The story will be featured on the March 6 broadcast of Moo No Plan 3 , a variety show aired on MBN and Channel S. In the episode, host Jeon Hyun-moo and travel creator Kwak Jun-bin travel to Jeju Island with Pyo Ye-jin as their “food friend,” enjoying a culinary tour while exploring local markets and restaurants.
During the trip, the trio visits Daejeong Five-Day Market near Mosulpo Port, where they search for local food spots and share personal stories. One of the restaurants they stop by originally served grilled tilefish but later became famous for its bommal kalguksu, a noodle dish made with sea snails known for capturing the flavors of Jeju’s ocean.
After tasting the dish, Kwak Jun-bin praised the meal, saying it tasted like “a rich and elegant seaweed soup.” Pyo Ye-jin also appeared delighted with the food and joked, “Both of our birthdays were recently, so this feels like a birthday feast.”
During the conversation, Jeon Hyun-moo brought up the actress’s unexpected background. He admitted that he had not known she used to be a flight attendant and even heard she had once been the youngest in the profession. Pyo Ye-jin confirmed the story, explaining that she began working as a flight attendant at just 19 years old and stayed in the job for about a year and a half.
She also shared why she eventually decided to leave a stable career in aviation to pursue acting. According to the actress, she began thinking seriously about her future and wanted to take on a new challenge. “When I thought about my life ten years later, I wanted to try something that involved taking risks,” she explained.
The decision was far from easy. Pyo Ye-jin revealed that during the early days of her acting career, she worked tirelessly to find opportunities. “When I first started, I would visit around ten places a day just to deliver my profile,” she said, recalling the struggles she faced while trying to break into the industry. Pyo Ye-jin eventually made her acting debut in 2012 through the MBC drama Here Comes Mr. Oh , marking the beginning of her career as an actress.
Viewers will be able to hear more about her life story and watch the trio’s food adventure in the “Jeju Seafood Special” episode of Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3 , airing March 6 at 9:10 p.m..
