Lee Jang-woo to Showcase New Side in MBC’s ‘Country Village Lee Jang-woo’

(Xports News Reporter Kim Hyun-jung) This November, actor Lee Jang-woo will meet viewers with a new side of himself through the new MBC program ‘Country Village Lee Jang-woo’.

MBC’s ‘Countryside Village Lee Jang-woo’ is a program in which actor Lee Jang-woo spends all four seasons with his neighbors in a rural village and revitalizes a local abandoned brewery into a ‘hot place.’

Actor Lee Jang-woo, who is happiest when he is eating and cooking, has started the challenge of his life in Jeolla-do, the city of taste. The broadcast will feature him, who is acknowledged as a ‘food expert’ by everyone, opening a restaurant with makgeolli that he personally participated in planning and side dishes that he personally developed.

Since last spring, Lee Jang-woo has devoted himself to studying makgeolli and side dishes against the backdrop of the Gimje plains, and after many attempts, he has finally completed the optimal makgeolli and menu. The new dishes and sensational flavor combinations presented in each episode stimulate the mouths of viewers beyond the screen.

Lee Jang-woo’s warm charm shines even more in this program. The rural chemistry he creates with the elderly people with an average age of 80 is another fun point of the program. Lee Jang-woo completely blends into the rural village of Gimje by farming with the villagers, learning the secrets of kimchi, and eating together.

Even in Gimje, Jeolla Province, which is famous for its delicious food, Lee Jang-woo’s food shined. The residents were curious about his recipes, praising the dishes he made with his own secret recipes, saying things like, “It’s not easy to make this taste good,” and “He’s really good at cooking.”

The residents not only tasted and evaluated Jangwoo’s food together, but also actively participated in menu development by sharing their own recipes that capture the flavors of Jeolla Province, thereby contributing to this local revitalization project.

‘Countryside Village Lee Jang-woo’ combines Lee Jang-woo’s sincerity about cooking with his passion for promoting and revitalizing quiet country villages to present hearty laughter and lingering emotions at the end of this year.

It has been reported that special guests, consisting of Lee Jang Woo’s ‘real friends’ who have not been revealed on TV before, will come to help Lee Jang Woo, who is struggling in a rural village on the brink of extinction, raising expectations.

The ordinary stories of the local residents piled high in the local brewery and the ceaseless challenge of Lee Jang-woo, who stirs up the town by adding new stories on top of them, are moving and entertaining to viewers.

MBC’s ‘Countryside Village Lee Jang-woo’ will first air in November.
