Trot singer Park Ji Hyun is set to surprise everyone by showcasing his incredible seafood knowledge and extensive market experience, proving he’s a true “fish expert.”
Get ready for a delicious adventure! On May 15th, MBN and Channel S’s ‘Jun Hyun Moo’s Plan 3’ will feature Jun Hyun Moo and Kwak Tube (Kwak Joon Bin) joining trot sensation Park Ji Hyun for an epic food trip to Samcheok, Gangwon Province. The trio will explore Beongae Market, Samcheok’s famous traditional market, where they’ll dive into a variety of fresh seafood and enjoy a local mukbang feast.
The moment they stepped into the seafood market, Jun Hyun Moo couldn’t help but introduce Park Ji Hyun, exclaiming, “Park Ji Hyun is a genuine seafood expert! He’s from Mokpo and even worked in the industry.” Park Ji Hyun then dropped a bombshell, revealing, “I used to be in seafood wholesale, and I’ve processed over 60,000 skate fish by myself!” This incredible confession left everyone stunned.
What really caught everyone’s eye was how Park Ji Hyun effortlessly scanned the fish on display, casually remarking in his natural dialect, “This must be gizzard shad!” He instantly identified the type and condition of the fish, showcasing his deep expertise.
Both market vendors and citizens were thrilled to recognize Park Ji Hyun, greeting him with warm smiles. With his signature friendly and charming demeanor, Park Ji Hyun effortlessly chatted with the vendors, quickly creating a lively and harmonious atmosphere. Thanks to his charm, the trio enjoyed a true “10,000 Won Happiness,” snagging a variety of fresh seafood — from freshly sliced whole flounder sashimi to live whelk and semi-dried rockfish — all for an incredible 10,000 won per plate!
Later, they moved to a nearby restaurant within the market that provides table settings, where they transformed their fresh catches into delicious cooked dishes. It was a lavish feast, all enjoyed at an incredibly affordable price!
During their meal, Park Ji Hyun opened up about his family, sharing a heartwarming story. He revealed, “All my maternal relatives work in the fishing industry. My uncle was a sailor, and my maternal grandfather was even a fishing village head!” He then confessed that he naturally started working in the seafood business to help his mother, a revelation that truly captured everyone’s attention.
Don’t miss out! Park Ji Hyun’s surprising and unique charm will be fully unveiled on ‘Jun Hyun Moo’s Plan 3,’ airing on May 15th at 9:10 PM KST.
