The joint eating show of Yoo Jae-suk, the ‘Lonely Picky Eater’, and Yutaka Matsushige, the ‘Lonely Gourmet’, from ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’, was captured.

On the upcoming 22nd broadcast of MBC‘s ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’ (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Lee Joo-won, Wang Jong-seok, Ahn Ji-sun, Bang Sung-soo/written by Noh Min-sun), a gourmet road with Japanese actor Yutaka Matsushige, famous for his role as ‘Goro-san’ from ‘The Lonely Gourmet’, will be depicted. Upon Yutaka Matsushige’s appearance, people said, “Goro-san is appearing on a Korean variety show. Korean: “I want to see it soon” is pouring in, raising expectations with responses from Korean and Japanese netizens.

The revealed photo catches the eye as it shows Yutaka Matsushige eating gwamegi with Yoo Jae-suk, Lee Yi-kyung, and actress Shim Eun-kyung at a restaurant in Seoul. Yoo Jae-suk replicates Goro-san‘s trademark mukbang reaction in ‘The Solitary Gourmet’, and the sight of Yutaka Matsushige happily watching is heartwarming.



Yoo Jae-suk reveals that he is a true fan and shyly confesses, “I don’t know how you‘ll like this, but we look alike”. He then approaches her, saying, “My nickname is ‘The Solitary Picky Eater’.” Yutaka Matsushige worries about Jae-suk Yoo’s strange(?) taste in food, saying, “People around him must be having a hard time,” and Jae-suk Yoo responds, “You must misunderstand me,” raising curiosity about what kind of conversation they had.

The joint mukbang of ‘Lonely Picky Eater’ Jae-suk Yoo and ‘Lonely Gourmet’ Yutaka Matsushige, which came to fruition, is raising expectations. While Yoo Jae-suk was moved by the comment, “I‘m eating gwamegi with Yutaka Matsushige,” Yutaka Matsushige focused attention on how Koreans, who also have very divided opinions, tasted gwamegi.

‘The Lonely Picky Eater’ Yoo Jae-suk and ‘The Lonely Gourmet’ Matsushige Yutaka meet on MBC’s ‘What Do You Do When You Play?’, which will air on Saturday, February 22nd at 6:25 PM.
