Chef Jung was a guest on KBS CoolFM's 'Park Myung-soo's Radio Show' , which aired on the 21st.
On this episode, Chef Jung discussed the impact of his appearance on 'Culinary Class Wars', saying, "More people than I expected recognize me. Even though the Hongdae store attracts many foreign visitors, they know who I am." She particularly noted that many customers from Taiwan and Hong Kong recognize her.
"I've appeared on TV before, but the reaction has changed significantly since 'Culinary Class Wars'. It used to feel like people would just pass by, but now they ask to take pictures. It’s an honor, but it can be awkward."
Regarding restaurant sales, she added, "We didn't have reservations up to this point, but they've increased by about three times since 'Culinary Class Wars.' The number of customers has grown so much that I'm considering expanding and opening an additional store if I can just find the right staff."
Meanwhile, Chef Jung Ji-sun competed as a "white spoon chef" on the Netflix variety show 'Culinary Class Wars', where she ranked in the top eight.
