Two TV personalities have slurped hot noodle bowls as they locked horns to become the “king of eating.”

Comedian Jung Jun-ha and former professional e-sport player Guillaume Patry, from Canada, raced to finish the black bean sauce noodles -- “jjajangmyeon” in Korean -- first in

JTBC talk show “Abnormal Summit” Monday.

The challenge began after Jung bragged he once ate a 2.5 kilogram dumpling in Japan in an hour.

“Fifty people have succeeded in the challenge in the past 16 years and I am the only Korean who has done that,” Jung said.

The program’s three MCs then proposed an impromptu jjajangmyeon race between the two stars.

Jung, 44, won, finishing the bowl in 50 seconds. The veteran comedian again confirmed his nickname, “king of eating.”
