In "Countryside village Lee Jang-woo season 3," actor Lee Jang-woo announced his first couple-appearance on a variety show with his wife Cho Hye-won five months after their wedding, revealing his recent condition.
On the 29th, MBC's new variety show "Countryside village Lee Jang-woo season 3 (abbreviated Countryside village 3)" aired its first episode. Lee Jang-woo, following Gimje in season 1 and Ganghwa in season 2, roamed around the countryside of Buan, Jeonbuk, looking for "bap thief".
The place Lee Jang-woo visited was Udok village in Buan. The village had only 47 residents, a small stream flowing in front of it, geese that moved in flocks as mascots, and even a heron that enjoyed solitude, making it a nature-friendly place. Lee Jang-woo joked, "Udok village has such a pretty name. If I have a son, I should name him I U-dok."
The lodging was also special. A spacious yard with an open garden view, a large main house with red bricks, and an annex made by remodeling a barn boasted the perfect countryside house interior. Lee Jang-woo marveled at the wood-toned country house interior with a lodge feel, saying, "Is the house really this nice? Amazing. The wooden feel is so good. The kitchen is so pretty. It's so nice."
While touring the village, Lee Jang-woo met a grandmother who dries dried persimmons at home, and he cheered at seeing Buan specialties such as pultchi and various salted seafood at the Gomsu seafood market. In particular, he visited a bakery famous for its "salt-steamed bread" made with sun-dried salt from Buan's salt farms. Among them, the bakery owner drew attention for having a build similar to Lee Jang-woo. Lee Jang-woo laughed, "People who say I look like them usually weigh over 100kg," and when the bakery owner proudly said he weighed 108kg, Lee Jang-woo rejoiced, "I weigh 103kg. I won," prompting laughter.
Visiting Buan's gim seaweed farm, Lee Jang-woo worked alongside the crew at a 600,000-pyeong-scale farm and met village grandmothers presenting gim dishes reinterpreted in his own way, such as gim soup, gim japchae, and gim jeon. The grandmothers still welcomed Lee Jang-woo by recalling his drama character "Ojaryong." They also offered blessings for the newlywed Lee Jang-woo's future children, saying, "This person also had the youngest child here." Lee Jang-woo expressed his desire for children, saying, "I'll get the energy and want to have a child," and, "I think I should introduce my wife," showing his eagerness for a second child.
In the teaser for episode 2 of "Countryside village 3" released after the broadcast, Cho Hye-won was shown visiting Udok village in Buan to see Lee Jang-woo, raising expectations. Cho Hye-won showed a spirited side by doing chores herself, from lighting the fire to chopping firewood, in place of Lee Jang-woo, who did not leave the kitchen. She also warmed hearts by expressing her desire for children, saying, "I want to have up to 00 children." <
