In ENA 'Jongwon Baek Les Misérables', which aired on the 21st, the loser of the F team (01 Sung Hyun-woo - Child Abandoned by Parents, 03 Jeon Dong-jin - Gambling Addiction, 09 Oh Chang-seok - Alcoholism, 12 trillion Doyeon - Victim of Domestic Violence) who was on the verge of being eliminated at the bottom of the team mission was staged. It was a time to clearly show why Representative Jongwon Baek prepared an unplanned loser revival mission and what `second chance' means to challengers who have tasted life's failures.
After the end of the first team mission, Jongwon Baek convened four challengers from Team F who were eliminated and announced the mission to revive the loser. However, 12 Cho Do-yeon, who felt responsible for the bottom of the previous team mission, declared that she would not participate in the consolation match. In response, Jongwon Baek said, `We respect your decision. But life is not easy. It's hard. Business is harder. You can't live the world so emotionally. It doesn't even look great.' After that, the team members of Team F persuaded Group 12 Do-yeon, and in the end, all four F team challengers decided to participate in the consolation match.
The theme of the consolation match mission was 'Menu to Save Me'. Under the assumption that each of them runs a store on the verge of closing, they introduced a menu to save the store. Of course, as emphasized in the previous mission, storytelling was also an important evaluation criterion. Accordingly, the four challengers of the F team prepared for the mission by receiving 1:1 coaching with four homeroom chefs (Kim Min-sung in the Japanese restaurant, David Lee in the meat class, Lim Tae-hoon in the Chinese restaurant, and Yoon Nam-no in the Western restaurant).
The homeroom chefs faced the challengers wholeheartedly. Chef Yoon Nam-no said, "In the past, I was useless and abandoned`"I coached Sung Hyun-woo in detail so that he could burn up a little more passion. Chef Lim Tae-hoon presented Jeon Dong-jin with dishwashing hell and cutting hell. After harsh training, Chef Lim Tae-hoon brought up his childhood story and advised "If you put your honest heart in it without exaggeration, your own story will come out."
Chef Kim Min-sung picked out the 09 Oh Chang-seok. I was worried that I would drink again after I was eliminated. Chef Kim Min-sung encouraged and helped 09 Oh Chang-seok with all his heart, even though he was blunt. Chef David Lee reiterated to 12 Cho Doyeon about the storytelling he lacked in the previous mission. Thus, the four challenger of Team F tried their best in their own way and completed the menu to save me.

01 Sung Hyun-woo cooked with the heart of his mother, who took care of him with love when he was growing up in the facility. However, he made the mistake of not maintaining the temperature of the food and continuing to taste it with one spoon. Cho Do-yeon was good at cooking, but she repeated actions that did not fit the judges' intentions because she was strong in her argument. In order to be evaluated as warm food, the cooking was completed first, and the completion bell was hit the latest, and the storytelling of the food was also intended to take the form of answering the questions of the Jongwon Baek's representative rather than explaining itself.
The Jongwon Baek representative made it clear to Jo Do-yeon 12." I'm not going to evaluate the taste of the food. It is important for the store owner to quickly grasp the atmosphere that customers want. It's not so successful to look ahead with just my thoughts." In the end, 03 Jeon Dong-jin and 09 Oh Chang-seok survived, and 01 Sung Hyun-woo and 12 Cho Do-yeon were finally eliminated.
The five-member jury, who watched the F team's challengers' cooking process on this day, was greatly surprised by the challengers' changes. In particular, Chef Yoon Nam-no was touched by the change in 09 Oh Chang-seok. So I raised my thumb as soon as I made eye contact. It was so cool." The Jongwon Baek representative did not look at the technical aspects. What matters is grit. Such people are often successful. We think those people should be chosen."
At the end of the broadcast on this day, 09 Oh Chang-seok shed tears and made a firm commitment to go up in front of his father, who he had met for the first time in 10 years.
