, can be seen in the 21st episode of 'The Jeon Hyun Moo Plan 2', airing on the 14th at 9:10 PM, co-produced by MBN and Channel S.
