‘National MC’ Jeon Hyun-moo was treated coldly and called a scammer.

In episode 5 of ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2’ (jointly produced by MBN and Channel S) on the 8th, as Jeon Hyun-moo started the second day of the ‘Jirisan One-Lapse Special’ with Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), an emergency situation occurred where he was rejected for casting with a compliment he had never heard before.

On the second day in Jirisan, Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube walked along a quiet street in Sancheong-gun from early in the morning. Kwak Tube said, “Of all the places I‘ve been to on ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan’, this one felt the most rural” and Jeon Hyun-moo agreed, saying, “This is the perfect place for people who are tired of people.” Then Jeon Hyun-moo said, “Oh! He quickly heads to a restaurant, saying, “The smell of shiraegi soup!” and starts filming a “hit the spot” shoot. However, the owner shocks Jeon Hyun-moo by saying, “I have no intention of introducing (our restaurant)” and “There are a lot of scammers who say they are from a broadcasting station,” and rejects him. Even the “Jeon Hyun-moo technique,” which has been successful in booking restaurants based on name recognition and intimacy, is no longer working, and in this unprecedented crisis, Jeon Hyun-moo even stutters, so there is extraordinary interest in whether he will be able to persuade the owner.

Meanwhile, the two eat a “wild vegetable set meal” consisting of a total of 20 dishes, including 5 kinds of vegetables and 6 kinds of pickled vegetables, at a restaurant. Jeon Hyun-moo, surprised by the fresh and light-tasting wild vegetables, asks the owner, “Where did these wild vegetables come from?” and the owner explains the unique strengths of this place. Right after, as Jeon Hyun-moo was tasting the wild vegetables again, he suddenly stops and says, “Gasp!” and then recommends to Kwak Tube, “Try this. I wonder what your reaction will be,” and his curiosity grows for some reason. After tasting all the wild vegetables, he eats wild vegetable bibimbap with the owner’s personally pickled “herbal red pepper paste.” While diligently mixing the rice, Jeon Hyun-moo lets out a deep sigh and says, “So this is where my carbohydrate restriction falls apart,” making everyone laugh.

How will Jeon Hyun-moo overcome the casting crisis at a famous restaurant in Sancheong-gun? The story of the second day of Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube‘s ‘Jirisan One-lap Special’ can be found on the 5th episode of the MBN·Channel S jointly produced entertainment show ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2’, which airs on the 8th (today) at 9:40 PM.
