🍽️ What Is Siggaek Heo Young-man's Baekban Giyaeng?

TV Chosun's "Siggaek Heo Young-man's Baekban Giyaeng" (Food Traveler) is a show where Heo Young-man — the author of the legendary Korean food comic Siggaek (The Gourmet) — travels across Korea every week to discover authentic local home-style meals. It airs every Sunday at 7:50 PM KST.

In Episode 334, iconic actress Hwang Shin-hye — once dubbed the "bookmark goddess" of Korea — joined as a guest food explorer in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province. The episode, which recorded a Nielsen Korea rating of 1.2%, became a talking point thanks to Hwang's candid charm and a touching story about her family.

 

✨ Episode Highlights – Hwang Shin-hye's Unexpected Side

💬

"My only rival is my past self" — Hwang Shin-hye, once mentioned alongside Brooke Shields and Sophie Marceau as a global beauty icon and beloved "bookmark goddess," delivered this bold declaration with confidence, winning over viewers immediately.

😂

Completely disarmed by food — Despite her image as a cool, composed "computer beauty," Hwang couldn't put her chopsticks down in front of great food. She was especially helpless against the doebiji jeongol (soybean stew) and the 200-hour aged Korean beef, showing off an endearing and very relatable foodie side.

😢

Her brother's story brought viewers to tears — She revealed that her younger brother became fully paralyzed in a car accident at age 29, but went on to become a mouth-and-foot painter, finding a new purpose in life. The moving love story between her brother and his devoted wife also left a deep impression on viewers.

🥩

Blind taste test: 200-hour aged sirloin vs. regular sirloin — After hearing the restaurant owner's philosophy on aging meat, Hwang took on a blind taste challenge on the spot. As a known food enthusiast, all eyes were on whether she could tell the difference — and she did.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I watch Baekban Giyaeng Episode 334 again?

You can re-watch the episode on TV Chosun's official website (tvchosun.com) or on Naver TV (tv.naver.com/tvchosun.siggaek). Some episodes become available for free after a certain period following the original air date.

Do I need a reservation at Kong Gara Maetdol Doebiji?

Walk-ins are welcome for most menu items (doebiji jeongol, kong tang, doebiji jjimyi, etc.). However, the pork belly suyuk requires a reservation at least 2 hours in advance. Given the post-broadcast rush, it's a good idea to call on the morning of your visit to check wait times.

What makes 200-hour aged sirloin different from regular sirloin?

During the aging process, natural enzymes in the beef break down muscle fibers, resulting in a noticeably more tender texture and a deeper, more concentrated umami flavor. While many Korean beef restaurants dry-age for 21–28 days, Han Geun Jip uses around 200 hours (approximately 8 days) as their sweet spot, carefully monitoring each cut's condition. Hwang Shin-hye verified the difference firsthand during the blind taste test — the aged sirloin had a richer, juicier quality that stood out clearly.
