Junji Ito, the master of Japanese horror comics, highly praises Kian84's fried rice as "delicious."


A scene where Japanese manga artist Junji Ito tastes Kian84's fried rice was broadcast. On the 20th, MBC's "I Live Alone" aired a segment showing Junji Ito finishing the fried rice made by Kian84. Junji Ito mentioned that he had seen Kian84's comics but, not knowing Korean, he couldn't understand the story, though he liked the drawings. Kian84 said, "I'm embarrassed. My drawings are really bad," upon hearing that Junji Ito had seen his work. Junji Ito praised Kian84's drawings, saying, "They have a sense of realism. The drawings were delicious."

Kian84 took out a lunchbox he made for Junji Ito. Minho, who tasted Kian84's fried rice, looked worried. Junji Ito tasted the fried rice and said, "It's delicious," and Kangnam also mentioned that the taste was good. When Kian84 worried that the fried rice was cold, Junji Ito said, "It's okay even if it's cold," and finished the lunchbox.

The episode featured Kian84 meeting his idol, manga artist Junji Ito. With Kangnam's help, Kian84 said in Japanese, "I have been drawing comics in Korea for about 10 years," and added, "I nurtured my dreams by looking at your comics." Junji Ito said, "I also saw a video of your solo exhibition on YouTube," revealing that he knew Kian84. He added that he had seen Kian84's solo exhibition video on "I Live Alone." He complimented Kian84's work, saying, "It's cute. The illustrations," and mentioned he had read Kian84's comics. Kian84 felt shy and said, "I'm embarrassed."

Kian84 gifted Junji Ito a lunchbox of kimchi fried rice that he made himself. A video released before the broadcast showed Kian84 presenting the lunchbox to Junji Ito. Before meeting Junji Ito, Kian84 chose his signature dish, "kimchi fried rice," as the prepared menu. The lunchbox, reflecting Junji Ito's art style, caught attention. Kian84 showed nervousness, saying, "I was more worried than when giving a portrait." While taking out the lunchbox, Kian84 was flustered, saying, "I left my chopsticks behind," and Kangnam helped resolve the situation.

When Junji Ito opened Kian84's lunchbox, Minho expressed anxiety, saying, "No." However, Junji Ito was surprised by the visual of Kian84's lunchbox and, after tasting it, said with satisfaction, "It's delicious!" Kian84 felt relieved by Junji Ito's reaction and repeatedly asked, "Is it really delicious?"

Meanwhile, the broadcast also revealed actor Bae Nara enjoying camping. He attracted attention by maintaining his exercise routine even while camping. Bae Nara visited a seafood store looking for webfoot octopus but was disappointed to hear it had not arrived yet. Undeterred, he set out to find another harbor. Using a smartphone map, Bae Nara ran over a mountain in search of webfoot octopus. After completing a 2.4 km "webfoot octopus march," he arrived at the harbor, raising curiosity about whether he would find the webfoot octopus.

The meeting between Junji Ito and Kian84, brought closer by Kian84's "kimchi fried rice" lunchbox, can be seen on MBC's "I Live Alone," airing on the 20th at 11:10 PM.
