Lee Jang Woo will travel around the world and spread the charm of Korean ‘home cooking’ that delivers comfort and affection to those who eat it, while also presenting a ‘foodie’ trip where he experiences the unique food culture of each country by exploring hidden local restaurants.GOT7’s BamBam, true to his ‘know-it-all’ personality, will be there to support Lee Jang Woo and will be taking on the role of interpreter in Thailand, the first country he will visit, as well as actively participating in local scouting and other all-out activities to create ‘unprecedented synergy.’

Regarding this, Lee Jang Woo said, “Since we are filming overseas under the name of ‘Home Cooking,’ I feel a sense of responsibility to convey Korean food culture and sentiment well,” revealing his more serious attitude than anyone else.He then joked, “I think I’ll gain weight because of the pressure,” causing laughter.BamBam, who finished his first filming in his hometown Thailand, said, “I feel so at ease,” and “It was even more meaningful to be able to introduce Korean home cooking in a place where both the language and culture are familiar.” He said that he took charge of everything from scouted local restaurants and hot spots to interpretation and local coordinator, and said, “I’m having more fun filming with Lee Jang Woo hyung since I’m working on a variety show again,” foreshadowing their trustworthy chemistry.Lee Jang Woo also said, “BamBam is Thai, but he acts like a Korean,” and praised him, saying, “He’s a really good friend, from his speech to his attitude to his manners.” BamBam responded, “Jang Woo hyung is really reliable and someone I can always rely on.Thanks to him, I was able to film comfortably.”

The chemistry between the two as cooking partners is also highly anticipated.Lee Jang-woo explained, “Thailand is a country that uses fish sauce in almost all of its dishes, so I thought Thai people would like it as well,” and “I prepared Korean food centered around fish sauce.” BamBam praised Lee Jang-woo, saying, “Lee Jang-woo’s cooking skills are a perfect 10,” and added, “I didn’t practice in particular, but I trusted my brother and my cooking sense,” raising expectations for their perfect chemistry.

He also emphasized his unique mindset as a ‘home cooking evangelist’.Lee Jang-woo said, “Korean home cooking is about ‘the heart’.The food culture itself, where you have to prepare side dishes, soup, rice, and a main dish, is impossible without a sincere desire to take care of someone” and showed his sincerity by saying, “After filming, I called my mother to thank her.” BamBam said, “Even when I’m abroad, the thing that always comes to mind is Korean breakfast” and “Je-yuk-bokkeum and doja-gukbap are my ‘soul food’.My foreign friends have never once disliked it” and expressed his affection for Korean food.

Lastly, the two agreed that they wanted to share the small emotions and laughter that come from home cooking through ‘Do You Know Home Cooking’.Lee Jang-woo said, “It will be fun to watch people make Korean home cooking with ingredients from that country,” and BamBam expressed his ambition, saying, “I want to let many people know about the warmth of Korean home cooking.”
