Hometown Flex (Seoul Bumpkin / Seoul Chonnom / 서울 촌놈)

The weather is beautiful today.

It's not too hot or humid. - This way.

I didn't know that we had a sunroof.

Perfect.

Nice.

We've come to Jeonju to film a lot, right?

Yes, I've been here a few times for filming.

What's in Jeonju? - A lot of good food.

Because it's Jeonju? - Yes.

I wonder how many meals we're going to have today.

Right from the tollgate,

it feels like you're entering...

a very traditional bibimbap place.

You saw the tollgate? - Yes.

These days,

fancy hanok houses are really big.

Yes, they now have hotels...

at these hanok houses.

Those are beautiful.

Jeonju is a beautiful city.

It's beautiful and also clean.

Defconn is doing the tour today.

Defconn? - Where are we supposed to go?

You want to call Defconn?

Yes, call Defconn.

Ask him where we're meeting. - This screen is huge.

Hello? - Hey!

Hello.

Hey, brother!

Where are you?

We just got off of Jeonju IC.

Is that right? - Yes.

"Is that right?"

Come to the guesthouse.

The guesthouse? - Yes.

I thought you said death.

It sounds the same.

Where is it?

It's where all Jeonju people meet.

Okay.

There's a sign that says, "Pungpaejigwan".

Pungpaejigwan?

All right. We'll note that down.

Pung. - Yes.

Pung... - Pae.

Pungpaejigwan.

Jigwan? - Yes.

Pungpaejigwan!

Yes. Pungpaejigwan.

Park at the parking lot and walk. It's a short walk.

How do I get there from the parking lot?

Do I really have to tell you that?

We're not using the GPS.

We're noting down your directions and following that.

We're also recording you. - Yes, we're recording you.

We're noting down and recording your directions.

Really? - Yes.

How old-fashioned of you.

What do you mean? This is a new thing.

Come on.

You think we're recording you with a voice recorder?

You think we're using a cassette tape or something?

We're going very high-tech.

We're going high-tech...

and recording you while writing the directions down.

All right. - All right.

See you.

Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

You're the sons of Jeonju.

Sons of Jeonju?

I had no idea.

Of what? - That you were a Jeonju local.

Really? - Yes.

I always tell people that I'm from Jeonju.

I knew. - Did you?

When they asked me who I thought will be locals,

I mentioned you. - Really?

Which part of Jeonju are you from?

I'm from Samcheon-dong. - Samcheon-dong?

What about you? - I'm from Seosin-dong.

Really? The whole neighborhood is being rebuilt, right?

It's funny...

You're from Seosin-dong? - Yes, Seosin-dong.

It's funny,

because I'm so used to living in Seoul,

I can't think of much to do here.

I got bored. - Yes, I haven't been here...

in so long that I don't know the directions anymore.

Me neither.

Everything has changed.

We used to walk around here back in the days.

That's right. There's a bus stop right at the front.

Do you know the cafe on the second floor?

They used to sell parfait there.

Parfait? - Yes, parfait.

Did you grow up eating parfait?

Yes, people my age still ate parfait growing up.

Yes, we're not much older than him.

We also grew up eating pork cutlets.

You know the pork cutlet set? - Yes, I remember the set.

There used to be a restaurant here that sold pork cutlet sets.

He said that it's a guesthouse.

Pungpaejigwan.

How can we get there from the parking lot?

Check the memo.

We can play it.

We have to go this way to go left.

It's easy from this point.

Is that it? - That must be.

Yes, it's a guesthouse.

Where? - Over there.

Guesthouse.

This is it!

The "Pung" isn't the same character that I had thought of.

Pungpaejigwan.

Hello! - Hey!

There they are. - Hello.

It's been so long.

Hello. - Hello.

Hello. - Hello.

Here you are. - Nice to meet you.

Hello. - Hello.

It's been so long.

It's your first time meeting Tae Hyun, right?

Have a seat.

You found the guesthouse.

Defconn, is there a reason...

why you brought these two to the guesthouse?

Why did you tell us to come to the guesthouse?

It's a guesthouse called Pungpaejigwan.

What does that mean? - It means...

How long has it been since you last visited here?

I come here several times a year.

Me? Jeonju?

Do I need to come here often?

See?

I'm a Seoul local.

I live in Seoul.

You've never been to the Hanok Village, have you?

The Hanok Village didn't exist when I was young.

The whole city was filled with hanok houses, after all.

Right, it wasn't there back then. - Not when I was younger, either.

Really?

I've been there a few times...

because I'm a Seoul hillbilly.

It's a must-visit for tourists.

Hillbillies like Seung Gi always ask...

where they can get good bibimbap.

They always ask that. - It's always bibimbap.

But the locals here don't eat bibimbap.

Us locals don't eat bibimbap.

We don't eat bibimbap here.

There's a ranking for good bibimbap in Jeonju.

No. - Jeonju locals...

don't eat bibimbap. - You don't?

Jeonju bibimbap is a little cliche.

We just mix everything into our bowls at home.

We don't pay to have bibimbap.

Really? - Yes.

I guess bibimbap is...

for Seoul hillbillies. - That's right.

But it was good. - It's delicious.

You can't get bad food here in Jeonju.

I think the biggest struggle I've had...

moving to Seoul was...

adapting to the food.

Everything in Jeonju is good,

so I couldn't get used to having mediocre food in Seoul.

Food in Seoul is much more expensive, too.

That's true. - It's cheap here.

We do take pride in our food.

Yes.

And we're very friendly.

What does it mean to be friendly in Jeonju?

The number of side dishes you get.

We're always getting more than we asked for.

That's right.

Sometimes, they even share their own food from home with you...

when you're eating at a restaurant.

I guess that's why there are so many side dishes here.

Yes, that's what Jeonju meal sets are known for.

Side dishes fill up the entire table.

You get everything.

When you go to restaurants serving Korean table d'hote,

set menus, or makgeolli,
