DBSK’s Jae Joong, likes it hot!

jaejoong_20080110_popseoul.jpg

His food that is. As part of a recent episode of the hit SBS series, Anatomy Explorers, the Jae Joong sampled the world’s most spicy peppers with ease. The heartthrob thought that the Naga Jolokia pepper, with a Scoville rating of 1,041,365 would taste good in a dish and he found the Habanero, Scoville rating between 200,000 to 300,000, to have a fruity fragrance. Now we’re no Scoville experts, but that sounds pretty damn spicy! Perhaps this singer’s tongue is numb to taste.

In fact, Jae Joong indulges in spicy food on a regular basis. Fellow DBSK members complain that Jae Joong, who is the group’s best, and only cook, always prepares food to his taste and not theirs.

Interestingly enough the same peppers brought members of Super Junior to tears, when they sampled them earlier in the series.

    Omg haha. Joongie~ Gosh he’s awesome. Yea, that picture is a pretty bad one of him. I’ve definitely seen better. <3 But wow….jolokia pepper is absolutely not a match for him. Hehe poor Yesungie who kept trying to show off his cool-ness~ Boojae just beat him to the ground lol.

    Good luck to both Suju and DBSK. Especially DBSK for their new Japanese single ‘Purple Line’ <– uber sexy.

  6. 6 Reina January 11, 2008 at 2:19 pm

    i love the name of these so fuuny
    he likes hot stuff cause hes hot!!!

  7. 7 HappyKpopLover January 11, 2008 at 2:33 pm

    Jaejoong is the definition of hotness itself so i am not surprised that these peppers wouldn’t affect him at all.

  8. 8 Jackie January 11, 2008 at 2:39 pm

    haha Jaejoong is such a hottie himself he can’t be phased!!!
    he has said on many occasions that he prefers spicy food!! i was anxious to see if he could put his money where his mouth is… and looks like he can!

    I LOVE JAJOONG!!!

  9. 9 Jackie January 11, 2008 at 2:55 pm

    oh and BTW the according to wikipedia [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naga_Jolokia ] the naga jolokia pepper that he liked, is supposed to be the hottest chili on earth! O.O
    wow Jaejoong… you are really something else!! sometimes i wonder if he is human– he has more talent and beauty than any 1 person should be alloted… and now the hottest chili on earth sounds like a great ingredient to him. Either he is an android or he sold his soul to the devil LOL

  10. 10 koreanchocolate January 11, 2008 at 3:02 pm

    JAE YOU SPECIAL DORK xD ahha

  11. 11 Lana January 11, 2008 at 3:10 pm

    That’s a dude? Sorry, but he’s soooo….pretty. So soft and fem looking and gosh, soooo 80’s! That hair do, in particular was very popular back then. He’s tooo femmy! Not attractive at all.

    Can the 80’s please die in Korea? No? okay, but just so ya know, 80’s fashions are very outdated (I don’t care how many people are wearing that crap) and suck cow butt!

  12. 12 micah January 11, 2008 at 3:17 pm

    oh my gosh! i can’t wait for the next episode of EHB! by the way, the picture of jaejoong here isn’t very flattering.

  13. 13 calen January 11, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    Ahaha, watching the first episode where SuJu were all crying from the spiciness I kept thinking “gosh, I want to see Jaejoong try this~~” Yay :D
    Also makes me want to try these peppers… or maybe just the Habanero. The Scoville rating for the Jolokia is *scary*

  14. 14 Kd January 11, 2008 at 6:25 pm

  20. 20 Aya (Not logged in) January 11, 2008 at 9:42 pm

    Certain people are born with less sensitive taste buds and cant even taste anything unless its spicy. Its some scientific fact we Arizonans know because all we eat is spicy mexican foods.

  21. 21 Anderei January 11, 2008 at 10:04 pm

    He’s already hot,,,i mean VERY HOT!!

    The spiciest peppers are nothing compared to the heat that he exudes…^^

  22. 22 kagandahan January 11, 2008 at 10:06 pm

    hmmmm… all that hot stuff makes me think of HEMORRHOIDS… hehe

  23. 23 Seeny January 11, 2008 at 11:43 pm

    lol, like most people have said…

    It’s only fitting.

    ^^

  24. 24 nicole January 12, 2008 at 12:28 am

    shut up, he looks hot in that photo.

  25. 25 rocketfuel January 12, 2008 at 12:48 am

    the dude looks like Sephiroth or cloud from Final Fantasy. Actually, he just looks like an anime character.

  26. 26 Spamstereeno January 12, 2008 at 3:26 am

    awwww look at the little fag with his yellow teeth ^^

  27. 27 Kristen January 12, 2008 at 4:15 am

    Every time a DBSK guy is featured on here, the pictures are so unflattering lol. No offense! But it’s the truth. No one would be saying anything about Jaejoong being ugly if they saw a better picture. Seriously, he’s probably the prettiest guy alive.

  28. 28 Jane. January 12, 2008 at 6:35 am

    I’m in LOVEE with Anatomy Explorers..

  29. 29 Star January 12, 2008 at 7:32 am

    Aww..thats soo cute and funny!! Jaejoong only cooks with his taste and not the rest of DBSK..LOL I could picture them like..I GUESS WE HAVE TO EAT THIS OR ELSE WE’LL STARVE TO DEATH!!

  30. 30 chee January 12, 2008 at 9:43 am

    He has pretty eyes. =)

  31. 31 Shay~LaH January 12, 2008 at 11:04 am

    HaHa! I wonder if he can beat that one lady’s record and eat more than 60 Jolokia peppers in under 2min. He probably could but I’d like to see it.

  32. 32 ?? January 12, 2008 at 11:15 am

    aww i can totally see jaejoong cooking~ come cook for me!!

  33. 33 abc January 12, 2008 at 12:05 pm

    it’s explore of the human body. super junior’s current variety show

  34. 34 fuheneko January 12, 2008 at 12:20 pm

    So he was the one who said that in the preview of the next episode. o.o;; Wow. Now I can’t wait for the next episode.

  35. 35 koreanchocolate January 12, 2008 at 12:32 pm

    KRISTEN :
    lol, i agree ahaha, he is the prettiest human i ever seen! & tht picture is rather not flattering:/ (stll love you jae) buthis eyes isss ,<33 ahaha, its tomorrow cant wait! 8D

  36. 36 Lolly January 12, 2008 at 12:35 pm

    Um…stop overreacting people. He’s a human being. Stop treating this vain, meat-head celebrity as if he is God!!! He’s in a stupid pop tart boyband, and people like to believe they are gay. EATING A FREAKING PEPPER IS NOT A BIG DEAL??? DID YOU REALLY HAVE TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT???? YOU COULD HAVE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE SHOW AS A WHOLE.

  37. 37 Lolly January 12, 2008 at 12:36 pm

    IF HE IS THE PRETTIEST PERSON YOU HAVE EVER SEEN….YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE.

  38. 38 Jackie January 12, 2008 at 1:05 pm

    LOLLY You need some better glasses. You are lamooooo!

  39. 39 HL January 12, 2008 at 1:45 pm

    Lolly,

    People are fans of him, they like him. let it be. no need to be rude about it.

  40. 40 junsufan January 12, 2008 at 2:00 pm

    Lolly, u’re quite crazy. XD who’s the one overreacting?

  41. 41 char January 12, 2008 at 4:44 pm

    arrhh..jae look so skinny in da pic…!!@-@

  42. 42 koreanchocolate January 12, 2008 at 5:24 pm

    overreacting much xD
    i know you hate boybands and you think their stupid,
    no need to overact you know. tsk tsk

  43. 43 b0mii January 12, 2008 at 6:59 pm

    woah it`s out?! haha i remembered i just watch ep9 with subs just now ^_^;;

  44. 44 Kawaiicherry January 13, 2008 at 1:33 am

    Haha wow, that chili description sounds really spicy. Hm, i bet he drinks a lot of water too, cuz eating hot stuff all the time is bad for your throat.

    Jaejoong + hot pepper = <3

    lol

  45. 45 Kyung Min January 13, 2008 at 5:50 am

    I swear, he’s going to have stomach problems later on. Aigoo. -__-;;; Anyways, its good to see them on a Korean show. It’s been a while.

  46. 46 Cyan January 13, 2008 at 8:14 am

    Apparently Popseoul loves DBSK. If they’re weren’t pretty (along with other boybands), they would have been neglected by the public.

  47. 47 amay January 13, 2008 at 10:46 am

    im not into spicy or something but still whatever my jaejoong likes, i like it too! crazy me…lol

  48. 48 voiceofreason January 13, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    Actually, eating hot peppers is good for your stomach (i know, doesn’t make sense but is true). Oh and here’s an explanation for how he can eat it… the more you eat, you build up tolerance for the chemical (capsaicin) in peppers.

    and interestingly, this article explains a ‘high’ you get from it… and that it can become an addiction..
    (I learned something new – thanks Popseoul!)

    ” People that eat lots of spicy capsaicin-rich foods build up a tolerance to it. The incentive: Once a person has become somewhat desensitized to the extreme heat of the “hotter” Chiles, he or she can starts on a new culinary journey. Not being overpowered by the heat factor, the palate now has the ability to explore the many diverse flavors offered by the myriad of different Chiles that are currently available from around the world. Also for some Chile-Heads a good jolt of capsaicin excites the nervous system into producing endorphins, which promote a pleasant sense of well-being that can last several hours. The endorphin lift or “high”, makes spicy foods mildly addictive and for some, an obsession. “

  49. 49 Dovey January 13, 2008 at 3:51 pm

    Hahaahahaha, wow. I never knew he liked super spicy food. I, for one, can’t stand anything too spicy…feels like I have a cat’s tongue or something, LoL. And as for the others complaining about his cooking…they should learn how to cook themselves, so then there won’t be a need to complain.
