Jonathan, who appears on the new variety show "Where it will bounce," shared his impressions of dining with mukbang star Tzuyang.
ENA, NXT and ComedyTV jointly produce the new variety show "Where it will bounce" (hereafter "Where It Will Bounce"); without a fixed list or preplanned course, it is a no-booking life-of-no-booking restaurant relay show that visits 100% trusted real restaurants recommended directly by the best restaurant owners, and members selected to join the unpredictable restaurant tour are Kim Dae-ho, Ahn Jae-hyun, Tzuyang and Jonathan, drawing anticipation.
Meanwhile, Jonathan has drawn attention by showing special affection for "Where It Will Bounce" ahead of its first broadcast. Jonathan said, "The title fit me from the start. I'm the kind of person who doesn't know where I'll bounce next, so when they named the program that way I thought, 'It will be fun.' Actually, I decided to appear after seeing the title rather than the restaurants," and added, "I'm so grateful to be part of it and I'll pour out my passion."
Earlier, in a teaser video revealing an extensive list of restaurants and proving his gourmet credentials, Jonathan marveled at the nationwide scale of "Where It Will Bounce." Jonathan said, "My restaurant list was 'places you can order again for delivery right after trying,' but 'Where It Will Bounce' is scattered across the country, so it feels like an away game. There's the thrill of 'I have to take a train to taste this,'" raising expectations for the show's nationwide restaurant relay.
Another point of interest is the addition of Tzuyang, a top-tier mukbang creator with 12.4 million subscribers. On meeting her for the first time, Jonathan said, "As soon as Tzuyang nuna arrived, the looks in the three of our eyes changed. The tension that 'the real mukbang is starting now' rose instantly," heightening intrigue. He added, "I usually eat a lot, but in front of Tzuyang nuna I looked like I was on a diet. It felt like seeing the Messi of mukbangs in person; her class was different," giving a thumbs-up and raising expectations.
About the chemistry with Kim Dae-ho, Ahn Jae-hyun and Tzuyang, Jonathan said, "The roles naturally fell into place. Dae-ho hyung, who used to do news, now delivers restaurant news, Ahn Jae-hyun hyung eats deliciously like he's shooting a pictorial, and Tzuyang nuna eats endlessly. I'm in charge of reactions, and that seems to help lift the mood," adding, "Even during waiting times we only talk about food, like 'Have you been here?' or 'I like this combination.' It almost feels like a restaurant stock investment meeting," making viewers look forward to the fresh chemistry the members will show. Jonathan also hinted, "The real gourmet position belongs to Dae-ho hyung. He analyzes each meal seriously like a news anchor," amplifying curiosity.
Jonathan also named Jang Sung-kyu as a guest he would like to join the restaurant relay, saying, "He's one of the people whose reaction after eating I'm most curious about," sending a love call. He added, "I'll go anywhere, Haenam or Jeju, to eat something delicious," expressing his ambition. Jonathan boasted, "The four of us will show that 'people can get this serious over one thing to eat.' Since it's a combination that could bounce anywhere, watching our chemistry might be more fun than the restaurants themselves," and finally urged, "If you watch, you'll get hungry and laugh and have it all. Please give us your interest," elevating excitement for the unpredictable fun of "Where It Will Bounce" first broadcast.
Meanwhile, the ENA, NXT and ComedyTV joint production restaurant relay "Where it will bounce" will premiere on Sept. 21 (Sun.) at 7:50 p.m.
