A fellow celebrity has made a surprising claim about Korean TV host Jeon Hyun-moo, alleging that he has 30 billion won (approximately $22 million) in his bank account.
The 23rd episode of 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3', airing at 9:10 PM on the 20th, features Jeon Hyun-moo, Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), and their 'food friends' Yang Se-hyung and Lim Han-byul as they visit a famous 'Jorim Galbi' restaurant in Icheon City, diving into the 'Jeon Hyun-moo Legend'.
During the episode, Jeon Hyun-moo initiates a 'wealth talk' by saying, “When Se-hyung bought a 10.9 billion won building, what I envied was...” Yang Se-hyung quickly retorts, “What’s there to envy? I heard you have 30 billion won in cash in your account.” Jeon Hyun-moo, taken aback, tries to deflect by praising Se-hyung's investment skills. Kwak Tube then suddenly shows his cryptocurrency investment status on his phone, leading Jeon Hyun-moo to silently hold his forehead. Kwak Tube confesses, “My wife doesn’t know about it. I’m suffering alone.”
The group then arrives at a '46-year-old' traditional Jorim Galbi restaurant. 'Food expert' Yang Se-hyung initially doubts, saying, “Isn't this just boiled water galbi?” However, after tasting the Jorim Galbi with Icheon rice, he applauds the dish. As the food show progresses, Lim Han-byul shares his marriage story, revealing, “I got married at 30, but my mother-in-law was worried due to my low recognition. However, when 'On the Way to Break Up' entered the top 10, I got her approval,” highlighting the song that changed his life. With the mention of music, Jeon Hyun-moo suggests, “Let’s do the 'Jeon Hyun-moo Legend' now.” He then passionately performs as a '40-year unknown singer' and 'practice bug', prompting Lim Han-byul to comment, “Despite having no natural talent at all.”
The 'Jeon Hyun-moo Legend' stage, featuring the candid evaluations from MBN 'Legend of the Unknown' judges Yang Se-hyung and Lim Han-byul, can be seen in the 23rd episode of MBN and Channel S's 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3'.
