A 'food' special will unfold on tvN's ‘Yoo Quiz on the Block’.
In the 286th episode of ‘Yoo Quiz on the Block’ (directed by Kwak Cheong-ah, written by Lee Eon-joo), which airs on the 26th, chef Park Jung-hyun and CEO Park Jung-eun, who run the hottest Korean restaurant in the heart of New York, will appear along with Nam Bora, the actress and icon of brides-to-be in May, and her family, as well as Chef Jeong Kwan, a philosopher who has researched and practiced temple food for 50 years.
Chef Park Jung-hyun and CEO Park Jung-eun, who operate the hottest Korean restaurant in the world’s top gourmet city, New York, will visit ‘Yoo Quiz’. As business partners and a married couple, they will share their story of choosing to go to New York with 5 million won and the journey of achieving their dreams step by step. Their success story of becoming a Michelin 2-star Korean restaurant in New York, which is fully booked within 30 minutes of reservations for a month, will provide deep inspiration, having gone through tough times where even buying a latte was a concern while climbing the stairs of an old 7-story building in New York. The restaurant's philosophy that “our food is a show,” along with the menu, chopsticks, and the secrets to their global success, as well as their thoughts on the future of Korean cuisine, can be found in the main broadcast.
Nam Bora, the eldest daughter of a family with 13 siblings, will appear with her family and showcase her wit. Nam Bora, who touched hearts 20 years ago by taking care of her younger siblings, has now grown up to become a bride-to-be in May and will share updates about her siblings. A surprising update about a younger sibling who has a connection with Yoo Jae-seok, along with a bombshell statement from a sibling saying, “I thought my sister would never get married,” is expected to bring laughter. Additionally, viewers will get to hear the full love story of her fiancé, who resembles 'Son Heung-min in 3 seconds'.
Moreover, interesting stories are expected, including an episode from Nam Bora's mother, who is called the living history of the college entrance exam, and a tale about how the youngest sibling runs to greet her barefoot when Nam Bora comes home. As the icon of eldest daughters, Nam Bora will share her story of supporting her younger siblings while pursuing her acting career, moving the audience. Her siblings refer to Nam Bora as their 'second parent' and will reveal heartfelt letters that turn the scene into a sea of tears. The warm family story of Nam Bora, who is becoming a bride in May, will be fully revealed in the main broadcast.
Viewers will also hear from Chef Jeong Kwan, a master of temple food. Jeong Kwan, who has never formally studied cooking, will share insights on the 'Chef's Table' and the journey of researching temple food for 50 years, along with the secrets of temple cuisine that captivates people worldwide. Chef Kang Min-goo, who leads a Michelin 3-star restaurant, introduces Jeong Kwan as a motherly figure and shares his story of visiting the monk every weekend, adding to the interest. The touching story of Jeong Kwan, who became a monk at the young age of 17, along with a tale involving his father and shiitake mushroom braised dish, will also leave a deep impression. The viewers will be captivated by the reactions of Yoo Jae-seok and Jo Se-ho, who are mesmerized by the taste of the temple food prepared with care by Jeong Kwan.
