We Koreans are serious about both high quality meat and national pride! So it’s not surprising that they selected Nation’s beloved Seunggi~~!!!

The hanwoo industry dealt with setback a few years ago from related disease and the public relations disaster of former ambassador Lee Hyori becoming vegetarian. Talk about the timeliness… with Seunggi playing part-beast, part human Kangchi! Will he be eating hanwoo in the latter episodes~~~?!

The way hanwoo is farmed is kind of interesting…
