MBC‘s ‘I Live Alone’ Jeon Hyun-moo receives an extraordinary Korean birthday feast from the ‘Queen of Dim Sum’ Chef Ji-sun Jeong.

On the MBC ‘I Live Alone’ (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Park Soo-bin, Lee Kyung-eun, and Moon Ki-young) airing at 11:10 PM today (the 15th), Jeon Hyun-moo celebrating his 47th birthday and Lee Jang-woo setting off on his first solo yacht voyage will be revealed.

In the video released before the broadcast, Jeon Hyun-moo is seen riding a bicycle into a restaurant on the eve of his 47th birthday. The person who greets him is none other than Chef Ji-sun Jeong, ‘Korea’s first female Chinese chef’ and also called the ‘Queen of Dim Sum’. Jeon Hyun-moo introduces Chef Ji-sun Jeong with affection, saying, “She’s like a loyal younger sister who takes good care of me even though she’s noisy.”

Chef Ji-sun Jeong bursts into laughter at the sight of Jeon Hyun-moo in his cycling outfit and guides him to a warm room, where Jeon Hyun-moo is surprised at the unexpected sight before his eyes. Chef Ji-sun Jeong, who found out that Jeon Hyun-moo’s birthday was coming up soon, prepared a Korean birthday meal just for him.

The birthday meal, which is reminiscent of a king’s table, including seasoned marinated crab, japchae, braised flatfish, birthday seaweed soup, and a custom-made cake, steals the spotlight. Park Na-rae says, “This is amazing! I’m even more grateful that a Chinese chef is making Korean food,” and Key says, “This is a feast?! It’s even more touching because it’s not a restaurant menu,” expressing envy. Jeon Hyun-moo then brags about his younger sister, saying, “Ji-sun has both Korean and Japanese cuisine licenses.”

When Jeon Hyun-moo says, “This is a Chinese restaurant! I‘ll just have one Jajangmyeon~,” Chef Jung Ji-sun nonchalantly hands him a spoon, saying, “It’s my birthday, how can I just pass by~?” Chef Jung Ji-sun jokes, “Then please go back,” to Jeon Hyun-moo, who doesn‘t know what to do with his gratitude and apology, making people laugh.

Park Na-rae, who has “big hands,” exclaims, “That’s cool,” as Chef Jung Ji-sun carefully prepares the dishes, saying, “It‘s a meal, so this much has to be done.” Jeon Hyun-moo and Chef Jung Ji-sun’s ‘sibling chemistry’, who prank and joke around with each other, have raised expectations for what kind of stories they will share in the future.

In addition, Lee Jang-woo is shown setting off on his first solo voyage as a ‘captain’. When Lee Jang-woo wakes up with a puffy face as if he had a good night‘s sleep, Jeon Hyun-moo says, “It’s ramen!”, causing an outburst of laughter.

When it is revealed that Lee Jang-woo woke up on a yacht in the sea, the Rainbow members burst into exclamations. Lee Jang-woo, who greeted the morning on a yacht anchored in the sea, prepares for his first solo voyage all by himself. Lee Jang-woo, who obtained his yacht pilot‘s license in May of last year, has been practicing steadily for his dream of traveling the world without a motorized vehicle.

As Lee Jang-woo prepares for a solo voyage while reminiscing about what he has practiced so far, Park Na-rae reacts even more nervously, saying, “There’s no one to check on you.” As he unties the ropes one by one, the yacht starts to rock, but Lee Jang-woo calmly prepares to set sail and begins to steer. At this, Ahn Jae-hyun says, “You‘re like 007!” Cool~ He looks like James Bond,” he said, expressing his anticipation for the first departure of the ‘Captain Lee Jang Woo Ship’.

The appearance of Jeon Hyun-moo and Chef Jeong Ji-seon, who are like ‘real siblings’, and Captain Lee Jang-woo, who is excitedly setting off on his first solo voyage, can be seen on ‘I Live Alone’, which airs tonight (the 15th) at 11:10 PM.
