JTBC's 'Smiling President' has confirmed its organization in June, and confirmed the casting of 3MC Lee Kyung-gyu, Park Na-rae, and Kang Yul.
'Smiling Boss', which will be broadcasted for the first time in June, is a program in which celebrities who are serious about cooking open a restaurant specializing in delivery food, become presidents, and compete with sales.
The three celebrity presidents of 'The Smiling Boss', which was released today (25th), are Lee Gyeong-gyu, the godfather of entertainment, Narae Park, the entertainment queen, and new actor Kang Yul. In the future, the three will transform into delivery restaurant owners and compete for delivery without concessions.
'Smiling President' is joined by Lee Kyung-gyu, who has already made a mark in the culinary industry, Park Na-rae, nicknamed 'Park Jang-geum' for his sharp hands, and Kang Yul, a former restaurant owner who studied abroad in Italy. Kang Yul arouses curiosity by saying that he plays the role of a 'catfish' that shakes the board while making the seniors nervous.
In particular, it stimulates interest with the concept of 'delivery food business confrontation' that was not found in previous entertainment programs. It is even more noteworthy that it is accompanied by guests who will act as employees and authentic dishes of Lee Gyeong-gyu, Park Na-rae, and Kang Yul.
'Smiling President' is set in the mobile food delivery market, and unlike existing restaurant business entertainment, it is expected to deliver a lot of sympathy and laughter with a difference in the sales competition of 'who is better at restaurant business'.
'The Smiling President' is planned by Jang Si-won, who produced 'Trust Me, Follow Me, City Fisherman' and 'Strongest Baseball', and is directed by Seo Dong-gil, producer of Seasons 1, 2, and 3 of 'Just Trust Me, Follow Me, City Fisherman'. The first broadcast is scheduled.
Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-kyu is currently appearing on Channel A's 'Trust Me and Eat Urban Sashimi Restaurant', which runs a raw fish restaurant. 'Urban Sashimi Restaurant' is in a slump, recording its lowest viewership rating of 0.8% in a recent broadcast.
