Actress Ji Ye-eun, who is in an open relationship with dancer Bata, confesses that she wants to prepare the meal enjoyed by "King of Longevity" Youngjo for her boyfriend.

According to a representative of TV Chosun's variety program 'What Did the King Eat?' on the 21st, the third episode airing on the 22nd will reveal the 'Longevity Meal' enjoyed by Youngjo, Joseon's longest-reigning king who lived to be 83 years old.

History instructor Choi Tae-seong stated, "The average life expectancy at that time was in the mid-40s. Yet Youngjo lived to 83," adding, "In today's terms, that would be over 100 years." He further expressed anticipation about the identity of the meal that made Youngjo Joseon's greatest 'King of Longevity.'

He continued by explaining that amidst controversies over legitimacy, Youngjo was meticulous in everything he did throughout his life, even treating food as a shield to protect his throne. He also sought to unify Joseon through the 'Tangpyeong Policy' to end factional conflicts.

Upon hearing the term "Tangpyeong Policy," Ji Ye-eun boldly asked, "I've heard of Tangpyeongchae a lot. Isn't that food?" Choi Tae-seong responded, "'Tangpyeongchae' was named after the 'Tangpyeong Policy,' which aimed to unite divided factions into one," praising her for not being entirely wrong.

On this day, a healthy meal recreating Youngjo's actual dining table was served, including Tangpyeongchae. Tangpyeongchae is a royal dish where various vegetables are individually seasoned and stir-fried separately, then mixed with green mung bean jelly to highlight the unique charm of each ingredient.

Comedian Shin Gil-ru, known as a 'Ganggyeong Meat Lover,' exclaimed, "Even though I put together all the vegetables I dislike, it still tastes delicious," showing he was completely captivated by Tangpyeongchae. Ji Ye-eun, representing 'MZ tastes,' was so taken with the flavor that she shouted for a refill.

Especially after hearing the explanation that "Tangpyeongchae is a labor-intensive dish where ingredients are not stir-fried all at once but prepared and seasoned individually," Ji Ye-eun showed interest by asking, "Is it hard to make?"

Comedian Yang Sang-guk then asked, "Are you making this for your boyfriend?" Upon which Ji Ye-eun replied, "How did you know?" while revealing a shy smile, turning the scene pink.

Shin Gil-ru added, "When you see something delicious, you can't help but think of someone and ask for the recipe," prompting Ji Ye-eun to boast, "Where else would you find a woman like me?" eliciting laughter from everyone.

Youngjo's meal as Joseon's longest-reigning king will be revealed through an airing on the 22nd at 10 p.m.
