Jeon Hyun-moo Shares Humorous Culinary Adventure and Past Struggles on 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2'

On the latest episode of 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2', co-produced by MBN and Channel S, Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) embarked on a culinary journey to a renowned restaurant in Seosan.

During the episode aired on the 27th, the duo visited the original Buseok Naengmyeon restaurant, only to be initially turned away. The restaurant owner explained, "We don't allow filming to protect our regular customers. If we appear on TV, our regulars might not be able to visit."

Jeon Hyun-moo, determined to try the dish, pleaded, "A viewer recommended this place. We just need to eat. We'll even take it to go." Eventually, the owner relented, allowing them to film only while eating.

Arriving 30 minutes before closing, Jeon Hyun-moo described the dish as featuring a broth infused with Seosan's specialty, ginger. After tasting it, he remarked, "It's a flavor I've never experienced before. It tastes like ginger tea," echoing a viewer's sentiment that the second taste might not be as appealing.

Initially skeptical, Kwak Tube commented, "It's not as seasoned as Pyongyang Naengmyeon. But as I eat more, it grows on me. It's a hit, a unique taste."

Jeon Hyun-moo, recalling a recent bout of laryngitis, shared, "Kim Sook sent me ginger syrup. When mixed with hot water, it becomes ginger tea. This dish tastes exactly like that, with a sweet ginger tea flavor that's quite charming."

The restaurant owner attributed the dish's sweetness to onions. Jeon Hyun-moo acknowledged, "I understand why they refused filming. They want to protect their regulars," while Kwak Tube humorously promised not to praise the dish too much.

Jeon Hyun-moo concluded, "The viewer's comment about the second taste is spot on. But it's a flavor I'll miss when I return to Seoul. Even the sign seems designed to deter more customers." His message to 'Taste Professor' Lee Young-ja elicited laughter as she responded, "It's the best there."

In a candid moment, Jeon Hyun-moo reflected on his past, saying, "When I was an MC on 'Wednesday Food Talk', I was a mess. I learned while being scolded by Shin Dong-yup. The frustrations and discrimination I endured for four years, I'm now taking out on Kwak Tube," surprising everyone.
