Jeon Hyun‑moo and Gwak Jun‑bin were floored by a tteokbokki they’d never tried before.
On the 24th, MBN aired ‘Jeon Hyun‑moo’s Plan,’ which followed the pair as they continued a tour of Seoul’s back alleys.
They stopped at a 47-year-old tteokbokki joint in Sinsudong. The shop’s unconventional ordering system—serving portions based on how much you pay—caught their attention. When someone called it the naengmyeon of tteokbokki, Jeon couldn’t help but wonder what it would taste like.
When the soupy tteokbokki arrived with the rice cakes already sliced, both men stared in fascination. The restaurant uses scissors and spoons instead of chopsticks or forks. Sampling it for the first time, Jeon blurted out, “What is this?” clearly puzzled.
He shot his dining partner a questioning look. After Jeon dismissed it as flavorless, Gwak took a bite and looked just as bewildered. “It’s red but kind of bland, right?” Jeon said, then, surprised to see a student happily eating it, teased, “You must be a grandkid.” Gwak added, “I’ve never tasted anything this unusual before.”
