The legendary slugger Lee Dae-ho filled the spot of Lee Yi-kyung perfectly.

In the episode of tvN's ‘Handsome Guys’ aired on the 24th, Cha Tae-hyun, Shin Seung-ho, Kim Dong-hyun, Oh Sang-wook, and Lee Dae-ho appeared eating lunch and dinner while exploring famous restaurants in the Euljiro area.

Cha Tae-hyun explained to avoid misunderstandings, saying, “The viewers might think this is a rerun. But a heavy snowfall occurred in March.” The pure white scenery of March, where snow piled up, is rare, and the panelists, including Cha Tae-hyun, were all dressed in stylish winter coats. Then, Shin Seung-ho remarked, “Lee Yi-kyung is missing. I thought someone was gone,” looking around and expressing regret over Lee Yi-kyung's empty spot.

Cha Tae-hyun consoled himself, saying, “We have a tremendous person, a great person, in place of the tremendous eater, Lee Yi-kyung.” Kim Dong-hyun made everyone laugh by saying, “I hope the person isn't too smart.”

Eventually, the silhouette of the guest appeared. The moment was not ordinary, with a sturdy figure and a dignified stride. As a former slugger, Lee Dae-ho was expected to eat a lot. However, Lee Dae-ho stated, “I don’t eat a lot. I just eat delicious things. I only eat a lot of delicious food,” asserting his own principle, “If it’s not tasty, I put down the chopsticks.” To this, Kim Dong-hyun added, “But the range of what tastes bad isn't narrow. Most foods are enjoyable,” showcasing their close friendship.

Lee Dae-ho was seen eating neatly yet heartily at a kimchi stew restaurant. Lee Dae-ho disclosed his preference, saying, “I like to eat simple dishes like kimchi stew and galbitang.” Kim Dong-hyun persuaded Lee Dae-ho, saying, “I know there is a famous kimchi stew restaurant nearby that is filled with pork. They say it has pork, old bowls, and the kimchi is so transparent that it bubbles vigorously.”

Forming a kimchi stew team, Lee Dae-ho explained, “The deep flavor of the kimchi is all absorbed into the meat,” making the panelists who chose chicken soup envious. Oh Sang-wook said, “I know that taste, it must be really delicious,” swallowing his saliva.

Following that, Lee Dae-ho participated in a food quiz show with Kim Dong-hyun. It was a game to guess the preference ranking of the Korean public on pork neck, pork belly, front and rear leg meat, and ribs. Lee Dae-ho expressed his cleverness, saying, “I think jokbal (pig's feet) must be really delicious too.” In response, Kim Dong-hyun nodded, saying, “I think people would usually eat pork belly and then ribs, but it might mislead them, like me.” Cha Tae-hyun asked, “Is jokbal different from the front and rear legs?” And Kim Dong-hyun confidently answered, “Of course. Jokbal is from the front leg. My family has run a jokbal restaurant for 15 years.”

However, the correct answer was pork belly > neck meat > ribs > front and rear leg meat. Only Lee Dae-ho got the answer right. Lee Dae-ho laughed, saying, “But these days, many people like neck meat because they think it’s less fattening,” and Kim Dong-hyun, who suddenly had to pay, exclaimed, “I can't even brag about it, it's unfair,” which made everyone laugh.
