Actor Yoo Yeon-seok has opened a ramen restaurant on Jeju Island.

The pictures of his eatery were disclosed on TV personality Hong Seok-cheon's Instagram, Saturday.

“The eatery is so nice-looking and the dishes are mouth-watering,” Hong wrote. “The number of attractive places on Jeju has been gradually increasing.”

Yoo previously boasted his cooking skills on tvN's reality show “Coffee Friends.” He was a chef for the program, for which the cast ― Son Ho-jun, Choi Ji-woo and Yang Se-jong ― ran a cafe on a tangerine farm on Jeju Island. The program ended in March.

Yoo, whose real name is Ahn Yeon-seok, debuted as an actor in 2003 and rose to stardom after the success of the tvN drama “Reply 1994” in 2013.
