Producer Kim Hak-min revealed the reason for making food entertainment with Jongwon Baek.

The production presentation of Netflix's new original entertainment series 'Black and White Cooks: A War of Cooking Classes' was held at JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 11th. PD Kim Hak-min, PD Kim Eun-ji, Jongwon Baek, and judges Ahn Sung-jae attended the event.

Producer Kim Hak-min is asked why he chose the Jongwon Baek judge, but the question itself has a negative meaning, so we didn't choose Mr. Baek, but he chose us. 'Okay, let's do it together.'" The Jongwon Baek teacher is the same person as the beginning of this program. I don't think I could have even started this program itself without you. I thought Mr. Baek was the only one who could judge 100 people. Chef Ahn is like the end of us. The title of Michelin's three-star chef is the only one. There is no title more suitable for judges than this."



Black and white chefs' is an entertainment show about 100 chefs who compete fiercely against Korea's top star chefs'Black and White chefs' battle with each other.'Black and White chefs' began with the question of who would win if the owner of a local restaurant and Michelin star chefs' fought only with'taste'. In a world of taste without answers, 100 unknown and famous chefs will stage a brutal cooking battle with their class pride.

Black and White Cooks will be first released on Netflix on the 17th.
