Comedian Lee Sang-jun embarks on a mukbang journey in Pattaya, Thailand, challenging himself to visit 8 restaurants within 24 hours.

The content will be revealed in episode 5 of 'Lee Sang-jun's Distant Eateries' on the Studio Wable YouTube channel.

For his day trip to Pattaya, Lee arrived at Incheon Airport even earlier than airport staff, a remarkable scene that earned him the nickname 'Incheon Airport Shutter Man.' Spending a full 7 of his 24 hours on travel, he set a goal of eating 8 meals in a single day.

During the journey, he also visited a boat noodle restaurant selected in the Michelin Guide. Boat noodles are a dish that originated from food being exchanged atop small boats. However, after tasting the food there, Lee said, "It's not a special flavor," admitting it fell short of his expectations. He also experienced a moment of feeling that something was missing from the noodles he ordered.

Later, Lee visited a seafood restaurant in Pattaya, livening up the atmosphere with seafood-related jokes. Upon arriving at the restaurant, he immediately recognized the distinctive smell of tom yum kung, saying it was his first time tasting it since his twenties. When fried sea bass was served, he hesitated due to the strong aroma of fish sauce, and pondering his first bite, he said, "I don't want to be disappointed."

Meanwhile, episode 5 of 'Lee Sang-jun's Distant Eateries' will be released on YouTube at 5 p.m. on the 25th.
