In ENA 'Jongwon Baek's Les Misérables', which aired on the 21st, F team challengers competed for the loser. They were on the verge of being eliminated at the bottom of the previous team mission, but they once again took on the challenge through the second opportunity prepared by Jongwon Baek.
The mission theme of the consolation match was 'Menu to Save Me'. Challengers prepared menus to save the store on the verge of closing and melted their own stories with cooking. Cho Do-yeon expressed her intention not to participate, but after Jongwon Baek's advice and persuasion, she decided to participate, and all the challengers were to carry out the mission together.
The homeroom chefs approached the challengers wholeheartedly. Chef Yoon Nam-no said "I was once abandonedHe encouraged 01 Sung Hyun-woo, and Chef Lim Tae-hoon emphasized to 03 Jeon Dong-jin through rigorous training that "a honest story is important." Chef Kim Min-sung gave encouragement until the end, worrying that 09 Oh Chang-seok would drink after being eliminated, and Chef David Lee reminded Cho Do-yeon of the importance of storytelling.
Team F challengers completed their dishes with their own narratives. 09 Oh Chang-seok introduced kimchi stew and egg rolls after research and effort despite hand tremors caused by alcoholism, and 03 Jeon Dong-jin completed fried rice with her mother's love. However, he wasted time in preparing the ingredients, causing anxiety. 01 Sung Hyun-woo cooked while recalling his childhood growing up in the facility, but he failed to maintain the temperature of the food and made a mistake, and 12 Cho Do-yeon was disappointed because she could not grasp the intention of the judges despite her excellent cooking skills.
The Jongwon Baek is "I'll look at the grit, not the taste of food."Emphasizing "What is important in running a store is the ability to read the customer's mind. Sticking to one's own thoughts does not lead to success, he advised.
In the end, 03 Jeon Dong-jin and 09 Oh Chang-seok survived and advanced to the next round. In particular, the jury was impressed by the change in 09 Oh Chang-seok. Chef Yoon Nam-no raised his thumb as soon as he made eye contact. It was so cool."
The Jongwon Baek states that "what is more important than technology is grit" and "people with grit often succeed." We need to elect those people."
At the end of the broadcast, 09 Oh Chang-seok delivered his future determination in front of his father, who he met for the first time in 10 years, with hot tears. Challengers' changes have shown how much 'second chance' and 'belief' can affect a person's life.
The authentic growth entertainment 'Jongwon Baek's Les Misérables' airs every Saturday at 8:30 p.m.
