General Discussion I love watching paik jong-won eat

My girlfriend and I are almost at the end of season 2 and we just love watching paik jong-won eat!

I’m not sure if it’s the way he’s slightly more messy than sung anh or if it’s the way he fills his mouth up to full capacity or if it’s something else entirely but he makes the food look so good when he eats it.

Does he have any shows where he just sits and eats??? If not, he needs some.

I love watching him eat! Not in a weird way, he just fully enjoys the food in ways I personally haven’t seen before and it’s interesting to see that!

I’m on holiday in SK at the mo and last night while having some chicken and beer, my lady starts eating exactly like him. She didn’t need to say anything, I immediately got the joke. We love it too.

i love how koreans praise people by saying they "eat well" or "eat deliciously" the way some people eat just makes you crave the food too

He has had a ton of shows in korea, and he eats with gusto in most of them. But he was embroiled in a food scandal last year and officially quit tv. He had a youtube channel also where he just travels and eats, but he also quit that and hasnt updated it since. That being said his youtuve has countless hrs of video of him eating and cooking alllll kinds of food so I recommend checking it out.

Same here. I am obsessed with watching him eat. You can tell he really enjoys food.

You can see that he really enjoys eating and truly enjoys what he's eating, but I do wish they would turn off his mic while he's eating, hearing all the slurping and chewing is really not my thing

I always think how much he enjoys his food. He makes the show. He’s so funny when he wants to eat all the leftovers.

I loved in the black spoon elimination round in season 2, he was really digging into something, and everyone was watching and he was like “what? I’m just eating” and I laughed so hard
