‘Dark Chef’ Kim Poong‘s Hong-eo Tangsu → J-Hope “3 Stars” (Cold Father)
On the 11th episode of JTBC‘s ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ (directed by Lee Chang-woo and Lee Rin-ha) that aired on the 2nd, a fermented skate cooking competition and a dessert competition were held using ingredients from BTS’s J-Hope‘s refrigerator. Kim Poong, who had been in a 5-game losing streak, finally won his first game by defeating Yoon Nam-no with ‘Fermented Skate Soup’. The viewership ratings for that day were 3.2% in the metropolitan area and 2.8% nationwide based on Nielsen Korea’s paid household standards.
Ahead of the competition, Kim So-hee, who captivated Europe with Korean food, appeared as a special chef following special MC Lee Eun-ji. ‘MasterChef Korea 2’ winner and extreme introvert Choi Kang-rok couldn‘t make eye contact with judge Kim So-hee and shyly hugged her, which made Kim So-hee laugh out loud.
In addition, BTS’s J-Hope, who is loved worldwide, and ‘Squid Game’ villain Heo Sung-tae appeared as guests and garnered attention. In particular, since J-Hope had expressed his admiration for Yoon Nam-no through SNS, but Yoon Nam-no had said that he didn‘t know J-Hope very well, the meeting between the two heightened the interest. When other chefs heard this news, Yoon Nam-no made everyone burst into laughter by begging, “Please help me just this once.”
On the other hand, we were able to catch a glimpse of J-Hope‘s human charm as well as his taste in food. In J-Hope’s refrigerator, where he loves Korean food the most, there were side dishes made by his mother, bags of sauces that came with delivery food, and chicken bones that he had saved to throw away but forgot about, adding to the intimacy.
The full-scale 15-minute cooking competition began with Yoon Nam-no‘s ‘Hong-eo Jap Saba Yong’ and Kim Poong’s ‘Hong-eo Tangsuyuk’. Yoon Nam-no charmed J-Hope once again by forcefully peeling off the tough skin of the Hong-eo wings. Kim Poong, who predicted a professional appearance for victory, showed a different atmosphere with high concentration, but he also showed sloppiness by leaving the fried dough next to the burner to lower the oil temperature.
J-Hope, who tasted Yoon Nam-no‘s dish of fried skate wings served with sabayon, exclaimed, “This is the best,” and Kim Poong’s dish of fried skate sashimi served with sweet and sour sauce and stir-fried kimchi said, “This is really delicious,” and said he wanted to take it to go, making people curious about what choice he would make. J-Hope raised Kim Poong‘s hand for the good combination of fried food and skate, and Kim Poong successfully broke his losing streak.
Kwon Sung-jun and Son Jong-won, who then competed in the dessert competition, exploded with adrenaline as they went head-to-head with tiramisu. Kwon Sung-jun, who sold about 3 million tiramisu at night, created a ‘Toramisu Cake’ with ricotta cheese made from milk, while Son Jong-won created a ‘Tiramisu Michelin’ with overwhelming visuals using balloons and J-Hope’s hair dryer.
More than anything, Son Jong-won captivated J-Hope‘s heart even before tasting the dessert with a sweet message and candles congratulating J-Hope, whose birthday was the next day based on the day of filming, and a dessert with a beautiful visual. J-Hope, who tasted Son Jong-won’s ‘Tiramisu Michelin’, praised it, saying, “It‘s 3 stars,” and also responded positively with a happy expression to Kwon Sung-jun’s ‘Toramisu Cake’. J-Hope, who was worried, chose Son Jong-won‘s dessert, which was touching in many ways, and Son Jong-won added one win.
In the 12th episode that will air on the 9th, Kim So-hee, Choi Hyun-seok, Sam Kim, and Choi Kang-rok will make a 15-minute dish for Heo Sung-tae, the owner of the refrigerator. JTBC’s ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ airs every Sunday at 9 p.m.
