'Prince of the Sea' Yeon Woo-jin unleashes his long-hidden tateo-man charm and a surprise forearm-bulging physique in front of seafood. Kwon Yul summons "memories of Eulwangri" and grills Yeon Woo-jin about his past, heating up the scene.
Today (18th) at 9:20 p.m., the ChannelS and SK Broadband co-production The Taste Musketeers will reveal a chaotic gourmet travelogue unfolding in Itoshima, a romantic resort near Fukuoka, Japan. Itoshima is a travel destination known for its quaint small-town Japanese atmosphere, emerald-blue seas that guarantee picture-perfect shots, and fresh seafood cuisine.
Kwon Yul, Yeon Woo-jin and Lee Jung-shin head to a seafood specialty restaurant highly recommended by locals. But usually calm and shy Yeon Woo-jin's expression changes when grilled seafood appears. He asserts his dignity as a native of the "sea city" Gangneung, saying "You can eat clams as soon as they open their mouths." Then he suddenly jumps up and, in a "super serious mode," grills the seafood himself, showing a macho side. When Kwon Yul hands him food, Yeon Woo-jin displays the savvy of saying "the pros take theirs here" and uses a clam shell as a small plate. Watching this, Kwon Yul probes his seafood skills, saying "Do you have some memories from Eulwangri?" Lee Jung-shin adds to the fun by imitating Yeon Woo-jin, saying "When we ate yakiniku his range of movement was 50 centimeters, but when seafood came out he stood up and...", prompting laughter.
When Lee Jung-shin asks, "Hyung, you're a sea man, right?" Yeon Woo-jin strongly denies it, saying "I'm a very urban man. I read books and was shy..." But he immediately surprises everyone by performing a "bursting masculinity" feat, effortlessly pulling out a hot giant conch. Kwon Yul admires, "Look at those forearms cracking open clams!" and Lee Jung-shin offers endless respect, saying "You can trust hyung with seafood." The "shy prince" Yeon Woo-jin's reversal into a rugged sea man in front of seafood can be seen on the broadcast.
Meanwhile, the three visit a hot-spot restaurant popular with Japan's MZ generation and encounter an unexpected person. When Kwon Yul remarks, "The staff member is handsome," Lee Jung-shin exclaims in surprise that he looks like Japan's top actor Oguri ?��? . But the staff member's reply shocks the three even more. Kwon Yul repeatedly worries, "Is it okay if this airs on broadcast?" The question of what the bombshell remark from the staff member who resembles Oguri ?? will be, and the irresistible cuisine he presents that completely captivates the three, can be seen in the Fukuoka and Itoshima gourmet travelogue on Thursday, Sept. 18 at 9:20 p.m. on ChannelS's The Taste Musketeers.
