On the 14th at 6PM, ‘Eun-se‘s Gourmet Restaurant’ will be released through the YouTube channel ‘Supermarket’. The second guest will be ‘Chinese Food Queen’ Chef Ji-sun Jeong. Although the two have the commonality of being the same age, they have opposite personalities, so they have an awkward first meeting and present dishes they have prepared specially for each other.



Ji-sun Jeong, who has faced many difficulties on her way to success as a Chinese chef, said, “There was no information to learn in Korea. There were many barriers such as my origin and gender, so I went to study abroad in China. ”At that time, unlike Korea, in China, I was able to learn cooking in depth,“ she revealed, but she also shares a story about how difficult it was for her to not be able to find a job after studying abroad.

Ji-sun Jeong, who introduces her husband, who she runs a restaurant with, as ”I met him as a waiter and kitchen worker, and we were polar opposites, so we fought a lot. After work, we talked and had a drink, and that’s how we started dating,“ expressing her love for her favorite celebrity, K. Will, she shows an unexpectedly girlish side.



Chef Ji-sun Jeong also shares behind-the-scenes stories about the recently popular ‘Black and White Chef’, such as the chef who impressed her the most, the dish she wanted to eat, and the bath performance that became a hot topic, and she becomes much closer to Gi-eun Se. Unlike the awkward beginning, the two gradually start talking and become friends who sympathize with each other‘s stories.
