Inside the Hilarious Food Quest on ‘Jun Hyun-moo’s Plan 2’ Featuring Kwaktube
The hit Korean reality foodumentary series ‘Jun Hyun-moo’s Plan 2’ (jointly produced by MBN and Channel S) delivers another sensational episode on May 2 at 9:10 PM. In episode 27, renowned TV personality Jun Hyun-moo and YouTube star Kwaktube embark on a culinary adventure with their friend and famed travel YouTuber Panibottle to discover the ultimate saeng-daegu-tang—a traditional Korean codfish soup.
The episode kicks off with the trio heading to Incheon, where the locals recommended a hidden gem for saeng-daegu-tang. Along the drive, Jun Hyun-moo sparks laughter by asking Panibottle, “What was your first impression of Kwaktube?” to which Panibottle cheekily responds, “Not great. He’s not handsome!” Kwaktube good-naturedly fires back, “Well, same goes for me,” igniting a hilarious exchange.
The back-and-forth continues as Jun Hyun-moo probes, “Does Kwaktube act like a celebrity now?” Panibottle replies, “He’s always been the same,” indicating Kwaktube’s down-to-earth nature. But Jun presses on with a bold question: “Was he always a ladies’ man?”—leaving Kwaktube momentarily speechless to the amusement of all.
Once they arrive at the local hotspot, revered for serving saeng-daegu-tang for over 43 years, Panibottle jumps into action, negotiating with the restaurant for filming. Kwaktube praises his friend’s growing fame, saying, “Panibottle’s clout these days is no joke.”
The highlight of the episode is the group’s long-awaited moment of tasting the traditional dish. As they savor the codfish stew and its spicy specialty companion, daegu-naejang-bokkeum (stir-fried cod entrails), they burst into compliments—“So tender,” “It’s like a flower!”—capturing their delight onscreen.
Wrapping up their meal, Panibottle reveals during a heartfelt conversation that he once threw a year-end party for friends, splurging an impressive 15 million KRW (approx. $11,000 USD), stunning both Jun and Kwaktube. The reason behind this extravagant celebration adds another layer to Panibottle’s mystique.
Audiences eager to discover whether Panibottle successfully secured the restaurant and to experience the trio’s food adventure can tune in to ‘Jun Hyun-moo’s Plan 2’ on MBN & Channel S, airing tonight at 9:10 PM.
