What happened with the kimbap booking?

Actors Cha Ye-ryun and Joo Sang-wook made more than 100 phone calls combined to reserve kimbap at a famous restaurant in Jeju. Each eventually secured 10 rolls, so the family ended up with 20 in total, according to Sports Chosun.

How did the calls go?

The lines were busy again and again. Cha Ye-ryun said she had once succeeded after 180 attempts before. This time Joo Sang-wook got through on his 42nd try, and the video showed a caption confirming it. Pickup was set for 5:30 p.m. the same day.

Why is this kimbap special to them?

Cha Ye-ryun said she first ate it while pregnant and finished both rolls while waiting at a traffic light. Her memory of the taste is the reason the family was so determined to get it.

Who are Cha Ye-ryun and Joo Sang-wook?

Cha Ye-ryun and Joo Sang-wook are South Korean actors and a married couple. The story was shared on Cha Ye-ryun's YouTube channel, where the family documents their trips.

For international fans

If you plan to visit Jeju, popular kimbap and black pork restaurants often require advance reservations or have long waits, so booking early is wise. The family's video is a useful look at local food spots, though exact opening hours and booking methods should be checked directly with each restaurant.
