MBC entertainment show ‘Radio Star’ Chinese cuisine master Chef Yeo Kyung-rae will appear on ‘Black and White Chef: Culinary Class War’ (hereafter ‘Black and White Chef’) and tell the story that became a hot topic due to his quick elimination.

MBC ‘Radio Star’ (planned by Kang Young-sun/directed by Kim Myung-yeop and Hwang Yoon-sang), scheduled to air on the 18th, will feature a special episode of ‘Four Rich Guys’ starring Yeo Kyung-rae, Kim Hyung-mook, Jeong Seong-ho, and Lee Gun-joo.

Chef Yeo Kyung-rae is a Chinese cuisine master recognized not only in Korea but all over the world. He recently surprised everyone by appearing on ‘Black and White Chef’ as a guest rather than a judge. He was expected to do well in this program, which featured many famous chefs, but contrary to everyone‘s expectations, he was eliminated quickly.

When this fact was mentioned, he smiled and said, “I haven’t watched the show yet,” but when someone said, “It‘s a total rip-off, so why don’t you just watch the first episode?”, he reportedly laughed heartily. In particular, he raised curiosity by revealing the uproar in Taiwan and the Chinese-speaking world rather than himself upon his elimination.

Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, who is already a master of Chinese cuisine, revealed his witty side by saying that the reason he appears on entertainment programs including this one is “because it feels like a dunk.”

On the other hand, Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, as expected of a master of Chinese cuisine, said that only half of the rumors about red carpets being laid out everywhere you go in China are true, and pointed to Chef Choi Hyun-seok as the reason for the exaggeration, causing laughter.

Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, who has been praised as a “master” for protecting the Chinese cuisine industry for decades, is expected to attract attention with his humble yet proud appearance. He said that the reason he has been recognized as a master overseas is because of his cooking skills, career, and his experience as a judge in cooking competitions related to Chinese cuisine. Along with this, he is raising expectations by saying that he will bring a medal, which is the ‘Essence of Preciousness’, awarded by the World Federation of Chinese Restaurant Industry, and tell various episodes.

Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, who is firmly protecting the Chinese food industry with humility and pride, will be able to see his witty remarks and his experience appearing on ‘Black and White Chef’ on ‘Radio Star’, which will be broadcast at 10:30 PM on Wednesday the 18th.
