Cha Ye-ryun ♥ Joo Sang-wook: What kind of kimbap is it? A 20-roll reservation disaster

Actors Cha Ye-ryun and Joo Sang-wook showed a persistence of making over 100 phone calls to eat kimbap in Jeju Island. After finally connecting, the couple each reserved 10 rolls, resulting in an unexpected situation where they secured a total of 20 rolls of kimbap. The family's Jeju mukbang trip, known for their extraordinary appetite, turned into a reservation war, providing much laughter.

In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Cha Jang-geum Cha Ye-ryun' on the 8th, titled 'The Mukbang Trip Course of Cha Ye-ryun and Joo Sang-wook's Family, Who Ate 100 Meals in Jeju Island,' the Jeju outing of Cha Ye-ryun, Joo Sang-wook, and their daughter In-a was captured. The family, who searched for food without rest from duck meat and kalguksu to bread and various desserts, also challenged themselves to reserve a famous kimbap restaurant. However, unexpected obstacles began from that moment. Even though they held onto the phone and called repeatedly, the only response was the announcement that the line was busy.

Cha Ye-ryun also revealed a special memory related to this kimbap. Recalling that she was pregnant when she first ate it, she confessed that she initially thought, "How special could kimbap be?" However, her thoughts changed completely after tasting it. It was so delicious that she ate both rolls of kimbap while waiting for the signal. It was a moment that revealed why kimbap, which looks like ordinary food, made the couple so desperate.

The problem was that the reservation itself was not easy. The group kept calling, but connection was hard to achieve. From past experiences of successful reservations, it was mentioned that a connection was made only after the 180th attempt. Cha Ye-ryun and Joo Sang-wook also continued their challenge without giving up. Even after moving to a cafe, the phone rang incessantly, and the total number of attempts was estimated to have far exceeded 100 calls. There were scenes where they rejoiced thinking they had succeeded in connecting, only to be disappointed upon realizing it was an automated voice.

Finally, the first person to taste the joy of success was Joo Sang-wook. When the call connected, he could not hide his excitement, moving his body up and down, and proceeded with the order immediately. Subtitles in the video appeared stating that Joo Sang-wook succeeded in the reservation after 42 attempts. Upon hearing that the kimbap could be picked up at 5:30 PM, Joo Sang-wook appeared extremely excited. As it was a reservation obtained after a long wait, the joy was extraordinary.

However, there was a twist. At the moment Joo Sang-wook was about to tell his wife about the successful reservation, Cha Ye-ryun had also already succeeded in making a reservation. Unaware of each other's success, the two called separately, and eventually ordered 10 rolls each, totaling 20 rolls. It was as if their will to eat kimbap was excessively full. Cha Ye-ryun added more laughter by revealing that she continued to make calls even in the bathroom. The couple's persistence toward the popular kimbap, where even connecting a call is not easy, eventually resulted in a large order volume.

Even after succeeding in the reservation, the mukbang did not stop. Joo Sang-wook went to pick up the kimbap himself on behalf of Cha Ye-ryun and their daughter staying at the hotel, and the group opened the packaging and tasted it as soon as they got into the car. Although the kimbap looked nothing special at first glance, exclamations of admiration burst out as soon as they took a bite. However, Joo Sang-wook, who had enjoyed meals, desserts, and coffee all day and then ate kimbap again, began to complain of his limits. He lamented that he had gained weight since coming to Jeju Island and that even though there were more famous restaurants he wanted to introduce, there was a limit to how much he could eat.

Although he showed a reaction of wanting to lie down for even a moment, the family's mukbang schedule did not end. Upon hearing that daughter In-a was hungry, they set out for dinner again, and finally visited a long-time regular black pork restaurant. Cha Ye-ryun recalled memories of visiting this place from when she was pregnant until her daughter was young. The family finished their day in Jeju enjoying meat, rice, and noodles. While Joo Sang-wook showed signs of exhaustion from the schedule of eating and eating all day, the joy of traveling with family was fully conveyed.

Cha Ye-ryun, who provided laughter through mukbang, also revealed an anecdote of her meticulous support for her husband. When Joo Sang-wook was playing Yi Bang-won in a drama, she personally purchased, washed, and prepared carrots for the horse he rode. The production team was even impressed by the story that she even prepared sugar cubes. It revealed Cha Ye-ryun's unexpected charm: taking meticulous care of her husband and the horse off-camera, and making over 100 calls to reserve kimbap on-camera. The commotion of reserving 20 rolls of kimbap, which started from the Jeju mukbang trip, simultaneously showed the couple's pleasant chemistry and their extraordinary passion for food.
