Behind the Scenes with 'Black and White Chef 2' Star: A Heartfelt Family Story

Yoon Nam-no recently had the opportunity to meet the parents of 'Barbecue Research Institute Director,' a participant from 'Black and White Chef 2,' and uncovered various behind-the-scenes stories.

On the YouTube channel 'Studio Slam,' a video titled 'The Secret Boiled Pork of the Barbecue Family?! You'll Think About It a Lot Before Bed Tonight~ (Black and White Chef 2, Barbecue Research Institute Director, Suwon Mayor)' was uploaded.

In the video, Yoon Nam-no visits the Suwon market, meeting numerous culinary artisans, and eventually meets the parents of 'Barbecue Research Institute Director,' a participant from 'Black and White Chef 2.'

Yoon Nam-no cooks and prepares ingredients with the mother of 'Barbecue Research Institute Director,' Yoo Yong-ok, engaging in various conversations. Yoon asked, "Did you hear about Yoo Yong-ok's participation in 'Black and White Chef 2' from the beginning?"

The mother recalled, "I thought my heart would burst." Yoon then asked, "How did you feel when your son, who was working at a large corporation, decided to quit and pursue cooking?" The mother replied, "I cried," adding, "How did he get in and establish himself there?"

However, the mother also mentioned, "Fortunately, my daughter-in-law decided to continue working just in case." Yoon commented, "I think our Director Yoo would have excelled in anything he did." The mother added, "He researched barbecue for a long time, and on Fridays, he would leave work, go to the farm to prepare meat, and then meet friends. I told him, 'You're heading for divorce.'"

Yoon humorously agreed, "I understand. If I were his wife, I would have considered divorce too." The mother praised her daughter-in-law, saying, "Our daughter-in-law is very kind," drawing attention. After completing the dish, the mother dined with Yoon and the father. Additionally, the father surprised everyone by gifting a cutting board made by Yoo Yong-ok himself.

Meanwhile, Barbecue Research Institute Director Yoo Yong-wook is set to appear on MBC's 'The Manager.' Previously, Chef Lim Sung-geun announced his appearance on 'The Manager,' but it was ultimately edited out due to controversy.
