In the 253rd episode of MBC variety show “Hangout With Yoo,” which aired on the 19th, the members were seen enjoying a health enhancement class with actor Kim Kwang-kyu.
As soon as Yoo Jae-suk saw Chef Park Eun-young, he greeted her warmly, saying, “Master, you have become a star,” and held out his hand for a handshake. Chef Park Eun-young said she had just returned from Hong Kong, where she made Dongpo Pork Dumplings, which had received high praise from Baek Jong-won on the “Black-and-White Chef” show. He revealed that he currently works under someone else in Hong Kong, making the audience laugh with his candid remarks.
Chef Park Eun-young jokingly mentioned her jealousy over the popularity of other chefs who run their own restaurants, saying, “It hurts so much.” She expressed that since she had only been in Hong Kong for three months, it would be difficult to change her plans immediately, stating, “If I had known it would go so well, I wouldn’t have gone to Hong Kong; it all happened suddenly.”
While the Dongpo pork dumplings were steaming, chef Park Eun-young decided to prepare a bowl of Yusanseul ramen. Yoo Jae-suk, as his apprentice, took charge of cooking the noodles. However, when chef Park Eun-young confessed that “my ideal type is Lee Yi-kyung,” the roles were suddenly reversed and Lee Yi-kyung became his assistant. He said that Lee Yi-kyung is funny and close to his ideal type, creating a warm atmosphere.
Yoo Jae-suk, visibly uncomfortable with the cozy atmosphere between the two, remarked, “Why are my master and my colleague acting this way?” Other members, including Haha, teased him, saying, “Uncle, go away. This is the funniest part.”
Shy of Chef Park’s confession, Lee Yi-kyung expressed his active interest by saying, “I should go to Hong Kong once.” As they showed off their cooking skills and engaged in private conversations, Yoo Jae-suk couldn’t suppress his jealousy and vented his frustration, but the other members didn’t pay attention.
When Lee Yi-kyung jokingly commented to chef Park Eun-young, “I think this might be the last time I can eat Yusanseul ramen,” Yoo Jae-suk grimaced and said, “That’s the thing which I like least.” He pointed out that he was the first to teach the Yusanseul ramen recipe and insisted on making it himself, but Lee Yi-kyung quickly refused, eliciting laughter.
