Local magazine Singles has released a visual pictorial of Ahn Sung-jae, who has been at the center of the topic with Netflix 'Black and White Cook'.

In the pictorial, Ahn Sung-jae created a sensual atmosphere by directing various styles.

The Black and White Chef is a Netflix original entertainment program that depicts a cooking battle between 20 famous chefs 'Baeksujeo' and Jaya's master 'Baeksujeo'Baeksujeo'80.

Within the first week of its release, "Black and White Cook" had been a huge hit, ranking No. 1 in the Netflix Global Top 10 non-English TV category.

As for the reason for his appearance, Ahn Sung-jae said, `I never thought that I should show anything entertainment and showy When I was discussing it with the production team at the beginning, I said there should be no exaggerated or written screenplay for fun" he told me.

Then "I'm a person who takes food very seriously, so I don't want chefs to be funny people. I hoped that the stubborn and persistent chefs would be reflected, and I hoped that a great program would be made that would help the restaurant industry as well." Thankfully, the production team fully understood and accepted my opinion," he said in appreciation.

I asked Ahn Sung-jae how he compared and judged Imokase's cooking and fine dining by what criteria. Ahn Sung-jae "I tried to judge the dish. If it is a white rice that I encounter on a daily basis, I judged it by incorporating my understanding as an expert into the public's standards. If we put out a dining concept dish, we saw what kind of technique was used as the standard of dining and how well the technique was implemented according to the intention, and evaluated how sophisticated the technique was."

It is also a broadcast that people and chefs around the world can watch, not only in Korea. I thought this program might show the level of dining in Korea. The only Michelin three-star restaurant chef in Korea should not be impressed by the chef's old and rugged techniques. So, I tried to be more strict when I put out a dining concept food or techniques," he said, expressing his philosophy on the criteria for screening.

He also shared his thoughts on the production of "Black and White Cook Season 2". Asked by a reporter if he was invited as a judge again in season 2, Ahn Sung-jae replied, "'Did you accept it?'"I'll think about it then." The timing is right and the conditions are right, so..." he added.

Asked if he would be willing to respond if he was invited as a contestant in another global cooking survival, he replied: "There's already been a lot."As I always say, when I appear on such a show, I'll see if my standards are met, and I'll have to see if the schedule is right or not because I focus on the life of a chef. If those standards and timing are right and there's anything I can contribute to, and if that's possible, then of course, "
