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.
Chef Choi Hyun-seok said "When I first received an offer to appear, of course, I thought he was a judge. He asked me to come out as a challenger, so I asked 'Why is he a challenger?' and producer Kim Hak-min said 'Chef, the Challenger is cooler' Then I asked them to pick someone who is really good at it and participated. For the first time in my cooking life, I was closed for 45 days and was studying, so I needed a new inspiration. In the middle, I contacted him again and said I wouldn't leave, but I left, but there are two categories of Quizin and Newness that lead the orthodoxy well, and he belongs to the extreme wave while pursuing novelty. Through this 'black and white cook', I was convinced that 'I'm on my way' It was a difficult time for the Korean restaurant industry, and it was good to bring attention back to cooking and create a good environment for chefs to cook."
"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.
