Chef & Hunter: Choo Sung-hoon Faces Flight Delay Drama in the Philippines

Choo Sung-hoon, a popular TV personality, encounters a flight delay that threatens his timely participation in the filming of 'Chef & Hunter.'

The upcoming episode of Channel A's variety show 'Chef & Hunter,' airing on the 19th, will reveal the results of the first hunt in Coron, Philippines, featuring seven different game species.

After wrapping up their journey in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia, the cast moves to their second hunting ground in Coron, Philippines. There, they set up a new base camp with a stunning beach view, a spacious outdoor kitchen, and a sand oven, capturing the members' attention. All eyes are on Edward Lee to see what wild culinary creations he will craft in this upgraded setting.

However, the Coron hunt faces challenges from the start. Due to Choo Sung-hoon's delayed flight, the team must decide on their first target without their leader. The hunting candidates in the Philippines include grouper, wild boar, wild goat, spiny lobster, cuttlefish, putian, and freshwater eel, totaling seven species. Some require capturing two types to be considered a success, adding to the difficulty. In Choo's absence, the team chooses wild goat as their first target. Edward Lee expresses his excitement, saying, "I've cooked goat many times. I can make a really delicious stew and soup."

The hunt is further enriched by the participation of the Tagbanua tribe, guardians of the deep Philippine wilderness, who join as special allies. Additionally, Edward Lee's determination to transform from a culinary master to a hunter is evident. He humorously yet earnestly engages in self-simulations, even getting caught in a hunting net himself, to prepare for the real hunt.

Once Choo Sung-hoon finally joins the team, they gear up for their first real hunt. A tense chase ensues as they navigate through tangled jungle vines, tracking signs of their prey. In the silence where even footsteps are forbidden, an unidentified silhouette is finally spotted. Whether this silhouette is indeed the wild goat remains to be seen in the full broadcast.

'Chef & Hunter' airs at 10 PM.
