Kim Ok-bin, terrified after claiming to be a local despite warnings… Man-eating fish → rat meat shock (Peruvian rice)

‘Jungle warrior’ Kim Ok-bin shows off her unstoppable mukbang.

On the SBS entertainment show ‘Jungle Rice 2 - Peruvian Rice’ (hereafter ‘Peruvian Rice’), which will air on Thursday the 6th, a journey of ‘tasty eating’ unfolds in the middle of the jungle. From legendary fish from ancient myths to man-eating fish, ingredients that can only be found in the Amazon will appear in large numbers.

During the filming, the two chefs, Choi Hyun-seok and Ryu Soo-young, who were dropped into the middle of the Amazon, visited the ‘Belen Market’, also known as the ‘Gathering of the World‘s Weirdest Foods’. They said that they were speechless at the shocking ingredients such as crocodile meat, giant rat meat, and grilled piranha displayed whole at the entrance and got a feel for the class of the Amazon market. Choi Daniel and Kim Ok-bin, who were present at the scene, also said, “It was the most shocking place I’ve ever seen in my life.”

MC Jeon Hyun-moo, who was watching, was shocked, saying, “This is ridiculous,” and “I‘ll cry if I go there.” Choi Hyun-seok made the studio burst into laughter by threatening, “Next season, I’ll definitely take the MCs with me.”

Among them, Chef Choi Hyun-seok, who visited the Amazon market for the first time in his life, is said to have fulfilled his 31-year culinary bucket list in the jungle. Even amidst the Amazon‘s monstrous delicacies, Chef Choi Hyun-seok is said to have tried not to lose his “gourmet inspiration.” In particular, Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t hide his excited smile when he discovered the “pirarucu,” the world‘s largest freshwater fish in the Amazon that weighs 100 kg. He also came up with a fine dining-style dinner menu on the spot and predicted the best jungle meal for the members. What will be the new ‘Amazon Fine Dining Course’ that will be born at the fingertips of Chef Choi Hyun-seok?

It was also reported that Choi Hyun-seok, Ryu Soo-young, and Choi Daniel experienced humiliation at the Amazon market. They were so scared of the unidentified monsters that they refused to taste the market food, passing it to each other. Only Kim Ok-bin boldly challenged everything from spicy peppers that locals warned against eating to various street foods of unknown origin.

Studio MC Jeon Hyun-moo criticized the other members, saying, “This is the first time in entertainment history that the members have not eaten from a market like this.” Ryu Soo-young, whose face turned red with embarrassment, made a belated excuse saying, “We were cowards,” and Choi Hyun-seok and Choi Daniel covered it up with laughter.

The SBS survival story of “Earning a Taste” that takes place in the middle of the Amazon, where the mystery and fear of Mother Nature coexist, “Peruvian Rice” will air on Thursday, the 6th at 9 p.m.
