On the October 22nd episode of KBS 2TV's 'The Penthouse Problem Solvers', Netflix's hit show 'Black and White Chef 2' TOP4 contestant Chef Jung Ho-young and Season 1 winner Chef Kwon Sung-joon, also known as the 'Napoli Mafia', made an appearance.
During the broadcast, when asked if there were any unexpected participants, Jung Ho-young revealed, "The participation of each chef was kept a secret. Especially Chef Raymond Kim, who was the overall advisor for Season 1, surprised us by joining the show."
Jung Ho-young further disclosed, "Chef Choi Kang-rok's participation was completely confidential. He had told me he wouldn't be on TV because he was writing a book, and we lost contact. Then suddenly, he appeared and said, 'It's me, I'm back for another try,' which made me feel betrayed."
He eventually reached out to the production team first, saying, "I contacted the writer, pretending to check in on them, and that's how I got cast," revealing the behind-the-scenes story of his participation.
