On MBN's 'This Is Hyunmoo Road,' a scene will be revealed in which Jeon Hyun-moo declares he will stop filming during his trip to Da Nang, Vietnam.

■ The Reality Faced While Searching for a 'Place With No Koreans'

During the broadcast, Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Joon explore Da Nang with the goal of 'finding a place with no Koreans,' experiencing the true face of the local area. The two visited several massage shops to find one Jeon Hyun-moo wanted, but were flustered to encounter Korean tourists and Korean-language signs everywhere. Eventually, they entered a massage shop with no Korean signs, but when greetings from Koreans continued even there, Jeon Hyun-moo declared, 'I'm not filming here!'

■ Impromptu Soccer with Local Kids Running in Slippers

Next, the two played an impromptu soccer match with local children in a rural alley in Da Nang. Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Joon, whose stamina had waned, were amazed to see the children running even in slippers.

■ 'Not a Single Korean'... A Seafood Restaurant Packed with Locals

Following a recommendation from a local massage shop employee, the two visited a seafood restaurant and were surprised to see local customers filling two entire buildings. Lee Joon said, 'There's not a single Korean here.' They sampled various seafood including crayfish and tiger prawns, experiencing the local cuisine.

At the meal, Jeon Hyun-moo drank cola with his food and revealed his alcohol tolerance, saying, 'I get completely drunk after two drinks.' When Lee Joon asked whether he doesn't drink even on the day he receives an 'Entertainment Awards' grand prize, Jeon Hyun-moo replied, 'On days like that, I act drunk.'

■ 'People Don't Watch Forced Content'... Jeon Hyun-moo on Broadcast Trends

Lee Joon confessed he was worried because he was just enjoying himself without thinking about the show. In response, Jeon Hyun-moo shared his views on recent broadcast trends, saying, 'These days, viewers don't watch things where people force themselves to do something for the show.' He explained his own style of travel, saying, 'I only get true healing when I throw myself into an environment most different from Korea.'

Meanwhile, episode 2 of 'This Is Hyunmoo Road' airs at 10:30 p.m. on the 27th.
