'Single Man' Lee Chan-won, why are there two pillows on the bed?
In KBS 2TV's 'New Release Edition' (hereinafter referred to as 'Pyeon Restaurant') broadcast on the 14th, Lee Chan-won invited Korea's legendary baseball players Hong Seong-heun and Choi Jun-seok to his home. Lee Chan-won, who is famous for being a baseball fanatic, prepared a large dinner table for his favorite baseball brothers. The baseball brothers responded to Lee Chan-won's feelings by showing an all-time eating show.
On this day, two men carrying large baseball bats came to Lee Chan-won's house. They were Korean legendary baseball players Hong Seong-heun and Choi Jun-seok. Lee Chan-won greeted his brothers with a smile on his face. Hong Seong-heun presented Lee Chan-won with a 'Korean Professional Baseball 40th Anniversary Legendary 40 Player Commemorative Hat', which cannot be obtained anywhere. For baseball fanatic Lee Chan-won, it was an irreplaceable gift.
In such a friendly atmosphere, the brothers’ Chanto House tour began. The first thing that caught the brothers' attention was the bedroom of single man Lee Chan-won. There were two pillows on the bed. Hong Seong-heun said, “Why are there two pillows?” and aroused suspicion, saying, “You’re suspicious.” Lee Chan-won, embarrassed, said, “There are four pillows. “I prepared for it because my parents come sometimes,” he explained, drawing laughter. In addition, Hong Seong-heun and Choi Jun-seok clicked their tongues in admiration when they saw Chanto House's herb room and cleanly organized refrigerator.
Next, the food that Lee Chan-won prepared for his brothers was revealed one by one. Starting with the welcome drink, homemade sikhye, 2kg of vegetables for soybean paste shabu-shabu, 5kg of marbled beef, etc. The brothers, who were somewhat sensitive to the appearance of large quantities of vegetables, smiled when 33 servings of marbled meat appeared. Afterwards, Lee Chan-won started the brothers' mukbang race by setting up 6 servings of rice and various side dishes in order.
The baseball legend was also a mukbang legend. In particular, Choi Jun-seok created a surprise by showing a vacuum cleaner mukbang where he eats 10 pieces of meat in one mouthful with the magic of making an ordinary bowl of rice look like a soy sauce sauce. Not only the mountain of meat but also the six servings of rice disappeared in an instant. Lee Chan-won, who exclaimed, “It’s amazing” while watching the brothers’ eating show, soon served whole grilled pork belly. Kalguksu (noodles) were also boiled in shabu-shabu broth. Since we ran out of rice, we even used instant rice to make dumpling porridge. The brothers finished their Nth meal just as deliciously as the first time. Not only Lee Chan-won but also the ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ family members who watched through VCR were surprised, saying, “It’s like a food fight.”
After finishing their meal, the brothers sat side by side on the sofa. When two people sat down, the sofa looked particularly small, making them laugh. Lee Chan-won made and re-cooked the food without any hesitation, but the smile did not leave his face as it was for his favorite brothers. The sight of the older brothers loving their attentive and affectionate younger brother Lee Chan-won also brought joy. It was a time when I was surprised by the eating show and bursting with chemistry.
On this day, Lee Chan-won said, “I guess this is the end, right?” and predicted a huge food party with gluttonous brothers to be held next week.
