Yook Sung-jae, appearing as a "food friend" on "Jun Hyun-moo plan 3," candidly reveals the moment of disillusionment he experienced while promoting with BTOB.
On the 24th episode of the full-scale real street food-umentary "Jun Hyun-moo plan 3" (MBN·Channel S·SK Broadband co-production), airing at 9:10 p.m. on the 27th (Friday), Jun Hyun-moo and KwakTube (Kwak Jun-bin) set out on a food trip in Yongin with BTOB's Seo Eun-kwang and Yook Sung-jae.
The four people who met in Yongin that day head to a restaurant recommended by Yook Sung-jae. While moving, KwakTube asks, "How many years has BTOB been together this year?", and Seo Eun-kwang replies, "14 years. The secret to our longevity is our youngest~," praising Yook Sung-jae.
Yook Sung-jae revealed, "In BTOB's early days, when music didn't go well, I succeeded by appearing on variety shows and dramas. Even then, the accounting was 'N-way split'," surprising viewers. Hearing this, Jun Hyun-moo probed his true feelings, asking, "Honestly, didn't you think about leaving the group?", and Yook Sung-jae confessed that he once felt so hurt that he agonized alone, saying, "There were times I felt really down," describing an experience of disillusionment.
As curiosity grows about what made Yook Sung-jae upset, Jun Hyun-moo asks about the restaurant, "When did you find out about the place we're going to?" However, Yook Sung-jae gives an unexpected reply, saying, "To be honest, I've never been there either," projecting a "Yook-tal-jo (Yook Sung-jae handsome idol)" vibe. When the embarrassed Jun Hyun-moo and KwakTube burst into laughter, Yook Sung-jae explained, "My mother (who lives in Yongin) always brings it as takeout." Immediately after, he calls the contact saved as "Mom♡" on his phone to confirm the restaurant.
Shortly after, they arrive at an acorn-based specialty restaurant strongly recommended by Yook Sung-jae's mother and are introduced to Yook Sung-jae's "favorite" acorn platter noodles. After tasting it with high expectations, Jun Hyun-moo exclaims, "This could become a regional dish of Yongin!" and offers unprecedented praise. The identity of the acorn platter noodles that unleashed Jun Hyun-moo's genuine enthusiasm can be seen on the 24th episode of "Jun Hyun-moo plan 3," airing at 9:10 p.m. on the 27th (Friday) on MBN·Channel S.
