New foodie friend stirs things up
Lee Se-hee steps in as the latest "foodie friend" on the 46th episode of 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2', set for 9:10 p.m. on Sept. 12, with the trio charting a casual eat-trip across Cheongju's comfort food stops. Jeon Hyun-moo amps up anticipation by calling her the funniest performer he watched this year, framing an episode built on quick-fire laughs and unscripted street-food detours.
Banter, a dented umbrella, and a detour
Their first meet sparks instant banter as Jeon clocks Lee's now-signature dented umbrella, drawing a deadpan "Should I throw this away?" from her, a tone-setter for the back-and-forth that follows. A planned visit to a local 'ul-jjajang' spot (a combo of 'ul-myeon' and 'jjajangmyeon') hits a rare double rejection, forcing a pickup-and-park pivot for an impromptu mukbang in a scenic public space.
Cheongju's comfort-food crawl
The route opens with a no-frills counter of twisted donuts, croquettes, and chewy cold noodles, an old-school pairing that anchors the show's "real street food-umentary" style. Production notes confirm this week's itinerary stays rooted in local staples, aligning with the program's recent regional focus across the midlands and inland markets.
A candid grind before the spotlight
Between bites, Jeon asks about Lee's early grind; she matter-of-factly lists shifts at a department store, gas station, Japanese eatery, and flyer work-crediting her mother for instilling effort-for-reward discipline. As reported by Sports Hankook, the series continues its weekly 9:10 p.m. slot, with rotating guests adding personality to the food-first travel format, highlighting candid slices of life alongside street flavors.
