On May 1, 2026, South Korean television personality Jeon Hyun-moo (전현무) shared insights about his love life and new ideal type during the airing of MBN's popular show, '전현무계획3'. The episode featured Jeon alongside former baseball player Hwang Jae-kyun (황재균) and YouTuber Kwak Tube (곽튜브), as they embarked on a culinary adventure in Gyeongbuk Mungyeong.
The trio explored various eateries, sampling local delicacies and engaging in lighthearted banter. Hwang Jae-kyun, who recently retired from professional baseball, expressed his preference for city life over rural living, a sentiment echoed by Jeon and Kwak. During their culinary excursion, they indulged in dishes made from specially fed pork, including jokbal jjigae (pig's feet stew) and grilled pork, which showcased the region's unique flavors.
As the conversation shifted to personal matters, Jeon revealed that he used to enjoy eating bread a lot when he was in a relationship. "I ate a lot of bread when I had a girlfriend," he confessed, adding a humorous touch when asked if he had eaten any recently, to which he replied, "No, I haven't." This light-hearted exchange brought laughter among the hosts.
During the episode, Jeon also discussed his new ideal type, stating, "I prefer short women." This comment came as he reminisced about his past relationships, including his high-profile romances with model Han Hye-jin (한혜진), who stands at 177 cm, and announcer Lee Hye-seong (이혜성). Both relationships ended by 2022, with Jeon hinting at the differences in their heights as a factor in his current preferences.
Hwang, who retired from baseball just four months ago, also shared his thoughts on his early retirement, explaining that he wanted to leave the sport on a high note rather than risk declining performance. "I felt that if I continued for another year or two, I would be pushed out due to a drop in form," he said. He emphasized that maintaining his honor was more important than potentially earning a higher salary.
As the conversation progressed, Hwang opened up about his feelings toward remarriage and starting a family. He expressed a desire to have children, stating that he would like to train them in baseball. "I want to have kids to teach them baseball myself," he shared. His candid remarks about family life and aspirations for the future resonated with the audience, particularly as he joked about potentially marrying before Jeon, who teased him in response.
The episode of '전현무계획3' was well-received, especially among the MZ generation audience, who appreciate the blend of food and travel content. The show airs every Friday at 9:10 PM on MBN, featuring various culinary adventures and personal stories from the hosts.
In addition to the light-hearted discussions, the episode also highlighted Hwang's culinary recommendations, including dishes from Daegu and Busan, such as gopchang jeongol (beef tripe stew) and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), which added a regional flavor to the show's content.
As the hosts wrapped up their food trip, they acknowledged the cultural significance of food in connecting people and sharing experiences. Jeon, Hwang, and Kwak's chemistry on screen entertained viewers and provided a glimpse into their personal lives, making the show relatable and engaging.
Looking ahead, fans can expect more entertaining episodes featuring the trio as they explore other culinary destinations in Korea. The next episode promises to maintain the show's tradition of blending humor, food, and personal stories, continuing to captivate audiences across the nation.
