Jung Hae-in Tries to Make Viral “Dubai Chewy Cookies” for Go Youn-jung on Manitto Club

Jung Hae-in is set to show his sweetest transformation yet on MBC’s Manitto Club as he personally prepares a trending dessert for Go Youn-jung.

The upcoming episode, airing on March 1, follows the cast as they create handmade gifts for their secret manitto partners. Jung Hae-in chooses to make “Dujjonku,” short for Dubai chewy cookies, a dessert inspired by the globally viral Dubai chocolate phenomenon that has recently taken over Korean entertainment and social media.

Jung Hae-in takes on his first ever Dujjonku challenge

The actor handles the entire process himself, from making the chewy marshmallow base to preparing pistachio spread and assembling the final cookie. The physically demanding steps leave him sweating, and he jokes that this is the moment his forearm muscles are finally being used properly.

The effort is especially meaningful because the gift is for Go Youn-jung, who is well known among celebrities as a true Dujjonku fan. She once said that being able to buy the dessert without hesitation feels like a sign of success, raising expectations for her reaction to Jung Hae-in’s handmade version.

After previously winning her over with a customized snack bag, viewers are curious whether his second gift will once again match her taste.

Dex joins Jung Hae-in, creating a new variety show bromance

Former Manitto Club member Dex appears as a surprise helper for Jung Hae-in’s project. The two work together to complete the mission, adding a new layer of chemistry and humor to the episode. Dex had previously given advice to other cast members, and this time he returns as a reliable supporter.

Handmade gifts, undercover delivery and a hidden twist

The episode also shows Park Myung-soo making a handmade burger for Kim Do-hoon while refusing professional help and insisting on completing every step on his own. His secret strategy for delivering the gift is expected to become another key highlight.

In addition, the production team teases the arrival of a hidden manitto who will shake up the entire game and change the dynamics between the cast.

With Jung Hae-in’s sincere effort, Go Youn-jung’s highly anticipated reaction and the ongoing viral popularity of Dubai chocolate-inspired desserts, this broadcast is drawing strong viewer attention even before it airs.

The episode of Manitto Club will be broadcast on March 1 at 6:05 p.m. KST.
