Will Lee Jang-woo survive the pressure interview with Baek Jong-won?
The video released in advance of the first broadcast of tvN's new entertainment program 'Business Genius Baeksajang' today (2nd) has already predicted great fun.
Baek Jong-won set out to recruit local employees ahead of his first business in Morocco, Africa. Lee Jang-woo and BamBam applied without the CEO's knowledge and were interviewed on equal terms with local applicants. It also stimulates curiosity about how many points the two people actually received.
tvN's 'Business Genius Baeksajang' (directed by Lee Woo-hyung) is the so-called 'Baek Jong-won's World Restaurant Challenge' in which Baek Jong-won, Korea's best restaurant management expert, sets out from start to operation in a wasteland of Korean food. The country where the first business will open is Morocco, located at the northwestern tip of the African continent. Among them, the world's largest night market, with over 150 local stalls, is the place where he needs to survive. In a place with only a bare floor and a tent, you have to open a store and start business within 72 hours with a capital of 3 million won.
In a video released ahead of the first broadcast, the process of Baek Jong-won conducting an interview for hiring local employees before starting a full-fledged business was captured. However, there was an applicant who surprised him: actor Lee Jang-woo. Baek Jong-won, who was more nervous than the applicant while interviewing local employees who had difficulty communicating in the language, welcomed Jang-woo Lee warmly and made him laugh. Lee Jang-woo, who has always admired Baek Jong-won and earned the nickname 'Prince of Powder' for his culinary activities that followed Baek Jong-won's entire path, met his long-awaited idol in person and submitted a carefully written resume.
However, Baek Jong-won, who had welcomed him warmly, suddenly changed when the interview started and conducted a pressure interview, which embarrassed Lee Jang-woo. However, as soon as he discovered the commonality of being a 'powder capable person' in his self-introduction, he was hired as a full-time employee on the spot, once again showing his extraordinary 'love for powder'. The father-son-like chemistry between 'Powder Emperor' Baek Jong-won and 'Powder Prince' Lee Jang-woo was highly anticipated.
The production team said, “Lee Jang-woo and BamBam conducted an interview in front of Baek Jong-won along with local applicants. Among them, BamBam personally planned a hidden camera for the boss to give him a surprise gift, so you can look forward to it,” he said. “In addition, Baek Jong-won’s standards for hiring local employees will be fully covered in the first episode, as well as the entire process of preparing for starting a business.” am. “Don't miss tonight's first broadcast, where the elements necessary for starting an overseas business and Baek Jong-won's special know-how will be revealed,” he said, raising expectations with a 'spoiler' tip.
First broadcast today at 7:40 PM.
