Jun Hyun-moo moved to tears by carefree dancing of youths during Canada trip

Entertainer Jun Hyun-moo shed unexpected tears during a trip to Canada. While watching local youths enjoying dancing without being conscious of how others perceive them, he became emotional as he reflected on his own past. The atmosphere of the trip shifted instantly when Jun, who usually leads the mood with his witty remarks and skilled hosting, opened up about his feelings, stating, "It is a side of myself I no longer have."

In the sixth episode of the MBN entertainment program 'This Is Hyunmoo Road' broadcast on the 25th, Jun Hyun-moo, Lee Joon, and Lee Joo-bin were shown enjoying a trip in Calgary, Canada. The three built unique memories by experiencing everything from local food to the beautiful nature near the Rocky Mountains and cowboy culture. Jun, visiting Canada for the first time in his life, could not hide his excitement from the beginning of the trip, experiencing a time that fluctuated between laughter and emotion due to unexpected situations and new encounters.

The start of the trip was not entirely smooth. After picking up a rental car at the airport, Jun Hyun-moo lost his way on the return trip, making Lee Joon wait for a long time. After reuniting following these difficulties, the two traveled in a pickup truck to find Lee Joo-bin, who had arrived in Calgary first. Lee Joo-bin showed thoughtfulness by preparing cowboy hats for the two, creating a friendly atmosphere from their first meeting.

At a restaurant visited for dinner, Lee Joo-bin quickly built intimacy by suggesting she call Jun Hyun-moo "big brother" and Lee Joon "little brother." Their travel styles also aligned well. Lee Joo-bin, who revealed she enjoys spontaneous travel and tends to book flights and accommodations only after arriving at a destination, was met with enthusiasm from Jun Hyun-moo and Lee Joon. The three signaled the official start of their Canadian journey by tasting pizza and pasta.

The following day, after having breakfast at a restaurant recommended by a local staff member, they moved to Canmore, located on the way to the Rocky Mountains. After admiring the grand mountains and the charming village scenery, they enjoyed individual free time before attempting rafting on the Bow River. While enjoying the leisure in nature, Jun Hyun-moo drew laughter by looking at an elderly couple on a boat and asking, "When will I become like that?" Even amidst the romance of the trip, he could not hide his contemplations regarding marriage and the future.

During a picnic in a park, playful bickering between Lee Joon and Lee Joo-bin added to the laughter. When Lee Joon teased Lee Joo-bin's hearty eating habits by saying, "You're like a high school boy," she shot back, "You're like an elementary school boy." Having grown close in a short time, the two showed natural chemistry while bickering.

The highlight of the trip came at night. At Jun Hyun-moo's suggestion, the three visited a cowboy club and experienced Calgary's nightlife by learning line dancing with locals. In particular, Lee Joon appeared in a sleeveless outfit and raised the mood of the scene with his characteristic free-spirited dancing. Local men who watched his dance praised his skills, saying they tried to mimic his moves, and gave him thumbs up.

After dancing, Lee Joon expressed satisfaction with the local atmosphere of enjoying the dance itself rather than being conscious of how others look at them. Lee Joo-bin also agreed, noting that the healthy and pure energy of the locals was impressive. The sight of people immersing themselves in the joy of the moment, rather than trying to look good to someone else, left a deep impression on the three.

However, Jun Hyun-moo, who was watching this, suddenly reddened his eyes. Watching the youths learn to dance and rejoice brightly even at small achievements, he recalled emotions that had long since faded within himself. While he might have brushed it off with laughter in other circumstances, Jun Hyun-moo did not hide his feelings.

He confessed, "When was the last time I felt such an emotion?" and "It makes me cry because it is a side of myself I no longer have." It appears that the attitude of fully enjoying the present moment, rather than whether one dances well or how others view them, felt special to him. It was a moment where Jun Hyun-moo, who always shows a proficient side in his work and broadcasts, reflected on himself through the freedom of the youths encountered in a foreign land.

This trip went beyond simply experiencing the landmarks and culture of Canada. Reflecting on the future while watching an elderly couple and looking back at his past self while watching the local youths dance, Jun Hyun-moo revealed inner feelings he does not easily show. As the trip that began with laughter leaves a deep lingering impression with unexpected tears, interest is gathering in the continued Canadian journey of the three.

'This Is Hyunmoo Road' on MBN airs every Sunday at 10:30 PM. In the next broadcast, Jun Hyun-moo, Lee Joon, and Lee Joo-bin are expected to continue their journey by visiting various attractions in Alberta, Canada.
