The 10-day business war of ‘Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables’ begins.
On February 1 at 8:30 PM, the ENA entertainment program ‘Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables’ will kick off the official business mission. The challengers, who are gradually showing their changes and growth while learning how to become real businesspeople, will face an “unprecedented” and “extreme” powerful mission. With a series of unexpected situations and shocks, the challengers will be pushed to their limits, creating tension that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats on Saturday evenings.
On this day, the challengers will receive the ‘Business War 10 Days’ mission. This mission involves competing in teams for 10 days at the Andong International Mask Dance Festival, a festival with a 26-year tradition that is recognized as a representative festival of South Korea. Unlike previous competitions, this is a true business war where they must defeat numerous competitors, with no rest for 10 days.
Baek Jong-won stated, “There has never been a program like this in history,” adding, “It’s about actually running a business for ten days and observing it. I believe this mission is the most important one in ‘Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables’.” In fact, the Andong International Mask Dance Festival attracted a staggering 1.4 million visitors, and ‘Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables’ provided a total of 20 million won in support, with each team receiving 5 million won.
As the mission requires the challengers to handle everything from menu development, cooking, customer service, to sales, their nerves become increasingly frayed as the business continues. There are moments of conflict and sharp exchanges of opinions. Baek Jong-won and the four resident chefs (Kim Min-seong, David Lee, Lim Tae-hoon, Yoon Nam-no) cannot hide their anxiety while watching the tense situation unfold. Eventually, one challenger expresses their frustration, saying, “I’m annoyed,” as they are pushed to their limits.
Meanwhile, a super special guest will make a surprise appearance as a secret evaluation panel, providing an unexpectedly harsh assessment of the challengers' businesses. Who could the secret evaluation panel be? Will the extreme mission ‘Business War 10 Days’ conclude safely? Viewers are curious to see which team and challenger will stand out from the very first day. ‘Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables’ will air on February 1 at 8:30 PM.
