Chef Choi Hyun-seok showcased his sharpened sense of entertainment.

Tonight (27th) at 9 PM, the refrigerator elevation project JTBC's 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator' (directed by Lee Chang-woo, Lee Rin-ha) will reveal a 15-minute cooking competition using ingredients from the refrigerator of Kim Nam-il, a key player in the 2002 World Cup.

In this episode, Australian chef Joseph, who received a Michelin 2-star this year, makes his first appearance, drawing attention.

Having lost to Yoon Nam-no in 'Black and White Chef', he candidly shares his stress, saying, "I see Yoon Nam-no everywhere, on TV, buses, and convenience stores, and it's given me trauma," which brings laughter. The focus is on the outcome of the revenge match requested by Joseph and the counter-challenge from Yoon Nam-no.

Next, 'Refrigerator Kid' Park Eun-young throws down the gauntlet to 'Refrigerator Veteran' Choi Hyun-seok. Having achieved a perfect record against the original chefs, she has emerged as the 'Original Chef Killer', making even the currently top-ranked Choi Hyun-seok nervous.

As the competition heats up, Park Eun-young constantly engages Choi Hyun-seok in conversation, even invading his cooking space, trying to throw him off his game. Taken aback by this unexpected strategy, Choi Hyun-seok laments, "The culinary world is rotten," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.

In the second match, Kim Poong and Fabri represent Korea and Italy respectively, reminiscent of the 2002 World Cup Round of 16. The two chefs engage in a heated battle of national anthems before the competition, while Kim Nam-il, who transforms into a judge, surprises everyone by pulling out a red card for one of the chefs. It raises curiosity about who the card is directed at and its true meaning.

The intense 15-minute cooking competition filled with unprecedented psychological warfare among the chefs can be seen in tonight's broadcast (27th).
