Renowned Go player Lee Sedol found himself in an unexpected situation following his wife's revelations on a popular TV show.
On the October 8th episode of JTBC's 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator since 2014,' Lee Sedol appeared as a guest, unveiling his refrigerator on behalf of his wife. Lee shared, "My wife loves this show, so I'm here for her." When asked if he had her permission to appear, he humorously replied, "Yes, absolutely. I wouldn't dare otherwise."
The studio was abuzz when a letter from Lee's wife was revealed. Host Kim Sung-joo introduced the letter with a warning, "Lee Sedol has a very particular taste." The letter humorously noted, "My husband eats all three meals at home and has a unique palate. Don't be too concerned if he doesn't react to the food."
The letter continued, "He doesn't eat sweets or sesame. He prefers sauces for steak or burgers on the side and gets upset if they don't suit his taste. He dislikes fried food but enjoys noodles. He's quite particular." An Jung-hwan commented, "He's a real homebody with a picky taste," while Chef Choi Hyun-seok confidently stated, "It's a chef's job to change his taste."
Lee Sedol explained his unique eating habits, saying, "I don't eat out much. I'm used to the food my wife prepares."
Additionally, Kim Sung-joo jokingly asked Lee if he had any pretentiousness, to which Lee candidly admitted, "A little." Kim teased, "People challenge you with Go stones, but maybe your name should be 'Pretentious Lee' instead," eliciting laughter from the audience.
