The 'Anyang reset' after two months… Pungja concludes as the best restaurant saying, 'This is why I came to Anyang for squid bossam.'
Ultimately, the 'Ttoganjip' Anyang episode was reset after two months. Overcoming controversies, Pungja has resolved to 'find it or die trying' and has finally produced the real conclusion of Anyang's best restaurants.
The episode 79 of the YouTube channel 'Ttoganjip' released on the 27th was uploaded under the title 'We found the best restaurant in Anyang that everyone has been waiting for, going head-on.' The production team noted, 'We rummaged thoroughly from Indeokwon to Pyeongchon' and promised, 'This time, we will find the real fundamental restaurant in Anyang that everyone can agree on.'
In the video, Pungja stated, 'I cleared all schedules and came back to Anyang. You might wonder why I'm upset, but it was revealed that a civilian grants participant recommended a family restaurant in the previous Anyang episode, which led to the video's deletion and a complete recall of the posters.'
The Anyang episode aired in April received explosive reactions, surpassing 900,000 views in just two days thanks to Pungja's unique storytelling and mukbang, which was based on local residents' recommendations. However, the issue of the recommenders' conflicts of interest raised questions about fairness. In response, the production team deleted that episode, re-edited it, and re-uploaded it, while Pungja emphasized the principle that 'fake recommendations are unacceptable' and returned to Anyang after two months.
On this day, Pungja began the reset journey at a squid bossam restaurant recommended by a 30-year veteran hair salon owner, exclaiming, 'I didn't intend to come back, but a reason arose. This is too delicious.' Then, upon visiting a Japanese home-style restaurant, Pungja emphasized authenticity by firmly stating, 'I could see people misunderstanding this as fake. There are no backdoor advertisements in 'Ttoganjip'' even though only one menu item, the 'eggplant rice bowl,' was available due to cleaning work.
At the end of the broadcast, Pungja identified the squid bossam restaurant as the best restaurant of this episode. He praised, 'I devoured three bowls of rice here. This taste, which you can only eat in Anyang, is incredibly addictive,' and stated, 'I will definitely return to Anyang just to eat this menu item.' In the end, the Anyang episode, which had been halted due to controversy, concluded with the justification of 'closing the restaurant debate' after two months. Pungja's remark, 'Either I die or Anyang dies,' proved his relentless attitude towards true recommendations.
Meanwhile, 'Ttoganjip' is a local food content by Pungja that introduces local restaurants based solely on genuine citizen recommendations, securing a solid fan base.
