[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Actress So Yi-hyun said after eating spicy jjambbong, "I will never say that I am good at eating spicy food anywhere."

On the 21st broadcast of the tvN variety show 'The Tasty Tour,' actor couple In Gyo-jin and So Yi-hyun, Oh My Girl's Arin, comedian Heo Kyung-hwan, and Kyuhyun appeared.

In the broadcast, Kyuhyun introduced a famous spicy jjambbong restaurant in Yeongdo, saying, "It is a very old spicy jjambbong place. The spiciness has four levels," and added, "Mutan is the basic flavor, Yutan is slightly spicy, Bomb is as spicy as spicy tteokbokki, and Atomic Bomb is said to be so spicy that you might be taken to the hospital. We are looking for volunteers to try the Atomic Bomb."

In Gyo-jin said, "I won't challenge it and will play it safe," and added, "I will eat the most popular second level, Yutan."

So Yi-hyun said, "I am good at eating spicy food. I will eat the Atomic Bomb. I purposely enjoy spicy food, so I usually don't eat danmuji (pickled radish) much."

After tasting the ordered jjambbong, So Yi-hyun said, "The aftertaste is very spicy," and laughed, saying, "I should not say that I am good at eating spicy food anywhere."

Kim Jun-ho, who ordered Mutan, said, "It tastes like slightly sweet jjambbong."

Then, Park Myung-soo, who chose Yutan, said, "It tastes like the spicy ramen we eat with some added red pepper powder," and In Gyo-jin said, "It's a bit spicier than I expected."

Arin, who ate the third level Bomb flavor, said, "It's okay. It tastes like spicy tteokbokki," and after eating the fourth level Atomic Bomb flavor, she said, "I'm really okay with it more than I thought."

Seeing the cast members leave food uneaten, Kyuhyun said, "(After watching the broadcast) many people will come to challenge it," and added, "It's so spicy that it should be considered a failure."
