[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Comedian Kim Jun-hyun caught attention by saying that the way to overcome the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is to "eat your favorite food and fight with strength."

On the afternoon of the 21st, KBS 2TV's 'Stand Up' featured comedian Kim Jun-hyun and comedienne Park Mi-sun, who showcased their wit.

When asked, "What was the most delicious food?" Kim Jun-hyun answered, "The most recent thing I ate," receiving applause.

Kim Jun-hyun also shared a way to distinguish good restaurants, saying, "If you can eat 6 to 7 servings of pork ribs per person without getting tired of it, then it's a pork rib specialty restaurant."

He then expressed his affection for pork ribs, saying, "Isn't pork ribs really delicious?"

He continued, "Life is ultimately about meat," and did not leave out stories about beef. He said, "Beef is not calculated by servings but by time," adding, "If I set my mind to it, I can buy beef and eat it for five hours."

On the other hand, when asked about foods he dislikes, Kim Jun-hyun said, "I concluded that there is nothing I particularly dislike, but there is one thing," and added, "Food that comes out late."

Finally, he urged overcoming COVID-19, saying, "Mark Twain said this: You have to eat your favorite food and fight with strength. I hope everyone can get through this difficult time deliciously and joyfully."
