TWICE's Momo got stumped on the September 14th MBC Chuseok special 'Idol Cooking King'.

Momo was one of 217 idol cook competitors on the show who were tasked with finishing an egg dish in 10 minutes. The TWICE member was challenged to make a "poached egg," but she expressed surprise after getting the mission.

The Japanese-born idol star said, "I don't know. I don't know what this means. I'm ruined. What's a 'poached egg,'" expressing confusion about the Korean word.

She wasn't the only idol star confused about the different egg dishes, however, so there's that! How do you think Momo did in the cooking competition?

so what exactly is this poached egg??

basically, you cook the egg by cracking a raw, room-temperature egg into a bowl, and then you put it into almost boiling water so that the white of the egg cooks, but the yolk doesn't

It's not a big surprise that something like this happened. Korean isn't Momo's native language and the word for "poached egg" is not an everyday term a foreigner would learn. Heck, I bet there are plenty of English speakers who don't know even know what a poached egg is, let alone how to prepare one. At least she can laugh about it.
