Jeon Hyun-moo and On Joo-wan Turn Daejeon into a 'Fun City' with a Culinary Adventure

Jeon Hyun-moo, Kwak Tube, and actor On Joo-wan transformed Daejeon into a 'fun city' with their culinary trip, captivating viewers.

On the October 10th episode of the real street food documentary 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3' (co-produced by MBN, Channel S, and SK Broadband), Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) embarked on a food trip in Daejeon with 'Daejeon's son' and Girls' Day Minah's husband, actor On Joo-wan. They completed the 'Daejeon Fun Course' by enjoying dishes like Park Sook Nakji Tang, Hamheung Naengmyeon, Samgyeop Ros, and Spicy Squid Soup, offering a delightful culinary experience to the audience.

Jeon Hyun-moo teased, "The first meal in Daejeon is at a place where you'd think, 'Really? People eat this?'" humming 'Heungbo is Amazing.' Kwak Tube humorously responded, "Are we eating magpies?" to which Jeon corrected, "Not magpies, swallows~" continuing their playful banter. Upon arriving at the 'Park Sook Nakji Tang' restaurant, Kwak Tube exclaimed, "Eating park? I've only seen it used to hit heads on 'Infinite Challenge,'" expressing surprise. As the dish was served, both were impressed by the chewy texture of the park, noting it was more tender than radish, and completed their meal with chewy octopus and noodles.

After the meal, Jeon Hyun-moo proposed a quiz contest on idiomatic expressions involving 'park.' Kwak Tube hesitated, "Compete with an announcer?" Jeon retorted, "Since when did you call me an announcer? You always say I'm a comedian!" adding humor. When Kwak Tube lost the quiz, Jeon playfully hit his head with a park, leading Kwak Tube to exclaim, "What is this? Did you bring a hammer?" causing laughter.

The duo then joined 'newlywed' On Joo-wan, who married Minah last November, at a 70-year-old Hamheung Naengmyeon restaurant. Jeon Hyun-moo, curious about On's marriage, asked, "How's married life?" On shared, "We married after five years of dating. Married life is wonderful." He added, "We didn't hide our relationship. Even when we held hands, there were no articles. We joked that the world wasn't interested in us." On revealed, "We first met 10 years ago on the drama 'Beautiful Gong Shim' and reunited in a musical. After practicing together for 10 hours a day, I confessed first."

As the conversation shifted from romance to food, bulgogi and Hamheung Naengmyeon were served, and a satisfying mukbang ensued. Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "This place proves Hamheung Naengmyeon is addictive." Following the meal, Jeon introduced another segment, 'Newlywed Match,' where On and Kwak Tube had to call their wives and get them to say 'I love you' first. On humorously asked Minah for romantic words due to the rain, receiving a playful response, "Why are you doing something you never do?" but Minah soon said, "Do you love me?" warming hearts.

Finally, the trio visited a 'Naengsam House' for Samgyeop Ros. Jeon Hyun-moo, watching On cook, asked, "Do you cook often?" On modestly replied, "I cook enough for myself." Jeon imagined, "Minah is asleep, and you wake up early to make aglio e olio..." describing a 'newlywed dream.' On humorously corrected, "I don't do that. I just make tomatoes and scrambled eggs for breakfast," revealing his real-life routine and causing laughter. The trio concluded their 'Daejeon Food Trip' with fried rice and spicy squid soup.
