‘Jun Hyun-moo Plan 2’ Jeon Hyun-moo and Jang Ye-won met up alone without Kwak Tube.

On the 10th episode of the full-scale street food documentary ‘Jun Hyun-moo Plan 2’ that will air on the 20th, the happy eating trip of Jeon Hyun-moo and his ‘13-year best friend, 13 years younger’ announcer Jang Ye-won and their ‘Gochujang Chueotang’ eating meeting will be revealed.

On this day, Jeon Hyun-moo opens the ‘Taste of Winter’ special alone without his ‘partner’ Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), and arouses curiosity by heading to the industrial complex in Gimpo. After walking for a while, Jeon Hyun-moo points to a ‘Gochujang Chueotang’ restaurant standing blankly in the field, saying “Ah! There it is.” After entering the restaurant, he waits for his ‘food friend’ of the day, when announcer Jang Ye-won opens the door and comes in, greeting him with “Hello~”, surprising him.

Jun Hyun-moo bursts into a bright smile and greets Jang Ye-won with “Why are you suddenly using formal language~ Do as you usually do”. He then asks, “You haven‘t eaten, have you?”, and Jang Ye-won replies, “I haven’t eaten. Today is a bit of a fateful day”, arousing curiosity by asking, “What do you look at first when you go on a blind date?”. Meanwhile, Jang Ye-won confesses her ‘Chueotang trauma’, and even Jeon Hyun-moo reacts by saying, “It‘s the same as me”, foreshadowing a ‘Great Mukbang’ that will be rough.

Finally, ‘Gochujang Chueotang’ with finely chopped loach and a pot of rice are served, and the two cautiously begin eating. During the meal, Jang Ye-won gives a warm compliment, saying, “Senior Jeon Hyun-moo is the type to give advice better than you think”. Furthermore, Jang Ye-won continues her confession that goes beyond imagination, saying, “When I talk to Jeon Hyun-moo and hang up, an hour and a half has passed. The really great thing about my brother is...”. Meanwhile, the long-awaited ‘Tongchueotang’ with whole loaches appears, and Jeon Hyun-moo, who scooped up a loach with a spoon, cannot hide his shock, saying, “Its spots are like Dalmatian”.

While curiosity is rising as to whether Jeon Hyun-moo and Jang Ye-won will be able to overcome their trauma and succeed in eating whole loaches, the two’s amazing eating show and tiki-taka can be seen on the 10th episode of ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan’, which airs on MBN and Channel S at 9:10 PM on the 20th (Friday).
