Taxi Driver Star Pyo Ye-jin Unleashes Surprise Comedy Skills on Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3

Actress Pyo Ye-jin, beloved for her role as the brilliant hacker Ahn Go-eun in the hit SBS drama series Taxi Driver, is set to showcase a completely different side of herself on the upcoming episode of variety show Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3. The MBN and Channel S food-focused program will air its 21st episode on the evening of March 6, featuring Pyo as a special food friend guest alongside hosts Jeon Hyun-moo and popular YouTuber Kwak Tube.

The episode takes the trio on a delightful culinary adventure across the scenic island of Jeju, with the spotlight on the regions famous seafood. Their main destination is a restaurant renowned for its bomal (sea snail) kalguksu, a local specialty that perfectly captures the essence of Jeju coastal cuisine.

A Grand Entrance With a Witty Gift

In a preview that has already delighted fans online, Jeon Hyun-moo teases the identity of his guest by describing her as a former flight attendant turned actress who recently worked at a transportation company, a playful reference to the Taxi Driver franchise. Kwak Tube instantly guesses Pyo Ye-jin, recognizing the clever hints tied to her iconic drama role.

Upon her arrival, Pyo immediately sets the tone for the episode by presenting Jeon Hyun-moo with a perfume as a gift. She introduces the fragrance with a perfectly deadpan explanation, noting that its name is Poor But Sexy, sending the studio into fits of laughter. The veteran MC, momentarily flustered, recovers with a self-deprecating quip, admitting that he is indeed emotionally impoverished, establishing instant comedic chemistry between the pair.

The Age Debate That Stole the Show

Perhaps the most entertaining segment comes when the topic of age arises. Jeon Hyun-moo reveals that Pyo Ye-jin and Kwak Tube were actually born in the same year, with the YouTuber arriving just one day earlier. Pyo, however, seizes the upper hand by declaring that she identifies as being born in 1991 and entered university as part of the class of 2010, one year ahead of Kwak Tube who was in the class of 2011.

With impeccable comedic timing, Pyo tells Kwak Tube he is welcome to call her noona, the Korean term for an older sister used by males. The exchange leaves everyone in stitches and firmly establishes Pyo as a natural entertainer beyond her dramatic acting chops. She continues firing off sharp one-liners throughout the trip, at one point bluntly asking Kwak Tube whether he simply showed up to the shoot without a single thought in his head.

From Drama Heroine to Variety Star

The Jeju food trip also features moments of genuine warmth and camaraderie. When Jeon Hyun-moo takes the wheel for the scenic drive along the coast, Pyo expresses surprise that the host drives himself, prompting him to boast about once driving 900 kilometers from Spain to the south of France. The lighthearted banter reveals the easy rapport between the three personalities as they bond over spectacular ocean views and hearty Jeju dishes.

Pyo Ye-jin first gained widespread recognition through the Taxi Driver series, where her portrayal of a tech-savvy hacker won over audiences with a blend of intelligence and quiet intensity. Her appearance on Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3 reveals an entirely new dimension of her personality, one defined by razor-sharp wit, fearless honesty, and a natural gift for making people laugh. Viewers can catch the full episode on MBN and Channel S at 9:10 PM on March 6.
