The Return of ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ Choi Hyun-seok vs. Edward Lee Big Match... Unusual from the Start

‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ will present an unprecedented showdown between the original chef and the challenger chef.

The JTBC entertainment program ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ (directed by Lee Chang-woo and Lee Rin-ha), which will be aired for the first time on the 15th (Sunday) at 9 PM, is a program where famous chefs bring the guests‘ refrigerators to the studio and compete to make dishes using ingredients from 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).

The preview video for Episode 1 that was released this time features the first guests who are serious about parody, Young-tak and Calm Man. Young-tak in a wine-colored suit and a composed man in a black suit are reminiscent of the judges Ahn Sung-jae and Baek Jong-won from ‘Black and White Chef: Culinary Class Wars’, while Choi Hyun-seok adds to the fun by saying, “I don‘t think you’ll like my cooking”.

In a situation where the two guests are curious about the state of their refrigerators by using ingredients from their refrigerators, Young-tak‘s empty refrigerator leaves the viewers flustered. Edward Lee is surprised and says, “There’s nothing in it?”, signaling a fierce battle from the start.

The first battle of the returned ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ stimulates dopamine with a fierce battle between original chefs Lee Yeon-bok, Choi Hyun-seok, Kim Poong, and Jung Ho-young and challenger chefs Edward Lee, Choi Kang-rok, Lee Mi-young, and Park Eun-young. First, the ‘Battle of the Masters’ between Chinese cuisine expert Lee Yeon-bok and cafeteria expert Lee Mi-young creates tense tension. Attention is being paid to who will be the winner among the two masters who will use all their cooking skills.

In addition, the meeting of Choi Hyun-seok and Edward Lee, the match of the century that everyone has been waiting for, doubles the immersion. In addition, an unusual smoke rises from Choi Hyun-seok‘s pot while he is cooking, and people around him say, “It’s burnt,” foreshadowing an unpredictable match.

The refrigerator status-elevation project JTBC entertainment program ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ will first air at 9 p.m. on the 15th (Sunday).
