Comedian Lee Sang-jun takes on a 24-hour '8-meal one-day mukbang' in Hanoi, Vietnam.

The YouTube content 'Lee Sang-jun's Far-Flung Food Spots,' produced by Studio Double, premieres on the 28th at 5 PM. It captures Lee experiencing local food and culture as he tours various restaurants in Hanoi within a single day.

Lee departed from Incheon International Airport at 4 AM, planning to experience all of Hanoi's food and attractions within a tight schedule. He expressed his ambition, saying, "There are so many things that don't exist in Korea. I'll show you just how much food and sightseeing Hanoi has to offer, all in one day."

◆ From Obama's Bun Cha Restaurant to a Michelin-Selected Pho Restaurant

In the content, Lee visits eight Hanoi restaurants recommended by subscribers in turn. Starting with the bun cha restaurant visited by former U.S. President Barack Obama, he also found a pho restaurant selected by Michelin for three consecutive years. At each restaurant, he introduced unique sauce combinations, honest taste evaluations, and various food tips.

Discovering a long line in front of the Michelin pho restaurant, Lee could not hide his surprise, saying, "How delicious can pho be to get Michelin recognition three years in a row?" and "People actually line up like this to eat at a pho restaurant?"

◆ An 'I Love You' Confession and a Chance Encounter with an American Fan

In the food alley of Hanoi's Dong Xuan Market, a scene unfolds where Lee navigates spots crowded with locals and communicates with the owner of a fried shrimp restaurant. During this process, an episode is revealed in which he receives an 'I love you' confession from the owner's daughter.

The content also includes him quickly touring major tourist attractions such as Hanoi's Old Quarter and tasting traditional desserts. In the middle of downtown Hanoi, he ran into an American fan who recognized him by chance, leading to laughter over an unexpected request.

Episode 1 of 'Lee Sang-jun's Far-Flung Food Spots' can be watched on YouTube on the 28th at 5 PM.
