Lee Seong-jae's entry into Jeju's food scene, transforming from someone who couldn't tell good food from bad to a true food connoisseur, will be revealed.
In Jeju baekban journey, Lee Seong-jae looks back on his acting career. He debuted in 1995 as a trainee actor through MBC's open recruitment and made his screen debut three years after his debut with the film 'The Zoo Beside the Art Museum,' sweeping newcomer awards at the time. Since then, in works such as 'The Gas Station Raid,' 'A Dog of Flanders,' 'Holiday,' and 'Public Enemy,' he showed mesmerizing acting ability by portraying a wide range of characters from charismatic roles to black comedy. Having established himself as a traditional actor who can transform into any role like a chameleon, he said, "I didn't need a long time to contemplate choosing what is the biggest life decision, my career."
Even for Lee Seong-jae, who has no limits from romance, action, to comedy genres, there are things that are difficult (?). Lee Seong-jae, who said, "I don't usually go looking for famous restaurants," surprised the host by saying, "When I'm hungry, anything tastes good and I'm grateful." Living apart for a long time with his wife and daughter in Canada, he often eats out or eats instant rice. But on this day, he reaches boldly for foods he usually wouldn't dare try. Unexpected taste descriptions such as "the fish tastes like snowflake bingsu" and "the conch is like cartilage" surprised the host. You can see a new side of Lee Seong-jae, who sincerely explores food (?), on the broadcast.
Meanwhile, Lee Seong-jae reveals news that he has retired from his long life as a father living apart (?). His daughter married and gave birth to a grandson, making him a "young grandfather" in his 50s. Despite the long distance, Lee Seong-jae, who places family above all, has something he doesn't share with his wife and two daughters (?): he does not enjoy the raw beef that his family likes. But on this day he tasted raw horse meat and fresh horse meat and fell in love. Trying horse meat for the first time, Lee Seong-jae praised it, saying, "It tastes like tuna sashimi," and even volunteered himself as a horse meat ambassador, creating laughter with his sincere enthusiasm for yukhoe.
The variety of Jeju foods that stimulated actor Lee Seong-jae's palate can be seen in the Jeju episode of TV CHOSUN's 식객 Heo Yeong만의 백반기행, airing on Sunday, the 7th, at 7:50 p.m.<
