Actress Moon Chae-won went exploring the hot spots of Euljiro, but the unexpected wait times and a flood of fan attention left her feeling “completely drained” in a funny yet sad way.
On the 14th, the second video of Moon Chae-won’s visit to Euljiro was released on her YouTube channel.
Moon Chae-won appeared dressed up to visit the “hip” area of Euljiro. She confessed, “Crowded areas are hard for an introvert,” but still braved the outdoor seating scene in Euljiro.
Upon seeing the queue, Moon Chae-won was baffled, asking, “Is this really the waiting number? Does this even make sense?” While looking around the outdoor atmosphere, she was surprised again as people began shouting, “Moon Chae-won! Moon Chae-won!”
The scene quickly turned into something resembling a fan signing event. One fan confessed, “I’ve even written a letter to you,” while another requested a photo. Moon Chae-won shyly accepted each request.
One citizen even handed her a hangover cure drink to cheer her on.
Eventually, Moon Chae-won put on sunglasses while moving. She revealed, “There are so many people that I’m shy. I couldn’t make eye contact, so I had to wear sunglasses.”
After wandering the alleys of Euljiro, she declared a change of plans, saying, “I don’t think today is the day.” She then asked ChatGPT to “find a dinner restaurant in Euljiro that I can go to without getting tired of waiting” and headed to the recommended Haidilao Hotpot.
Moon Chae-won took a breather while eating hotpot with the production team, followed by an unexpected surprise. The staff prepared a veil and a cake to celebrate the launch of her YouTube channel.
Though embarrassed to suddenly be wearing a veil, Moon Chae-won enjoyed the mood, dancing along to the birthday song.
Wrapping up her day, she said, “Time seemed to go slowly from 6 PM until now. Trying things I’ve never done before makes me feel like I’m enjoying the time more.”
She added, “I want to try an escape like this once a month,” and brought laughter by adding, “Today, my soul was completely drained in Euljiro.”
