Ryu Soo-young's 'Ryu Student Eonam Sun' Hosts Third Pop-Up Store at Hyundai Department Store Mokdong

Actor Ryu Soo-young, known as the owner of a $66 million building, is currently starring in T-Cast E Channel's 'Ryu Student Eonam Sun,' which will host its third pop-up store at Hyundai Department Store Mokdong from July 12th (Saturday) to July 20th (Sunday).

Ryu Soo-young, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Ki-hyun are ready to meet fans with three 'Ryu Student Recipes' developed in Sicily, Italy, and the traditional Italian sherbet dessert, 'Blood Orange Granita.'

In the July 7th broadcast of 'Ryu Student Eonam Sun,' the first of the three 'Sicilian Ryu Student Recipes,' Ryu Soo-young's 'Popcorn Squid,' was revealed. Inspired by the 'Popcorn Octopus' he tasted at a market, Ryu Soo-young created 'Popcorn Squid,' featuring chewy squid tempura and popcorn powder. His secret mayo sauce adds an addictive flavor, making it a memorable recipe for Ki-hyun, who praised it during the show's press conference. On the July 7th broadcast, Ki-hyun remarked, "If we don't release it soon, movie theaters might steal it."

Yoon Kyung-ho, a rising star in the culinary world and known as the 'dedicated sniper,' will present 'Sicilian Eggplant Caponata Chicken.' The 'Caponata,' a popular Sicilian dish with a sweet and sour taste from eggplant and tomatoes, was passed down by a Sicilian master. 'K-Dad' Yoon Kyung-ho adds chicken to create a unique home-style meal.

Additionally, 'Dessert Prince' Ki-hyun, who has dedicated his life to desserts, has prepared 'Caramel Pistachio Tiramisu.' On the July 7th broadcast, Ki-hyun revealed that he became a 'nut lover' due to his father's influence, stating, "I even ate roasted almonds as a snack during my military service." The special tiramisu recipe, featuring pistachios grown in Sicily's rich volcanic soil, will delight viewers.

Finally, the sherbet dessert 'Blood Orange Granita' is ready to beat the summer heat. In the upcoming July 14th (Monday) episode of 'Ryu Student Eonam Sun,' Ryu Soo-young, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Ki-hyun will take on the traditional Italian dessert 'Granita' using Sicilian 'Blood Oranges.' Visitors to the pop-up store can taste this sweet and tangy sherbet dessert before it airs.

The pop-up store will also feature a 'No-Loss Roulette Event' with Shopping NT, offering visitors a 100% chance to win store credits. Additionally, by uploading photos of Sicilian Ryu Student dishes on Instagram with the required hashtags, participants can win 'Ryu Student Eonam Sun' merchandise packages through a draw. Various merchandise, including official hats, t-shirts, and aprons, will be available. More details can be found on the E Channel 'Ryu Student Eonam Sun' event page and at the pop-up store.

Meanwhile, 'Ryu Student Eonam Sun' has successfully completed two previous pop-up stores with Porto-themed Yeouido The Hyundai Seoul and Brunei-themed Hyundai Department Store Pangyo. Ryu Soo-young, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Ki-hyun personally handled menu sales and interactions with viewers, fostering a special connection. The 'Cooking Trio' will once again take the stage at the Sicilian-themed third pop-up store, held from July 12th (Saturday) to July 20th (Sunday) in front of the Wine Works store on the first floor of the Hyundai Department Store Mokdong annex.

T-Cast's 'Ryu Student Eonam Sun' airs every Monday at 9 PM on E Channel.
