In the 353rd episode of KBS2’s ‘Sadanggui,’ Yang Joon-hyuk stunned viewers by unveiling the unique talent behind his famous ‘Yang Shin’ birthmark during a visit to a 130-year-old Hong Kong-style restaurant.
Birthmark’s Hidden Superpower
Yang Joon-hyuk demonstrated his ‘beam soup’ eating technique, widening his eyes in intense focus as he transformed his face for the perfect scoop. Entering the historic venue, he remarked, ‘It’s scary and lacks any warmth,’ before diving into content like ‘best menu you context’ and other quirky phrases, sparking lively banter with the cast.
National treasure-level cast member Lee Young-ae quipped, ‘Is that so strong?’ while others reacted to his bold conversation with, ‘Is Junhyuk’s vibe just music? Is that the room?’ drawing sympathy and laughter.
Signature Dish Mastery
The restaurant’s iconic ‘beam soup’ matches Yang’s signature puffed-cheek style. He declared, ‘This is excess beam soup,’ grabbing a spoon to make precise adjustments. His legendary ‘Yang Shin’ birthmark, resembling a spoon on his hand, excels at capturing the elusive ‘beam’ ingredient.
Yang shared a personal anecdote: ‘In high school, I personally caught a beam, ate it, and played baseball.’ He elaborated, ‘With hands like a big cow, grabbing the handle to craft the training ground rice cakes—beam emerges clearly from them,’ and ‘Without money for boar-like supplements, I couldn’t eat fancy stuff, so I seized beams appearing at the training ground and nurtured them.’
This skillful ‘beam soup’ performance promises to captivate audiences when the episode airs.
KBS2’s ‘Sadanggui’ broadcasts every Wednesday at 4:40 p.m.
