In the sixth episode of tvN 'Backpacker 2 (directed by Shin Chan-yang), which aired on the 30th, the stories of Jongwon Baek, Lee Soo-geun, Heo Kyung-hwan, Ahn Bo-hyun, and Ko Kyung-pyo, who provide the strongest health food for the members fighting the 1,000°C fire with 25kg of riot gear, were depicted, along with a dispatch notification that rang hundreds of times a day.
This day's business trip was the busiest fire station in Korea, with the number of dispatches nationwide. The client, the director of the fire department center, said "I would like to ask for 110 servings of health care for the crew members who sweat in 25kg of riot gear amid the heat wave." He also added that it would be nice if it was a healthy food that could be enjoyed even if it cooled down because there are many times when the meal time is not set due to the nature of the job.
However, the kitchen in the fire station was in such a poor environment that it made me sigh. The only thing in the narrow kitchen was an electric rice cooker on one countertop, and most of all, it was the fire pit that embarrassed the Jongwon Baek. The Jongwon Baek looked deeper after checking the diet of the firefighters amid poor fire pit and cooking utensils. It was a rather common diet for active firefighters. The nutritionist's story that the Jongwon Baek is fixed at 4,000 won per meal is "sorry yet touching." The meals are too poor for people with strong labor intensity like here to eat."
As such, Jongwon Baek seemed to be more concerned about choosing a menu than ever. After much consideration, there were a total of five menus selected, including perilla seed samgyetang, grilled eel, green onion kimchi, and Jongwon Baek's only healthy medicinal rice and dessert drink, which are delicious even when cold. The cooking began in earnest after adding a fire pit and cooking utensils by mobilizing 'Backpacka'.
Huh Kyung-hwan, a chicken expert who can't be left out when it comes to chicken, led the cooking of samgyetang after quickly trimming the chicken, and Jongwon Baek started cooking rice by dividing yakbap containing various ingredients such as dried figs and cranberries into two electric rice cookers. Using a rice cooker instead of a steamer to shorten the time for making medicinal rice. Go Kyung-pyo then completed the delicious green onion kimchi with Jongwon Baek, and Lee Soo-geun began grilling the eel that Heo Kyung-hwan had airlifted from Tongyeong.

After trial and error, the health food dish was successful. Jongwon Baek introduced Korea's only healthy medicinal rice with a total of 13 ingredients by mixing perfectly cooked medicinal rice with braised nuts. The fire department, which is the number one dispatch in the country, was packed with waiting lines even in the hallways on this day, and the tables were already full. The firefighters fully recharged their physical strength with a solid plate of health food, from perilla seed samgyetang to grilled eel and medicinal rice. In particular, he admires the taste of perilla seed samgyetang soup and shows the glare of truth. The two crew members who had been dispatched were also able to enjoy warm food with the careful preparation of the business trip cooking team.
On this day, 'Backpacker 2' captured the story of the crew running to the scene along with the sound of the dispatch bell ringing in real time, realizing the hard work of those who devoted themselves to the front line of safety. At the end of the broadcast, interviews of firefighters who risk their lives at every moment in a unique sense of mission were released, adding to the heavy lingering feeling and emotion.
Meanwhile, the broadcast recorded 4.6% (hereinafter referred to as Nielsen Korea) and up to 7.5% based on households in the metropolitan area.
