JTBC‘s entertainment program ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ is heralding a dopamine-filled showdown between chefs.

‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ is a program where guests bring their refrigerators to the studio and famous chefs compete to make dishes using ingredients inside the refrigerator in 15 minutes. It is JTBC’s representative entertainment IP that first aired in November 2014 and has produced numerous cheftainers (chef + entertainers).

Amidst its 10th anniversary, teaser videos of Kim Poong and Choi Kang-rok have been released as the show returns with a new look.

In the Kim Poong teaser video, Choi Kang-rok appears shyly with his hands clasped together. Then, when you open the refrigerator door on one side of the house, the ‘dark chef’ Kim Poong appears as if he had been waiting, making you laugh.

Kim Poong, who has ‘darkened’, heightens the interest by roaring and striking all kinds of martial arts poses as if he is ready to attack at any moment. Kim Poong‘s confident voice, saying, “You little brats, I’ll accept your challenge anytime!”, makes you look forward to the tense taste competition between the original chefs and the challenger chefs that will unfold in ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’.


On the other hand, in the teaser video for Choi Kang-rok, Choi Kang-rok is found in the refrigerator. He became a topic of conversation for his sesame oil dishes and sayings on the Netflix entertainment show ‘Black and White Chef: Culinary Class Wars’, and the sound of ‘sesame oil’ that spreads out every time he opens the refrigerator door makes you burst into laughter. In addition, as he is an expert in stewed dishes, he introduces himself as “Hello, I am your friend Jo Rimping”, raising curiosity about the feast of stewed dishes that Choi Kang-rok will present in ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’.

In addition, ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ will change the chef composition for each episode, creating a variety of competition structures, adding to the fun. Also, who will be the guests who will taste the chefs‘ delicious and unique dishes as well as reveal their refrigerators?

‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ will make a comeback at 9 p.m. on December 15.
