Today (31st) at 7:50 p.m., TV CHOSUN's 'Gourmet Heo Young-man's Baekban Journey' will take viewers to the colorful city of Sejong with 'original heartthrob' MC Jeong Jae-hwan. The contrasting aspects of Jeong Jae-hwan, the man behind the star who enjoyed the highest popularity of his time, are revealed, drawing attention.
MC Jeong Jae-hwan hosted the notable program 'Youth March' in the 1980s and 1990s with his stunning looks and eloquent speaking skills. He was referred to as a national MC alongside Shim Hyung-rae, Lim Ha-ryong, and Joo Byung-jin, and he reveals the story of how he abruptly disappeared from public life at the age of 40 to focus on his studies.
Meanwhile, a surprise Korean language quiz show will unfold with Jeong Jae-hwan, who has transformed into a keeper of the Korean language by crossing over from MC to comedian and professor. The guest seems flustered by sudden questions and unexpectedly performs well but also humorously misses the chance to guess correctly about his 80-year-old sister.
On the other hand, Jeong Jae-hwan, who was called a 'fully developed MC,' surprises with his image as a husband who can't do anything without his wife. He makes shocking remarks, saying, "I have never eaten crab meat alone in my life," and doubts even distinguishing between male and female crabs. Additionally, he talks about his eight years of obscurity and the hardships of living off a monthly grant of 72,000 won, stating, "It was because I had my wife at that time that I am who I am now," revealing the behind-the-scenes story of Jeong Jae-hwan, the man, not the star.
Meanwhile, actor Lee Seung-hyun, the protagonist of the 1970s teen movie 'High School Delinquent,' makes a surprise appearance. He received much love for his role as the nationwide number one troublemaker 'Nadusu' in that movie. Fans still flock to see him, unable to forget the Seung-hyun of that time. The current appearance of Lee Seung-hyun, the 'original teen star,' who enjoyed popularity on par with present day BTS and Park Bo-gum, will be revealed.
