In episode 10 of ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 4,’ Jeon Hyun-moo and 2AM visited Pohang and Yeongdeok on September 4, revealing the program’s approach at restaurant doorways before the food even appeared.
Jeon Hyun-moo asked for permission to film at a restaurant and personally apologized when the owner reacted with embarrassment.
It was a funny moment in one episode, but it is also worth considering the scope of the “no-plan” approach described by the program.

The Owner’s Reaction: “Please Call Ahead”
In episode 10 of ‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 4,’ jointly produced by MBN and Channel S and broadcast on September 4, Jeon Hyun-moo and 2AM members Lee Chang-min, Jo Kwon, Lim Seul-ong, and Jeong Jin-woon visited a moriguksu restaurant in Pohang. After telling the group that he had to handle the filming request himself, Jeon Hyun-moo entered the restaurant and asked whether filming was possible.
While allowing the filming, the restaurant owner responded in a way that conveyed that she would have preferred to receive a call in advance. Jeon Hyun-moo explained that the program visits places without making arrangements beforehand, and when Lee Chang-min suggested that he apologize, he did so while saying, “Because it’s no-plan.”
What can be confirmed from this scene is the conversation and reactions captured on the broadcast when the group visited that restaurant. It cannot be extended to mean that the program had absolutely no advance preparation during every stage of filming. However, the fact that the moment of visiting a restaurant and asking for permission was used as a major scene clearly shows how the “spontaneity” of a travel variety show is presented.
From Pohang’s Moriguksu to Yeongdeok Snow Crab
The day’s journey began with moriguksu in Pohang and continued with blowfish large-intestine grill, followed by grilled shellfish, seafood, and snow crab in Yeongdeok. During the meal, the 2AM members played a game in which they guessed one another’s identities solely by listening to their eating sounds, and Jeong Jin-woon correctly identified the sounds of Lee Chang-min and Lim Seul-ong.
Lee Chang-min said that he had lost 13kg while taking part in the ‘Nameless Legend’ competition and a national tour. He also said that he told the members about his participation in a trot competition around the second round of the main competition, and that he felt pressured because an early elimination might shake his image as a vocalist. These were the thoughts Lee Chang-min himself shared on the broadcast at the time.
In Yeongdeok, Jo Kwon revealed that his current weight was 59kg, while Lim Seul-ong enthusiastically began a mukbang when the snow crab arrived. After the meal, 2AM sang, and an impromptu duet by Jeon Hyun-moo and Lee Chang-min was also included in the broadcast.
Apologies and Permission as Devices for Laughter
The most noticeable aspect of this episode was that the process of obtaining permission to film, rather than the celebrities’ visit itself, became the starting point of the story. The owner’s predicament, Jeon Hyun-moo’s apology, and Lee Chang-min’s jokes followed one another, turning the awkwardness created by the unannounced visit into humor.
‘Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 4’ layers the guests’ conversations and on-site reactions over scenes introducing food. The Pohang–Yeongdeok episode likewise did not merely list local dishes; it also incorporated conversations arising from 2AM’s competition challenges and their years of working together. That is why the brief apology at the restaurant remained as a scene explaining the overall mood of the episode.
