I don't care what people say this was a good episode, not everyone is spontaneous. That is how humans are I doubt most people here could do the same as Matty matheson or Action bronson. This trip meant a lot to them and we are lucky to see what these people are experiencing. It wasn't just for us, it was for his child, his colleagues and himself.

their son is named daewon bc hes been with his parents since day one HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Looks like Johnny got his soul ripped out of him after he got married, LOL

The dude's hair cracked me upped the whole video. lmao

So Basically Munchies sponsored your annual family holiday and staff picnic! Kudos

That main chef really reminds me of Toby from the office everything about him is Toby lol

This sort of stuff is why I fell in love with Munchies back in 2012. Keep up this quality of content consistently and I will have no problem supporting you guys again! :D Seriously stoked on Munchies doing legit stuff again.

One of the best I've seen on this channel. Beautiful!

18:26 literally me when Im cooking hahahaha I love that chef!

You guys messed up. Ate all the wrong food that has already been shown on other shows. The egg sandwiches and soy sauce raw crab is what should have been highlighted. You showed film of it but missed those true gems.

He looks so disinterested in life.

Imagine them all sat in awkward silence (as always) eating that meal and the noise of the kids cartoon playing.

So wonderful to see the relationship between these two fellows. Great job guys. Love this episode. 🌾 Green Blessings 🌿

We are as people all part of a small universe, we are as chefs, part of a small universe. Children of Chefs are apart of a huge UNIVERSE. God help them remember everything I love as an adult as a child.

This guy needs to be much happier for what he has. Please don't ever put these boring hipsters on this channel again.

This video fuels my desire even more to visit South Korea.

6526 miles from Chicago to Seoul

Hipsters really are a breed of their own.

12:05 I like how the translation by his son is slightly different lol

how far are we from chicago? 400 miles? good guess... 4000 miles? maybe even more than that 600 miles?

Dang Love that Grandma doe she's just like my parents a stickler for the old ways! Thats awesome! She right though so many machines nowadays that people forget how to do things without them. AHH refreshing and delightful!

I hope that guy gets some sleep after his trip.

lmfao when the chef cracked the egg in the wrong bowl at the end 18:21 lmao

The husband looks like Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philly

Thank you, Munchies for "Bringing the World" into my little corner window. Keep posting, I'll keep watching. I bid you Peace.

Hijacked on a bus for an all day site seeing adventure. I've been there, I saw the frustration on his face

Holy cow, lol. I have also messaged the US Dunkin Donuts and said the same thing! (and like you, no response). Dunkin Donuts in Korea is amazing, but in the US they always seem stale and flavorless aside from being way too sweet. I've also tried asking McDonalds in the US to make their creamed corn hand-pie they have in Korea a nationwide (or at least a South Eastern region) thing in the states. The creamed corn hand pie was a seasonal release in South Korea last year, but it was delicious and was a wonderfully nostalgic taste for this out of place Southern girl. US Baskin Robins really needs to up their game too. Korea has some of the best flavors over the years (and some of the worst, but still fun to try.)

I totally have (and absolutely LOVE) that Louisville is for Haters shirt!

I remember my last time going to Korea back in 2014. I remember the specific old lady who made me the eggs in bread on 4:25. I miss my family in Korea so much right now.

I have to go to work but can't stop watching

Wow that ice museam was beautiful! What a lovely episode.

This was a great episode! Super down to earth and love seeing people going back to their roots...yeah the main guy was a bit boring but not everyone is made to be on TV just chill guys

Welcome to my city ^^

Why does this episode feel like it belongs in the food network. This is vice for fuck sakes.

Chef Im is a straight up silver fox.

guys chill. the "white guy" is just documenting his journey of going back there in his skin. not everyone needs to be an energetic action bronson. not everyone has the same character or personality. he is calm and i think balanced out the very fast moving vacation they took.

Vice has some amazing music producers and mix engineers. Wow

One of the best videos from Munchies, I ve seen. GJ

Great episode! I've read some comments that this episode isn't as the same or as good as when there's Action Bronson or Matty Matheson etc. I love watching AB and MM and other cool chefs like them, but I also love watching these different kind of show vibes and these kind of chefs, so in my opinion this episode is as good as the others are. Sometimes people need alternatives, it'll make their lives easier than just sticking to one and commenting negativity or on how 'bad' and different this episode is.

I don't understand all the hate towards the guy. It wasn't fair that they basically forced them into a random documentary they weren't even aware of, and that they were put onto this tour they didn't sign up for. You can tell he's just gloomy because of that, but otherwise notice how he glowed up and was smiling when he was just with his wife talking to the chef. He has every right to show his displeasure, he isn't a trained media figure, he's just a restaurateur. I'm sure anyone else would be in a bad mood if they had a whole trip planned but had someone they don't even know hijack the plans.

When you see how on-board and committed every cook and employee was to going to Korea together, I think it shows how successful he is not only as a chef and a colleague, but as good leader. And the fact that he went back to visit his mentor it also shows how sentimental and appreciative he is of his roots and relationship with others regardless of any language barriers. Most people would accept that their training is in the past, and easily accept that any relationship that they had expired and feel no guilt with facing that fact. I sure have convinced my self from feeling guilty by telling myself, "Oh but I'm so busy" as an excuse to not see my past teachers and many of my high school friends.

"tastes really fresh" no shit, they just cut it up and served it to you wriggling lol

She totally had no idea what the mayor was talking about hahahhaha

That was so great to visit Seoul with your enter crew Thank you

that little kid...so cute

Hahaha the kidnapping was probably the most Korean thing ever. Having a meal with the mayor of hwacheon right next to you out of the blue 😂 hope it wasn't too awkward!

what an amazing, unique experience, thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Korea is awesome. Miss that place. Food was excellent!

This is cool, thanks for. Sharing to the public your experience of a very local South Korea.

Great episode! Gonna have to check them out sometime. Much love from Chi-town!

I can't stop laughing.. Hahaha.. The part that he cracks the egg in the wrong bowl and then suddenly laughs.. Hahaha

Great Video.. Munchies doing great job on creating inspiration videos. Which makes myself to start great resturant. Love the Story of Parachute ... Good luck Parachute Team. Greeting From India

What an amazing story. What a great representation of what Korea has to offer!

Ever visit N. Korea. Good fun!!

That poor child.

14:42 Daewon is just loving it :))

I have a half korean background I've been there many times and holy shit the street food is amazing

I knew Beverly looked familiar!!!!! Top chef!!!

That women at the market chopped up that baby octopus alive with scissors. OMFG.

such a chill episode

I feel the Seoul in this city

dude that bromance is real af

The Business Manager is such a troll.

first time i feel sad watching a munchies episode. food was cool tho.

i like this video👍 so great to see this food-guide on korean food.

OMG that Im ji ho chef is my friend's dad, randomly pops up on this video lol

Love cold foods but damn on a cold day idk if I wanna be eating chilled foods the entire time if I’m gonna have to eat my meal in an overcoat

good stuff here

That mayor talking shit on the low. hahhaaha

Really beautifully captured the culture, cuisine and adventure of Korea. What an amazing trip!

You are so amazing. Thank you for sharing 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️

Chanting music : halo

The Park family should name their kid Central.

that. was. awesome.

I loved this episode!!

fantastic work

i love this episode!

Chef im seems so cool

Never involve Korean politicians in anything.

Damn, I really want to visit Korea now, looks amazing!

Awesome ep

Interesting there's this Indian saying that my dad always tells me which is similar to what Chef Im said about fighting cold with cold and hot with hot. My dad is an Indian Chef and this makes me want to learn his craft from him.

Next time a little enthusiasm please. He acted like he didn't want to be there.

Okay, I'm old. Can the husband find a few seconds of time in his day to comb his damn hair.

ALL KINDS if that live octopus action ALL KIINDS!!

great work!

I would make a great food critic. "This food is bad."

love this ch

Nice one, Munchies..

Koreans are always looking fresh

WOW I'm so surprised how people are so negative towards John. I thought John was very respectful and calm. even chef Im said that he had calm personality even when he met him 7yrs ago. Maybe my perspective could be different because I'm Korean and also fully understand what Im said(he uses kind of vague words in Korean when he speaks) I felt like John was a bit calm and doesn't express himself very loudly because he's the one trying to learn and also respect the Korean culture. (or maybe that's just his personality.) I thought It was pretty good episode and kinda make me miss my country lol

3:07 grilled fresh kimchi, on a thin grill, with beef. no thank you.

1. Take octopus from tank. 2. Cut the fuck out of it and place on plate. 3. Add oil. Uh yeah why not.

As soon as I heard Korean fusion I 🙄

Sounded like a POINDEXTER instrumental in there???

Their kid's name got old on day 2

Great Video

that crab is probably my one month's salary

19:55 Medieval 2 total war anyone??????

Hey it's Booby Lee @2:32 lol
