In 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2', Kim Dae-ho made his debut as a free-spirited 'eating friend', showcasing a 'true friend vibe' with Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube, captivating the viewers.
In the 26th episode of the full-fledged real street food documentary 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 2' (co-produced by MBN and Channel S), Jeon Hyun-moo, Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), and Kim Dae-ho presented a delightful food trip in 'Taste City' Gwangju. They explored various culinary delights, starting with a famous millstone soybean milk restaurant that took social media by storm, followed by a 'Kim Dae-ho Plan' visit to a 'market fermented skate omakase', a spicy stew restaurant that sparked a 'spicy pride competition', and finally indulged in Gwangju's special health food, 'raw meat', providing rich taste information and healing.
On that day, Jeon Hyun-moo, who arrived in Gwangju, showed a video of the 'millstone soybean milk' restaurant he found on social media and led Kwak Tube to the place. This restaurant, run by a 89-year-old owner, has been serving soybean milk using a millstone for an impressive 55 years, adhering to the principle of '100% soybean without additives'. After tasting the smooth soybean milk, which was as soft as pudding, Jeon Hyun-moo exclaimed, "This is the smoothest soybean milk I've ever had," while Kwak Tube ordered takeout after devouring it. Suddenly, 'eating friend' Kim Dae-ho burst in, bringing laughter with his enthusiastic consumption of soybean milk.
After their cheerful meeting, the three headed to a '100-year tradition' market to eat fermented skate, known for its strong flavor. At this point, Jeon Hyun-moo expressed his 'skate trauma', while Kwak Tube reacted with 'extreme' enthusiasm, saying, "I sang about eating skate for a year while doing the 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan'." Shortly after, they enjoyed the exquisite taste of skate at a 'skate omakase', where they could taste everything from skate roe to three levels of fermented skate. Notably, Jeon Hyun-moo, who was initially tense, enjoyed the 'skate three-way' and expressed gratitude, saying, "Thanks to Dae-ho, my culinary horizons have expanded."
After successfully finishing their skate eating segment, Jeon Hyun-moo took 'spicy pride' Kim Dae-ho and 'spice wimp' Kwak Tube to a pork stew restaurant, known as the 'holy land of spicy pride' for the MZ generation. Upon encountering the bright red pork stew, Jeon Hyun-moo and Kim Dae-ho exclaimed, "It's not just spicy, it's delicious," releasing endorphins. Kim Dae-ho compared his current feelings to "the feeling of receiving the contract money from my agency. It's amazing." When the topic of the contract came up, Jeon Hyun-moo revealed, "As soon as the article about Dae-ho's (declaration of being free) came out, he sent me a text saying, 'Hyung, what should I do now?'" He then shared the story of 'Kim Dae-ho's agency contract', adding, "I recommended an agency, but Dae-ho said that day, 'I want to sign with them.' Dae-ho is a one-shot, one-kill." Kim Dae-ho explained, "I had my heart set on the first proposed company, and I thought meeting with other agencies afterward was meaningless. I felt we could build trust together," revealing his connection with his current agency. Jeon Hyun-moo advised, "The most important thing for a freelancer is stamina," and led him to a health food restaurant.
A little later, the three met a butcher with 27 years of experience who personally slaughters, debones, and shapes the meat, welcoming them with freshly slaughtered raw meat, fresh liver, beef tripe, and aorta. Along with grilled ribeye and flank steak, they showcased a mouthwatering feast bursting with meaty aroma. During this, Jeon Hyun-moo suddenly asked, "Is there anyone you've found attractive recently?" Kim Dae-ho revealed his fan crush on "Ha Ji-won!" When Kwak Tube chimed in, "Didn't you travel together on the show?" Kim Dae-ho confirmed, "Yes, we keep in touch," sparking envy among everyone. Seizing the moment, Jeon Hyun-moo playfully asked, "Have you ever thought it would be nice if Ha Ji-won was your girlfriend?"
Kim Dae-ho replied, "I don't think it's to that extent. However, I believe she is beautiful both inside and out. I think she would understand without any misunderstandings." Jeon Hyun-moo praised him, saying, "That's impressive, Dae-ho," giving him a thumbs up. Finally, when asked what kind of show he would like to do as a freelancer in the future, Kim Dae-ho responded, "I would love a travel program. I'm not a huge fan of just sitting in a studio and talking." Jeon Hyun-moo quietly murmured, "That's a relief," making Kim Dae-ho smile.
