‘Thank Goodness I Got a Good Rest’ is heralding the first appearance of pufferfish sashimi.

Episode 32 of the MBC entertainment program ‘Thank Goodness I Got a Good Rest’ (directed by Kim Myung-jin, Shin Hyun-bin, Lee Jun-beom, Kim Ki-ho / written by Kwon Jeong-hee / hereinafter referred to as ‘Thank Goodness’), which will air on January 20th, will feature the second day of operation of a 0.5-star uninhabited island by 2024 Paris Olympics fencing gold medalist Oh Sang-wook, South Korea‘s star short-track speed skater Kwak Yoon-ki, and chefs Kim Dae-ho, Park Jun-hyung, and Jeong Ho-yeong. Joining them in the studio are ‘CEO Ahn Jung-hwan, as well as Boom, Choi Ye-na, and announcer Oh Seung-hoon.

Pufferfish have often been caught on 0.5-star uninhabited islands, but pufferfish are deadly poisonous, so only those with a license can prepare them, making them nothing more than a ‘pie in the sky’. But on this day, since Jeong Ho-yeong, who has a pufferfish chef’s license, is there, ‘Pokdahaeng’, he challenges himself to make pufferfish sashimi for the first time.



In fact, Jeong Ho-yeong is an expert who has obtained pufferfish-related licenses in two countries, Japan and Korea. Ahn Jung-hwan, who was watching this, is envious, saying, “I really like pufferfish sashimi... I like pufferfish the best.” As Jeong Ho-yeong begins to prepare the pufferfish in earnest, everyone‘s attention is focused on a sight they have never seen before in ‘Pokdahaeng’.

Jeong Ho-yeong removes the poisoned part of the pufferfish and washes the tools he used for this once again, making sure everything is safe. The workers gather around him and bombard him with questions at this rare sight they don’t usually see. In particular, Oh Sang-wook raises expectations by making everyone laugh with a curious question, “If I touch a puffer fish with a wounded hand, will I die?”

Meanwhile, MBC‘s ‘It’s a relief to get some rest’, which will show the first puffer fish sashimi on a 0.5-star uninhabited island, will air today (the 20th) at 9 p.m. on Monday.
