MBN's new variety program 'This Is Hyunmoo Road' will premiere on the 20th at 10:30 p.m. It follows Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Joon as they visit Da Nang, Vietnam, to explore local attractions and foods rarely visited by Korean tourists.

Jeon Hyun-moo introduced himself on the program as a 'rookie YouTuber,' saying that acquaintances encouraged him to upload travel content to YouTube in his own style while he was enjoying traveling. He emphasized that he has his own travel criteria for each city, explaining that he drove 900 km in Barcelona, went shopping in Tokyo, enjoyed gourmet food in Fukuoka, and took scenic drives in Sapporo.

However, the first destination was Da Nang, crowded with Korean tourists. Upon arriving in Da Nang, Jeon Hyun-moo asked a taxi driver for a restaurant frequented by locals, but ran into a language barrier. He eventually described pho with gestures and found a local restaurant. The restaurant's staff could not hide their surprise, saying it was the first time they had seen Koreans.

There, Jeon Hyun-moo also experienced late-night snacks that Vietnamese locals enjoy. After checking the ingredients, he hesitated briefly but showed his will to take on the challenge. On his way back to his accommodation, he interpreted a Vietnamese menu with a translation app and tasted street food.

The trip began in earnest once Lee Joon joined. Lee Joon confided that he has trauma about traveling due to fights with friends or partners, and offered his own travel rule: 'The top priority is that your travel companion has fun. And next...'

The two searched for spaces centered on locals, seeking places without Koreans. They even set a rule to immediately stop filming if they encountered any Koreans. Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Joon's unique local travel story will be revealed in the first broadcast on the 20th.
