Jin Seon-gyu "I became weak after stealing herbal medicine"

Jeon Hyun-moo not only succeeded in becoming the 'Jjinchin' with 'Cooking & Talk' full of soul for Jin Seon-gyu, but also showed his sincerity by leaving a proof photo of watching Jin Seon-gyu and Lee Hee-jun's play after the broadcast.

In the second episode of ENA's original entertainment show 'Hyunmoo Kase', which aired on the 18th, it was exciting to see Jeon Hyun-moo invite Jin Seon-gyu, whom he had always wanted to become friends with, and Lee Hee-jun, his 'best friend of 25 years', and present 'Actor Kase'. It was previously reported that Jin Seon-gyu's fellow actors called him a 'really good person.'

On this day, Jeon Hyun-moo opened the door to the hideout and welcomed Jin Seon-gyu and Lee Hee-jun, saying, "There has never been a friend I wanted to become this close to while living in the entertainment industry." Jeon Hyun-moo and Kim Ji-seok first served the two people a welcome tea called 'Shakerato' made from bagged coffee. Next, Jeon Hyun-moo said, "Because the actors read a lot of scripts, I prepared it to take care of their eye health," and made the appetizer 'Smoked Corn Skewers'. However, he failed while cutting the corn without any intention, and he threw the ruined corn straight into his mouth, making people laugh.

Following the appetizers, Jeon Hyun-moo announced the start of the generously provided 'Ermus Sushi' course, saying, "I spent a lot of money today." Jin Seon-gyu and Lee Hee-jun recalled their days as theater actors, burning off their youth while eating plump Jeju sea bream sushi. The two said, "It was a time when we were receiving a salary of 300,000 won. We performed in a remodeled garage." However, at this time, Lee Hee-jun complained of injustice, saying, "I was jealous because Seon-gyu was the most popular in the troupe. I paid for drinks much more often, but only when he paid was the word about it," making everyone burst into laughter.

After taking out a plate of sea urchin roe from Hokkaido, Japan, Jeon Hyun-moo showed off his sea urchin roe flex by saying, “I put up tens of thousands of won worth for just one seaweed roll.” However, while the two chefs were plating sea urchin sushi, when the sea urchin roe fell down, they threw it into their mouths. Jin Seon-gyu sighed, saying, “I think the reason I’m hungry is because I’m just staring at eating.” In response to Jin Seon-gyu's complaint(?), Jeon Hyun-moo showed his sweetness by hand-feeding sushi, and Jin Seon-gyu praised it as "the best sushi I've ever eaten in my life."

Jin Seon-gyu, who tasted the Peach Blossom shrimp, ate it frugally, saying, "Give me the head too. I haven't had good food in the past, so I don't have anything like this left over." He then devastated the scene by revealing his story, "I thought my friend's herbal medicine was good in the past, so I just took it. I took it secretly, and at some point, I started to feel unwell." Jin Seon-gyu and Lee Hee-jun also said that the theater company was performing for the 20th anniversary, and Jeon Hyun-moo immediately asked, “Can I go see it?” Furthermore, after recording the broadcast, Jeon Hyun-moo posted a proof shot of the two people going to see a play on his SNS, showing off their friendship that continued even after the broadcast.

Kim Ji-seok said, “Because we are the same actor, we sometimes avoid talking about acting among close friends.” At the same time, I asked Lee Hee-jun and Jin Seon-gyu what they usually talk about. Heejun Lee replied, “We talk about acting with each other.”

Lee Hee-jun explained, “Because we practice plays together, we exchange advice such as ‘I think it would be better if we do it this way.’ We don’t feel bad about it.” Kim Ji-seok joked, “It was rumored that he was upset.” Lee Hee-jun said, “When we were performing together in our 30s, we got drunk on makgeolli. Jun-ho asked, ‘Hee-jun, I want to talk about acting while I was drunk. Can we do that?’ So I said, ‘Okay.’ Then, ‘You act on stage. “If I see you using your head when you do it, I’ll tell you, ‘You’re unlucky,’” he confessed.

Lee Hee-jun said, "Seongyu, who was drunk next to me, said, 'Actually, I've never been jealous of Hee-jun's acting.' Suddenly, I burst into tears. He wailed loudly, saying, 'I want to act naturally, too.' 30-year-olds want to act well. “As I was crying, senior Jeong Bo-seok, who was at the table next to me, paid for my drink and said, ‘It was a good meal,’” he said, revealing a past anecdote. In response to Kim Ji-seok's question about how he solved it, Lee Hee-jun replied, "A few years ago, Seon-gyu told me, 'Hee-jun, I'm jealous of your acting.' It made me feel really good."
