Yeon Jung-hoon serves as CMB wine judge in Armenia

Actor Yeon Jung-hoon was invited as a judge for the international wine competition CMB, held in Yerevan, Armenia, according to the source.

A video titled 'First reveal of why Yeon Jung-hoon, who had only looked at Han Ga-in for 21 years, left home for 6 days' was released on 9 on Han Ga-in's YouTube channel, the source said. In the video, Yeon attended the event and spoke with sommelier Han Hee-soo.

Han said judging without food helped with the tasting process, saying, 'When you need to taste wine fully at 100%, judging without food keeps the palate clean.' Later, seated at the judging table, Yeon explained, 'We do not drink all the wine; we only taste it and spit it out.'

Yeon also said in English, 'I think Korean people generally like this kind of vanilla flavor,' according to the source. After the judging, he said, 'The wines that came to our table were really all similar. We tasted 41 in total, but there was nothing clearly like, wow, this is the best.'

The source also said Yeon studied in Los Angeles, LA, in the United States during middle and high school.
