'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3' features actor Shin Hyun-jun addressing the controversy (or not) over his role reversal with Lee Wan in 'Stairway to Heaven'.

In the 33rd episode of MBN·Channel S 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3' airing tonight on the 29th, Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), along with their food-travel buddy Shin Hyun-jun, are shown embarking on a food trip to Gwangju, South Jeolla Province.

On this day, they enter the 'Now I Can Speak Out' segment and engage in unrestrained conversation. During the trip, Kwak Tube says, "I saw a 'role reversal' video on Shorts," and brings up 'Stairway to Heaven' (2003), Shin Hyun-jun's starring drama that sparked the Hallyu wave. Recently, online discussions have once again spotlighted Lee Wan, the younger brother of actress Kim Tae-hee, as one of the most famous 'role reversals' in the drama industry. The scene in 'Stairway to Heaven' where Lee Wan, who played a child actor, transforms into Shin Hyun-jun as an adult — a 'merry-go-round' moment — remains widely discussed to this day.

Responding to this, Shin Hyun-jun shared his candid feelings, saying, "My mother still doesn't understand (the role reversal rumors)," bringing laughter to the audience. He then goes on to reveal the behind-the-scenes story of how Lee Wan, known as 'Kim Tae-hee's younger brother,' was cast as his child actor counterpart.

Shin Hyun-jun further added, "These days, 'Stairway to Heaven' is airing in South America and causing a stir. If you go to Peru, you can't even walk five steps." This remark highlighted the drama's enduring global popularity, surprising both Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube.

'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3' Episode 33 will air tonight at 9:10 p.m. on the 29th.
