Kim Jong-min‘s Love Story Revealed “11 Years Younger Bride, First Meeting...” (Jeon Hyun-moo’s Plan 2)
The new groom Kim Jong-min of ‘Jun Hyun-moo‘s Plan 2’ has revealed his love life.
In the 24th episode of the full-fledged street food documentary ‘Jun Hyun-moo’s Plan 2’ (jointly produced by MBN and Channel S) that aired on the 4th (Friday), Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), who are the first ‘Jun Hyun-moo‘s Plan’ to go on location in Japan, the second part of the food trip was revealed as they discovered a delicious restaurant in the small Japanese city of Tokushima with ‘new groom’ Kim Jong-min, who is getting married on the 20th, and ‘1.2 million YouTuber who knows Japan well’ Manager Matsuda. They visited a local specialty, a ‘Salted Wakame Udon’, a ‘Sushi Artisan’ restaurant with 62 years of tradition, and a traditional sake brewery with 220 years of tradition.
At this point, Kim Jong-min handed out wedding invitations. The invitation had Hermann Hesse’s poem ‘If I’ written on it, which caught people‘s attention. Jeon Hyun-moo asked, “How did you first meet (your bride-to-be)?”, and Kim Jong-min said, “A friend of mine suddenly told me to come out for a moment. I went out that day and saw (your bride-to-be) for the first time”,“ and told the ‘story’ of their first meeting. Jeon Hyun-moo then said, “I know you, so the reason I waited is because I like you’,”and Kim Jong-min said, “He told me I was cute. So I asked for your number,” he recalled.
Kim Jong-min also showed affection for his bride-to-be, saying, “She doesn’t do things I dislike and is wise.” In particular, he bragged, “I can be indecisive, but (the bride-to-be) said, ‘I love you despite that.’” Hearing this, Jeon Hyun-moo said, “That‘s cool. It’s not that she loves me ‘because of that,’ but ‘despite that.’ I really like those words.”
Then the production team asked, “Have you never heard of it?” and Jeon Hyun-moo earnestly replied, “No. I‘m looking for ’despite that,‘” making everyone laugh. Jeon Hyun-moo then said, “There’s been a huge blow recently. ”My bachelor line, Jo Se-ho, and Kim Jong-min are getting married, so I congratulate them, but my heart sinks,“ he confessed.
The next morning, they arrived at a cozy neighborhood in Naruto City and chose Japan‘s representative dish, ‘Udon’, as their first meal on the second day of their food trip. The three of them received a menu only in Japanese at a restaurant with ‘90 years of tradition’, and Kim Jong-min turned the place upside down by completing his order with just one word, “A great menu?”, in response to the request to ‘appeal to a sexy brain’.
A while later, the three of them showed off their fierce eating by receiving a table full of Kim Jong-min’s signature great menu consisting of Naruto udon, wakame (salted seaweed) udon, bukkake (cold) udon, and fried squid. After filling his stomach with udon, Jeon Hyun-moo shouted, ”Next, let‘s go to a sushi restaurant run by an elderly couple in their 80s that the udon restaurant owner recommended.“ At the sushi restaurant, the three ordered the ”Omakase for 3“, and the ”sushi artisan“ who has been running the restaurant for 62 years made sushi on the spot and placed it on their plates. The three kept exclaiming ”Oishi (delicious)“ at the feast of fresh and chewy sushi such as sea bream, shrimp, seasonal amberjack, horse mackerel, and gizzard shad sushi.
After finishing the sushi, Jeon Hyun-moo said goodbye to Kim Jong-min and greeted Manager Matsuda, a ”man who lives in Osaka“, saying, ”I have another food friend.“ Manager Matsuda said as soon as he appeared, ”We are going to a 220-year-old sake brewery now. I already got their cooperation in filming first. Here is a raw sake that you can only drink here,” he said, giving off a solid ‘foodie’ force. Afterwards, the three headed to a brewery that has been brewing sake for 10 generations since 1804 to sample various types of sake. ‘Liquor idiots’ Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube coughed after tasting the raw sake that Manager Matsuda mentioned, making everyone laugh.
While waiting for the side dishes after the tasting, Manager Matsuda said, “While watching ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan’, I thought, ‘How can you eat that food without a glass of alcohol?’,” revealing his regret. Then Jeon Hyun-moo said, “(My eating teacher) Shin Dong-yup always says that. However, he responded by saying, “Zero Coke is the best pairing for me,” and devastated the scene.
Still, Manager Matsuda suggested, “Let’s have a drink before the food comes out,” and Jeon Hyun-moo responded, “You really seemed like the manager just now.” In response, Kwak Tube said, “You’re a real office worker,” and Jeon Hyun-moo was surprised and said, “I thought you were a sub-character. I thought you were a YouTuber or a former comedian.” Immediately after, carpaccio made with sea bream from Naruto came out as an appetizer, and the three of them enjoyed the fancy snacks and drinks.
Next, Manager Matsuda activated his “Mazda Plan” mode by saying, “There’s a place I went to first last night. It was so delicious.” So where on earth did he take them? The scene of Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube, who finished their Tokushima food trip, appearing in Jeonju, the city of noblemen, will be revealed in the 25th episode of MBN and Channel S’s jointly produced entertainment show, ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2’, which will air on Friday, the 11th at 9:10 PM.
