‘Esquire’ Lee Jin-wook and Jung Chae-yeon take on a meal challenge in Apgujeong.
In the JTBC entertainment program ‘One Meal a Day’ airing on the 5th at 8:50 PM, actor Lee Jin-wook, who boasts a wide acting spectrum from the main characters in ‘Squid Game’ seasons 2 and 3 to a partner lawyer in ‘Esquire’, and Jung Chae-yeon, who has transformed from the legendary ‘Ending Fairy’ to a trusted actress, will appear.
On this day, all eyes were on the reunion of actors Lee Jin-wook and Kim Hee-sun after 20 years. Lee Jin-wook, who first met Kim Hee-sun in his rookie days during ‘Smile Again’, recalled, “She was a god to me.” He also expressed his fan admiration by saying, “She is still beautiful.” In response, Tak Jae-hoon asked, “Then who is prettier, Hee-sun or Chae-yeon?” which led to Lee Jin-wook deep in thought and hesitating to answer. Additionally, Lee Jin-wook surprised everyone by revealing a behind-the-scenes story, saying, “I was the last casting for ‘Squid Game’.”
The neighborhood that ‘One Meal Expedition’ visited is Apgujeong, a gathering place for stars that Lee Jin-wook often frequents. Lee Jin-wook generously shared his Apgujeong spots, from cafes he often visits to clothing stores, greeting acquaintances everywhere he went, showcasing his ‘Apgujeong insider’ persona. He even showed interest in the changes in Apgujeong and real estate, proving to be an expert in Apgujeong, surpassing the ‘true resident’ Kim Hee-sun.
Meanwhile, Jung Chae-yeon, who described herself as a variety show novice, shows a surprising charm by actively engaging in everything, unlike her initial shyness. Even during her first visit to a real estate agency, she boldly asked curious questions and actively pressed the bell despite the rainy conditions, transforming into a ‘variety show rookie’. Amid ongoing unexpected situations, it remains to be seen whether the ‘One Meal Expedition’ can succeed in having a meal in trendy Apgujeong, which can be checked on JTBC’s ‘One Meal a Day’ on the 5th at 8:50 PM.
