'Jun Hyun-moo plan 3' Jun Hyun-moo-GwakTube stimulated viewers' senses with a Gyeongju food trip with Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon.
On the afternoon of the 26th, MBN·Channel S 'Jun Hyun-moo plan 3' episode 11 featured Jun Hyun-moo-GwakTube (Gwak Jun-bin) and 'eating friend' Hyoyeon on a food trip uncovering hidden restaurants in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangnam-do. They treated the home audience to gastronomic pleasures by consecutively targeting a 'regulars only' raw fish restaurant without a signboard or menu, squid & chicken bulgogi with an explosive charcoal flavor, and an unexpectedly specialized 'fresh anglerfish' restaurant.
That day, Jun Hyun-moo, who arrived in Gyeongju full of sights, activities and food, said, "We don't go to ordinary restaurants. From the first course it's a 'unique restaurant' top tier," expressing confidence. The owner of a restaurant that didn't even appear in portal searches and had no signboard or menu initially refused, saying, "We only take regulars," but Jun Hyun-moo won permission to film with a bold request: "Consider us regulars and give us anything." Before the mukbang, Jun Hyun-moo made an 'MZ sauce' by mixing fermented fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic, chili, wasabi and chojang to heat up the mood. After tasting the flounder, stonefish and olive flounder raw fish, GwakTube said, "I didn't expect raw fish in Gyeongju," surprised, and Jun Hyun-moo said, "We catch people off guard like this," bursting with confidence.
After warming up with a 'morning sashimi,' the two met 'eating friend' Hyoyeon and headed to the next restaurant. In a quiet neighborhood off the tourist area they found a restaurant with as many as 12 teams waiting and couldn't hide their surprise. After the wait they met squid & chicken bulgogi and the three exploded with happiness, saying, "The direct-fire aroma is amazing." During the mukbang Hyoyeon said, "Last year I did two U.S. tours as a DJ. My stage name is DJ HYO," updating fans on her activities. She added, "In France they had trouble pronouncing 'Hyo' so they called me 'yoyun, yoyun.' At first I didn't realize they were calling me," sharing a bittersweet anecdote that sent the set into a frenzy.
While the three were moving to the next restaurant, GwakTube opened the door to blunt marriage talk, saying, "(Girls' Generation) was famous as the only girl group in their late 30s not to have married, right?" Hyoyeon replied, "The members are all busy.." but honestly added, "I feel like I'll get married soon. I have a dream about marriage," drawing attention. At the fresh anglerfish specialty restaurant that followed, they enjoyed abundant anglerfish boiled meat and steamed dishes and expressed admiration. There Hyoyeon asked the 'new groom' GwakTube about his 'plan for children,' and GwakTube shyly answered, "Soon a birth..," causing laughter. Jun Hyun-moo stoked the fire, saying, "Hyoyeon said her goal is to have a baby."
The marriage talk heated up. Jun Hyun-moo asked, "At what age do you want to get married?" and Hyoyeon replied, "Shouldn't it be by 39? What do you think?" Caught off guard by the marriage offensive, Jun Hyun-moo said, "What can I say.." while embarrassed, but offered realistic advice: "If the leading digit changes to 4 it's a big hit. It's better to get it done while the first digit is still 3." Eventually the two even made a bet on 'who will marry first,' heating the mood.
GwakTube also asked, "When Girls' Generation members meet, who pays for the meal?" and Jun Hyun-moo pushed, "Hyoyeon would pay. She earns the most~" Hyoyeon coolly replied, "I think Yoona and Taeyeon earn more (than I do). We meet on birthdays or for celebrations, and the person who suggested meeting pays. We each try to pay." Jun Hyun-moo asked, "The members never fought with each other, right?" and Hyoyeon said, "We treat each other like long-time lovers. In the early days we were so busy we didn't fight. After schedules we'd come back to the dorm and it was like an MT and we'd play together," revealing the secret to their 18-year longevity. She added, "When Yoona was busy filming a drama and could only sleep 2~3 hours, we hadn't been sleeping either; when she saw us she seemed to regain strength," revealing the deep friendship that supports each other and adding warmth.
As they wrapped up a food trip full of hidden Gyeongju restaurants and candid talk, the preview that followed showed Jun Hyun-moo and GwakTube searching only for authentic restaurants in Daegu with a Daegu-born 'eating friend,' raising expectations for the next broadcast. /
