Kangnam, who is in his first year of naturalization in Korea, experiences the essence of Korean cuisine in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do.
The 19th episode of the full-fledged real street food documentary "Jun Hyun-moo Plan 2" (co-produced by MBN and Channel S), airing at 9:10 p.m. on the 28th (Friday), features the chaotic food trip of Jun Hyun-moo, Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), and "food friend" Kangnam, who visit Andong as the 38th street.
On that day, Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube visit a 'sundae gukbap' specialty restaurant inside Andong Market, showcasing a mouthwatering food broadcast. Shortly after, Kangnam joins them and states, "When I come to Andong, I crave either mackerel or soup," to which Jun Hyun-moo responds, "Then let's eat guksu. I'm really curious about Andong guksu."
However, Kangnam responds, "What is guksu? I've never heard of it," looking puzzled. Jun Hyun-moo explains that 'guksu' means 'noodle' and then quickly asks, "But you're a Korean now, right?" To this, Kangnam replies, "It's been a year since I became a Korean. I no longer have a Japanese passport. (Korea and Japan) do not allow dual nationality," revealing that fulfilling the most envied aspect of naturalization was something significant.
Shortly after, the three arrive at a restaurant famous for "Andong Guksu." Jun Hyun-moo, merely looking at the restaurant's exterior, exclaims, "I don't think we can film here," and suddenly turns into 'shy mode.' In fact, the restaurant owner shocks them by saying, "You don't need to shoot. Just leave," and closes the door. Having earned the title of a "street food docu-maker" traveling across the nation, Jun Hyun-moo throws out a comment to Kangnam during this tense moment, prompting Kangnam to immediately murmur, "It's the first time I've filmed with such disappointment," raising curiosity about their exchange.
After much effort, the three finally enter a local restaurant in Andong known for its 30-year tradition of Guksu, where they order hand-cut noodles and perilla seed noodles. At that moment, Kangnam reiterates, "I didn't know there was something called Andong Guksu," and Jun Hyun-moo replies in jest, "What if a Korean doesn't know that?" This prompts a defensive Kangnam to confidently toss out a naturalization test question, but after thinking for a while, Jun Hyun-moo ultimately asks, "Can I get a hint?" As the situation turns around, Kangnam boldly retorts, "You're asking me for a hint when I'm Japanese? Shouldn't you know since you're an announcer?" Eventually, when Kwak Tube, not Jun Hyun-moo, answers the question, Jun Hyun-moo slyly claims, "I got it right," leading to a 'total disaster party.'
The nonstop laughter chemistry of Jun Hyun-moo, Kwak Tube, and Kangnam during their "Andong Guksu" food broadcast can be seen in the 19th episode of MBN and Channel S's "Jun Hyun-moo Plan" airing at 9:10 p.m. on the 28th (Friday).
