Edward Lee‘s first domestic food reality show has been announced and is attracting attention.

‘Edward Lee’s Country Cook (directed by Kim Kwan-tae)’, which will be first aired on Friday, February 14th at 8:40 PM on tvN, is a program where Chef Edward Lee, along with his perfect partner and special guest daughter Aden, and his three reliable managers - Byun Yo-han, Ko Ah-sung, and Cynthia - travel around the country and present a variety of concepts using seasonal winter ingredients.

In particular, expectations are high as the production team specializing in food programs such as ‘MasterChef Korea’, ‘Korean Food Battle’, ‘Food Avengers’, and ‘Everybody‘s Kitchen’ has come together with Edward Lee, who has taken over the entire United States with his cooking. It will warmly and neatly capture everything from the journey to discover Korea’s winter ingredients to the unique dishes created by Edward Lee‘s fingertips and the stories that blossom within them.



In the meantime, the long-awaited first teaser video that has been released captures the attention of Edward Lee as he discovers his identity as Korean chef Lee Gyun while encountering Korean food and culture in various regions from Gangwon-do, Andong, and Yeosu, as well as the sensual beauty of the footage.

“I’m very excited to go to places and do things I don‘t know,” said Edward Lee, expressing his excitement and expressing his hopes of “finding new inspiration, new tastes, and new food.” He also said, “This is really my first time exploring the Korean countryside. He said, “It seems like it will be a new experience,” raising expectations for special memories he will make in Korea through “Edward Lee’s Country Cook.”

In addition, scenes of tasting various Korean dishes follow, stimulating curiosity about what food and ingredients will awaken Lee’s cells. Above all, attention is focused on whether Edward Lee, who will present a new world of flavors using Korea’s winter seasonal ingredients, will be able to receive “shoutouts” from Korean grandmothers in the countryside.

tvN’s “Edward Lee’s Country Cook,” which will present a table full of flavor, fun, and emotion, will air on Friday, February 14 at 8:40 p.m.
