Chef Cho Seo-hyung Joins 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' After Netflix Fame

Chef Cho Seo-hyung, known for her appearance on Netflix's 'Chef in Black and White,' is set to feature on the variety show 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears.' Previously, Chef Lim Sung-geun, who appeared in 'Chef in Black and White 2,' was embroiled in controversy after it was revealed he had six criminal convictions, including DUI and assault.

On the upcoming episode of KBS 2TV's 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears,' airing on the 1st, ATEEZ member San will appear as a special MC, while Chef Cho Seo-hyung makes her debut as a new boss. Known for her bold and intuitive take on traditional Korean cuisine, Chef Cho has gained attention for her restaurant, where reservations reportedly sell out in just 8 seconds after her Netflix appearance.

Chef Cho, who champions trendy Korean cuisine, surprises everyone by revealing her monthly expenses on oil and quick service. She states, "I love ingredients. About half of my total sales go to ingredient costs," adding, "I spend 2.1 million won a month just on sesame and perilla oil." Despite her busy schedule, she insists on personally pressing these oils at a mill, prompting Kim Sook to exclaim, "That's truly impressive."

Additionally, Chef Cho, who is set to marry in May, candidly discusses the income difference with her fiancé, who specializes in restaurant planning. She confidently states, "I earn more than my fiancé," showcasing her business acumen.

'The Boss Has Donkey Ears' airs at 4:40 PM.
