“I'm anxious that it might be more fabrication”…Pungja found a 'real restaurant' in Anyang after overcoming controversy
Pungja returned to Anyang, overcoming the controversy surrounding content trust, and confronted all misunderstandings head-on with flavor. His efforts to sincerely find great restaurants in a region he once almost 'cut off' draw attention.
The 79th episode of the YouTube series 'Ttoganjip', released on the 27th, features Pungja stating, “I will reset Anyang,” as he revisits the area that sparked controversy two months ago. He expressed grave determination, saying, “I cleared my schedule to come here. It's either me or Anyang that has to die.”
The first restaurant he visited was a squid bossam place recommended by the owner of a local hair salon with 30 years of experience. Pungja exclaimed, “It's really so delicious,” repeatedly marveling, and hinted at reversing his earlier declaration to 'cut off' by saying, “I said I wouldn't come back, but now I have a reason.”
Next, during a conversation with a restaurant owner he randomly encountered, he mentioned, “A sister I know well is a die-hard fan of Ttoganjip. She was really angry about part one of Anyang,” and recommended chicken noodle soup. Pungja continued to visit both the chicken noodle soup and hand-cut noodle places, praising them as “the best hand-cut noodles in history.”
The most tense moment came when he visited a Japanese home-cooking restaurant. Although he went there on a rider's recommendation, it happened to be a full cleaning day, with only 'eggplant rice bowl' available on the menu. Pungja hesitated for a moment at this scene and expressed his concern, saying, “I think they will misunderstand this as more fabrication.”
He lowered his head, stating, “Ttoganjip has no restaurant advertising or hidden advertising at all. We only rely on recommendations from ordinary people,” and after tasting the food, he expressed his emotions by saying, “It's the first-class Japanese home cooking.”
Previously, it was revealed that 'Ttoganjip' featured the family restaurant of a recommender, which led to a unique situation where the content was entirely deleted and posters were recalled. This revisit embodies the production team's and Pungja's concerns to minimize misunderstandings, with the determination to “start over from the beginning.”
Viewers are showing positive reactions, saying, “At this level, it’s content driven by a sense of mission,” “Pungja, anxious about fabrication, is adorable,” and “Ultimately, real flavor is the solution.”
