Island Restaurant Adventure: Lee Young-pyo Battles Ahn Jung-hwan on Reality Show

Lee Young pyo and friends transform deserted island into pop up seafood restaurant on MBC show

The 48th episode of Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation’s (MBC) popular variety show 푹 쉬면 다행이야—loosely translated as “It’s Fortunate if You Rest Well”—is set to air on May 12, bringing viewers back to a deserted island for another unforgettable adventure.

This week’s episode features a team of familiar faces transforming a remote island into a pop-up restaurant. Led by seasoned leader Lee Young-pyo, the crew includes Seol Ki-hyun, Jo Hye-ryun, Cho Woo-jong, and chef Jung Ho-young. Meanwhile, in the studio, Ahn Jung-hwan, Boom, Kim Min-kyung, and Lee Han of the K-pop group Boynextdoor offer witty commentary and cheer their friends from afar.

The highlight of the episode is Lee Young-pyo’s secret plan to outdo his longtime rival Ahn Jung-hwan. Determined to seize victory, Lee prepares a unique seafood catch using seasonal spring ingredients. Upon seeing the fresh, wild-caught seafood, the team bursts into excitement, with even Ahn Jung-hwan visibly impressed by the size and quality of the haul.

Adding a personal touch to the show, Ahn shares a humorous revelation about his home life, confessing that he rarely gets a chance to enjoy his favorite parts of the seafood because his wife Hye-won eats them first. This light-hearted moment adds further depth to the friendly competition between the former football stars.

To see who truly wins the island showdown, catch the full episode airing on May 12 at 9 PM KST on MBC.
