Hello, Everyone. I am Jung Ilwoo, who is a Chef Jung in the village shop. Because I am in the middle of shooting a film I was not able to attend the press conference.

Are all the Village members doing well?  Just like the rest of the cast it was my first time visiting Gapado island. It’s a really beautiful island and I want to go back there now.

I am the main chef in the Village Shop, and I made a menu with some Haeyeos (seafood diving women). Whenever I cooked, people told me that the dishes are tasty, and that made me feel like I achieved something.

I will introduce the menu of the Village Shop. I cooked them only with local ingredients from Gapado island. These are dishes with murex and foraged barley.

First, it’s “Haenyeo’s Mom noodle”, and two types of spicy noodles: ‘Wave noodles’ and ‘Gashiri noodles’. These are noodles made of soybean paste and red chili paste. Finally, I prepared “Gapado gimbap”

I prepared them really carefully with the Haeyeos, so if you have time, please visit us.  Also, please show us a lot of love to the Village shop, where you can see me and the members being ‘real’ to each other. 

This was Jung Il woo. Thank you!

Each member of the cast had a role they played depending on their talents.

Here is an article translated through Papago.  It says that the program will be available through the channel MBC Every 1 too.  Interesting that they do not post anything on YouTube.  Hopefully after!

Village Love Shop, run by Ji Sung-ryul, Lee Joon-hyuk, friendly Jung Il-woo and Joo-E, will be unveiled.

The production presentation of MBC Plus’ Village Love Shop was held at 11 a.m. on the 25th. Lee Joon-hyuk, Jung Ha-woon, Ji Sang-ryul, and Joo-yi attended the production presentation held online to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Village Love Shop is an entertainment program that provides healing and impression through the beautiful scenery of Gapado Island, the shortest island in Korea, and the pleasant village space regeneration process of the cast.

Regarding Gapado Island, which was the background of the program, Ji Sang-ryul said, “I thought it was a place I wanted to go again with a precious person while building mileage in 52 years. Gapado Island is like a shelter in my life that becomes an air purifier when my life is cloudy,” he said.

Lee Joon-hyuk said, “Gapado Island is a great place to take pictures. “It’s thrilling the moment the waves come in,” he said. Joo-yi said, “It’s the first time I’ve entered the island by boat. It was so pretty and there was a different appearance from season to season, which was so good. “I was happy to have fun filming with my seniors,” he said.

Entertainment programs that run stores in beautiful places are already a frequent concept. When asked about the differentiation of “village love shops,” Jeong-geun said, “I also doubted that part a lot. I kept asking the PD. The difference between the programs is that they operate with local haenyeo and save the local economy together, so they are different,” he said.

On this day, Lee Joon-hyuk mentioned Jung Il-woo, who was absent from the production presentation. He said, “It’s too bad. Jung Il-woo couldn’t come because of his personal shoot. “I was injured in the middle of the shoot, so I couldn’t meet the schedule because I was recovering and filming,” he said.

In the video message released, Jung Il-woo said, “I was forced to absent due to the filming of the movie. I was in charge of cooking with haenyeo. I felt rewarded when many people said it was delicious. “The menu of Village Love Shop is decorated with ingredients that can only be tasted in Gapado Island. “We prepared it carefully, so please visit us,” he said.

Ji Sang-ryul said, “The youngest Joo-i is an adult. I have a lot to learn from Joo-E. She cheered all her silly oppas. “It was a role that gave us strength when we were tired,” he said. Also, “The member combination scores 10 out of 10.” I think paintings that I haven’t seen before are good, even though I’ve given familiarity. It’s not because this combination is mixed, but red, orange, yellow, green, and blue are all different. “They all come in different colors,” he said.

Lee Joon-hyuk praised Joo-Es tireless energy. He said, “It was good to see each of them play their roles. JooE has a lot of magnetic strength. If you’re next to me, it’ll just stick together. Tension is at the top of the stave. “The more I see it as high tension, the more attractive it is,” he praised.

Sang-ryul Ji said, “We need to increase the number of franchises.” First of all, I’m just warming up the second store,” he said. Lee Joon-hyuk also said, “Because the purpose of the work is good, I can go anywhere and have fun with these members.”

Ji Sang-ryul, who is confident of the success of the program, made an exceptional pledge, saying, “If the ratings exceed 3%, I will cut my hair into three shapes.” Lee Joon-hyuk mentioned MBC Every1’s highest ratings ever recorded by “Welcome, First Time in Korea.” When Ji Sang-ryul asked what he would do if the ratings did not come out, Lee Joon-hyuk said he would cut Ji Sang-ryul’s hair into three.

Joo E said as a pledge for ratings, “If 3.3%, MOMOLAND will perform free of charge at the first, second, and third stores.” If we get a 2.7% viewer rating, we will receive free guests for one day at the cafe we run, Jeong Rueun said.

Village Love Shop can be found at 11 p.m. on the 29th through MBC Everyone and the season.
