"In the first overseas all-location of 'The Jeon Hyun-moo Project 2', Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube showcased the essence of local food trips in a small city in Japan, along with Kim Jong-min and IVE RAY."

"The 23rd episode of 'The Jeon Hyun-moo Project 2' (co-produced by MBN and Channel S), broadcast on the 28th, revealed the scene where Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), who went on their first overseas all-location in Japan, discovered local eateries in Tokushima with the 'new groom' Kim Jong-min, who is getting married in April, and RAY, a member of the 'Bap Sims' and an 'eating expert' of IVE. They explored everything from Tokushima's specialty 'Chuka Soba' to an okonomiyaki place highly recommended by RAY's friend, as well as a restaurant serving 'Awa beef' they found in downtown Tokushima, providing viewers with unique fun and healing experiences."

"On that day, the ‘food brothers’ Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube met Kim Jong-min at the Incheon International Airport departure hall before leaving for Japan. At that moment, Kwak Tube, who was the only one unaware of Kim Jong-min's 'food friend' appearance, was completely deceived by Jeon Hyun-moo and Kim Jong-min's antics, resulting in a hilarious ‘hidden camera’ humiliation from the start. The three then checked each other's passport photos, and upon seeing Jeon Hyun-moo's passport photo, Kim Jong-min remarked, 'You look like a Mexican gangster,' providing a 100% pure (?) review. Furthermore, after seeing Kwak Tube's passport photo, Jeon Hyun-moo commented, 'You really turned into a dragon. Can you enter with this?' causing an uproar. Meanwhile, all three expressed enthusiasm about discovering restaurants with a street interview in Japanese both in-flight and locally. During this time, Jeon Hyun-moo humorously assessed his recognition, stating, 'I get recognized in the Chinese-speaking regions, but it's easy to move around in Japan.'"

"Immediately after, the three headed to a 45-year-old traditional 'Chuka Ramen' restaurant recommended by locals after much deliberation. There, they were amazed to find the signature of world-renowned baseball player ‘Ichiro Suzuki’ inside the restaurant, marking the first success in overseas casting of ‘The Jeon Hyun-moo Project’. Shortly afterwards, when they finally met 'Chuka Soba' with pork bone broth, they exclaimed 'Wow' at its perfectly filled visual, and delighted in their dining experience with a combination of 'noodle-chashu-egg yolk'. After finishing a bowl cleanly by mixing the leftover broth with rice, they applauded, stating, 'It was even better since it was my first time having ramen.'"

"Then, Jeon Hyun-moo said, 'Today there’s another food friend,' and went to meet the second guest, IVE RAY. RAY remarked, 'This is my first time in Tokushima,' while expressing amazement, adding, 'A friend recommended an okonomiyaki spot,' activating her 'RAY Project' mode. Together, the four stepped into a 45-year-old restaurant where they could taste the essence of Tokushima home cooking, enjoying freshly made okonomiyaki on a large iron griddle. They were particularly impressed by the unique and deep flavor of the 'Snow White' okonomiyaki topped with grated yam."

"Next, Jeon Hyun-moo asked the owner of the okonomiyaki restaurant for recommendations, to which the owner suggested a local specialty 'Awa beef' restaurant. Following that, the four headed to the ‘Awa beef’ restaurant in downtown Tokushima and savored ‘Yakiniku’ while enjoying the true taste of Awa beef. Meanwhile, Jeon Hyun-moo, the 'MZ communicator', inquired, 'What are the MZ folks in Japan doing these days?' RAY replied, 'I did the 'Ribbon Pose',' and demonstrated it cutely. Subsequently, when 'Sukiyaki' was served, the four joyfully dipped raw eggs into it to enjoy their meal. Kim Jong-min exclaimed, 'This is the best among what we’ve had today,' giving a thumbs-up repeatedly."
