Lee Jang-woo and Jung Hyuk begin their journey to find 'home-cooked meal friends' in Taiwan.

In the MBN·MBC Every1 entertainment program ‘Do You Know Home-Cooked Meals’ airing on the 30th at 10:30 PM, Lee Jang-woo and Jung Hyuk are seen starting their morning run at a city park on the second day of their home-cooked meal trip in Taiwan.

At the suggestion of running enthusiast Jung Hyuk, they start a light jog, but Lee Jang-woo quickly falls behind after just a few minutes. While catching his breath, he encounters local elderly people doing group exercises in the middle of the park, and out of curiosity, he approaches them and is invited to “dance together.”

Without hesitation, Lee Jang-woo joins the group and showcases his energetic moves, lifting the atmosphere. He confesses, “Actually, I’m a dancer. Even if my body is stiff, if I set my mind to it, I can do headspins and windmills anytime,” revealing his hidden dancing instincts, and the square fills with laughter amidst the cheers of the elderly.

After loosening up, the two head to ‘Dihua Street,’ known for its many traditional eateries recommended by locals. This place boasts a 130-year-old oil rice (Luofan) restaurant, known as a representative local eatery with lines forming since 7 AM.

While waiting excitedly in front of the restaurant, a Taiwanese kindergarten student approaches Lee Jang-woo, asking, “You’re a Korean YouTuber, right?” Lee Jang-woo awkwardly smiles and nods, leading to a humorous situation where he suddenly appears as a ‘creator’ instead of an actor.

After the long wait, the two finally receive their oil rice, Taiwanese-style pig's trotters, durian, and various side dishes, and they dive into their eating broadcast. After tasting the first spoonful, Jung Hyuk exclaims, “Surviving means being strong,” expressing his admiration for the food, while Lee Jang-woo reveals his satisfaction, saying, “Today is totally a vibe (FEEL).”

In the following ‘finding home-cooked meal friends’ mission, they encounter unexpected obstacles. They are repeatedly rejected by locals they meet on the street. Lee Jang-woo comments, “Do I look like I can't eat? Everyone seems to find me burdensome. This isn’t easy,” showing signs of feeling down for the first time during the mission.

Will Lee Jang-woo and Jung Hyuk be able to meet their first ‘home-cooked meal friend’ in Taiwan?

‘Do You Know Home-Cooked Meals’ will air on MBN·MBC Every1 on the 30th at 10:20 PM.
