Singer Kangnam, who is in his first year of naturalization as a Korean citizen, will appear on ‘Jun Hyun-moo‘s Plan 2’ and experience the essence of Korean food in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do.

On the 19th episode of ‘Jun Hyun-moo’s Plan 2’ (jointly produced by MBN and Channel S), which will air at 9:10 PM on the 28th (Friday), Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin) who visited Andong for the 38th time will go on a food trip with their ‘foodie friend’ Kangnam.

On this day, Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube will visit a restaurant with a single menu, ‘Seonji Gukbap’, inside the Andong Market and show off a mouth-watering mukbang. Kangnam, a ‘foodie friend’, who joined right after, says “When I come to Andong, I crave dried mackerel or soup”, and upon hearing this, Jeon Hyun-moo says “Then let‘s have guksi. I’m so curious about Andong guksi” and starts talking.

However, Kangnam tilts his head and says “What is guksi? It‘s the first time I’ve heard of it~”. After explaining that ‘guksi’ is ‘noodles’, Jeon Hyun-moo asks, “You‘re serious about Japanese people, right? Oh, but are you Korean now?”.

Kangnam then says, “It’s been a year since I became Korean. I don‘t have a Japanese passport anymore. (You can’t have dual citizenship [in Korea and Japan])”.” In particular, Kangnam arouses curiosity by honestly confessing the best thing about naturalization, saying, “I achieved the thing I was most envious of (after naturalizing), and what was it?”

After a while, the three arrive at the famous ‘Andong Guksi’ restaurant. Just seeing the aura emanating from the restaurant‘s exterior, Jeon Hyun-moo suddenly goes into ‘cringe mode’, saying, “I won’t be casting you here”. In fact, the restaurant owner closes the door, saying, “You don‘t have to film. Just leave”, shocking everyone. Jeon Hyun-moo, who has been traveling around the country and has risen to the level of ‘Jeon Hyun-moo-gi’, throws a word to Kang-nam in the midst of a tense crisis, and upon hearing this, Kang-nam immediately bursts out in anger, saying, “This is the first time I’ve ever felt this upset on filming”, raising curiosity about what they talked about.

After much difficulty, the three of them enter a local restaurant serving Andong guksu with a 30-year tradition and order hand-made noodles and perilla leaf noodles. At this point, Kang-nam says again, “I didn‘t know there was such a thing as Andong guksu”, and Jeon Hyun-moo attacks, saying, “What would a Korean not know that~”. At this, Kang-nam gets angry and boldly throws out a question from the naturalization test, and Jeon Hyun-moo, who has been thinking for a while, eventually asks, “Give me a hint”. As the tables have turned, Kang-nam asks, “You’re asking me, a Japanese person, for a hint? He is full of energy, saying, “Shouldn‘t you know it since you’re an announcer?” When Kwak Tube, not Jeon Hyun-moo, finally says the correct answer, Jeon Hyun-moo sneakily intercepts the answer and claims, “I got it right,” making everyone laugh.
