KwakTube absent again as Jeon Hyeonmu finds new dining companions

Broadcaster KwakTube has once again missed the filming of 'Jeon Hyun Moo Plan 4' due to his overseas schedule. As his absences move beyond one-off occurrences to repeated gaps, the fixed travel dynamic of the program appears to be shifting. This time, Jeon Hyeonmu fills KwakTube's vacancy with Cho Jjaejeu and Jang Han Byul as they set out to discover the flavors and stories of Uiryeong, South Gyeongsang Province. In particular, Jeon Hyeonmu's remark, "Jun Bin isn't here today," draws laughter with a joke tinged with a sense of resignation, as if he has become accustomed to the situation.

In the 13th episode of MBN and Channel S's 'Jeon Hyun Moo Plan 4,' which airs on the 25th, Jeon Hyeonmu travels through various parts of Uiryeong with Cho Jjaejeu and Jang Han Byul to introduce local food and landmarks. Rather than following set travel courses or famous tourist attractions, the 'Jeon Hyun Moo Plan' series has focused on constructing trips around restaurants actually visited by locals and regional stories. Since the spontaneous conversations and relationships between the cast members are a key highlight of the program, KwakTube's absence—who has previously maintained a fixed chemistry with the cast—creates a change that goes beyond just one person being missing.

During this broadcast, Jeon Hyeonmu visits Cauldron Rock, a representative landmark of Uiryeong, to make an unexpected wish. He delivers a characteristically realistic joke, saying, "Everyone thinks I'm rich, but I'm not as rich as they think. Please let me become even richer."

KwakTube's absence is naturally mentioned during this process. Jeon Hyeonmu informs the audience that KwakTube could not attend the filming due to his overseas schedule, stating, "Jun Bin isn't here today. That guy is away on a trip." The individuals joining as 'dining companions' in place of KwakTube this time are Cho Jjaejeu and Jang Han Byul. While KwakTube, a former travel YouTuber, provided a different perspective from Jeon Hyeonmu by sharing experiences regarding food and travel destinations, this time the two are creating a new combination with Jeon Hyeonmu.

In particular, the first question Jeon Hyeonmu asked upon meeting the two was, "Are you wealthy?" After explaining that Uiryeong is a region with deep ties to the founders of leading domestic corporations, the scene where they pray to become wealthy together demonstrates the spontaneous variety sense unique to the program. It is also another part of the fun in 'Jeon Hyun Moo Plan' that cast members, who meet through food and travel, occasionally transition into private topics such as wealth, success, and married life.

Even during the process of heading to the first meal, the conversation naturally extends into the realm of private life. When Cho Jjaejeu suggests, "Since it's morning, let's eat some light spicy pork," Jeon Hyeonmu asks if his wife makes spicy pork well. When Cho Jjaejeu answers that she does, Jeon Hyeonmu expresses envy, saying, "Your wife is beautiful, and she especially loves this guy so much."

Jeon Hyeonmu also digs into the story of Cho Jjaejeu's first meeting with his wife. To the question, "I heard you touched her belly during your first meeting?", Cho Jjaejeu explains the situation at the time, saying, "My wife touched my belly and was muttering something."

Amid KwakTube's repeated absences, 'Jeon Hyun Moo Plan 4' seems to be attempting variations in the program through different 'dining companions' each episode. However, since KwakTube's field sense built on travel content and his bickering chemistry with Jeon Hyeonmu were major highlights of the program, as his absence repeats, viewers' interest in the role of fixed members and the program's composition itself is bound to increase. The key points to watch are what kind of chemistry the new combination of Cho Jjaejeu and Jang Han Byul will create in this Uiryeong episode, and how Jeon Hyeonmu will lead the trip without KwakTube once again in his own way.
