On 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 4,' broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo revealed a popular restaurant and issued a public apology.

In the 20th episode of MBN·Channel S's 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 4,' broadcast on the afternoon of the 13th, MC Jeon Hyun-moo, Gwak Tube (Gwak Jun-bin), and actor Lee Hyun-wook featured in a special titled "The Dignity of Regulars." They explored everything from an old-school noodle shop known as a soul food spot for office workers in Samgakji, to singer Jo Jjae's "life-best pork belly restaurant," to Lee Hyun-wook's "10-year regular" Chinese restaurant, fully satisfying viewers' appetites.

That day, Jeon Hyun-moo and Gwak Tube, who had arrived in Samgakji, Seoul, declared the start of the "The Dignity of Regulars" special by saying, "Today, we're going to steal some regulars' favorite spots." The two then wandered through an alley that retained its old charm, eventually led by the strong scent of anchovy broth to an old noodle shop. After placing their orders, the two turned their attention to a newspaper clipping posted on the restaurant wall. The article told a heartwarming story about how the current owner's mother, the previous owner, had worried that a customer who fled without paying during the IMF crisis might get hurt, creating a warm atmosphere.

Subsequently, Jeon Hyun-moo tasted the shop's signature dishes—radish leaf soup, old-style gimbap, and on-guksu (noodles in broth)—and marveled at the subtle flavor of the radish leaves, giving a thumbs-up while saying, "This place is number one. The dignity of anchovy broth." He even went so far as to issue a public apology, stating, "We ended up introducing this place on our show. I won't be checking DMs (direct messages) for a while," which drew laughter.

For their next course, Jeon Hyun-moo and Gwak Tube headed to Euljiro. While walking, Jeon Hyun-moo gave a slight hint, saying, "Today's 'food buddy' is a king." Shortly after, the two happily greeted Lee Hyun-wook, the protagonist of the historical drama "Munmu." Seeing Lee Hyun-wook for the first time, Jeon Hyun-moo exclaimed, "He really is handsome," and then asked, "Do you come to the Euljiro area often?" Lee Hyun-wook replied, "I don't get many chances to walk around, and since I'm a homebody, I haven't been here much."

Jeon Hyun-moo explained, "The place we're heading to now is where Jo Jjae eats stir-fried pork belly seven days a week; it's called his 'life-best' pork belly restaurant." Upon hearing this, Lee Hyun-wook revealed a surprising eating habit, saying, "I also eat pork belly five days a week," which surprised Jeon Hyun-moo and Gwak Tube. Immediately after, the three became deeply engrossed in the taste of the stir-fried pork belly at a small old shop in Euljiro's printing alley, repeatedly marveling at its subtle sweetness and rich meat aroma, which served as a "kick."

While moving to their next restaurant, Jeon Hyun-moo asked Lee Hyun-wook, "Don't many people see your image as cold?" Lee Hyun-wook laughed and replied, "My iris color is light, so I look sharp. That's why I often played the role of a sociopath." Jeon Hyun-moo praised him by saying, "Your face looks like it's made of webtoon material, so you'd probably suit romance well too," to which Lee Hyun-wook self-disclosed, "When we were filming 'Mine,' the director watched my romantic acting and said, 'Mr. Hyun-wook, that's scary,'" turning the scene upside down. Amidst their explosive chemistry, Jeon Hyun-moo called Kim Nam-gil, Lee Hyun-wook's close senior colleague who belongs to the same agency. During the call, Kim Nam-gil described Lee Hyun-wook by saying, "Think of him as a different-looking Kim Nam-gil," which prompted protests from Lee Hyun-wook.

Shortly after, they arrived at a 'Mosari-sal' (corner-cut meat) restaurant in Chungjeongno alley and attempted to secure permission for filming, but ultimately failed. Lee Hyun-wook was surprised, saying, "That's real." After some deliberation, the three changed their plan to go to a Chinese restaurant in Eunpyeong-gu, which is Lee Hyun-wook's "favorite" spot. Having quickly secured permission at his regular restaurant, Lee Hyun-wook joked to Jeon Hyun-moo, "Brother, I succeeded (in getting permission). Can I brag a little?" Jeon Hyun-moo responded with, "You're really bragging~," showcasing their genuine friendship chemistry. Later, after tasting the sweet and sour pork, Jeon Hyun-moo praised it, saying, "It's delicious. It's a meat texture I've never tasted before." Next, while eating yu-sul jjambbong (a type of spicy noodle soup), Lee Hyun-wook suddenly had a nosebleed. Jeon Hyun-moo sensibly promoted his new KBS 2TV historical drama "Munmu" by saying, "King Munmu must be tired from taking care of state affairs," while also expressing concern for his health.

In the preview for the next episode, Jeon Hyun-moo and Gwak Tube were captured returning to Boryeong again, heightening anticipation.
