To celebrate her song reaching number one, Jeon Soyeon (전소연) hosted a livestream where she pledged to eat a full vegetable meal. The appetizers included carrot juice, broccoli with gochujang (Korean chili paste), and cold cucumber soup. She commented that the carrot juice was better than expected, but after tasting the broccoli, a minute of silence fell over the broadcast. She then said, "Ah... hmm... it's better than I thought," before falling silent again and describing the broccoli as tasting like a ball of yarn. Upon smelling the cold cucumber soup, she even made a retching sound and apologized, specifically telling viewers, "Absolutely do not share this video."
Next came the starters, featuring "witch's soup" and Vietnamese spring rolls, with the main course yet to arrive. To fulfill her promise, Jeon Soyeon took a big bite of the Vietnamese spring roll, exclaiming, "It's amazing, amazing!" She described it as "vegetables having a party in my mouth," but added that it was "a flavor I'll never encounter again."
The main course was a "Monaco Home-style Slow-Aging Meal," reportedly containing ingredients like mushrooms, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, and avocado. After tasting it, Jeon Soyeon's reaction was, "...It really tastes like slow aging."
Finally, for dessert, there was carrot cake. She happily exclaimed, "So happy," and "This is what slow aging is!" However, her expression immediately soured when she unexpectedly bit into a dried bean on the side, almost spitting it out. After sharing her thoughts, she happily concluded the mukbang.
Below are translated comments from Korean netizens
1. Oh my ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is pure self-torture ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. No, there are so many delicious vegetable dishes, why only give her these hardcore ones~~~ㅠㅠㅠ I want to make her ratatouille or fish-fragrant eggplant, something tasty ㅠㅠㅠ
3. Eat something delicious!
4. Seriously, couldn't she just have some regular seasoned wild greens?
5. Cold cucumber soup is the worst ㅠㅠ
6. Give her fried eggplant, roasted carrots, something like that ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is too hardcore.
7. Ah... but for picky eaters, this menu is too tough. They should have catered from a famous vegetarian restaurant ㅜ
8. If she doesn't want to eat it, why force it? Is it a promise?
9. Since it's a promise, they probably intentionally chose this menu ㅋㅋ
10. Wow, that cold cucumber soup is brutal....
11. Even many vegetable eaters hate cold cucumber soup, it's too tough. I like vegetables, but carrot juice makes me vomit (no joke, I've actually thrown up from it and can't drink it since). It's a miracle she could eat it..
12. Even I, a vegetable eater, can't handle this lineup.... Please, just give her shabu-shabu ㅠ
13. They should have given her fried vegetables, cream of broccoli soup, carrot cake, things that are easier to eat. Isn't this too much torture? Cube, Cube..
14. The menu ㅠ It makes me want to quit my job. If you're going to give cold cucumber soup, at least give it with meat! ㅋㅋ
15. Wow, this is a lineup of things I can't eat and don't eat at all.
16. I can eat vegetables pretty well, but I hate broccoli too ㅋㅋ If you hate vegetables, this... this would be truly awful..
17. What she's saying while eating vegetables = the way to relieve stress is to eliminate stress, shouting while eating ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
18. For someone who hates vegetables, cold cucumber soup is a bit hardcore, right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Many people dislike cucumber to begin with, so she definitely can't eat it ㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
19. But since it's a number one promise ㅋㅋ it's good to try it wholeheartedly this time
20. They should have given her fried food...
21. Ugh, dangui juice and cold cucumber soup are too much ㅜㅜㅜ I hate carrots too ㅋㅋ I'd throw up if I ate them
22. As a fellow vegetable hater, this is hell.
23. Wow, I thought these were all delicious vegetable combinations ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
24. Her expression at the end turned into Cardi B ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
25. Cold cucumber soup is a bit much ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠ It's already polarizing.
26. Ah, I eat all these foods well, but if I ate them continuously, I'd find it hard too.
27. They should have given her fish-fragrant eggplant.
28. Give her shabu-shabu!
29. I'm happy listening to "I Want to Quit My Job," why should the composer be unhappy ㅠㅠ Just eat what you like ㅠㅠ
30. I like broccoli, can drink carrot juice, like Vietnamese spring rolls, but I absolutely despise cold cucumber soup!!! Isn't this too hardcore ㅋㅋㅋ
31. I hate cold cucumber soup too ㅋㅋ
32. That place is hell.
33. Ah, her expression is really too funny, haha.
34. Cube only prepared unappetizing things ㅠ The main dish was Moroccan home cooking...? And a slow-aging diet.
35. Oh dear, what to do ㅋㅋㅋ But it's strange, Soyeon always gets first place when she promises to eat vegetables ㅋㅋㅋ
36. Ah, her expression ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
37. I like vegetables, but I can't drink carrot juice ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
38. And she hates coconut, but it was carrot, coconut, and apple juice ㅠㅠ
39. Cold cucumber soup is polarizing even among people who like vegetables ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
40. Isn't she the vegetable hater who eats kimchi fried rice without kimchi?
41. She finally started eating the carrot cake for dessert ㅠ ㅋㅋ She finally smiled.
42. Now she's frowning again after smelling the beans.
43. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's truly a punishment, I thought it was a concept.
44. Is cold cucumber soup really that polarizing?!!!!!!!!!! Is it because many people dislike the taste of cucumber?...
45. Even I, who likes vegetables, wouldn't want to eat them like that ㅋㅋㅋㅠ
46. I like all of it ㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠㅠ Throw it my way!
47. Wow, cold cucumber soup is basically cucumber juice itself. Just smelling it makes me feel nauseous from my gut. First, among vegetables, cucumber's taste is overwhelmingly number one (the durian of the vegetable world), and it has a lot of water (the watermelon of the vegetable world). If it touches anything else for a second, other food immediately gets contaminated by cucumber juice... and the taste too..
48. It's a blessing there's no kimchi. As someone who also hates vegetables, this is an extreme difficulty. Next is cucumber.
49. She eats fewer vegetables than my dog ㅋㅋㅋ
50. If they gave her delicious food, they couldn't promote it, could they? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
51. Cold cucumber soup, ah ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So funny, she's really strong ㅜ
52. No, there are so many delicious vegetables ㅠㅠㅋㅋ Cold cucumber soup has a really strong taste, it would be hard for someone who hates it ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
53. Oh dear ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even I, who likes cucumbers, can't eat cold cucumber soup ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
54. Cold cucumber soup is too much.
55. I like cucumbers but hate cold cucumber soup; I hate sour things.
56. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Watching the content from 'I Live Alone,' it was so funny. She really hates vegetables; she picks out all the kimchi vegetables from kimchi pancakes and only drinks the soup. I completely understand how much she hates them ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
