In the latest episode of 'Jun Hyun-moo's Plan 2,' Lee Hyun is deployed as a 'food friend,' showcasing his refreshing charm during a food trip in Incheon with Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube.

In the 28th episode of the real-life street food documentary 'Jun Hyun-moo's Plan 2' (co-produced by MBN and Channel S), which aired on the 9th, Jun Hyun-moo, Kwak Tube (Kwak Jun-bin), and model entertainer Lee Hyun held the second part of the special segment 'More Delicious Incheon.' They selected the best chicken gangjeong from Incheon’s top three and succeeded in discovering authentic traditional Chinese food restaurants beyond Chinatown. They also savored seasonal spring baby cuttlefish and naengi (shepherd's purse) shabu-shabu, providing viewers with valuable information and healing.

On that day, Jun Hyun-moo, who arrived in Incheon, declared, "The Incheon special isn't over yet. There are many hidden gem restaurants," before heading to a park. There, after meeting Lee Hyun, his 'food friend', Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube each took out the chicken gangjeong they selected for taste evaluation. The three exclaimed, "This tastes like curry," and "It tastes like a snack made with nuts," offering intuitive flavor descriptions. During this time, Lee Hyun revealed that his method of body maintenance is 'soccer,' to which Kwak Tube responded, "Playing soccer just makes me gain more weight... The membership fee includes meal costs, so I always eat after games." Lee Hyun emphasized, "Wanting to eat after exercising means you haven't exercised enough. I run 11 km," knocking Kwak Tube down.

Next, Jun Hyun-moo mentioned, "This place is run by a Chinese couple only for 4 hours a day," leading Kwak Tube and Lee Hyun to a 'SNS hot spot' Chinese restaurant. During their journey, Lee Hyun opened up about his first meeting with his husband, saying, "Four models, including myself, and four employees from a large corporation met for a meeting. At that meeting, my husband chose me as his first impression. The other men said, 'You're really unique,'" he laughed. He added, "That day my husband asked for my contact information. We watched a movie together two days later and started dating." Lee Hyun also mentioned, "My husband initially worried whether I would be able to raise a child, thinking I only liked him. But when a woman has a baby, it seems like a switch flips," referencing her reality as 'mom' Lee Hyun.

A moment later, upon arriving at the authentic Chinese restaurant, the three were surprised to find out that they do not sell jajangmyeon or jjambbong and ordered the four dishes recommended by the owner. First served was the 'meatball' made famous by 'Chef Cheolga Bang' Lim Tae-hoon, and as soon as the three took their spoons, they marveled, "It's so tender." Kwak Tube said, "The meat just disappears," giving a 'thumbs up,' while Lee Hyun playfully asked, "Are you speaking Chinese?" showcasing their hilarious chemistry. Jun Hyun-moo immediately called Lim Tae-hoon, stating, "This is a flavor that Chef Lim Tae-hoon should reflect on. It's too tender," and upon receiving the call, Lim Tae-hoon recognized the restaurant and expressed regret, saying, "I should be there when you shoot there." Amidst a warm atmosphere, the three enjoyed clam stir-fry, fried shrimp, and fried rice, all showcasing flavors reminiscent of mainland China.

Kwak Tube asked, "Do you cook?" to which Lee Hyun replied, "I can’t cook. I’m a disaster in the kitchen," adding, "I hardly have time to cook at home and have been cooking a little lately. I didn’t cook in my 20s, and now that I’m in my 40s, I think it's okay to have been ordering delivery until 40. But thinking about it, if I don’t start now, I might still be ordering delivery in my 60s or 70s. That wouldn't do."

Lee Hyun, who has just started cooking, mentioned, "I made steamed chicken at home. I spent 70,000 won on ingredients for my kids," and Jun Hyun-moo chuckled, "Usually, when disaster cooks try to cook, it costs twice as much as dining out."

As Lee Hyun left, Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Tube hurriedly said, "We’re off to find the treasures of Incheon," and soon arrived at a squid restaurant with '42 years of tradition,' where they were welcomed with fresh baby octopus. However, Jun Hyun-moo, who usually finds the eyes of live seafood scary, shuddered, and Kwak Tube commented, "I can’t understand you, hyung." To this, Jun Hyun-moo replied, "I do like animals, so..." displaying his gentle demeanor, but Kwak Tube shot back, "You just praised it until now... and I know you’ll say it tastes chewy soon," causing everyone to burst into laughter. In reality, Jun Hyun-moo threw the live baby octopus into the hot pot, enjoying the dish while exclaiming, "You can feel the life force. Eating it with naengi is a kick!" while applauding.
