Kim Nam-il pulls out a red card during a cooking competition.

On the refrigerator promotion project JTBC ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ (directed by Lee Chang-woo and Lee Rin-ha)airing at 9 PM today(the 27th), a 15-minute cooking competition using ingredients from the refrigerator of Kim Nam-il, a star player of the 2002 World Cup, will be revealed.

On this day’s broadcast, Australian chef Joseph, who received two Michelin stars this year, will make his first appearance and become a hot topic.Having lost to Yoon Nam-no on ‘Black and White Chef’, he honestly confesses his stress, saying, “I saw Yoon Nam-no everywhere TV, on buses, and in convenience stores, so I got traumatized,” and makes everyone laugh.Accordingly, attention is focused on the outcome of Joseph’s request for a rematch and Yoon Nam-no’s revenge match.

Next, ‘Cold Father Kid’ Park Eun-young challenges ‘Cold Father King’ Choi Hyun-seok.Having emerged as the ‘Original Chef Killer’ by winning all of the previous matches against the original chefs, she makes even Choi Hyun-seok, who is maintaining the sole first place, nervous.As the full-scale match begins, Park Eun-young talks to Choi Hyun-seok whenever she has a chance, and even invades the cooking area to constantly shake things up.Choi Hyun-seok, who is flustered by the unexpected strategy, laments, “The cooking world is rotten and corrupt,” and the scene erupts in laughter.

The second match brings to mind the 2002 World Cup Round of 16, with Kim Poong and Fabri representing Korea and Italy, respectively.The two chefs engaged in a heated argument before the match, singing their respective national cheering songs, and Kim Nam-il, who made a surprise appearance as a referee, grabs everyone’s attention by handing out a red card to one of the chefs.It makes us even more curious to know who this card was aimed at and what its true meaning is.

The fierce 15-minute cooking competition between chefs, which will feature an unprecedented war of nerves, will be aired tonight(the 27th)at 9 PM on JTBC ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’.
