Wait! Come on! Who told you to do that? What? Who taught him that? (Upset)
Come on... I mean...

You can't do this! (Today's John)
(EP. 10 Naengmyeon Date with John)

Let's eat something. - Eat something?
- Yes. We should. It's already 1 p.m. The naengmyeon video

has almost 400,000 views. (John Park's Naengmyeon (Cold Noodles) Vlog)
(390,000 views)

It's not 400,000 views yet, then? Right. Guys, let's pretend he's not there if we see him
at a naengmyeon restaurant.

This person says he'll pretend he
doesn't see me. Should we eat it then? Are you sure they won't notice you?

I mean... If you film me, they would
obviously know it's me. Shall we go inside?

(Looking around) Now that I'm here
and no one recognizes me, I feel a bit disappointed.

You said that people would know it's you if you're filming... There's a camera right
in front of you right now.

It's because this
is not the main branch. I'd be doing a meet and greet
right now if I went to the main branch.

(John Park is here) I won't insist that you try it (naengmyeon).

Naengmyeon... Pyeongyang naengmyeon... You don't have to eat it.

I've never had it (Pyeongyang naengmyeon). (Very serious)
But let me tell you something.

Do you have any idea
how many people want to eat naengmyeon with me? (Confident) You have no idea.

No way, really? Really? They include celebrities, too. People want to eat
naengmyeon with John Park.

How many are there? - What? - How many? Three people. People who like naengmyeon.

Oh~ Let's have naengmyeon together. Who was that supposed to be? (hesitation) Kim Gura.

Oh~ Let's have naengmyeon together. Your choices are Jinmi, Neungrado, Piyang-Og.

I recommend Jinmi! It has a clear broth and deep beef flavor. People who hate Pyeongyang naengmyeon

say it tastes like dishrag water. But it (the broth) is like a textbook case of that dishrag water taste.

('Jinmi Pyeongyang naengmyeon') (Textbook case of the dishrag water flavor)

I actually choose based on the region and side dishes. The side dishes are different? For sure. (Pork galbi + Pyeongyang naengmyeon = Bongpiyang)
For example, if I want pork galbi, I'll go to Bongpiyang.

(Bulgogi + Pyeongyang naengmyeon with flavorful broth = Woolaeoak)
If I want bulgogi at a fancy place,

(Bulgogi + Pyeongyang naengmyeon with flavorful broth = Woolaeoak)
and some flavorful broth, I'll go to Woolaeoak.

Neungrado is good, but... Let's go somewhere good then. Jinmi is good too.

They are both very good. Jinmi is closer though. (Flustered) Hahaha (Jinmi, a good Pyeongyang naengmyeon restaurant that's closely located)

My birthday parties were held at naengmyeon restaurants a lot. Oh really? Have you ever felt excited to go to a naengmyeon place?

(On his way to a naengmyeon place) I've come here since the second week it opened.

Are you sure you don't only go to places that are new? I used to do that.

It smells like a naengmyeon restaurant. That looks good. I don't need a spoon. Don't you need a spoon (for the broth)?

Using a spoon feels weird; I've never done it before. I've never used a spoon for naengmyeon broth.

(Drinking the broth straight from the bowl) Why did you order this first? Drink first, eat later.

Do you know "drink first, eat later"? I don't know. Drink first, eat the noodles later.

Okay, I begin by eating the salted shrimp first. It gets less greasy and enhances the pork flavor.

You must get a good amount of this sauce. You'll only taste the sauce, but it's not that salty.

But you do taste the sauce a lot. When it gets a bit cold, the dumpling skin gets chewier.

It's good. I'll have a dumpling. (How does it feel to be here with staff?) With staff,

I get excited. Oh, really? Even we don't take long. Most of them (the staff) like naengmyeon.

Everyone at Music Farm loves naengmyeon. Don't you think that's a biased opinion? It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

Some people didn't like it (Pyeongyang naengmyeon)... but they quit working there.

(Aha...) (How did it feel at first at Music Farm?) When I first joined, Lee Juck,

Kim Dongryul, Thomas Cook, Cherry Filter had joined the company. They were all musicians who I respected since long ago.

So it felt very interesting. Which artist did you admire the most before coming to Korea? Fin.K.L.

First off, I'll take out the egg. Do you see the egg yolk here? I'll take the meat out too.

I don't like the egg yolk to get mixed with the broth. What am I doing? I must drink the broth now.

I'll then loosen the noodles, which will release the starch and change the flavor of the broth. So I like to drink the broth first when it's pure.

I'm doing this to make my perfect bite. (A praise by the naengmyeon snob)

Jinmi, as always, naengmyeon is bad if it gets soggy. Don't just let it stay there like that...

If it stays rolled up, it will harden. Oh no... the egg. You can eat the egg if you like.

Wait! Come on! (Enraged!) Who told you to do that? - What? - Who taught him that?

Don't put kimchi on top of naengmyeon!!! Then, the kimchi soup and chili flakes will all get mixed into it!!!

- Be careful. - Wouldn't this add more flavor? I won't allow... Look at that.

That... You can't do this! It has the chili flakes and kimchi soup and everything. (If you were going to mix it) You didn't need to take out the egg then.

(You didn't tell me not to add kimchi) Hahaha. Why won't you just add everything in then?

(Worried) (I guess he likes it...) (Holding back) I want to be nosy.

But actually, this just means I'm a naengmyeon snob. You can just do whatever you want to make it taste good.

I just want to butt in, you know. I wanted to learn. (Okay, the...) Just eat it as is.

Be patient and enjoy the blandness. Take a lot of this (noodles). (Slurping by a naengmyeon snob)

I like it without vinegar or mustard. I like (to eat it) bland; it's just my preference.

If you like vinegar and mustard, you can add them. My wish is just that you like it. I hope that you like it.

(Tasty Pyeongyang naengmyeon) You said you weren't sure if it was good,
but you finished it.

I was thirsty. I got you. John Park nurtures naengmyeon students (Recruiting naengmyeon students)

(What does blandness mean to John Park?) Blandness means I prefer flavors that are not too strong.

For example, for pizza, I don't like rich or sweet potato pizzas. I just like plain cheese pizza.

The same thing goes for all kinds of food. I don't like it with strange additives. I like just plain and simple flavors.

I think that's why I love Pyeongyang naengmyeon. I think this goes not just for food but for everything.

I prefer boring things
over fancy and exciting things. For example, I don't like being excited like this.

I like this better. Just leaning on a wall and not doing anything. (My happiness is to enjoy
my current 'bland' moment)

So today, I came to a naengmyeon place
for the first time in a while and had some talk.

Instead of something super exotic,
I got to enjoy food that is most appropriate to my 'bland' lifestyle, so I'm happy.

I hadn't experienced this charm
(of blandness) in a while. Dongryul should try "eobokjaengban".

They don't have that ("eobokjaengban") here. It's not for a normal day like this.

Juck is soju. I'm not putting a price
on the extent of my love. I'm talking about his personality.

Juck is the life of the party and funny. Juck is soju. Jineon is calm like Pyeongyang naengmyeon,
but he's the real deal.

I'm like salted shrimp. Music Farm's condiment. Which condiment? Just a topping.
