Producer Kim Hak-min commented on viewers' disappointment due to consecutive team matches.

The TOP8 press conference of Netflix's original entertainment series 'Black and White Cook: The War of the Cooking Classes' was held at Hotel Naru Seoul M Gallery in Mapo-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 7th. PD Kim Hak-min, PD Kim Eun-ji, and Choi Hyun-suk, Jang Ho-joon, Jung Ji-sun, Edward Lee, Triple Star, Cooking Dol-Ai, Imokase No. 1, and Naples Matpia attended the event.

There were also criticisms that individual capabilities could not be seen as they played team games in succession. Producer Kim Hak-min said, `Since it is the first survival to be held with 100 chefs, I tried to capture various aspects of competition in the planning stage. From our point of view, since it was pre-production, we made it every week and watched your reactions as we were nervous and curious about how the response would be. I am humbly listening to and listening to what kind of reaction came out to the mission released last week. I'm hearing that there are many voices who want a lot of individual exhibitions, but I think the end of the individual exhibition will be seen in the episode that will be released tomorrow. If you're looking forward to an individual game, please look forward to this week's episode."

"Black and White Cook" is an entertainment program about 100 chefs who compete fiercely with each other, challenging the best star chefs in Korea. The dramatic process of finding the best 'taste' of black and white chefs who are serious about cooking, the mission beyond imagination, unconventional rules, and the dramatic process of finding the best 'taste' is exploding viewers' dopamine.

According to the Netflix TOP 10 website on the 2nd, 'Black and White Chef', which will release the final episode on the 8th, recorded 4,900,000 viewers (viewing time divided by the total running time of the work). Since its release on September 17, it has been ranked No. 1 in Netflix's Global Top 10 TV (non-English) category for two consecutive weeks, including No. 1 in four countries: Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
