(The CEN News / Reporter Yang Hyung-ju) JTBC's 'Can't Do It Alone' wraps up its mukbang tour in Choo Sung-hoon's native Osaka.

The March 17 episode of JTBC's variety series 'Can't Do It Alone' sends hosts Jun Hyun-moo, Choo Sung-hoon, Lee Soo-ji and Lee Se-hee to Osaka for the finale.

On the episode, Choo takes the lead, personally guiding the group to his favorite local spots across the city. Watching how he knows even the back alleys, Jun Hyun-moo quips, \"If I'm with him, we won't end up at the wrong places,\" a clear vote of confidence.

The quartet visits an 81-year-old institution in Dotonbori. Lee Soo-ji, who had missed it before because of long lines, lights up at finally getting a chance. But moments after Choo sits down, he does something unexpected that leaves the crew momentarily stunned and raises questions.

Choo also shares anecdotes about his regular haunts. When Jun Hyun-moo tries to name a curry shop, Choo cuts him off with, \"No, don't do that,\" then jokingly asks, \"Why are we even broadcasting this?\" prompting laughter from the group.

The episode balances food-focused fun with candid conversation. Choo opens up about the discrimination he experienced growing up as a Zainichi Korean — ethnic Koreans living in Japan — revealing emotions he's long kept private.

The Osaka installment, blending laughs with poignant moments, airs on JTBC at 8:50 p.m. on the 17th.
