• Lee Joon’s “not picky eater” promise tested by pig brain, and his face says it all

    Lee Joon found himself in tears while eating pig brain on the latest episode of World Dice Tour 3.

    On the May 17 broadcast of ENA’s World Dice Tour 3, new members Lee Joon, Cha Tae Hyun, and Kim Jong Min joined the popular travel trio “Kwak Ppa Won” (Kwak Tube, Pani Bottle, and Won Ji) for their latest global adventure.

    During the trip, Lee Joon traveled to Romania with Kwak Tube. While exploring local food, the two came across a rare dish even locals rarely eat—pig brain. The taxi driver even warned them it wasn’t something Romanians usually eat!

    At the restaurant, they were served a full-course meal featuring pig brain cooked in different ways. Lee Joon bravely tried the steamed version first. Kwak Tube described it as having a strong smell and a soft, unusual texture.

    The next version was served raw and looked even harder to eat. Though Lee Joon had confidently claimed earlier that he wasn’t a picky eater, he couldn’t hide his reaction. As soon as he put it in his mouth, his eyes teared up.

    Despite cheering from Kwak Tube, Lee Joon couldn’t finish it and ended up spitting it out. “Sorry, people of Romania!” he shouted, making everyone laugh.

    Meanwhile, ENA’s World Dice Tour 3 continues to show exciting and extreme travel adventures with viral travel creators Pani Bottle, Won Ji, and Kwak Tube, now joined by the three well-known stars.

    Yumi’s Cells Season 3 is a TVING original series based on the popular webtoon, and it follows Yumi’s emotional journey through love, growth, and healing—with the help of the tiny "cells" inside her head that represent her feelings.

    In the new season, Yumi comes back as a successful writer, and her cells are still going strong, supporting her through yet another chapter in her love life.

    What’s exciting this time is the appearance of Shin Soon Rok, a character that fans of the original webtoon have been waiting for. Viewers are curious to see how Kim Jae Won will bring this beloved character to life.

    Kim Jae Won first entered the entertainment scene as a model in 2018 and made his acting debut in 2021.

    He has appeared in dramas like Our Blues, “Stealer: The Treasure Keeper,” “King the Land,” “Hierarchy,” and most recently “The Tale of Lady Ok” and “The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call.”

    In “The Tale of Lady Ok,” he played Sung Do Gyeom and gained attention for his acting. In “The Trauma Code,” he showed a different side by playing Seo Dong Ju.

    He’s also currently working on Netflix’s “Lady Dua” and a drama called “Eun Joong and Sang Yeon,” proving just how in-demand he is right now.

    Fans can look forward to seeing Yumi’s Cells 3 in the first half of 2026 on TVING. With Kim Go Eun and Kim Jae Won teaming up, expectations are already rising for what’s to come!
