Broadcast personality Jeon Hyun-moo declared a halt to filming, surprising the production team.

In the second episode of MBN's variety program "This Is Hyun-rode," aired on the 27th, Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Jun's bold journey on their second day in Da Nang—following locals instead of tourists—and their unhesitating trip to Hue, known as the "Treasure of Vietnam," were revealed.

That day, the two discovered "Ba Vei Beach," a private beach exclusive to locals, instead of the overcrowded "My Khe Beach" filled with tourists, and enjoyed healing time. Later, they boldly skipped Da Nang's representative tourist spot, "Han Market," and headed straight for "Bach Mai Market," frequented by locals. To help "minimalist" Lee Jun switch from his so-called "Monami look," Jeon Hyun-moo personally selected clothes for him. Meanwhile, "19-year veteran actor" Lee Jun delivered a convincing overacting performance, successfully bargaining down a 5,500-won set outfit to 5,000 won, bringing laughter to the scene.

Jeon Hyun-moo also purchased comfortable clothing, and the two changed clothes in a fitting room barely concealed by a single curtain, exclaiming, "It's all visible!" before laughing awkwardly. Feeling almost completely natural and at ease, they strolled through Da Nang streets, experiencing a sense of liberation unavailable in Korea. Later, they thoroughly enjoyed local dishes such as banh can, banh xeo, and mi quang at an old restaurant in the market. Lee Jun exclaimed, "I haven't thought about Korean food at all," while Jeon Hyun-moo praised it even more highly, saying, "It tastes better than a Michelin one-star restaurant." In particular, after tasting gekkeol (avocado ice cream), which has taken over Vietnamese MZ reels, Lee Jun declared, "This is number one," giving a thumbs-up.

Peace was short-lived. When the two ventured into the bustling area to fulfill Jeon Hyun-moo's bucket list item—"massage"—they felt the imposing presence of what locals call "Gyeonggi Province Da Nang." Despite diligently avoiding Hangul signs and entering a massage shop, upon encountering Korean nationals, Jeon Hyun-moo took a bold step by declaring, "We won't film here." The two left the massage shop without cameras and proceeded to a seafood restaurant recommended by the staff.

There, they devoured generous local seafood dishes including crayfish, tiger shrimp, scallops, and steamed clams. Amidst exclamations of "Locals are the best!", Lee Jun expressed inner concern, saying, "I haven't thought about broadcasting since coming to Da Nang; I've just been having fun." In response, Jeon Hyun-moo stated his conviction on travel and broadcasting: "These days, viewers don't want to see people doing things just for a show. This place itself is amazing. Throwing myself into an environment completely different from Korea is what makes it healing."

After returning to their accommodation, Lee Jun enjoyed a fiery "shirtless swim" in the hotel pool. When Lee Jun urged Jeon Hyun-moo to join him in the water, Jeon Hyun-moo reacted with disgust, saying, "Two men swimming together? That gives me goosebumps," showcasing their extreme contrast chemistry.

The next day, the two headed to the train station to travel to Hue, known as both the "Vietnamese Gyeongju" and the "Treasure of Vietnam." Since the journey by train takes four hours, Jeon Hyun-moo revealed they had booked VIP seats, raising expectations. Once aboard, after briefly resting in a European-style cabin, they went straight to the snack car. There, when a local performer held a live stage, the two spontaneously started a dance party, moving to the music. After sweating it out joyfully, they enjoyed foot bath services while gazing at the beautiful scenery outside the train window, demonstrating the true essence of a unique train journey.

Upon arriving in Hue, the two rode xe om (local motorbikes) to a renowned spot for "com hen," a healing local food. On the street, a local approached Jeon Hyun-moo and said, "You're Jeon Hyun-moo, right? I've watched your program many times," making them feel his global recognition. In this warm atmosphere, after arriving at the restaurant, with help from a local customer at the next table, they ordered and enjoyed mung bean dishes including mun hen and com hen, along with "Vietnamese-style rice cake snack" ban beo. A local customer who recognized Lee Jun then said, "I saw you in a movie," showing familiarity. Lee Jun responded, "It feels strange because I'm not an idol but an actor," expressing gratitude. Moving away from flashy tourist spots, they naturally immersed themselves in the lives of locals and discovered the charm of "real Vietnam."

"This Is Hyun-rode" airs every Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
