Lee Dong-gun "I eat chicken twice a year and usually sandwiches."

While basketball player-turned-actor Park Gwang-jae and broadcaster Hyun Joo-yeop boasted of their enormous appetite, Lee Dong-gun surprised people by revealing that he only eats chicken twice a year.

In the SBS entertainment show 'My Little Old Boy' that aired on the 25th, actor Lee Dong-gun was seen visiting Park Gwang-jae's house.

Lee Dong-gun, who met Hyun Joo-yeop for the first time on this day, appealed to his school ties by saying, "I am a 91st graduate of Whimoon High School." He then revealed that he was a fan, saying, "It's my first time seeing him, but he's very friendly. I watch his YouTube channel a lot."

For their first meal, the three ate whole chicken, one per person. Unlike Park Gwang-jae and Hyun Joo-yeop, who finished it off in an instant with their outstanding deboning skills, Lee Dong-geon left behind a whole chicken. He said, “It’s a lot. “I eat chicken about twice a year,” he said. When Hyun Joo-yeop asked what he was eating, Lee Dong-gun answered “sandwiches.” Lee Dong-gun’s mother also said in the studio, “We don’t eat at all. “I’ve never ordered it before,” he said, adding that not everyone in his family likes chicken.

The next menu item was Korean beef. Park Gwang-jae said, “I prepared it thinking about the amount of ribs I ate with Hyun Joo-yeop last time.” When Lee Dong-gun asked how many servings he ate at the time, he said, "I ate 36 servings." It was surprising that the highest amount raised was 3 million won for three people.

Afterwards, the two ate 8 servings of bibim ramen topped with beef spine, then melted the beef marrow with a torch and ate it like dessert. Lee Dong-gun admired the two people's appetite and asked, "Is there anyone who can beat the appetite of these two?" The two denied, saying, "We're not the type to eat a lot."
