Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Jun-bin scored a dogani-tang (ox-knee soup) spot for filming.
On the 17th, MBN aired ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3,’ with Jeon Hyun-moo and Kwak Jun-bin returning to Samcheong-dong to welcome spring.
They reflected on a visit they’d made here a year earlier. Jeon explained that today’s episode is a tour of Seoul’s hidden back alleys — a hunt for tucked-away eateries even many locals don’t know about.
Determined to finally try the dogani-tang they missed last year, they set out to find a new spot. Their first stop was the alleys behind Independence Gate in Jongno. The moment they stepped in, the aroma of gomtang (beef bone soup) hit them.
Arriving at the restaurant, they hesitated at a half-open shutter. A staff member warned that filming would be difficult, raising the stakes. Customers started arriving even before the official opening time. When the owner initially refused filming, Jeon and Kwak asked again — and in a dramatic turnaround, they won permission to film.
