Kwak Jun-bin and Jeon Hyun-moo fell head over heels for a pork hock stew.
On the 1st, MBN aired ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3,’ and after trying the pork hock stew, both hosts couldn’t stop raving about it.
Jeon Hyun-moo called the spice level “kid-friendly”—just the right kick. Even Kwak Jun-bin, who usually avoids spicy food, dug in with enthusiasm. They noted the rendered fat wasn’t greasy when chewed and quickly fell for the distinctive flavor of the Yakdol pork.
Kwak praised the stew’s chewy texture and how well it paired with minari (Korean watercress). Jeon added that there was no greasy aftertaste at all. As the two sank into Mungyeong’s local flavors, the stew reduced further and the taste deepened.
Kwak marveled at the intensified flavor, saying, “It really hits you right in the throat.” Jeon joked that if he lived nearby, he’d be here three times a week. He also ordered the boxed lunch option and the pair spent time reminiscing over old memories.
