‘Middle-aged Dad, Kim Yong-gun and Kim Gu-ra transform into ‘Black and White Chef’ Ahn Sung-jae and Baek Jong-won.

Episode 31 of ‘Middle-aged Dad, Dad, ’, which airs on Channel A on the afternoon of the 5th, will reveal the second part of the scene where the ‘Flower Daddy Union’ Kim Yong-gun, Kim Gu-ra, Shin Sung-woo, Kim Won-joon, Shin Hyun-joon, Kim Beom-soo and their seven children throw a ‘Kimjang Feast’ at Shin Hyun-joon‘s house.

On this day, the family, who finished making kimchi under the direction of ‘Kimjang Master’ Shin Sung-woo, impromptu engage in a ‘Kimchi Competition’ at the suggestion of the youngest member Kim Won-joon, who says, “Let’s make our own kimchi with the remaining kimchi seasoning.” Immediately after, Kim Won-jun starts making ‘Bok-gyeong-chae kimchi’ that his mother often made for him when he was young, and the Kim Beom-soo-Shin Hyun-jun joint team sets out to make ‘Shine Muscat water kimchi’ with their children. Shin Sung-woo declares, “I‘m going to make Louis X-tong kimchi” and arouses curiosity by making ‘Unique luxury kimchi’ using beets and kohlrabi.



With the kimchi, which is the pride of the family, completed, Kim Gu-ra, who visited Shin Hyun-jun’s house after finishing his broadcast schedule, joins them, and the ‘Family Kimchi Taste Evaluation Contest’ quickly progresses. Judges Kim Yong-gun and Kim Gu-ra cover their eyes with handkerchiefs and engage in a ‘Black and White Chef’-style ‘Blind Test’. At this time, Kim Yong-geon, wearing a purple jacket reminiscent of Chef Ahn Sung-jae, gives a cool evaluation as soon as he tastes the kimchi, saying, “The taste is a bit lacking...” which makes our hearts shiver. Also, Kim Gu-ra, who has transformed into ‘Baek Jong-won’, adds to the thrill by offering sharp ‘salty critiques’ along with reactions like “Please give me one more”, “Is this kimchi?” after savoring each kimchi. Indeed, attention is focused on who will be the ‘final winner’ of the day based on the two people‘s cool-headed evaluations.

The flower daddies’ extraordinary ‘Kimchi Battle’, as well as the crisis that Shin Hyun-joon‘s family faces while going on their first commercial shoot, can be seen on Channel A’s ‘Middle-aged Dad is a Flower’ Episode 31, which airs on Channel A at 9:40 PM on Thursday, the 5th.
