In 'The Jeon Hyun-moo Project 2,' Jeon Hyun-moo delivered a 'brutal truth bomb' to comedian Kim Jun-hyun's daughter.
On the afternoon of the 14th, on the broadcast of the general programming channel MBN's reality street food documentary 'The Jeon Hyun-moo Project 2' episode 21, Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) met the 'national food god' Kim Jun-hyun to enjoy a food trip that cleared Jeon Hyun-moo's pick for a delicious tailbone soup restaurant in Yeongdeungpo, Kwak Tube's pick for a fried hamburger restaurant in Jamsil, and Kim Jun-hyun's pick for a beef restaurant. In particular, while scouting restaurants in Samcheong-dong, Jeon Hyun-moo faced a 'two consecutive shooting failures' situation that left him in 'mental breakdown,' but he quickly showed his ingenuity by redirecting to his favorite restaurant, receiving fervent support from viewers who commented, 'This is the ultimate reality show!' and 'I am immersed in the thrilling discovery and excavation of restaurants like never before.'
That day, Jeon Hyun-moo, who arrived at the 'all-weather MZ hot spot' in Samcheong-dong, Seoul, announced, "Today, we will have a special episode featuring a cow, the rival of pigs," implying a unique theme. Immediately afterward, he suggested, "Since it's morning, let's go eat gukbap," and they headed to a restaurant famous for its 52-year-old dogani soup. However, before they could even mention the shooting, they were rejected, and Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "There is always a restaurant next to a good restaurant!" as he sought out a nearby eatery. Unfortunately, this restaurant was closed as it hadn't opened yet. Having faced a historical first failure in two consecutive restaurants, Jeon Hyun-moo decided, "This won't do. Let's go for the tailbone soup," and moved to Yeongdeungpo. The place he recommended was a restaurant with a '47-year tradition,' where the two enjoyed a hearty bowl of tailbone soup with thicker pieces than the usual tailbone. Kwak Tube mixed rice into the soup and praised it, saying, "It has a really clean taste." Jeon Hyun-moo, with a shrug, confirmed, "There's absolutely no funky smell, right?"
After filling their stomachs with gukbap, the two moved to a recommended popular restaurant in Jamsil by Kwak Tube. On the way, Jeon Hyun-moo met his 'muk friend' Kim Jun-hyun and greeted him, while Kwak Tube revealed, "When I was in college, I often heard I looked like Kim Jun-hyun," showing a sense of familiarity. In the warm atmosphere, the three entered the restaurant 'Fried Hamburger,' located in Jamsil shopping district. They were moved by the old-school vibe of the restaurant where they could enjoy Japanese-style soup and various side dishes at a self-serve bar, and they ordered 'fried hamburger' and 'ultimate burger.' After tasting the food, they exclaimed, "It's really juicy!" as the juices burst with every bite. Kim Jun-hyun sincerely thanked Kwak Tube for bringing him to such a delicious place.
In the car on the way, Kim Jun-hyun entered 'dad mode' when asked about his children by Jeon Hyun-moo, saying, "They take after me, but they're beautiful." He then showed pictures of his two daughters, and Jeon Hyun-moo, after seeing them, humorously pointed out, "There's not a trace of dad's face on them!" but also complimented, "They are really pretty," creating a warm moment. Shortly after, they arrived at the food alley inside Yongsan Base. While walking down the street, Jeon Hyun-moo remarked, "I used to be in the U.S. military base behind that wall," and shared photos from his time serving as a Korean Augmentation To the United States Army (KATUSA). Reflecting on those memories, Jeon Hyun-moo later discovered that the restaurant next to where he had his military discharge party was the 'Kim Jun-hyun pick,' and was startled by the coincidence. Amid the surprise of the 'parallel eating theory,' they ordered the restaurant's signature 'whole beef tongue.' When the thick special beef tongue appeared, Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube widened their eyes in astonishment. After tasting a piece seriously, they all admired it. Kim Jun-hyun commented, "This beef tongue carries hints of heart flavor. I want to say the texture isn't 'gritty' but 'crunchy,' showing the poetic nature of food broadcasting." Kwak Tube respected him, saying, "You've been doing food shows for so long that I thought you'd get tired of flavor descriptions, but you've reached the realm of perfection!" Kim Jun-hyun humbly replied, "Honestly, I've also been doing this for 10 years, so it's just 'recycled content.'"
After the beef tongue, when the Hanwoo chuck flap steak came out, Kim Jun-hyun grabbed the tongs himself. He grilled the steak with the know-how of a 'food professor,' and Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube gave a 'thumbs up' after tasting it. Following that, Jeon Hyun-moo shared his own 'grilling philosophy' while cooking the meat. Kim Jun-hyun also applauded the meat grilled by Jeon Hyun-moo. Finally, they enjoyed 'garlic noodles' for dessert, showcasing a 'legendary noodle-eating' performance that tantalized viewers' taste buds. The teaser that followed showed 'food professor' Kim Jun-hyun and two mysterious professors stepping in as 'muk friends,' sparking curiosity.
