- The guys you want to date.
Jung Yong-hwa and Roy Kim!
They bring the feeling of spring.
Any gesture to win the heart of fans?
Like that.
- Are you asking for a cigarette?
- I do this when drinking water.
- That's amazing.
- I like original American-style pizza.
- Is it even possible to make it in 15 minutes?
- Wow, he's using a torch.
- It smells good already.
- It looks delicious.
- That's it.
- There you go.
- Wow.
- It's really delicious.
- Who's going to be the four-star chef?
Who's the winner?
4 wins.
Kim Poong.
- Wow.
- He is the first to get the fourth star this season.
It's unbelievable.
- I heard Roy and Sung-joo must have a strong tie to each other.
- Right, we met many times.
- Sung-joo was the host of the talent show.
- Right.
- Also, he was the host of
King of Mask Singer.
I took the first place on both shows.
So he's my lucky charm.
- I guess he's doing well on every show you host.
- Right.
He wins on every show I host.
Didn't you say that you're going to donate all the prize money?
- Yes.
Well.
I didn't expect I would win at all.
I really didn't.
I made that promise without hesitation.
So the moment I won, the money wasn't mine.
- Right.
In earnest... - I had to keep my promise.
- I think he easily decided
on impulse.
- Did you keep the promise?
- Yes, I donated more than that.
- Oh, I see.
- I heard you got so upset that you flew to the US right away.
- I had to go back not to be expelled from school.
- Very nice.
- You did a good thing.
- Roy is known to be from a rich family.
You're also well-known as a perfect guy.
I met his father when doing the talent show.
He's the president of a rice wine company.
- Right.
- It's true, isn't it?
- He's no longer in the position.
Did he resign?
Yes, he did.
- Then, I should stop eating that rice wine.
- Why?
- I've been drinking that rice wine because
I like his song Spring Spring Spring.
- But he's still associated with the company, so don't change your mind.
- We have a lot of information about him here.
- Really?
- Were you in a band in middle school?
- Yes.
- Did you join the band to pick up girls?
That's what it says.
- That's a relief. I expected something bigger.
Vocals get this feeling.
- Pride?
- It feels like I get more attention.
I used to enjoy that feeling back then
in middle school.
- So it's not because you liked singing, right?
Of course, I liked singing as well.
- I'm sure he started to like it after joining the band.
- Right.
- I also joined a band in high school.
- I knew it.
- They didn't let me sing because I wasn't a senior.
So I got out right away.
I was a sophomore back then.
They told me to wait two years to sing.
- Those things happen in soccer teams, right?
- Right.
They were not good, but
they were in the starting line-up all the time.
- I remember he said this last time.
We all remember Hwang Sun-Hong from 2002 FIFA World Cup, right?
- Of course.
- Jung-hwan complained that he's in the starting line-up
just because he's older. Jung-hwan kept saying that behind his back.
- How could you?
- Did I?
- I remember you did.
- It was the right decision.
- Really?
- Sun-Hong was injured in his head.
I felt sad, but honestly I liked the situation
since I could play.
- He was bleeding. But you enjoyed it, right?
- More blood would've been better.
It's because he could be back in the starting line-up.
- I guess he wanted the chance so bad.
- It's a natural thing.
- I guess Yong-hwa was in a similar situation.
Jong-hyun was on King of Mask Singer, right?
- Yes, he was.
I didn't know he could sing that well.
Doesn't he complain that you sing most parts
in the middle and get more attention?
- But he has his own parts as well.
I support him when he's singing.
- I'm sure Jong-hyun has a lot of complaints.
- Of course.
- I'm sure Jong-hyun's waiting
for him to bleed in his throat
so that he can sing in the center.
They have a lot of songs
that melt the heart of ladies.
Let's hear them singing songs
that capture the heart of women
right away here.
Wow.
In fact.
Many ladies get excited in spring.
- It's a spring breeze.
- They must be very excited.
It's the right time to sing some romantic songs.
- The songs that are like the scent of flowers.
- Let me drink some water first.
- He's drinking water.
He's drinking it.
Like that.
He showed off his jaw line.
- I get it now.
It looks very natural.
- But you can just drink water here
since there are a lot of cameras.
- Wow.
Right, there are different camera angles.
- It doesn't really matter.
I can face anywhere.
- Right, he's good.
- But he has to turn a little bit on stage.
- It's Love Light. Let's go.
- (Singing) You my darling, You are more beautiful than the stars in the night sky.
(Singing) You are my love light that twinkles deep inside my heart.
(Singing) I love you Darling, Please always shine by my side.
(Singing) You are beautiful no matter how many times I look at you.
- It's hard to sing in the morning.
- He did a big favor.
It's 9:00 in the morning.
- It's amazing.
- I feel sorry since it's too early.
Then, how about we hear Roy signing Spring Spring Spring as well?
- Okay.
- Sam is recording it.
- It gives the feeling of spring.
It says you two have no girlfriend.
- In public.
- What about in private?
- I really don't have a girlfriend.
- Are you sure?
It looks like Roy
mentioned a lot of ideal women.
He really did.
Shin Min-a, Lim Soo-Jung, Go Joon-hee, Miranda Kerr, and Jessica Alba.
How come you have so many
ideal types?
- I think he just chooses anyone that comes to his mind.
- Right, I just say the name of any beautiful celebrity
I see on TV that day.
- So it's not serious, right?
- It's nothing serious.
Sometimes, I meet them by chance.
It happens sometimes.
But it gets really awkward.
- You feel guilty somehow, right?
- Yes, I feel guilty somehow.
They give you this look, right?
- Right.
- Exactly.
- I guess he didn't know that would happen.
- They try to act very cautiously
since they know it.
- Right.
- They don't want his fantasy
to be ruined.
- Right.
- So I've been trying not to answer those questions.
- Then, tell us your ideal woman here one last time.
The recent one.
Just tell us.
Who's your ideal woman?
One last time.
There won't be any misunderstanding.
- Who do you think is pretty?
- Just tell us.
Who do you think is pretty these days?
- Kim Tae-ri.
- I think she's very beautiful.
- Okay, I see.
Have you met her before?
- No, I haven't.
But, I hope it won't happen
since I mentioned her already.
- Right.
- She would be very careful.
- "Roy is nothing".
"He likes me".
- What is he doing?
- There's no way she would do that.
- It looks very cheap.
- "Roy is nothing".
- That could happen.
- Right.
It's time to dig into Roy's fridge.
It's the fridge you use in Korea, right?
Then, it's your mother's fridge, right?
- Right.
I don't really buy any groceries to be put in the fridge.
- When did you come back from the US?
- I've been temporarily absent from school. I got here last December.
- What was your family's reaction when you said
you're going to be on this show?
- The fridge is my mother's space.
- Right.
- She must be very nervous.
I'm sure she stayed up cleaning it up for at least three days.
- Right.
It's because she has to show her fridge, right?
- She told me not to say this, but I guess
there are some new things inside.
- But it's normally full of various ingredients, right?
- Yes, there are a lot.
- I expect it's going to be amazing.
His mother stayed up cleaning up this fridge for three days.
Let's find out what's inside.
We are opening this.
Let's take a look.
Let's open his fridge.
- Wow!
- Let's open it.
Roy's mother is amazing!
It's unbelievable.
- I can tell she put a lot of effort into this.
- She did an excellent job. It's very clean.
- It's normally full of ingredients like that.
- So just cleaning?
- Yes, she just cleaned it. - Look how these are organized.
- It's too clean to be touched. So let's use some stick.
- The first section.
These must be for his throat.
Lemon ginger tea and jujube ginger tea.
These are all good for health.
- My fans sent me those.
- They did.
- How nice of them.
I see Dutch coffee and green plum concentrate here.
These are olive, caper, and whipping cream.
It's going to take hours to just show them.
Let's just skim through it.
The second section.
His mother must be really meticulous.
It's filled with cheese.
It's tidy.
It's all cheese.
- I love every kind of cheese.
- I love it too.
- Why don't you two do a pizza commercial together?
- Sounds great!
- That would be nice.
- It's welcome anytime.
- Okay, then give me some fees.
I can't do any pizza commercial.
Just think of me as an agency.
Okay.
- I should get some fees.
- Don't do any pizza commercial without telling us.
- Otherwise, I will sue you two.
- Let's see here.
- It's a lot.
- Let me see.
- It must be salted pollack roe.
I have to eat it at every meal.
- I do that too.
- Rice has to come with salted pollack roe.
I finish that amount at every meal.
- This much?
- This side dish just caught my eyes.
- What is it?
- Wow, it looks great.
- Isn't this fermented fish?
Fermented fish.
- It's fermented flatfish.
- Isn't this fermented pollack?
- It's fermented flatfish. It's my favorite.
- It's fermented flatfish.
Did your mother make this?
This takes a lot of work.
Our chefs have to taste this to figure out his taste.
- Please go ahead and taste it.
- Actually, it's fermented pollack.
She made fermented pollack instead.
- She makes pickled and fermented dishes herself.
- It's really delicious.
- It's very delicious.
- It's not too salty, so you can eat it without rice.
- Have you tried fermented pollack before?
- No, it's my first time.
- Really?
- I'm sure this will be perfect with rice.
- It's really tasty.
I can drink three bottles of soju with this.
- Can I take some?
- I think I'm going to really need it.
- We see a lot of pickled dishes as well here in the back.
- I see a lot of them here.
- It's pickled thistle.
This must be salted small octopus.
It's pickled wild aster.
- I'm crazy about pickled dishes.
- It's hard to find good Korean dishes outside.
It's really difficult to find anything better than homemade dishes.
I always eat Korean dishes at home.
- I see your mouth is watering already.
- Right.
The pickled wild aster is my favorite.
I love Korean food.
Especially, wild vegetables.
I love true Korean dishes.
- I think Hyun-soo has some advantage today.
- The fridge is a treasure box.
- I see orange, apple, pear, green grape,
and avocado here.
These are vegetables.
I see pepper, napa cabbage, paprika, corn, mushroom, and Brussels sprout here.
- It's almost like a supermarket.
- I think we can do grocery shopping here.
- How much is it?
- There are so many kinds.
- My father has dinner at home every day.
- Every day?
- Then, I understand.
- I don't even remember when our family did eat out last time.
- Oh, I see.
- It means his mother is a great cook.
- Let's see the right side.
I see some wine here.
- This one is champagne.
It's wine.
- But I don't see any rice wine here.
- Our family is not a big fan of rice wine.
- Are you serious?
- I can't believe it...
- Wasn't he the president of a rice wine company?
My parents don't drink.
My mother can't, and my father used to drink a lot back then.
But, he's quite old now.
- He doesn't drink for his health.
- It's like singers don't like karaoke.
- I get easily drunk.
- I heard your nickname is Crazy Roy.
- I had a party with Davichi last time. I think I remember all.
But they said I kept barking at that night.
- Barking?
- They said I was barking
like a dog.
But I remember anything about it.
- So you bark when you're drunk, right?
- No, I don't.
- How do people bark when they're drunk?
- Oh my.
- Yap, yap!
Let's check out the freezer this time.
I see sirloin here. - It's a lot.
- Stiploin and Korean beef from Hoengseong.
This one is Korean beef as well.
It's filled with quality ingredients.
- It looks like a freezer truck.
- I love all kinds of meat.
- You too, right?
- I think we have a similar taste.
- I think you two will be great for a Korean beef commercial.
- That sounds great.
- Sounds good.
- We have an amazing agency.
- Spring Spring Spring Korean beef.
Isn't it great?
- I see various wild vegetables here.
He loves wild vegetables.
- I really love them.
- Let's see here.
- It looks like the ocean.
- Right.
- What's that?
- The blue crab is as big as snow crab.
- It's amazing.
- It's freshwater eel.
This one is tile fish.
- It's filled with all kinds of ingredients.
- It's a lot.
- I think that fridge should go
in the bunker made for the apocalypse.
- Roy's mother is amazing.
I guess that's enough.
It's going to take the whole night to go through all these.
That's it.
It's time to list our four competitors.
The first seed is Choi Hyun-seok, and the second seed Lee Jae-hoon.
The third seed is Mihal.
The fourth seed is Yoo Hyun-soo.
I can't wait to see their battles.
Let's see Roy's wish dishes.
Korean Food In The US.
Western Food In Korea.
- I study in Washington D.C., which is far away from the Korean town.
So I have to take a cab to get there, and it takes a long time.
I want some dish that I can make with
groceries from any supermarket.
- Which food did you miss the most there?
I mean Korean food.
- I can easily taste various Korean dishes such as Kimchi Stew in New York.
But for example, I can't see Soy Sauce Marinated Crab anywhere.
- Right, it's almost impossible to see it in the US.
- I can't find such food there.
- Soy Sauce Marinated Crab in 15 minutes?
- I hate anything that's too fishy.
I really hate that fishy smell.
- Western Food In Korea.
Could you explain it to us?
- I've been eating homemade Korean dishes.
I think it would be interesting if you could make
Western dishes with Korean ingredients here.
- So he wants a Western dish that's Koreanized.
- Right.
- Yoo Hyun-soo can choose first.
He's a Korean cuisine chef.
But, didn't you study abroad?
- Yes, I studied in both Europe
and the US.
I too was thinking of the same thing there.
So I'm going for the first one.
- Western Food In Korea.
Next, the second seed.
- It's an easy choice.
I'm a foreigner in Korea.
I will go for the second one.
- It's amazing.
- It's very clear.
- It's optimized.
- Mihal must be good at this.
- I think he's going to get the third star.
- I'm going for the first one.
- Korean Food In The US.
- The first one.
- Korean Food In The US.
Then, Hyun-seok has to battle with Miahl
who's celebrating the 10th anniversary of his restaurant.
- Congratulations, Mihal.
- It's an old restaurant versus
newly opened place match.
Then, it's time to begin
their cooking match.
The first match is Lee Jae-hoon versus Yoo Hyun-soo.
Something unexpected happened last week.
Poong did an excellent job last week.
- So he's the only one who has
the fourth star here.
- Right, he's a four-star chef.
- He's ahead of all the professional chefs here.
Let's see what will happen today.
Jae-hoon, it's been a while, right?
- Yes, it's been around two months.
- I heard you visited Hyun-soo's restaurant
to try some of his dishes.
What do you think about them?
- They tasted clean.
- So it's not overwhelming, right?
- You can beat him, right?
- Some of them were amazing.
- So you're saying some were bad, right?.
- My grandmother is an excellent cook.
His dishes reminded me of her.
- So you're saying they don't suit young people's taste, right?
I guess he thinks he can handle him.
But I think he is at a disadvantage since
he has to battle with a Korean cuisine chef.
The theme seems to be perfect for Hyun-soo.
- But I can't use all the ingredients in the fridge.
So you never know.
- Right, when we make Korean food in the US...
- It doesn't taste right a bit somewhat.
- It feels like something is missing.
Something is wanting.
- Right.
- I think it's because of the ingredients.
- Right, something is different.
- I can't wait to see how they will overcome it.
- The title of my dish is Kimchi Wraps With Shrimp.
- Kimchi Wraps With Shrimp.
Kimchi wraps with shrimp?
- When I was in the US, I missed kimchi and
soy sauce marinated seafood the most.
It's really hard to make such dishes there.
So I'm going to make
soy sauce based shrimp. - In 15 minutes?
- Next, you can easily get chili pepper there.
So I'm going to make kimchi wraps
with chili pepper and tomato sauce.
I will use Chinese cabbage.
It will come with boiled pork slices.
That's about it.
- It sounds as good as a feast.
- Can he really do it all in 15 minutes? - I'm not sure.
But he's saying he can do that in 15 minutes.
- What I'm making today is Stir-fried Pork And Daikon Water Kimchi.
- Stir-fried Pork And Daikon Water Kimchi.
- It's stir-fried pork, right?
- I'm going to make stir-fried pork
with tomato sauce and ramen soup base.
I will also make daikon water kimchi
with daikon and apple.
- Daikon water kimchi?
- Daikon water kimchi in 15 minutes?
- Yes, I'm going to make
water based white radish kimchi in 15 minutes.
- I don't think there is daikon in the US.
- In Italy, I used kohlrabi or radish instead.
They are pretty much the same.
So it doesn't really matter.
- Okay, I see.
They're going to make soy sauce marinated shrimp
and radish water kimchi in 15 minutes.
It's time to begin the match.
Jae-hoon will make a new kind of
Korean food to let him taste the home.
Hyun-soo will comfort him by serving
a heartfelt Korean dish.
Who's going to be the winner?
Let's begin the 15-minute cooking battle.
Korean Food In The US.
Jae-hoon is cutting daikon first.
Hyun-soo is pouring soy sauce.
Isn't it too much?
- It's because I have to make it in such a short time.
- He's right. He doesn't have time to marinate it.
He's adding soy sauce and sugar.
- He doesn't like anything that smells fishy.
- Right.
- He's very skillful.
Jae-hoon is peeling an apple.
- He has chef swag.
- That's usual at nightclubs.
- Poong is belittling his skill.
- What's wrong with nightclubs?
I go there all the time.
Not all the time, but still.
There's nothing wrong with nightclubs.
- Are you going to put them in your radish water kimchi?
- Yes, I will.
And the daikon is salted.
- I can see soy sauce marinated shrimp and radish water kimchi are key points here.
- It's important to make them tasty in such a short time.
- Right.
- It's soy sauce marinated shrimp versus radish water kimchi.
- He started it.
He's showing up his advanced skills.
- What's that?
- I'm going to make boiled pork slices.
But I'm deep-frying it before steaming it in a pot to cook faster.
- Wow.
- What's that?
- I see he's getting rid of the bad smell from pork.
- Does coffee get rid of that bad smell?
- Of course.
- He's using coffee to get rid of the bad smell from pork.
- I remember I hated that smell when eating pork in the US.
- That's too bad.
- I think I can make it myself anytime if that's possible.
- Jae-hoon seems quite relaxed now.
- Right.
He's so calm.
- He's making stir-fried pork.
He's about to use ramen soup base.
He's finally using it.
Jae-hoon is using ramen soup base.
What's happening?
He just added ramen soup base.
- I ground some apple as well.
The mixture of apple and tomato sauce makes it taste very Korean.
The taste will be irresistible.
- It sounds perfect.
He's stir-frying it.
- It looks delicious.
- It's stir-fried pork.
- It must be a good idea to use ramen soup base when making stir-fried pork.
- It will be better if you add a little bit of red pepper powder and hot pepper.
- I guess you all have done it before.
- Is that salt water?
Yes, it's salt water.
- It's because you have to make it fast, right?
- It's shredded daikon.
- This will go inside the kimchi wraps.
- Right.
- He's taking them out right away.
- There's ice underneath.
I'm going to make it cold.
- He's cooling it down.
- Is this a known method?
- No.
- It's not a known method.
- I did it once when I was in the US
since I was craving it so much.
But the taste is quite similar.
- I'm a bit worried since
I'm too lazy to peel shrimp with hands.
- Okay.
Does he have to peel it?
- Yes.
- But he hates to do that.
- Just say you're going to peel it for him.
You should peel it for him.
- We have five minutes left.
Jung-hwan is going over there.
- It's stir-fried pork made with ramen soup base.
How do you like the soup?
Does it taste like ramen soup?
- It tastes like home.
Ramen soup base never lets us down.
- It's the taste of home.
The taste must be very Korean.
- Could you taste the soy sauce?
- This must not smell fishy, right?
- How do you like the sauce?
Does it have a fishy smell?
- I can't believe it.
- Does it taste similar?
- Yes.
- Does it taste like soy sauce marinated crab?
- Yes, it does.
It really does.
It tastes like soy sauce marinated crab.
- Wait.
- It's amazing.
- It's unbelievable.
- It really looks like true Korean food.
- It smells like true Korean food.
- Right.
- It really looks like some water kimchi.
- It's radish water kimchi.
It's pork slices that will come with kimchi wraps.
- It looks delicious.
- He's peeling the shrimp right now.
Time is running out.
- He's peeling the shrimp.
- How many...
- He's really doing it since Roy wants it.
- He just cursed.
- I just saw his lips.
He said "He's too picky".
"He's extremely picky".
- But we have to satisfy the taste of every guest.
- Right, we have to.
- 20 seconds left.
- We don't have much time left.
Time is running out.
- We don't have time.
- Jae-hoon is in trouble.
- It doesn't seem to be fully cooked.
- 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5.
4, 3, 2, 1.
It's done.
- Time's up.
Hyun-soo just finished it.
- It's amazing.
- I can't believe they really did it in 15 minutes.
- It's not just one dish.
- It's unbelievable.
- It's amazing.
- They did it in 15 minutes.
- They don't look like the dishes made in 15 minutes.
I can't believe they made these multiple dishes in time.
It takes me an hour to cook just Soybean Paste Stew.
No wonder they are excellent chefs.
- Right.
But the taste is the most important.
- Right.
- It smells nothing like ramen soup base.
- Really?
- Jae-hoon used ramen soup base without hesitation.
- It's cut into small pieces.
- You're waiting to cook the meat properly, right?
- I was waiting on purpose since
radish water kimchi should be tasted later.
- Oh, I see.
But he couldn't wait any longer and finished it earlier.
- I see.
- I will try this then.
- It's stir-fried pork.
I hope it doesn't have any bad smell.
It must not have that smell.
How do you like it?
What's that reaction?
- I'm really curious.
- It looks a bit American.
- I think it's American rather than Korean.
- Really?
- The tomato flavor is too strong.
It feels like I'm tasting some tomato-based food.
- Does it really?
- He used a lot of ramen soup base, but
it tastes nothing like ramen soup base.
It's really tasty, but
it's a bit like some fusion cuisine.
- I see.
Was it part of your intention?
- I think I used tomato sauce too much.
- It's a critical mistake.
- But it's really delicious.
- I see.
Now, it's radish water kimchi.
- It's radish water kimchi.
- Right.
Radish water kimchi.
How do you like it?
- He looks confused.
- He looks surprised...
- This tastes very Korean.
- I can't believe he made radish water kimchi in 15 minutes.
- It tastes like true Korean food.
I think these two go well together.
This one tastes quite sweet, and
the other tastes very refreshing.
- I guess many students studying abroad
will follow this recipe.
- Right.
Especially, they will like the radish water kimchi.
- How did you make the sauce?
- It's similar to the sauce for kimchi wraps.
I made it with tomato sauce, red pepper
powder, and vinegar.
- The meat is a bit worrisome.
He's eating three pieces at once.
It's kimchi wraps with pork.
- Every Korean loves it.
- Of course.
He seems very serious.
- Look at his face.
- He looks like the Lonely Gourmet.
- It looks like he's trying to find some flaws.
- How do you like it?
- It's really delicious.
- He loves it.
- This doesn't taste like American food at all.
It feels like Korean food.
- Does it taste like real kimchi?
- Yes, it does.
- He's really enjoying it.
The kimchi must be very tasty.
- I can't believe he really did it in 15 minutes.
- That's the power of kimchi.
- I'm sure even Won Grandma can't do that in 15 minutes.
- He's hilarious.
- It's almost impossible
to do that in 15 minutes.
- It got cold a little, so it's a bit tough.
If I had tried this right away,
it would've tasted just like real kimchi wraps with pork.
- Right, you should've not
asked him to peel the shrimp.
It's all because of you.
He's trying soy sauce shrimp this time.
That's key.
- Right.
- The later the better.
- Right.
I can't wait to try this.
- Here is a leg left.
- It took a lot of time.
- I can't wait to taste this.
- Let's see if he likes it.
- I hope it won't smell fishy.
- Right.
- He really looks like the Lonely Gourmet.
- He looks unpleasant.
- I think he loves it.
- It's very delicious.
This tastes nothing like regular soy sauce marinated shrimp.
It feels like I'm eating shrimp with the sweet and sour soup of soy sauce crab.
Because of the time constraint, it's not really marinated.
If he had cooked this longer
- and waited a little,
- it would've tasted much tastier.
I don't think I can experience this taste in the US.
It's amazing.
You should try them right now.
- Okay.
It's time for us to try them.
Let's taste Jae-hoon's dish first.
Stir-fried Pork And Daikon Water Kimchi.
Let's go ahead and taste it.
I love this pork.
- It's delicious.
- I think Roy is a bit sensitive.
I don't feel tomato sauce that much.
- It tastes nothing like ramen soup base.
- Right.
- I love this radish water kimchi.
- Do you like it?
- It's really delicious.
It's very tasty.
- This radish water kimchi is excellent.
- It's so refreshing.
- It's much better than I expected.
- This radish water kimchi is the best.
- Right, he made that in 15 minutes.
- I don't think I've ever tasted this kind of kimchi even in Korea.
But still, it tastes like true Korean food.
- It's hard to expect any unique stir-fried pork
when it's made with red pepper paste.
I think this dish will be perfect for kids
and foreigners who can't handle spicy food.
- We just heard our four-star chef's opinion.
- You're an excellent chef.
He's good enough.
- You all have to stand him
doing that.
He's the only four-star chef here.
- I feel guilty now.
- No, don't worry.
- That's why your vote is very important.
Do you understand?
- What are you talking about? It's important to satisfy the taste.
Now, let's try Hyun-soo's dish.
Kimchi Wraps With Shrimp.
- This tastes better than the kimchi of my favorite ramen place.
- I think Won Grandma should start to get worried.
It's fresh kimchi, but
it has a rich and spicy taste.
This goes really well with pork slices.
- It's really delicious.
I'm a big fan of soy sauce marinated shrimp.
I don't mind any fishy smell.
This doesn't smell fishy and really tastes like soy sauce marinated crab.
- I see.
- It looks like kimchi, but I can taste tomato here.
I think that's very unique.
- Since I'm going to run a Korean restaurant in Bulgaria later,
I think I should learn this. But there is one thing missing.
This needs raw garlic.
- Raw garlic.
- Pork slices with raw garlic.
That would be much better.
- Okay, I see.
It's time to make a choice.
The first dish is Hyun-soo's, and the second one is Jae-hoon's.
- I pressed it.
- He pressed a button.
Korean Food In The US.
Who did Roy choose in the end?
Let's see who's the winner.
Show us the result.
- Who's the winner?
- Yoo Hyun-soo.
Hyun-soo won.
He won.
Kimchi wraps defeated radish water kimchi.
- In the US, I can get kimchi wraps with pork
from K-Town if I really want it.
I do make stir-fried pork myself sometimes.
But I can't find soy sauce shrimp anywhere.
I see many students studying abroad miss
and want these dishes.
But now, I can make it myself there.
- Okay, I see.
Congratulations on your second win.
Yoo Hyun-soo.
Now, they have to make Western dishes with Korean ingredients.
Hyun-seok is a Korean chef who's good at making Western dishes.
Mihal is a foreign chef who's good at making Korean dishes.
It's Choi Hyun-seok versus Mihal.
- Mihal is very good at making Korean dishes.
- He won every Korean food match.
- Really?
- He makes Korean chefs feel embarrassed.
- Wow!
- He even defeated Yoo Hyun-soo.
- In a Korean cuisine match.
- Mihal's celebrating the 10th anniversary of his restaurant.
Hyun-seok just opened his restaurant.
- It's been only five days.
- This match can lead to either good promotion
or lots of reservation cancellations.
- Right.
- I will pass some reservations to you.
- It sounds like he already won.
You could lose.
I'm not sure I heard it right, but is today your birthday?
- Yes, March 17. It's my birthday.
- It's today then.
So we have something for you.
(Singing) Happy Birthday to You~.
Happy Birthday Dear Mihal~.
It seems Hyun-seok is in an awkward situation.
If he wins this match, he can share the lead with Poong.
But it's too brutal to beat Mihal
on his birthday.
- Today's dish is for
Roy, not Mihal.
I'm going to make a dish for him with all my heart.
- He and I think in the same way.
We are going in the same direction.
I've been very serious all the time.
I always make dishes with all my heart.
- I think I picked the wrong one.
- You can do this with all your heart.
You can do this.
- We have to watch that because of you, Yong-hwa.
- Sorry, I made a huge mistake.
- Right.
I can't wait to find out who will be the winner.
What are you making today?
- What I'm going to make today is Delicious Croquette.
- Delicious Croquette.
- I'm going to make croquette with
vegetables, cheese, and bacon.
And then, I will add some
pickled wild vegetables to make it tastier.
- Pickled wild vegetables?
He's like a Korean chef.
- If there is some time left, I will make a salad with Whole Radish Kimchi.
- Wow, that salad is a killer.
- I crave Whole Radish Kimchi every time I eat Korean food.
- It's Delicious Croquette.
- The title of my dish is Winning Lasagna.
- Winning Lasagna.
- I'm going to make seafood lasagna with
salted pollack roe, abalone, shrimp, and pickled wild aster.
It will have a very nice texture, and I'm going to make
a unique dish by bringing some Korean taste.
- He's making lasagna with salted pollack roe.
It's time to begin their cooking battle.
Hyun-seok is going to make a harmonious fusion dish.
Mihal has never lost any Korean dish match.
It's Choi Hyun-seok versus Mihal.
Who's going to be the winner?
It's time to find out.
Let's begin their 15-minute cooking battle.
Will Mihal be able to celebrate his birthday by winning?
- Salt.
- Wow.
I've never seen him do that before.
- I can tell Hyun-seok really doesn't want to lose.
- How are you going to get rid of the fishy smell of shrimp and abalone?
- All I have to do is to cook it well.
The fishy smell of abalone comes from its innards.
It doesn't smell fishy at all without them.
So I'm going to remove its innards
to get rid of the fishy smell Roy hates.
- He sounds like AlphaGo.
- He's very robotic.
He's slicing vegetables quietly.
No wonder it's spring.
He wants him to eat a lot of vegetables.
He's a naturalist.
- He's making his special salad with
sliced vegetables, vinegar, and kimchi.
That's what he's doing.
- Abalone.
- It's abalone.
- Where is oil?
Where is it?
- There.
Mihal has it.
- Why did you take my oil?
Do you want a birthday punch?
- It's his birthday.
- "Do you want a birthday punch?".
- What is he doing?
- He's making cream sauce.
- It's my favorite.
- Roy loves cream pasta.
- That's it.
- Hyun-seok is using a lot of cheese.
It looks really delicious.
- Milk.
And some flour.
He's really making lasagna.
- Where is the blender?
- What?
- What are you looking for?
- It looks like he needs something.
- What do you need?
- He needs a blender.
- He can't find the blender.
- I can't find it anywhere.
- He's in trouble.
- Blender.
- The blender is right over there.
- Did you find it for him?
Are you going to show us some nice and warm moment?
Blender.
Choi Hyun-seok.
- Go ahead. It's right over there.
- He just dropped it.
- He doesn't want to find it for him.
- He already chopped it.
- He did it without the blender.
Mihal is using a lot of vegetables.
- He's mashing vegetables.
- It's filled with vegetables.
- He's doing it by hand.
- He's mixing cream cheese, vegetables, and flour.
- What is he making?
- He's making the dough for croquette.
- I guess he's going to deep-fry it.
- It's full of vegetables.
- He's finally shaping it.
- He's deep-frying croquette.
- Instead of bread crumbs, he's using
flour to make Korean-style pancakes.
- He's making a fusion dish.
- It looks like hamburger steak.
- Right.
- Let's see how he makes croquette.
- It looks like crepe.
- I think he's going to wrap it.
- Oh, I see.
- What's inside it?
- It's interesting.
- It looks quite difficult.
- He used salted pollack roe too much. It will be too salty.
- It's salted pollack roe, right?
He's taking some out.
He responds very fast.
- I want a lot of meat in croquette.
- As I said before, I'm going to
use a lot of bacon.
- He's using a lot of bacon.
Mihal is very generous in using ingredients.
We have 5 minutes left.
5 minutes left.
- Here come pickled wild vegetables.
It's definitely Korean.
- He's adding more pickled wild vegetables.
What kind of pickled vegetable is that?
- It's pickled wild aster.
I wonder how it will go with bacon.
- It doesn't make sense to me.
- Will Mihal be able to celebrate his birthday?
It's really delicious.
- Is it good?
- It's very delicious.
I think he's going to win on his birthday.
Bacon and pickled wild vegetables go very well together.
- Really?
- It's amazing.
It's really tasty.
- Wow, he's deep-frying it.
- Wow, the deep-frying sound.
- He's finishing it up.
He's ending it with a layer of cream sauce.
- It must be very hot.
- He's sacrificing his hands.
- It's hot.
- Right, it seems very hot.
- Roy Kim.
- He's asking for bonus points.
- It's for Roy Kim.
- He's done.
- It looks like some dessert.
- Mihal is doing the presentation.
It looks amazing.
- Cheese.
He's grating cheese at the end.
It's Korean-style.
- It's a Korean-style Western dish.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
It's done.
- He finished it.
- 2 seconds left.
- It's unbelievable.
It's really amazing.
- It looks really delicious.
- Look at the inside.
- I see a lot of ingredients.
- Right.
It's filled with different ingredients.
- It's a bit like omelet.
- Omelet.
- Let me try this first.
- I can see salted pollack roe from here.
- I can see it.
It's lasagna.
It's crepe-style lasagna.
How do you like it?
More cream sauce would've been better.
- It's really delicious.
He definitely loves it.
- The pickled wild aster makes it less greasy.
It feels like it's telling me to continue eating it.
Since it's telling me so, I'm going to take another bite.
- It's interesting.
- It's amazing.
Thank you for making this wonderful dish with Korean ingredients.
- It's a Western dish made with Korean ingredients.
How do you like hijikia?
- What is it saying?
- This fried hijikia is...
- I guess it's not saying much.
- Right, it doesn't say much.
It's a bit soggy now.
- Maybe it's because it got cold.
- No, it's because he used
only flour without any starch powder.
He should've added starch powder.
- It's our four-star chef's opinion.
- I think he wanted a crispier texture.
- Nobody's making a counterargument to the four-star chef's opinion.
- No one can do that.
- It's really amazing.
- He really loves it.
- There is a lot of cheese inside it.
- The color of the inside looks beautiful.
- Right.
- It looks gorgeous, right?
- It looks like Shrek.
- It's full of vegetables.
- It matches well with spring.
- Asparagus.
- The sauce is a bit salty...
- Look at his eyes.
In shock?
- Not good?
- He looks surprised.
- Is it good?
It's very delicious.
- It's really delicious.
- He's giving a standing ovation.
- You used only vegetables here, right?
- Just broccoli, cauliflower, and asparagus.
- Right, he just mixed those vegetables.
- He's very good with vegetables.
- This looks less luxurious, but I think it should
be served at some more high-end restaurant.
- It must be much better than it looks.
- Hyun-seok's making an awkward smile.
- You should be careful. Hyun-seok is watching you.
- He keeps eating it, avoiding his eyes.
- He's trying the side dish.
- That salad is a killer.
- Is it made with Whole Radish Kimchi?
- It's a bit like Coleslaw.
- He's exactly right. It tastes like Coleslaw made with whole radish kimchi.
- Right.
- It's a very close match.
It's unbelievable.
It makes me regret that I've been eating only Korean food.
- Oh, I see.
- It really does.
- It's such a great combination of Korean and Western dishes.
- Right, I didn't expect this would be so good.
- It's time for us to try them.
Let's taste Hyun-seok's dish first.
- Winning Lasagna.
- It's very tasty.
- It's really delicious.
- Wow, salted pollack roe.
- It has an interesting taste here.
- I can't stop eating it. It's so good.
- It feels a bit greasy after eating cream sauce and crepe, but
that greasy feeling goes away the moment I take a bite of salted pollack roe.
It's such an excellent choice.
- Right.
- Oh, I see.
- It's impossible to make this kind of dish
without a calculative recipe.
The pickled wild aster keeps
refreshing the taste.
- I'm glad our four-star chef found it.
- Look at his face.
He's pretending to be okay.
What do you think?
Do you think he's going to be the next four-star chef?
- I think my fourth star should belong to him.
- He's so humble.
- He's such an amazing chef.
What was your name, by the way?...
I've never heard of him, but I think he's a hidden gem.
- Right, we have a hidden gem here.
Let's try Mihal's dish this time.
- It smells just like Korean pancake.
- The bottom part is a bit salty.
- I think he should sell these.
- It feels like Western mung-bean pancake.
- It's very interesting.
- My favorite mung-bean pancake place
is located in Gwangjang Market.
They serve mung-bean pancake with onion.
- Right, soy sauce onion.
- It tastes like that mung-bean pancake with onion, and
it's croquette that makes me want to use chopsticks.
It's very Korean.
- Right.
- I really enjoyed it.
It's really delicious.
- He couldn't find the blender, so he chopped them with a knife.
But that made it better.
- Really?
- He put them in his dough, right?
We wouldn't taste their juice
and be able to chew them,
if he ground them.
- I guess a four-star chef can see all those.
- I didn't see them, but
- my tongue told me so.
- I picked the wrong one.
- It's time to make a choice.
If Hyun-seok doesn't win this match, all the chefs here
will have to suffer for another two weeks.
- No one will be able to make a counterargument.
- They will have to hear a lot of words from him.
- Right.
- It all depends on Roy's choice.
The first dish is Mihal's.
The second one is Hyun-seok's.
Please press a button.
Let's see the result.
Please show us the result.
Western Food In Korea.
Will Hyun-seok win the fourth star?
Will Mihal celebrate his birthday?
Let's find out his choice.
Please show us the result.
- Please show us the result.
Who's the winner?
The result is...
It's Mihal.
- (Singing) Happy Birthday to You~.
Happy Birthday to You~.
Dear Mihal, Congratulations on Your Third Win~.
- He's a three-star chef now.
Could you tell us why you chose Mihal?
- I usually don't eat vegetables much, but
he made a dish that can
help me enjoy eating a lot of vegetables.
- Right.
- To be honest, I have no idea.
- No, that's fine.
Mihal has been running his restaurant for 10 years.
I just started mine, but it looks like
I have some problems. Please don't feel pressure.
There are many handsome singers out there, but CNBLUE is the best.
- Oh, I see.
- Thanks for choosing me.
When I first started my restaurant, I had a lot of hard times.
So don't worry. It will be alright.
- He's saying everyone has rough times at first.
- As a winner.
- I went through a lot at that time.
- It's going well.
- Our star chefs lost three times in a row,
but Poong is at the top alone.
- I think he will win this season.
- Right, he's at the top alone.
Poong keeps his first place with a record of four wins.
Mihal won his third star.
You did a good job.
Congratulations.
