Kim Jun-hyun Reflects on His Struggling Days in Emotional 'Delicious Guys' Episode

Kim Jun-hyun gets teary-eyed as he reminisces about his early days of struggle.

The 556th episode of Comedy TV's variety show 'Delicious Guys,' airing on the 13th, features the second part of the 'Ddongne Tour' special. Kim Jun-hyun, Moon Se-yoon, Hwang Je-sung, and Kim Hae-jun (collectively known as 'Ddongchinz') visit Daehangno, a place filled with Kim Jun-hyun's memories.

During the opening, the Ddongchinz share their personal memories tied to Daehangno, known as the 'sanctuary of comedians.' Kim Hae-jun recalls, "Aspiring comedians pooled money to perform," sharing stories of his pre-debut activities in Daehangno. Kim Jun-hyun also points around, saying, "I performed here and there, building my courage," reflecting on his intense days as an aspiring comedian.

As Kim Jun-hyun walks through the alleys of Daehangno with the Ddongchinz, he pauses at various spots, recalling memories associated with each place. Hwang Je-sung marvels, "Every square meter here holds so many of Jun-hyun's memories," while Moon Se-yoon adds, "Every five steps, a memory," piquing curiosity.

The Ddongchinz then visit a stew restaurant that Kim Jun-hyun frequented 20 years ago. Before entering, Kim Jun-hyun shares, "I used to rush in and eat during a 15-minute break between performances," recounting his small theater days and even taking part in filming arrangements.

Inside the restaurant, Kim Jun-hyun is seen getting emotional, his eyes welling up with tears, adding to the intrigue. 'Delicious Guys' airs at 8 PM.

Meanwhile, Kim Jun-hyun recently faced allegations of ignoring a fan on his way to work. A video surfaced showing him passing by fans at the broadcasting station entrance without acknowledging them, while greeting staff with a smile. This led to criticism from netizens about his attitude, though some defended him, arguing that a short video isn't enough to judge his character.
