In the latest episode of MBN·Channel S's ‘The Jeon Hyun-moo Project 2’, actor Park Byeong-eun showcased a delightful food trip in Daegu with Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube.
In the 32nd episode aired on the 6th, Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) spent a day exploring Daegu, the 'city of gastronomy', with their 'food friend' Park Byeong-eun. They indulged in everything from 'healthy food' grandma-style mukbap to local favorites like chicken and pufferfish dishes, providing viewers with valuable information and entertainment.
On that day, Jeon Hyun-moo said, “Actually, I came all the way to Daegu to eat this in the morning,” and headed to a grandma-style mukbap restaurant with Kwak Tube. Upon arriving, the two sat on a 'Nujok' style platform by the valley without tables and received a full serving of mukbap. While enjoying Daegu-style buckwheat muk and jeongguji jjim, Kwak Tube proposed a “Gyeongsang-do dialect test” with several questions. Jeon Hyun-moo answered correctly, but when an unknown question came up, he suddenly changed and shouted, “Kkeujira (get lost), you!” causing everyone to burst into laughter.
After a laughter-filled mukbang, the two met their 'food friend' Park Byeong-eun in the MZ center, known as 'Myeongdong of Daegu'. At that moment, Jeon Hyun-moo led them to a 44-year-old chicken restaurant, one of the 'three major chickens' in Daegu, saying, “This is where Korean chicken was born.” Shortly after, the three of them received one fried chicken and one seasoned chicken each and fell into a 'chicken holic' state. Jeon Hyun-moo gave a thumbs up, saying, “It’s an absolutely unique taste,” while even the staff were seen eating chicken while filming, creating a hilarious scene.
When the topic of marriage came up, Kwak Tube urgently diagnosed, “It seems both of you have lost your romantic cells,” and suggested a 'romantic countdown game'. Jeon Hyun-moo and Park Byeong-eun both reacted simultaneously, saying, “Our romantic cells are alive, why?” and displayed a 'chaotic chemistry'.
Nevertheless, Kwak Tube started the game by asking, “It’s been over two years since you became single,” to which both men acknowledged by counting on their fingers. Following that, when asked, “Do you feel unattractive when you look in the mirror these days?” Jeon Hyun-moo confidently exclaimed, “I’m super attractive~,” while Park Byeong-eun also chimed in, “I’m max level attractive!” using MZ slang to add a quirky touch.
However, the test results revealed that Jeon Hyun-moo received a shocking diagnosis of 'romantic cell death', while Park Byeong-eun faced the result of 'romantic cells in a dormant state'. Kwak Tube expressed surprise, saying, “Park Byeong-eun seems like the type to be very popular…” and Jeon Hyun-moo testified, “Park Byeong-eun graduated from Chung-Ang University’s Theater and Film Department and is close friends with Ha Jung-woo. I saw their college photos, and Park Byeong-eun looked like Cha Eun-woo level.” In response, Park Byeong-eun said, “I’ll only show you, Jun-bin,” and pulled out a photo from that time. Upon seeing the photo, Kwak Tube acknowledged, “You look like a Japanese idol!” confirming his 'flower boy' status.
Jeon Hyun-moo boldly introduced the next restaurant, saying, “The taste here is worth trading for your life.” However, upon hearing this, Park Byeong-eun gently pointed out, “Oh? (Hyun-moo) Your romantic cells are dead~,” making Jeon Hyun-moo dizzy. Shortly after, the three went to a pufferfish restaurant, one of the '10 delicacies of Daegu', and enjoyed a lavish 'pufferfish full course meal' including pufferfish bulgogi, pufferfish jjiritang, and pufferfish skin. Especially, after tasting the 'Daegu-style' pufferfish bulgogi bibimbap with vinegar, the three fell into a 'culinary new world'.
After finishing their delightful meal, Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, “Park Byeong-eun has a talent for finding fish that resemble people.” In response, Park Byeong-eun said, “First of all, I resemble a sea bream,” referring to himself as the shining prince of the sea, which drew laughter. He then added, “Kwak Tube has a cute face, so he resembles a rockfish, and Jeon Hyun-moo seems to resemble a sand eel around the eyes,” providing laughs until the very end.
