On the 17th, a store named “Universe Rice Cake Shop Earth Branch 2” was spotted on a restaurant reservation platform.
Likely opened for the filming of the tvN variety show Universe Rice Cake Shop, the menu features items named after the Earth Arcade members, including “Lee Young-ji Original Tteokbokki” and “Lee Eun-ji Performance.”
The “Lee Eun-ji Performance” option is especially funny, stating, “Please choose one from Mamma Mia, Moulin Rouge, or Kinky Boots. We will perform with smiles and joy! Please refrain from ordering if we are experiencing mannerism.”
The store’s introduction also caught fans’ attention. The Universe Rice Cake Shop team wrote, “Our store is full of burnout. However, we will do our absolute best to ensure our guests’ taste buds are not affected.” They also encouraged people to check out their performances and friendly service.
As of 10:30 AM that day, the listing had over 6,100 real-time views, and reservations for the nearest available dates are already fully booked.
Universe Rice Cake Shop was first introduced as part of tvN’s 2026 content lineup back in February. Filming is currently in progress, and sightings and photos have been circulating online.
Earth Arcade is a variety show directed by PD Na Young-seok and starring Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and An Yu-jin, which has aired through Season 3.
