Actor Lee Jang-woo returns as "Countryside village Lee Jang-woo 3" five months after his wedding.
On the 15th, MBC released the official concept poster and second teaser video for the new variety show "Countryside village Lee Jang-woo 3."
"Countryside village Lee Jang-woo 3 (abbreviated as "Countryside village 3")" is the third regional regeneration project that will transform Buan into a place where Lee Jang-woo, who went to Buan to find the West Sea's "rice thief," runs around Buan, eats there and comes back again. Following season 1, which debuted as a four-episode series in 2024, and season 2, which expanded to five episodes last year, it returns as season 3 after about five months.
On MBC's flagship variety show "I Live Alone," Lee Jang-woo showed off his cooking skills using various powdered seasonings and was loved as the "powder prince," and with his unique passion for food and mukbangs he was adored alongside Jun Hyun-moo and Park Na-rae as the "palm oil siblings." Riding that popularity, he also presented the "Countryside village Lee Jang-woo" series. Now returning with its third season, attention is focused on Lee Jang-woo's growth and development.
Moreover, last November Lee Jang-woo married actress Jo Hye-won, with whom he had been publicly dating, becoming a newlywed. Also, when allegations arose that his sundae soup restaurant had unpaid bills for ingredients, he took the lead in explaining the situation and clearing up misunderstandings, showing growth as a restaurant operator. Because of this, anticipation is even higher for what he will show on "Countryside village 3."
In response, the released second teaser video, set in Buan, captured Lee Jang-woo's chase as he earnestly set out to find the "rice thief." Lee Jang-woo, almost like a policeman, stimulated culinary instincts as he sought Buan's "rice thief."
The poster released together drew attention with an image of Lee Jang-woo wearing a sea basket on a boat with the sea in the background. That hinted that Buan's seafood would appear as the "rice thief," increasing curiosity. <
