Lee Jung-jae Experiences Yum Jung-ah's Culinary Delights on tvN's 'Fresh off the Sea 2'
Lee Jung-jae finally gets to experience Yum Jung-ah's culinary creations on tvN's 'Fresh off the Sea 2'.

The fourth episode of tvN's 'Fresh off the Sea 2', airing on November 4 at 7:40 PM, features world star Lee Jung-jae as he joins the four siblings in preparing a seasonal feast in Gangwon Province after a grueling day of pollock labor.

After three hours of preparation, Yum Jung-ah's towering gamjatang (pork bone soup) is finally unveiled. Rookie cook Lim Ji-yeon, tasked with making the dough for sujebi (hand-pulled dough soup), finds herself performing an impromptu wrap dance as the dough sticks to her hands, piquing viewers' curiosity. The anticipation builds as viewers wonder if Lim Ji-yeon can successfully navigate the sujebi judgment moment while enjoying the gamjatang.

'Small eater' Lee Jung-jae is initially overwhelmed by the massive gamjatang and pollock dishes, exclaiming, "I'm already full just looking at it." However, his reaction changes 180 degrees after tasting Yum Jung-ah's gamjatang, which he praises as having the visual appeal of a 30-year-old traditional gamjatang restaurant. This piques further interest in Yum Jung-ah's cooking, which perfectly matches Lee Jung-jae's taste preferences.

Yum Jung-ah's culinary prowess continues on the third day in Gangwon Province, with dishes like pollock rice cake soup and buckwheat pancakes made with Park Jun-myeon's aged kimchi set to tantalize viewers' taste buds. Lee Jung-jae humorously struggles with removing pollock bones, exclaiming, "I can't see the bones," showcasing a more human side of the world star. Additionally, the story behind the kimchi soup spill incident that leaves Lee Jung-jae exasperated will be revealed, adding to the intrigue.

Another highlight is the siblings and Lee Jung-jae's attempt to earn pocket money before their Sokcho outing. When familiar games from 'Squid Game', like ddakji and jegichagi, are introduced as pocket money missions, Lee Jung-jae humorously protests to the production team, "I've tried it, and it doesn't work," hinting at the challenging nature of the tasks. He even jokingly accuses them of trying to avoid buying him a coffee, adding to the laughter.

However, Lee Jung-jae soon joins the siblings in a spirited attempt to earn pocket money, participating in games with gusto. Self-proclaimed 'ddakji master' Lee Jae-wook and 'athletic prodigy' Lim Ji-yeon, known for her running skills, showcase their ddakji skills, while the notoriously clumsy Yum Jung-ah takes on jegichagi, promising to leave viewers in stitches. As 'Fresh off the Sea 2' unfolds, viewers are left wondering if they will succeed in their pocket money mission for the outing.
