Alongside fellow guests Hong Ji-yoon (홍지윤) and YouTuber Kwak Tube (곽튜브), Solji and the crew will explore a renowned charcoal-grilled black pork restaurant in Gyeongbuk's Gimcheon.
The episode features the four personalities embarking on a culinary adventure, selecting black pork as their first meal. As they travel to the restaurant, they engage in lively conversations about their experiences performing at various events across the country.
During the car ride, Hong Ji-yoon expressed her extensive event experience, stating, "I feel like I’ve been to almost every place with local specialties." Solji chimed in, reminiscing about her busy schedule during her time with EXID, where she often performed at universities and military bases. She recalled, "We used to do eight events in a single day, and then we would end with a music show recording," highlighting the demanding nature of their work.
Hong Ji-yoon also shared some memorable gifts received from fans during their travels, saying, "In Yeongdeok, I received snow crabs; in Jeju, I got rockfish; and during the beef festival, I received beef and a handwritten letter." This light-hearted sharing of experiences added a personal touch to the episode, giving viewers a glimpse into the lives of these entertainers beyond the stage.
As the group arrives at the charcoal-grilled black pork restaurant known for its unique offerings, Jeon Hyun-moo (전현무) humorously remarks on the youthful appearance of the restaurant owner, saying, "I brought carnations for Parents’ Day, but he looks younger than me," which brought laughter to the table. The atmosphere was filled with warmth as they settled in for dinner.
Once seated outdoors, the group began grilling the pork over charcoal. After tasting the first bite, they couldn’t help but exclaim, "This is really delicious!" Their genuine reactions showcased the culinary delight they experienced at the restaurant, which is already gaining a reputation for its charming ambiance and delicious food.
Solji's participation in 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3' comes at a time when she is enjoying a resurgence in her career as a contestant on 'Current King of Song 3' (현역가왕3), where she has made it to the top seven. This renewed visibility reflects her versatility as an artist, transitioning from group performances to individual endeavors, including musical theater.
