Jeon Hyun-moo, irrational move aimed at ‘consecutive targets’

Broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo is making similar moves as a similar character in two programs. Under the same MBC roof.

Jeon Hyun-moo is currently appearing as a regular on 'Point of Omniscient Interfere' (hereinafter referred to as 'Point of Omniscient Interfere') and 'I Live Alone' (hereinafter referred to as 'I Live Alone'). Last year, he earned the nickname 'Tminnam', garnering attention for every challenge he took on, and was recognized as the hottest entertainer by everyone, working as secondary characters such as 'Pachinnom', 'Muskia', 'Muden Ramsey', and 'Pamyu'. Accordingly, they were honored with the Entertainer of the Year Award, Best Couple Award, and Grand Prize at the 2022 MBC 'Broadcast Entertainment Awards'. It's literally on a roll.

However, after receiving the grand prize, it seems that the direction of entertainment was limited to characters that were similar to each other. You go to a good restaurant, eat, evaluate the taste, and then find another food to eat. He plays the role of Pachinnom in 'The Battle of War' and Palmyu in 'I Am Alone'.

In the end, viewers have been watching this scene repeatedly for the past two months. That's why it's sometimes confusing whether 'I'm on my own' or 'I'm on my own' is 'I'm on my own.'

Since May of last year, Jeon Hyun-moo has already brought a lot of laughs as Lee Young-ja's character 'Pachin Guy', a man who is obsessed with green onion kimchi, in 'The Battle of War'. As soon as Jeon Hyun-moo ate the green onion kimchi wrapped in meat, he raised his thumb and even stamped his feet. Jeon Hyun-moo said, “I don't want to go to Hong Hyun-hee's. “Let’s eat this,” he said excitedly. Jeon Hyun-moo, who burst into laughter, even brought green onion kimchi to Hong Hyun-hee's house, and lost his senses to the point where he couldn't even hear Lee Young-ja's words.

The same thing happened when I visited Hong Hyun-hee's house. Jeon Hyun-moo, who was watching at the table, pointed out, “You didn't put green onion kimchi on it,” and Song Eun-i, who was watching the video, shouted, “You're an idiot who only “Knows green onion kimchi.” Jeon Hyun-moo was so obsessed with green onion kimchi that he refilled it twice, and Yang Se-hyung pointed out, “I think green onions will grow on Hyun-moo's head in a few days.” In the studio, Jeon Hyun-moo revealed that he has been addicted to green onion kimchi since the housewarming and said, “I tried not to have late-night snacks, but because of the green onion kimchi, I ordered sundae soup. “I wonder why I am like this,” he confessed.

In October last year, she surprised everyone by making 'Lee Young-ja green onion kimchi' herself. When Jeon Hyun-moo said, “I soaked it until midnight,” Yoo Byung-jae was impressed and said, “The visuals are vaguely similar.” When Jeon Hyun-moo said, “You have to start with the insert time reverently,” Lee Guk-joo looked at him as if he was in trouble, but Jeon Hyun-moo paid him no attention and showed pride, saying, “Visuals are king,” and made everyone laugh.

Even in 'Warfare', which aired on the 11th, Pachinnom appeared as always. On this day, Jeon Hyun-moo went on a trip to Jeju Island with Kwon Yul, Lee Young-ja, and Lee Young-ja's manager Song. The four people arrived at the raw pork ribs restaurant, recommended by Lee Young-ja, located on the coast through rough snow. Jeon Hyun-moo showed off his 'green onion kimchi crazy guy' attitude by eating green onion kimchi first even at a raw pork rib restaurant. And he was impressed by the taste of the green onion kimchi, saying, "It tastes different from my sister's green onion kimchi, but she's good at it. She makes the green onion kimchi well." He was still the same guy.

At the same time, he played an active role as palm oil in 'I Am Alone'. The palm oil line with Park Na-rae and Lee Jang-woo started in October last year. The three ate without stopping, tasting the food prepared by Jeon Hyun-moo.

When the response that "I used a cheat key" came out, the three people left for the '1st Palm Oil Seminar' in Dalat, Vietnam. They ate 20 hours and 28 different foods during the 30 hours they spent in Vietnam for 2 days and 1 night. At the supermarket, I bought 120,000 won worth of sauce alone.

Jeon Hyun-moo's mukbang continued in last month's broadcast. In the 'Palm Oil Seminar' broadcast featuring sundae soup, Jeon Hyun-moo, who won the grand prize, visited his favorite sundae soup restaurant in Yangpyeong to relieve his hangover from the awards ceremony after-party. Jeon Hyun-moo made a video call to Lee Jang-woo and talked about sundae soup.

In the broadcast on the 3rd, Jeon Hyun-moo was seen doing a Korean beef mukbang during his trip to Pyeongchang. Jeon Hyun-moo, who 'snapping' 500g of Korean beef in just 15 minutes, said, "I think it's the power of detox. Detox is important for palm oil. I plan to make it a part of my daily life."

Jeon Hyun-moo has established himself as the hottest entertainer by creating numerous side characters over the past year. It gave the public the pleasure of gourmet food and fresh laughter about new characters.

However, after winning the grand prize trophy, his character research seems to be going through difficulties. Jeon Hyun-moo is a talented broadcaster who is good at many things other than 'eating shows'. Rather than continuing to show the same character, you can develop by constantly thinking about an honest look at single life and new points of laughter.

This is an important moment for Jeon Hyun-moo. Just because you receive the 'grand prize' doesn't mean you can immediately feel at ease. Even in soccer, the five minutes after scoring a goal is the most critical moment. This moment, with the afterimage of the grand prize winner remaining, could be either a 'crisis' or an 'opportunity' for Jeon Hyun-moo.
