Park Ji-hyun Reveals Surprising Past: “My Family Was Wealthy and Even Featured in the Newspaper!”

In the upcoming episode 31 of the real-life food documentary “Jun Hyun-moo’s Plan 3” (produced by MBN, Channel S, and SK Broadband), airing on the 15th at 9:10 PM, Jun Hyun-moo, KwakTube (Kwak Jun-bin), and the “Trot Prince” Park Ji-hyun head to Samcheok, Gangwon-do, to explore local hidden gems recommended by residents.

After enjoying a seafood feast at Samcheok Lightning Market, Jun Hyun-moo shouts, “Now it’s time for Samcheok Hanwoo!” Park Ji-hyun raises the energy with an enthusiastic reaction, admitting his deep love for meat.

While heading to a Hanwoo restaurant with a 70-year tradition, the trio shares a natural conversation in the car. When KwakTube asks where he lives, Park Ji-hyun replies, “Hwagok-dong,” leading Jun Hyun-moo to reveal an unexpected connection, saying, “I lived in that neighborhood too!” A surprised Park Ji-hyun immediately grabs his hand in excitement.

Park Ji-hyun also opens up about his experience studying in China as a child. He shares a laugh, saying, “I studied in China for a long time during elementary school. I was a good student in Korea, but I missed out on my education in China.” He further catches attention by recalling, “My family was wealthy back then. We ran a Korean restaurant in China and even put out newspaper advertisements.”

Upon arriving at the local Hanwoo spot, the owner greets Park Ji-hyun by name the moment he sees him, proving the immense popularity of the “Trot Prince.”

During the meal, Park Ji-hyun declares, “I absolutely love meat,” to which Jun Hyun-moo playfully teases, “But you don’t really know the quality of meat, do you?” Jun then shares a funny anecdote, revealing, “There are times when Ji-hyun feels so young. We took a half-bath together, and while I was submerged up to my neck, Ji-hyun only dipped his feet in and said it was too hot.”

Without hesitation, Park Ji-hyun fires back, “It’s not that I’m young, it’s because you’re an ajusshi, hyung!” This unexpected counterattack leaves Jun Hyun-moo flustered and sends the set into fits of laughter.

The delightful chemistry between Jun Hyun-moo and Park Ji-hyun during their Samcheok food trip will be revealed on the 15th at 9:10 PM on MBN and Channel S’s “Jun Hyun-moo’s Plan 3.”

Meanwhile, Park Ji-hyun gained widespread popularity through TV Chosun’s “Mr. Trot 2” and continues to shine in various entertainment programs with his friendly charm and wit.
