Jeon Hyun Moo And Park Ji Yoon Serve Laughter And Nostalgia In Jeju Food Tour

A playful episode of '전현무계획3' brings together Jeon Hyun-moo, Park Ji-yoon, and Gwak Tube for a flavorful exploration of Jeju's hidden eateries, spiced up with candid stories and old broadcast memories.

On March 13, 2026, viewers tuning into MBN’s popular variety show 전현무계획3 were treated to a lively episode that blended the flavors of Jeju’s hidden culinary gems with a hearty serving of nostalgia, laughter, and candid confessions from its charismatic hosts. The episode, which also aired on Channel S and SK브로드밴드, featured veteran broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo, YouTuber Gwak Tube (Gwak Jun-bin), and special guest Park Ji-yoon—a Jeju resident and well-known broadcaster in her own right.

The trio’s gastronomic journey began as Park Ji-yoon led her companions to a series of 제주 맛집 (Jeju’s best eateries) cherished by locals but largely unknown to tourists. According to OSEN and TopStarNews, these included a gogi-jip (meat restaurant) in Yeondong famed for its pork neck (가브리살) and pork jowl (항정살) cuts, as well as a seafood house near Geumnyeong Beach serving mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) and spicy braised rockfish. The meat restaurant, previously spotlighted on 식신로드1, is something of a legend among Jeju residents for its quality and variety—serving everything from samgyeopsal and cheonggukjang to kimchi stew and grilled tilefish.

But it wasn’t just the food that had viewers hungry for more. The chemistry between Jeon Hyun-moo and Park Ji-yoon kept the mood light and unpredictable. Park, who has now lived in Jeju for six years, introduced a dish exclusive to one of the restaurants: 객주리(쥐치) 조림 (braised filefish), a specialty she insisted could only be found at that particular spot. Jeon’s surprise was palpable as he remarked, “Isn’t this a place only locals would know about?” Park responded with pride, highlighting her insider status and ability to unearth such culinary treasures.

As the trio dug into their meal, Park emphasized the importance of sincerity in a 먹방 (food broadcast). “Viewers can tell right away how much you love the food—whether it’s in the slight tremble of your hands or the wrinkles on your brow,” she explained, according to OSEN. She didn’t hesitate to offer some playful critique, adding, “Sometimes Jeon Hyun-moo’s reactions are a bit over the top. I’ll help him keep those emotions in check.” Jeon, never one to miss a beat, retorted, “Park Ji-yoon and I have different stomach sizes. I was famous for eating a lot even before the concept of 먹방 existed—almost like Tzuyang!”

The friendly rivalry escalated as Park revealed her own impressive appetite, sharing, “If YouTube had existed back then, I would have made content as a big eater. Just three years ago, I could eat 50 dumplings at once. It wasn’t until I turned forty that I finally understood what it meant to feel full. In my prime, three packs of ramen were nothing.” Her confession left the group—and viewers—amused and a little awestruck.

But the episode wasn’t all about food. The conversation soon veered into personal territory, with Park recalling the chaos that accompanied Jeon’s entry into KBS as a rookie announcer. “From the moment he joined, there was a commotion. People were asking, ‘Who hired him?’ because he was already known from YTN and had that distinctive lawn-like hairstyle,” Park reminisced, as reported by XportsNews and StarNews. Jeon took it in stride, joking, “I never hear anything good about myself!”

Park didn’t stop there, recounting Jeon’s penchant for making risky jokes as a newcomer. She shared a particularly memorable incident on the show 경제비타민, where Jeon quipped that Park received a tax deduction for medical expenses because of her plastic surgery. “These days, that would have required a public apology on social media,” Park laughed. Jeon admitted, “From back then, I got a lot of practice writing apology letters.” Park added, “He became famous for writing excellent explanations of his actions.” Jeon confessed, “It wasn’t just you, Park. I had to apologize to a lot of people back then.”

Despite the embarrassing memories, Park praised Jeon’s growth, saying, “After all those missteps, the current Jeon Hyun-moo was born. Now, I think he’s one of the best at managing the fine line of entertainment.” Their banter, full of warmth and mutual respect, gave viewers a glimpse into the real dynamics behind their on-screen personas.

The episode also featured a playful exchange over titles and seniority. Park, two years younger but two KBS cohorts ahead of Jeon, teased him by calling him ‘oppa’ (older brother), a term that left Jeon visibly flustered. “Was ‘oppa’ always such a shocking word for you?” Park teased, as Maeil Business Newspaper described. Jeon, in turn, joked about Park’s strictness when she was his senior, recalling the “chill” she used to instill in her juniors.

The show’s most talked-about moment came when Park revealed she had once set Jeon up on a blind date with fellow announcer Han Seok-jun in Hannam-dong—a story that caught Jeon off guard. In a bid to verify the story, Jeon called Han Seok-jun on the spot. Both men struggled to recall the details, eventually agreeing, “It’s been over ten years, so it’s hard to remember.” This spontaneous phone call, and the good-natured embarrassment it caused, became a highlight of the night, showing just how much time had passed and how much both had grown.

Throughout the episode, the trio’s journey through Jeju’s hidden eateries was punctuated by laughter, candid stories, and genuine camaraderie. They sampled everything from the island’s famed pork to its unique seafood, dipping slices of meat into special Jeju sauces and enjoying the playful banter of restaurant owners. Park’s expertise as a local shone as she guided her friends through the menus, at one point introducing a dish she dubbed ‘white meat’ and inviting the owner to humorously explain the different cuts.

The broadcast, which aired at 9:10 PM KST, was praised for its blend of culinary exploration and heartfelt storytelling. According to Special Times, viewers were especially drawn to the chemistry between Park and Jeon, whose shared history and willingness to laugh at themselves brought a relatable warmth to the screen. Jeon even joked that after his TV appearances, the number of applicants for KBS announcer positions skyrocketed—a claim delivered with his signature self-deprecating humor.

In the end, 전현무계획3 delivered not just a tour of Jeju’s best-kept food secrets, but also a window into the journeys—both personal and professional—of its beloved hosts. The episode reminded viewers that behind every on-screen persona lies a story of growth, friendship, and plenty of good-natured ribbing, best enjoyed over a shared meal.
