‘Baek Jong-won’s Les Miserables’ will premiere on ENA at 8:30 PM on Saturday, November 30th. ‘Baek Jong-won‘s Les Miserables’ is a growth entertainment show filled with epic and sincerity in which ‘20 challengers’ perform harsh Spartan missions to seize their first and last chance to turn their lives around.

(Japanese) Chef Kim Min-seong, (Meat) Chef David Lee, (Chinese) Chef Lim Tae-hoon, and (Western) Chef Yoon Nam-no will join as head chefs and, together with CEO Baek Jong-won, are expected to lead the life-reversal stories of the 20 challengers. The previously released first teaser attracted a lot of attention by revealing the passionate sincerity of CEO Baek Jong-won and the four head chefs toward ‘Baek Jong-won’s Les Miserables’ and the 20 challengers.

In the meantime, the second teaser for ‘Baek Jong-won‘s Les Miserables’ was released on November 7. The second teaser contains the earnest hearts of the 20 challengers who have experienced the bitterness of failure and fallen to the bottom, their desperate challenges, and the strong will of CEO Baek Jong-won and the four head chefs who give them extreme missions and try to pull them out of the world.

The video begins with the strong copy, ‘Les Miserables: Unfortunate People’, and continues with the challengers boarding a fishing boat beyond the crashing waves. These people surprise everyone by revealing shocking stories about themselves, such as “A person who has been to hell”, “Juvenile thief in Disposition No. 9”, “Even a delinquent came out of my father’s mouth”, and “Abandoned with bad words”. People are also curious about what kind of experience they will have in “Baek Jong-won‘s Les Miserables”.

From this point on, the Spartan-style missions that the 20 challengers face and the desperate struggles that unfold within them unfold at a fast pace, drawing attention. Amidst the expectations of the 20 challengers’ difficult journey, there are scenes of CEO Baek Jong-won getting fiery with the challengers and the four team of homeroom chefs who are sometimes cold-hearted and sometimes terrifyingly passionate. Above all, the challengers confess, “It was really hell”, “I‘d rather die here than here”, which increases the interest of potential viewers.

A 100-day business reality show where earnestness and sincerity meet, the video contains the passion of 20 challengers who want to break away from their unfortunate past and overcome the adversities and hardships that come at every moment to be reborn as businessmen. ‘Baek Jong-won’s Les Miserables’, which left such a dramatic and strong impression in a relatively short 90-second video, makes people curious and excited about how powerful the story and sincerity it will show in the main broadcast will be.

‘Baek Jong-won‘s Les Miserables’ will premiere on Saturday, November 30th at 8:30 PM as the follow-up to ‘My Child’s Private Life’, which is currently airing.
