Today (12th) at 9 p.m., TV CHOSUN's Modern history of figures Mr. Lee (hereafter "Mr. Lee") will air, where MC Lee Kyung-kyu and Han Seung-yeon engage in a "perilla leaf debate." OTOKI's third-generation family anecdote will also be revealed.
On this episode, it is revealed that the recently popular "eating alone culture" actually began in the Joseon dynasty. Special MC Han Seung-yeon said, "Two side dishes are enough when eating alone," showing the demeanor of a "solo dining master." Also, regarding the "perilla leaf debate" that can be seen only on a "K-table," Han Seung-yeon said, "How can you turn a blind eye to someone else's hardship," which fanned the flames and led to a heated discussion. But Lee Kyung-kyu's scolding, "Don't put things like perilla leaves on the table!" brought the situation to a close and drew laughter.
When the story about the "K-table must-have" canned tuna came up, Han Seung-yeon exclaimed, "I can't resist tuna~!" and showed exceptional affection. Self-proclaimed "tuna maniac" Lee Kyung-kyu, when the story turned to the development history of Korea's representative tuna brand originating from Korea's deep-sea fishing industry, said like someone from Busan, "There were many sailors in Nampo-dong. When you go to bars they used to throw money around," recounting the heyday of sailors in the 1960s when they were the "top grooms," capturing attention.
Meanwhile, the backstory of OTOKI, which created the myth of "national convenience foods" such as three-minute curry and mayonnaise, was revealed. Musical actor-turned Hap Yeon-ji, known as OTOKI's third-generation, was roommates during school days with the granddaughter of rival company Nongshim, a revelation that made the stories of the two "ramen heirs" intriguing. In the ensuing ramen preference debate, when cast members shouted "It must be (ramen) the white one!" while chanting "Kkokkomyeon," Lee Kyung-kyu gave a proud thumbs-up, drawing laughter.<
