Broadcaster Jeon Hyun-moo recently showcased his skills as a so-called "trend cutter" by attempting to make the dessert 'Dujjunku (thick and chewy cookie)', which has been gaining explosive popularity among the MZ generation.
On the MBC entertainment program 'I Live Alone' aired on the 20th, the process of Jeon Hyun-moo preparing the ingredients and cooking everything himself to complete his own 'Mujjunku' was revealed. Jeon Hyun-moo expressed strong confidence, saying, "The reactions were hot after the teaser was released," and added, "I was directly involved for the sake of popularization."
However, the reactions from his fellow cast members were both cold and amusing. Kian84 joked, "Are you holding a ritual to cut the trend?" and Lim Woo-il added, "Seeing the process makes me annoyed, so the Dujjunku trend is really going to end," which made everyone burst into laughter.
To realize the Dujjunku, which is hard to find in stores, Jeon Hyun-moo showed his passion by starting from 'zero base', including removing pistachio shells, making spreads, and preparing kadaif noodles. While looking at the messy kitchen during the cooking process, he candidly expressed his feelings, saying, "It looks like cow dung" and "I want to throw away the induction stove," but after a 5-hour struggle, he completed a cookie with an overwhelming visual the size of a king dumpling.
After tasting the completed cookie, Jeon Hyun-moo expressed satisfaction, saying, "It's super chewy," and even took a certification photo of the trending 'Dujjunku Lip' (a photo taken with the cookie against the lips). Seeing this, Code Kunst and Kian84 unleashed a barrage of harsh criticism, saying, "The eyes are more annoyed than the mouth," providing great laughter for the viewers.
Jeon Hyun-moo stated, "My pursuit of beauty is that everything should be excessive," maintaining his own style that is both thick in blood and rich in content. This episode, which reinterpreted a trendy item in his own way and brought laughter, has been evaluated as a testament to his unique sense of entertainment.
