Chef Yoon Nam-no said "My mother was diagnosed with cancer. When the cold noodle restaurant closes, it becomes difficult to make ends meet.That's when I got a survival instinct. I thought I could do it, and if I did this, I thought I wouldn't starve my house. It didn't work out in the end. He had never responded to a customer, and he doubted what he would cook. So it was closed in the end."

Chef Yoon Nam-no said, `Sister, I don't think you're an elementary school graduate, so I'd rather go to a cooking high school. My brother gave me a lot of support. My brother also paid off his family's debts. My brother lived with 160,000 won, but he didn't show any difference to me. He said he has steadily learned cooking and worked since then, building his career.
