God leader Park Jun-hyung proved his leadership quality on 'It's a Relief to Rest.'
In the 43rd episode of the MBC entertainment program 'It's a Relief to Rest' (directed by Kim Myung-jin, Shin Hyun-bin, Lee Jun-beom, Kim Ki-ho / writer Kwon Jeong-hee / hereinafter 'It's a Relief'), which aired on the 7th, first-generation idols God Park Jun-hyung, Son Ho-young, H.O.T. Moon Hee-joon, Rula Chae-ri-na, Sugar Ayumi, and chef Lee Won-il operated a restaurant on a deserted island. According to Nielsen Korea, the broadcast recorded a rating of 4.9% (nationwide), the highest figure among all entertainment programs aired on Monday, allowing 'It's a Relief' to maintain its position as the strongest entertainer on Mondays.
That day, Park Jun-hyung declared to his younger members, who doubted his leadership, "I will truly demonstrate the quality of a leader today." The working operation as a leader involved fishing for flounder. Although they went to catch seasonal flounder, they only found other fish such as eel, croaker, and cod.
To support each other as they grew tired, Park Jun-hyung, Son Ho-young, Moon Hee-joon, and Chae-ri-na each sang the hit songs of God, H.O.T., and Rula as work songs, raising the atmosphere. As they sang to match the heated atmosphere on the boat, the long-awaited flounder finally appeared.
The excited captain immediately opened 'Bae Makase' to treat the workers to a snack. The special three-way combination of seasonal flounder sashimi wrapped with onion and seaweed made everyone's mouths water. The captain also prepared 'Eel Flounder Stew' with eel and croaker. Even Korean chef Lee Won-il marveled at the captain's cooking skills. Park Jun-hyung, who has appeared the most on 'It's a Relief,' expressed his feelings by saying, "This is the most delicious thing I've had on 'It's a Relief' so far."
That day, the deserted island restaurant was expected to have the highest number of visitors ever, so more ingredients were needed. Leader Park Jun-hyung set out on a new boat to secure octopus, continuing the momentum from the flounder fishing. However, despite the presence of first-generation idols H.O.T., God, Rula, and Sugar, an unprecedented situation occurred where only a single octopus was caught. Even Son Ho-young, known as the smiling angel, lost his smile, and Park Jun-hyung decided to quickly catch other ingredients to fulfill his leadership role.
First returning to the restaurant were Moon Hee-joon and Son Ho-young, who helped chef Lee Won-il with the cooking. The first menu item was 'Flounder Salad,' which mixed flounder with vegetables. To ensure customers felt full, they added somen to increase the quantity.
Next, they made 'Grilled Marinated Eel.' The guests were impressed as they mixed the spicy eel sauce with rice. Lastly, they prepared 'Spicy Seafood Soup,' which included eel, croaker, and flounder bones, simmered for 5 hours in a white broth, with red seasoning added. This dish featured special handmade dough with one caught octopus and fragrant perilla leaves.
Additionally, Park Jun-hyung quickly fried the crabs he caught with Chae-ri-na and Ayumi to use as a topping, enhancing the flavor. The overwhelming visual appeal of the food led Sim Jin-hwa, watching from the studio, to express curiosity, saying, "I'm curious," and experiencing dizziness. Son Ho-young amplified viewers' curiosity with the remark, "This is the most delicious food I've had yesterday and today."
Thanks to the cooperation of all the first-generation idols who worked together, the deserted island restaurant wrapped up successfully. It was a time when all the cast members admired Park Jun-hyung's leadership, which maintained stability and safely guided the restaurant operation through the crisis.
Meanwhile, the preview released at the end of the broadcast depicted an explosive restaurant operation with Boom, Jung Dong-won, Young-tak, and Yang Se-hyung, arousing anticipation. MBC 'It's a Relief to Rest' airs every Monday at 9 p.m.
