The first episode of 'The Jeon Hyun-moo Project 2' featuring doctors leads Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube into a new world of mukbang.
The 22nd episode of the full-scale real street food documentary 'The Jeon Hyun-moo Project 2' (co-produced by MBN and Channel S), airing at 9:10 p.m. on the 21st, features Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) on a special 'One Round of Beef' segment, with cognitive psychologist Kim Kyung-il and neuroscience doctor Jang Dong-seon coming on board to analyze the world of flavors in an innovative food trip.
On that day, Jeon Hyun-moo, who appeared in Myeongdong, Seoul, said, "Here, 'food friends' are waiting for us. They are working as the Brothers and are very smart individuals," introducing the day's 'food friends.' Immediately after, when Jeon Hyun-moo spotted Kim Kyung-il and Jang Dong-seon standing in the midst of Myeongdong, he jokingly remarked, "Is there no sense of mystery here?" bursting into laughter as he found them. When the two introduced themselves with, "We are Kyungdong Brothers!" Jeon Hyun-moo responded, "The name is terrible," making them a bit dizzy.
Soon, Jang Dong-seon, who had regained his composure, said, "We have a place to go today. It's a spot known for its delicious food since 1976, serving bear soup noodles," and started the 'Jang Dong-seon Plan.' They headed toward Jang Dong-seon's 'pick,' a restaurant that serves bear soup noodles, securing a seat in a corner of the restaurant. For the first time in 'The Jeon Hyun-moo Project,' Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube collaborated with doctors to analyze the world of flavors, discussing substances like 'ghrelin,' released by the body when hungry. In the meantime, Jeon Hyun-moo, while chewing on a leaf of cabbage served as a side dish, unexpectedly confessed, "I used to eat a lot of cabbage, and my nickname back then was cabbage bug." At that, Kwak Tube asked, "Weren't you a study bug?" Jeon Hyun-moo honestly replied, "Not at all. I forced myself to study."
After a while, a bowl of 'bear soup noodle stew' made with fresh noodles was served, and the owner performed a skillful maneuver by personally retrieving the fresh noodles with chopsticks, causing the four to widen their eyes in amazement. Finally, Jeon Hyun-moo and the 'Doctor Bros,' Kim Kyung-il and Jang Dong-seon, began the mukbang, repeatedly exclaiming, "It's so delicious," while giving a thumbs up. Kwak Tube proudly stated, "This restaurant must definitely be in Myeongdong. When Japanese and Chinese people come, they will be amazed, saying, 'Wow, there is such a noodle dish in Korea.'"
The special segment 'One Round of Beef,' which thoroughly explored not only the 'Myeongdong bear soup noodles' restaurant but also the 'Michelin cold noodles' restaurant in Gangnam, can be seen in the 22nd episode of 'The Jeon Hyun-moo Project,' airing at 9:10 p.m. on the 21st.
