Chef Choi Hyun-seok's pictorial, who entered his second heyday by appearing on Netflix's popular entertainment show 「Black and White Cook」, has been released.

Chef Choi Hyun-seok showed off his charisma as much as a model in this pictorial, perfectly digesting a variety of concepts, from casual concepts that stand out as boyish to cozy mood to chic and classical mood.

In an interview that followed after the photoshoot, Choi Hyun-seok delivered his busy status. He "Thankfully, restaurant reservations are full every day. As I am busy, I am spending my time checking the quality of food more thoroughly and upgrading the menu little by little."

When I asked Choi Hyun-seok, who was hugely popular after appearing on Black and White Cook, if he realized it, he said, "Actually, I think my cooking life is in its heyday rather than the popularity of broadcasting. I've cooked a lot of unusual dishes and dishes like heretical ones that others don't do. That's why people used to like and dislike my cooking, but now I think it's getting universally good reviews. This year is the 30th year of cooking. I learned from my teacher for 10 years and cooked for 20 years, and I thought, 'Now you understand my cooking.' I feel like my cooking life is changing in a new direction. Isn't this the heyday?"

Choi Hyun-suk, who is already famous, was asked why he decided to appear on the show because the appearance of Black and White Cook could have done more harm than good.

He said "When I first came in, of course, I thought he was a judge. When I had a meeting, it was a challenger. I was really flustered. The producer persuaded 'Isn't the challenger cool?' 'I won't let you do it', He explained, "'I'll make it cool.'" So I trusted him and decided to appear."

The atmosphere of filming "Black and White Cook" was quite bleak. Choi said "It was a really tight competition program. Aren't the two judges, Jongwon Baek and Ahn Sung-jae, not those who change the direction of the screening or compromise due to the framework of broadcasting. In addition, all 100 people there were serious about cooking, so I was more serious and heavy-hearted. I think I was very nervous and I tried hard to stay focused."

When asked who he thought was really good at cooking, he replied, `There were a lot of chefs who were good at cooking, but he seemed like a great taco king.' Then "It's Edward Lee who looks cool to the eye. I think he's really cool. Later, we got closer because we are the same age, but we have a lot of sense of humor and are very serious about cooking. What an attractive and cool person he is."

He is appearing in Season 2 of "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" and filming "It's so much fun." The atmosphere on the set is so pleasant. I think it's a program that shows that the genre of cooking is very fun and fun"He expressed his affection for "cold you".

When asked if there was a guest you would like to appear on, "I hope actor Ma Dong-seok would come out. I've always been a fan, so I want to make you a delicious meal on the show," he said, expressing his love for the fans.

When I asked him, who is also famous for his youthful appearance, what is his secret to being young, "There's nothing I manage very well. I like watching animations, collecting robots, and living immaturely, I think that's the secret." He boasted his appearance while born.

Choi Hyun Suk's signature move is indispensable for "Salt Performance". When I asked how it came to be, "The kitchen space is repeated every day and it's not fun. Trying to find maximum fun in it. 'Salt Performance' is also a movement derived from that because I did martial arts in the past, and I incorporated it into the broadcast that I played with my juniors and had fun in the kitchen."

He also called his cooking a `impressive comedy movie.' Choi Hyun-suk explained, `I defined it as a touching comedy movie because I want to cook something that can be enjoyed comfortably and give me a happy moment.'
