‘Newly Released Convenience Store Restaurant’ Kim Jaejoong takes on cooking with his elderly father.

On the KBS 2TV ‘Newly Released Convenience Store Restaurant’ (hereafter referred to as ‘Convenience Store Restaurant’) that will air on the 15th, the daily life of Kim Jaejoong, who is a superstar on stage but the youngest of nine siblings full of cuteness at home, overflowing with family love, will be revealed. Kim Jaejoong is spending special time with his elderly father, cooking together in the kitchen. Kim Jaejoong‘s filial son side is expected to bring a warm smile to the living room on Friday evening.

In the VCR that will be released that day, Kim Jaejoong is talking to his mother and hears her complaints. She said that her mother had a hard time preparing meals because of her father’s eating habits of not eating much other than meat. After hearing his mother‘s story, Kim Jaejoong suggested that he would teach his father to cook meat dishes so that they could do it together. While curiosity grew as to whether his father, who had never cooked in his entire life, would accept, his father readily agreed and confessed his true feelings, saying, “Actually, while watching Jaejoong cook, I thought I should go to cooking school too,” surprising everyone. He said that he thought his son was cool watching him cook.



Kim Jaejoong stood in the kitchen next to his father, saying that he would teach his father an easy meat dish. His father, who had never cooked properly before, diligently followed along with what his son kindly taught him. Kim Jaejoong praised him nonstop, saying, “Dad, you’re really good!” Kim Jaejoong created a warm atmosphere by confessing, “It felt different cooking with my father.”

The menu that Kim Jaejoong specially chose for his father that day was LA galbijjim. Kim Jaejoong presented a simple yet delicious LA galbijjim recipe that even his father can make by himself. He also revealed a secret tip that takes care of tenderizing the meat and the flavor. Was the taste of the LA galbijjim that Kim Jaejoong’s father made with his son successful?

The special time between filial son Kim Jaejoong and his father, who everyone nodded in praise for, can be seen on KBS 2TV‘s ‘Newly Released Convenience Store Restaurant&, which airs on Friday, November 15th at 8:30 PM.
