Jun Hyun-moo Returns to Lee Joo Seung's Seongsu-dong Bossam Spot After Waiting 90 Minutes Without a Chair

Jun Hyun-moo will return on No Plans At All 3 to the bossam and kalguksu restaurant in Seongsu-dong where he once waited for an hour and a half. The MBN and Channel S variety show No Plans At All 3 will air a June 19 episode at 9:10 p.m. featuring Jun Hyun-moo and Kwak Joon-bin as they head to Seongsu-dong in Seoul.

The main thread of the episode is the question, “Where is my friend’s favorite restaurant?” Rather than simply following a famous dining spot, the program uses the cast members’ real personal networks and memorable meals as clues, leading them into neighborhood restaurants tucked inside the alleys.

The first stop is a return visit to a restaurant serving bossam and kalguksu, a place introduced to Jun Hyun-moo by actor Lee Joo Seung. In the episode, Jun describes himself as “a hip and trendy friend” even though he does not live in Seongsu-dong, then stands on the streets of the district with Kwak Joon-bin as they begin the search.

The restaurant is described as an old establishment known for serving bossam together with kalguksu. Jun calls it “the No. 1 place for value for money,” and instead of looking around like a first-time visitor, he chooses from the menu with the ease of someone already familiar with the place.

The point of the visit is less about discovering a brand-new restaurant than about the playful act of presenting a regular spot learned from someone else as if it were his own favorite. The person who originally told him about the restaurant is Lee Joo Seung.

At the restaurant, Jun calls Lee Joo Seung to ask about the best menu combination. Lee then goes back over how the food at the restaurant should be ordered and eaten, turning his earlier recommendation into a guide for the new No Plans At All 3 visit.

The link between Jun Hyun-moo and Lee Joo Seung was also shown last year on MBC’s Home Alone. At the time, the two traveled to Seongsu-dong and ate bossam and kalguksu together, and the scene drew attention for its grounded, everyday chemistry.

No Plans At All 3 is, in effect, bringing that memory back in this episode. The broadcast will also introduce Jun’s confession that, during a previous visit to the same restaurant, he sat on the floor without a chair and waited for an hour and a half.

Seongsu-dong has already become a crowded neighborhood filled with cafes, pop-up stores and brand shops. No Plans At All 3 places the emphasis elsewhere: the memory of standing in line for a meal, the menu recommended by a friend and the atmosphere of a restaurant that has lasted through the district’s rapid changes.

Before the broadcast, the restaurant name and exact menu lineup have been only partially disclosed. Still, the combination of bossam and kalguksu, Lee Joo Seung’s recommendation and Jun Hyun-moo’s long wait clearly frames the episode as a visit following a star’s regular dining spot.

The June 19 broadcast will reveal the menu pairing Lee Joo Seung points out over the phone, the actual spread behind Jun Hyun-moo’s comment about value for money and how this old restaurant appears inside the fast-changing landscape of Seongsu-dong.
