- Mix with the left hand~ Mix with the right hand~ I have two bowls~.
It became really popular. - Slurping.
- It's beef.
- Let's go~.
Meat~ Let's go~.
-- Each section has different themes.
- It's amazing.
- It's a Chinese noodle dish match.
- It smells really good.
- We have 3 minutes left.
- I think he will win.
I eat both with both Hands~.
Who's the winner?
Please show us the result.
Lee Jae-hoon.
He defeated him with Mixed Noodles.
Then, the rest six-star chefs will have
a chance to take the lead next week.
In fact, we contacted Yong-man six months ago.
- Right.
- It's cold winter. - Right.
- We including the staff all had to visit the soccer field to meet him.
- It's my first time to go to a soccer field after retirement.
I did it to have him here.
- Just to have him here.
- He actually scored two goals there.
- You still remember it, right?
- He's still got it.
He also did a few assists.
I didn't know why he's so nice to me that day.
But he's there to invite me to this show.
- That's how we do.
- I was really impressed by
your warm comradeship.
But I don't see
a few of them here today.
- Time has passed.
Sorry for being too late.
- Actually, I know him very well
since we're in the same soccer club.
He's been playing as a forward since 2008.
But he hasn't scored a goal for the last 9 years. - Seriously?
- I've scored 10 goals for 9 years.
One goal per year.
On the day I score, I treat everyone to dinner and even nightclub.
- What are you talking about?
- Nightclub?
- Does it sound too old?
- Thank you anyway.
I'm so glad I'm finally here.
- Great.
In fact, he's enjoying his second prime.
He's been working very hard lately.
His enthusiasm is inspiring juniors. - Right.
- But there is no doubt that we helped him a lot.
He was left alone in the darkness,
but we helped him stand up in the light again.
- What a perfect choice of word.
- Isn't it true?
- You're right I was left alone.
Since I was lying on the couch for long hours so often,
it's sagging. - It's that serious, right?
- Right, I was going through such a hard time.
I wasn't used to doing variety shows before coming back.
- Right.
- So I was really surprised that there were so many cameras at first.
I couldn't even yawn freely because of those cameras.
They're trying to capture every moment.
But now I care about
the show Carefree Travelers the most.
MBC is like my parents' home, but
JTBC is more like the main family.
- Did you expose something about us?
- Exposure?
- Yes, something bad about me. - That's not true.
- But we heard you said something bad about us.
- I don't think it's exposure.
It's just a real story. It's not a bad one.
- You all want to hear it, right?
They don't seem excited.
Is it because they have their own restaurants?
- It's pretty much like a breakfast meeting.
- They're very successful in restaurant business.
- When we go to the airport...
Even though we're in the middle of shooting,
it's almost impossible to always stay happy, right?
But there is the one person who seems happy all the time.
- Who's that?
- That guy.
He's always wearing a big smile.
I can tell by looking at the back of his head.
- That's a real smile.
- He's really happy all the time.
He's like a child.
He's always waving
his passport
while smiling.
Also, he shows off weird dance moves.
He's so childish.
- Please help me out.
Please.
- They both are exposing everything.
- No more.
Up to here.
- I must say, they really like each other.
Don't worry. It's something nice and warm.
- Okay, great.
- They like each other so much that they resemble each other.
It's pretty much like self cloning.
They resemble each other more as they copy one another.
See.
Look at their hairstyles.
- They are very similar.
- He actually copied mine. - Right.
It's because Jung-hwan is good-looking.
Sung-joo was actually asking this question to him.
"Where did you get your hair done?"
And then he went to the same hair shop.
Look at their hairstyles. They look exactly the same.
- It's true.
- I didn't recognize that.
- It's because we have different faces.
- They copy each other like that.
- In fact, Yong-man has some knowledge of cooking. He got the Western
dish cooking license during the period of blank. - I had no idea.
- It's true. I have the license.
- Why did you get the license?
- I had a chance to
travel around Europe.
I found over 60% of their TV shows have to do with cooking.
- Right.
- They have a lot of cooking shows.
I thought that could be our future.
So I started learning cooking right away.
And I decided to obtain
the Western dish cooking license since it's the easiest.
I mean just the exams.
I passed the written exam on the first try and the skill exam at the second attempt.
After I got the license,
countless cooking shows including this one
began to appear as I expected.
But when I was about to jump in, the renaissance of cooking shows ended.
It's passed.
- This show is the last one left.
- I think this show will last forever.
Feel free to call me whenever one of you feels sick.
- I'm sure we can get the license easily
since he did it.
- Don't even think about that.
How about three hosts?
- Do you really know how to cook?
- My goodness.
- I cooked almost every day
when I was studying for the cooking license exams.
So I made a lot of dishes for my wife.
But she gradually began leaving me with more works to do.
One day, I realized I was frying tofu.
It's not even my job.
And things started to get worse.
Now we have this rule at home.
The one who wakes up and asks a question
about the breakfast menu first doesn't have to make breakfast that morning.
I started cooking very often because of the rule.
- We should really invite him as a special chef someday.
- Let me verify this first.
I heard some of you are not licensed.
- I don't have a cooking license.
- I don't have any.
- Me neither.
- Are you serious?
- Isn't it required?
- Seriously?
Do you not have any cooking license?
- Isn't it illegal to run a restaurant without it? What's going on?
- My goodness.
- Isn't it required to run a restaurant?
It's not?
- It's not necessary.
- All you have to do is to report it right.
- I don't have a license to cook Japanese dishes.
I only have Western and Korean ones.
- I can't believe this...
Are you serious?
It's really funny.
- My goodness.
- But he's running a Japanese restaurant.
- I can't believe this.
- The system is based on experience, not license.
- I just received a new report.
Although Sam doesn't have any cooking license,
he has Abacus Calculation II.
- He's good at figures.
Sam Kim.
- Sam Kim.
- He's good at figures.
Here is another new report.
Hyun-soo has a second-degree black belt in Taekwondo.
It's a certificate, right?
- No wonder he's a Korean cuisine chef.
It's part of our priceless cultural heritage.
- Look at his hair. He seems so traditional.
It feels like I'm in Cheonghak-dong Village.
- Here is another new report again.
Ho-young...
- Wait.
- Advertisement Painting II?
What's this?
- I have no idea.
- It's a license to paint signs.
- Signs?
Does it really exist?
- I learned it to make a living before I became a chef.
- We could see a lot of painted signs in front of theaters in old days.
Like posters.
- We can't see them any more.
- It must be quite helpful in decorating.
It's so hard to relate those two.
- Decoration...
- He's the first guest
who has a cooking license.
I'm sure it's going to be
really exciting and intense today.
Well, it's time to dig into his fridge.
Our staff visits guests' places in advance.
- Right, they do preliminary interviews.
- But we heard Yong-man did
such an excellent job giving explanations during his pre-interview.
So he's going to
give explanations today.
- This has never happened before.
- To be honest, we're not happy about this
since we can lose our position.
- Okay, I'm more than happy to do it.
Let me show you what I can do.
- Why are you wearing gloves?
- I have to. What are you talking about?
Let's go then.
- It's the first time ever.
- We have a lot of side dishes in the fridge.
- Oh, I see.
- It's pretty much like begging.
- We keep receiving them from different people.
- Okay.
- This is our fridge.
It's time to open the fridge.
- Let's do it.
It's Yong-man's fridge.
It's well organized.
- My wife likes to keep things clean and neat.
Let's see.
My wife and I drink wine together at home sometimes.
That's why we have different kinds of cheese and ham here.
- It's ham.
- We usually make important decisions
drinking a few glasses of wine.
- It seems you have a talk with your wife very often.
- Right.
- I can't believe you.
- Why not?
- Last time... - What are you talking about?
- There were me, Yong-man, and Hyeong-don.
First, I asked my wife to prepare
some delicious dish for me over the phone.
She said yes, and there was no problem.
Next, Hyeong-don called his wife
to ask her to prepare some delicious dish for him.
She said yes as well.
But then, Yong-man called his wife. I could hear everything.
"Could you make Kimchi Stew..." "I'm not at home."
And she hung up right away. But Yong-man sent this message to us later.
"It's best to eat Kimchi Stew with my manager~."
- It's so sad.
- I think he's not treated well at home.
- I'm sure they don't talk to each other at home often.
- That's why we need some wine.
It helps a lot.
- Right.
- Do we have to talk about my family each time I show one thing?
- I see he likes to drink wine.
Look at the second section.
- It's neat.
They are side dishes.
- It usually takes around 2 months to finish these.
- Are these from someone else?
- My wife goes to some cooking academy.
So the cooking teacher gives her lessons.
People usually make dishes at home after taking lessons, right? - Right.
- But she gave up, saying she can't surpass the teacher.
She's kept bringing the teacher's dishes home ever since.
- Are these from the cooking teacher then?
- One day, she woke up early
and started busily moving around.
So I thought she got up early
to make breakfast for me since I had a shooting early in the morning.
- Oh, I see.
- I was hoping she would take care of me.
But she's leaving all of a sudden.
So I asked her where she's going, but she said she's going to the cooking academy.
I said, "Why are you taking the course? For whom?"
"Where is my breakfast?"
- She's never tried making them at home, right?
- But she said, "Do you want to try our teacher's dishes?"
My goodness.
From the cooking teacher?
I think she specializes in Korean dishes.
Korean dishes.
- This one isn't from the teacher.
- Then who made it?
Is there someone else?
- Her friend from the cooking academy.
She's the top in the class.
The head of the class.
- Seasoned Eggplant.
- My wife receives dishes from her often.
- It looks delicious.
- No wonder the friend is the top of the class.
- It's really good, isn't it?
- It's a bit spicy.
You're saying your wife can't make dishes at this level, right?
- The texture is amazing, right?
- Why don't you answer my question?
- That's enough.
Actually, she made this one.
- Did you find one?
- It's steamed cabbage.
- She loves it.
- That's not a dish.
- Is it steamed cabbage?
- And this is the key.
It's her special soybean paste sauce.
- Soybean paste sauce.
- Wow.
- It's amazing.
She's really good at making this.
- Really?
Let me try some.
- You should eat it with the steamed cabbage.
- Oh, I see.
- Like this.
- There you go.
- How do you like it?
How do you like the taste?
- Is it good?
- Remember my wife made this.
- Okay then, it's really good.
- Isn't it too spicy?
- Just eat it.
Stop complaining.
Just swallow it no matter what.
- I think he enjoys eating spicy food.
Let's move on to the next section.
I see a lot of Western
ingredients here.
- It's basil in olive oil.
You can simply pour this when making pasta.
It's so simple.
- It's easy, right? - Right.
And I like to sprinkle
some pepper seeds at the end.
- Let's go on and take a look at the next section.
- Oh, I almost forgot to tell you this.
Kimchi is considered the most important food at home.
- Kimchi.
- It's the key principle at our home.
It's like the heart. It takes care of everything else.
So I would like to show you different kinds of kimchi.
My mother made this kimchi.
- His mother's kimchi.
It's homemade kimchi.
- It looks really delicious.
Cucumber Kimchi made by the head of the cooking class.
- It looks different.
- Did your mother make that?
- Watery Kimchi.
- Is it from your mother?
- No, it's from the head of the class.
- Oh, I see.
- I see many dishes made by her friend.
- We can't find his wife's kimchi.
Did your wife make that?
Wow, it's Leaf Mustard Kimchi.
Who made this kimchi?
- I think it's from the teacher.
- Again?
- There is no way my wife
can surpass my mother in this.
But she can make excellent dishes
with my mother's kimchi. - Oh, I see.
- Her Braised Kimchi is amazing.
Also, her Kimchi Pancake is the best.
And...
- The crisper drawer.
- I see different kinds of vegetables here. Shiitake mushroom...
- Napa cabbage and daikon.
- Zucchini.
- Wait.
It's asparagus, but...
I thought it's chopsticks.
- It's too thin.
- It looks like water parsley.
- It's the thinnest asparagus ever.
- Poor asparagus.
- He paid $2 for this.
- Did you just read the price sticker?
- He seems so thrifty.
Let's move on to the freezer.
The freezer.
Let me see that.
- We tried this for the first time in Quebec.
It's French cheese, isn't it?
- Swiss. - Swiss.
- Swiss cheese, right?
She won't let me eat it at home because of the strong smell.
- Oh, I see.
- It has such a strong smell.
- It seems you can't do anything she doesn't allow at home.
- I'm not in the position to try these things at home.
Okay.
- My goodness...
- Everyone, the cooking license holder
Yong-man is giving explanations.
- He's explaining very well.
- Let me show you this rice.
- Rice?
- It's called kamut. It's a kind of rice from Egypt.
- Rice from Egypt?
- Yes.
- It's wheat, not rice.
It's a kind of wheat from Egypt.
- Really? I thought it's rice.
- It's a kind of wheat.
- We all thought it's rice.
My wife told me it's rice.
- It's from Egypt.
- Is it healthy food?
- It has a lot of protein, so
it helps reduce fat.
- We usually mix it with plain rice at home.
- What's that?
- It's konjac.
Is this konjac?
- Who are you talking to?
- Excuse me. He's asking if it's konjac.
Is there someone inside?
- I can see how he acts at home.
"Is this konjac?"
Did your wife buy these for you?
She's so devoted.
- I can feel her warm heart...
- It's pork cutlet.
- I really love outer leaves of cabbage.
- Cabbage.
- It's cero.
- Cero.
- Can you grill fish at home?
- It's not allowed.
- She hates it.
- It's allowed only when guests are invited.
- There's no way she would like the smell of fish.
- She hates all the strong smells.
- He's such a good husband.
- My wife and I have completely different tastes.
I prefer seafood, but she likes meat.
- Oh, I see.
- She loves meat.
- There must be many things you can't enjoy at home because of her.
She hates shrimp.
So I haven't had shrimp and crab for such a long time.
I have to eat them outside.
- Wow, it's meat.
- That's right.
- I see a lot of meat here.
Ground pork and beef sirloin...
- Wow, it looks good.
- This cero is the only seafood here.
It's rice cake.
Rice Cake Yong-man~.
- Rice Cake Yong-man~.
- I think he really loves rice cake.
- We like to grill it on the stove in winter.
It's really good.
- It goes really well with bacon.
You should roll rice cake and cheese with bacon.
It goes perfectly well with beer.
The ingredients outside the fridge.
- Let's go and check out the ingredients outside the fridge.
- It's scorched rice. His favorite.
I love it.
- I see noodles here as well.
- Pasta.
- Rice noodles.
- Glass noodles.
I don't have much here, but
I really hope to see delicious dishes today.
- Thank you.
He really is an expert.
- Well, these are today's contestants.
The first seed is Kim Poong. He has 6 stars.
The second seed is Yoo Hyun-soo. He has six stars as well.
- He's in a good shape.
- The third seed is Jung Ho-young.
- He's been on fire lately.
- Right.
- The last seed is Oh Se-deuk.
The new groom.
Kim Poong, Jung Ho-young, and Oh Se-deuk.
Next, it's time to show his wish dishes.
The first one is "Kimchi Survival! Save To Win A Star."
- I have different kinds of kimchi at home, but
the variety of dishes made with kimchi is limited.
- You're right.
- We usually make pure Korean dishes with it.
I'm hoping to see some
fusion kimchi dishes today.
- He wants to experience new kimchi dishes.
The next one is "Western-style Rice Cake Dish That Can Surprise Yong-man."
- It looks very challenging.
- I really love rice cake.
Especially rice cake sticks.
I'm hoping to experience
new main dishes
made with rice cake sticks today.
The Western-style dish made with rice cake sticks...
- Western-style...
- Well, it's time to make a choice.
Se-deuk gets to choose first.
- I will go for the Western-style rice cake dish.
- He seems very confident as a French cuisine chef.
He chose the Western dish. - I'm really looking forward to it.
- There are many interesting Japanese dishes made with kimchi.
So I would like to choose the first one.
- Kimchi.
- It sounds really interesting.
- As you all know, rice cake has a lot to do with me.
- Right.
He won the first prize.
- Really?
- He won the first prize in the national rice cake contest.
- So I will go for the second one.
- But still, it's a Western dish battle.
Well then, Poong has to have a match with Ho-young today.
How do you feel?
- I'm going to show a new kind
of kimchi dish today.
- Then, it's Kim Poong versus Jung Ho-young.
Well, it's time to begin
the first cooking match.
"Kimchi Survival! Save To Win A Star."
It's Kim Poong versus Jung Ho-young.
Poong can take the lead if he wins today. - Right.
He will be the only 7-star chef if so. - Right.
It's a golden opportunity. - Why is he making a face?
Is he like that all the time?
- He must be in a bad mood
since he lost twice in a row.
- I have nothing to do with it. Why is he doing that in front of me?
I feel very unpleasant.
- Why are you so serious?
- I'm going to make something complicated, so I have to plan out well in my head.
- He's thinking about the recipe, right? - In his head.
But Ho-young won the last two matches. He currently has 5 stars.
I think he's enjoying his prime.
In both cooking and dancing.
- Does he dance?
- He shows amazing dance moves while introducing his dish.
It's his thing.
I think Poong's nervous because of the complex recipe, but
Ho-young is sweating thinking about the dance moves.
- I can see he's warming up.
- Ho-young, what are you going to make today?
- The title of my dish is You're My Kimchi Breaker~.
- He's really short.
- It's adorable.
- That looks really difficult.
- It's tougher than expected.
- He's not satisfied.
- So adorable.
- Kimchi Breaker?
- That's right.
It's because I'm known as the winning streak breaker here.
I'm going to wash aged kimchi first,
deep-fry cero and pork together,
and then mix them with sweet and sour sauce.
Next, I'm going to make a Chinese-style noodle dish
by stir-frying aged kimchi, pork belly, and glass noodles.
- Oh, I see.
- Everyone is making Chinese dishes these days.
- I'm a bit worried since it can have a bad smell.
I can't stand it.
Please make a note of it.
- The title of my dish is Big Mouth Sandwich.
- Big Mouth Sandwich.
- There are Tujia people in Zhangjiajie, China.
It's one of minority groups.
They have this traditional dish
made with scorched rice.
Interestingly, they eat scorched rice as we do.
It led to the first prize in the national contest of that year.
So my dish will be based on that idea.
Also, there are five members in Big Mouth.
I'm going to make 5 individual dishes that represent each member.
You can enjoy them together as one sandwich.
- Into one?
- Yes, but kimchi
is the key there.
The kimchi represents Kim Yong-man.
- He's good with words.
- It plays such an important role.
It won't taste good without it.
But kimchi makes a difference.
- I'm pressing the second button already.
It sounds really delicious.
- I'm going to use young radish kimchi. - Oh, I see.
- I won't be using any meat or seafood.
I'm very confident that
I can make a delicious dish without them.
- Well, it's time to begin their match.
Poong aims to make a comeback today.
But Ho-young is finding a way to
help Poong continue his losing streak.
It's Kim Poong versus Jung Ho-young.
Who's going to be the winner today? The kimchi dish match begins now.
They have 15 minutes.
- It's so intense.
It's so exciting as well.
- It's unpredictable.
I think it's going to be such a close match.
That's special soybean paste sauce.
- I can easily recognize them since they're from my fridge.
- Poong, what's that?
- It's outer leaves of cabbage.
- Cabbage.
- He said he really likes it. - I love it.
- I think it's a good idea to use that special soybean paste sauce.
- Could you wash this kimchi for me?
- That's cero.
He's cutting the cero.
- That's a precious one.
- Right, he can never grill it at home.
- That's right.
- Is that seaweed? - Yes.
- That's kimchi.
- Wow.
- He's placing pork belly as well.
- Look at that.
- Pork belly in seaweed...
- Like Three Delicacies.
It's very similar.
- He's right.
- It's really interesting.
- That's konjac.
- He's blanching it.
- This represents Park Soo-hong.
- Oh, I see.
What about the scorched rice?
- Ji Suk-jin.
- You can make it crispier that way.
- It looks really crispy.
- I tried that when I was on a diet.
It smells really bad if you don't boil it right.
- I hope he's handling it well
as she just pointed it out.
Olive oil and crushed garlic.
- He's stir-frying it.
You can get rid of the bad smell that way.
- Oh, I see.
- It's brilliant.
Is that oyster sauce?
- That can't go wrong.
- He's putting a lot of effort into it.
- He's deep-frying the cero.
- Deep-frying.
He's deep-frying the cero coated with flour.
- He's making the soup with dried bonito.
- No wonder he's a Japanese cuisine chef.
- He's deep-frying the tofu.
- Big Mouth Sandwich.
I don't understand why
he had to bring that up here. It's the show of another network.
- He's so hateful.
- I would've taken off a few points.
- Poong is in trouble. They became one.
- Really?
- Seriously?
- It seems he can't separate them.
- It doesn't look good.
- That represents Kim Soo-yong.
- He's screwed.
- Look at those dark bags.
- I'm about to stir-fry aged kimchi and pork belly.
- He's adding Chinese red bean curd and oyster sauce.
- Only 6 minutes left.
- We have only 6 minutes left.
- I think they should hurry today.
- Didn't he say that
he's going to make five dishes?
But one dish is missing.
- I think the last one won't be able to make it here.
- Right, I'm a bit worried.
He's cutting it into thin slices.
- That's alpine leek.
- Is he measuring with his hand?
You don't have much time. Only 4 minutes left.
- Less than 4 minutes left.
Kimchi Survival~.
Poong, did you just curse?
I think he screwed it up.
- I feel sorry for Soo-yong.
- Let's see.
I'll try this first.
- Do you think he will be able to share the lead today?
- It doesn't smell right.
- I really can't handle the bad smell of pork.
- He's in trouble.
You must get rid of it.
- He's using everything.
- My goodness.
- He just threw that crushed garlic into the pan.
- Is this it?
- I'm not sure how he's going to make a sandwich.
The stir-fried cabbage is ready.
- Time is running out.
- 1 minute and 10 seconds left.
The konjac is ready.
The last one.
10 seconds left.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
It's over.
Time is up.
Please don't forget to ring the bell.
Why did you let him finish first?
- Since it's a noodle dish...
It has to be served right away.
- He's very thoughtful.
Ho-young finished it first.
He doesn't look that happy.
- My friends call me a middle-school girl.
- A middle-school girl? Why?
- It's because I can't handle
the strong smell when eating food.
Let me try Stir-fried Glass Noodles first.
- He's tasting it first.
- It looks really good.
It smells very nice as well.
I should eat it with pork belly.
- Pork belly.
It seems a bit risky.
- I'll just go for it.
I hope he got rid of
the smell well.
Kimchi Breaker.
- Breaker.
- I hope it doesn't smell bad.
- I really hope it doesn't.
- He just put down the chopsticks.
- Let's find out.
- How do you like it?
- It has the bad smell.
- It's too bad.
- Is it because of the meat?
- Yes, the meat didn't seem fresh.
- It's because of the meat.
- My meat, right?
- I'm so embarrassed.
It's because of my ingredient.
- Why don't you try it again?
- Okay, without the meat this time.
- Just glass noodles.
- I can still smell it.
Sorry, I'm just being honest.
- I'm so curious about the roll's taste. - It looks really delicious.
- I see kimchi, cero, and meat here.
But since this has kimchi inside...
- He's tasting it.
- My goodness.
- Let's find out...
Does it have the bad smell?
- I hope the kimchi got rid of the smell.
- This doesn't have the smell.
Excellent.
It doesn't have that smell.
It's really good.
The cero is really tasty.
Wow, it's amazing.
It's perfect for me.
- He really is like a middle-school girl.
- It's really crunchy and savory.
It has some sweet taste as well.
Wow, it's really delicious.
You should've just made more rolls instead.
I'm sure I will crave this at night.
It perfectly suits my taste.
Thank you.
- Okay, great.
Let's move on to the sandwich.
- On the scorched rice, you should place...
- On the scorched rice?
- Cabbage...
- It's stir-fried, right?
- Konjac...
And kimchi.
- Oh, I see.
I love the crunchy texture.
It looks balanced.
- You should place the fried tofu at the end.
- It looks beautiful.
- Please enjoy it.
- Big Mouth Sandwich.
It's crumbling.
It doesn't seem easy.
I wonder what it tastes like.
- I bet it has different tastes.
- I think I should be wearing a bib.
- It looks so rough.
Why?
What's going on?
- Does it taste weird?
- It's very interesting.
It tastes really funny.
Let me try this again.
- It looks like some snack.
- It's well seasoned.
- Great.
- It's really good.
It tastes really good overall.
It feels like they're going separate ways.
So I have to mix them in my mouth.
But these are so stuffy and dry that
I have to melt them with saliva.
It's pretty much like Korean Mixed Rice.
It feels like some emergency food.
- My goodness. Emergency food.
- But I can't get enough of it.
- Really?
- It's such an interesting dish.
It's really hard to make a choice here.
I thought he would lose at first.
It didn't feel right.
But it makes me want to have more.
I can't stop thinking about it.
It tastes better as I eat more.
- Well, it's time for us to try them.
Let's have a taste of Ho-young's dish first.
Kimchi Breaker.
- I don't think it smells bad.
- I guess it's because it's too hot when I tried it.
- I don't think it's that bad.
- It's my opinion.
- I think the pork belly and cero go well together.
I also love the crunchy texture of kimchi.
I think it would've been still
good without the sauce.
I'm so impressed. It's really delicious.
- I think the three ingredients go perfectly well together.
It's so harmonious.
I really enjoyed it.
- Let's move on to Poong's dish. Big Mouth Sandwich.
- It sounds really funny.
- Big Mouth Sandwich.
- It's amazing.
- Should I just eat it with my hand?
- It feels weird at first.
- I think it can burn the roof of my mouth.
- I really love the tofu. - It's really good, isn't it?
- It feels like I'm eating the bottom part of Stone Pot Mixed Rice.
- I think it's excellent because of the scorched rice.
Interesting.
It thought the tofu would be just hard.
But it's so soft inside
and really crispy outside.
It's really good.
- I think we can eat much more if you find the better way to eat this.
- At a mouthful like this.
- It has different tastes, but
it has all the important points as a Korean dish.
I can feel both savory and fermented tastes here.
They really go well together.
- Well, it's time to make a choice.
- My goodness.
- It's so difficult to decide.
- It's a kimchi dish battle.
The first one is Ho-young's dish.
The second one is Poong's dish.
- I pressed it.
- He did.
- My goodness.
- "Kimchi Survival! Save To Win A Star."
Poong can take the lead if he wins.
Ho-young can share the lead if he wins.
Who's going to be the winner?
Let's check out the result.
Please show it on the screen.
Who's the winner?
Let's check out the result.

Poong won.
He won.
- Ho-young, I'm sorry.
- Kim Poong.
Poong takes the lead.
He seizes solo possession of the lead.
He defeated the winning streak breaker.
It's unbelievable.
- His dish makes me want to have it more.
The texture is really good, and
it's really enjoyable.
- I'm sure most regular viewers
will recognize this.
You all have seen these recipes on this show.
I learned how to deep-fry tofu
and scorched rice from Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
He taught me that it's possible to make plain scorched rice crispy by deep-frying.
And Mihal made that kimchi salad here last time.
- He applied all those dishes here.
- It's a good mix of those dishes.
Thank you all.
- It's brilliant.
- He's very smart. I'm so impressed.
- Excellent.
- He takes the lead again.
He did an excellent job.
Congratulations.

Yoo Hyun-soo and Oh Se-deuk.
He's having the first match as a married man.
How do you feel now?
Does it feel different?
- I feel a lot of pressure.
- Does your wife kiss and see you out at home?
- Yes, she does.
- Of course.
- I'm so jealous.
- Yong-man, what about you?
- I kissed the sleeping lady before leaving for work today.
She won't get up.
Like Sleeping Beauty.
The time will come.
- I'm sure the parents from both families will be watching this.
- I bet they call him Mr. Oh.
- It sounds really funny.
- Right, Maengu's friend. He has a huge mole on his face.
- Hyun-soo, why don't you just let the newlywed win today?
- He seems very happy, so I don't think
it's necessary to go easy on him.
- Okay.
As I mentioned earlier,
he won the first prize in the rice cake making contest.
He's like the god of rice cake.
He can beat anyone with rice cake.
- He's an expert in it.

and then create sour sauce
with different kinds of sauce here.

- Of course.
- What kind of meat are you going to use?
- It's pork.
- He just had a traumatic experience with the bad smell of pork.
- The bad smell.
- I'm so worried.
My goodness.
- You must get rid of the smell.
- The title of my dish is Rice Cake Lasagna.
- Rice Cake Lasagna.
Lasagna.
- Could you explain it?
- It's basically a lasagne dish.
I think it perfectly fits the theme.
Also, I found a lot of Western ingredients.
Although I'm a Korean cuisine chef,
I'll do my best to make an excellent dish with them today.
- Okay, great.
- I'm so excited.
- Well then, it's time to begin their match.
Hyun-soo is unstoppable.
He aims to impress Yong-man
with the best rice cake dish.
The new groom Se-deuk is determined to
win a victory today.
Who's going to be able to satisfy Yong-man's taste today?
The 15-minute cooking match begins now.
They have to make Western dishes with rice cake.
- What's that?
- What is he working on?
- He's burning the chopsticks.
- Interesting.
- I think he's giving off smoke.
- Smoke, right?
- Right.
- Is he doing it to get rid of the bad smell?
- It's pretty common to use chopsticks when smoking.
- It's eggplant.

The fire is blazing.

It's the homemade pork cutlet
made by my wife's cooking teacher.

- I've never thought of that.
- It's brilliant.
He's not deep-frying the pork cutlet.
- What kind of meat is that?
- It's pork.
- Pork.
- No need to worry.
The ground pork won't smell bad since it doesn't have much fat.
- Are you sure?
- He must get rid of the smell.
Here comes the rice cake.
- He's stir-frying it with butter.
- Are those chopsticks still burning?
- The pot is filled with smoke.

- He's placing a lot of things on the Napa cabbage.
Look at the meat.

He's now grinding the eggplant.

It smells really good.
- He's improved after the wedding.
It doesn't have any bad smell.
- He did an excellent job.

Guk-joo.

But the rice cake inside
feels so soft like cheese.
And it goes really well with cheese.
It's such an interesting dish.
- She expressed it very well.
- It's so soft inside.
- Guk-joo. Well said.
I ate three pieces.
Did you just scoop it?
It's scary.
- Actually, there is cheese inside.
I used plain cheese.
- My goodness.
I really don't want it to end like this.
- It's time to say goodbye.
She's eating it at once.
- I'm sure everyone will love this dish.
It's undeniably delicious.
It's so perfect.
He really knows how to use rice cake.
- The title should be changed to this.
Rice Cake & Roll.

ever on this dish.
- The best one?
- I think he's well married.

- I love the rice cake in the middle.
- I can't wait any longer.
- It's such a close match.
It's so close.
- For me, it's the best lasagna ever.
- When he's grinding rice and corn together,
I was really wondering how it would taste like.
I'm not sure why this is amazingly delicious.
But I think nothing should be left out there.
- Usually, I can't have lasagna much at one sitting.
But I think I can eat this a lot.
It's not too greasy.
I can't get enough of this.
I really enjoyed it.
- We sell lasagna at our restaurant.
I really think I should discuss with staff members tomorrow
and start adding rice cake in the lasagna.
- It's a good idea.
- He's so impressed that he's trying to steal it.
- It doesn't matter since Hyun-soo is a Korean cuisine chef.
He wants to use that idea first.
- It's his now.
- Okay, great.
It's time to make a choice.
It's such a tough choice.
- He really enjoyed both.

It was really chewy, and the texture
brought different tastes.

- It's because of Yong-man.
- Sorry.
He made a huge mistake.

Se-deuk defeated Hyun-soo today, so
Poong is now holding the lead alone.
Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- Oh Se-deuk.
- Well...
- Stop that.
- To be honest...
- Be quiet!
- After "Qualifications of Men"
- That's enough.
- He insists that all the cooking shows
have to be discontinued.
- It's not supposed to be too delicious.
They must have unique smells.
Please keep the original taste.
He's different.
- Don't ever get rid of the smell.
- It smells really bad.
