John Park shows signs of fatigue as the popularity of 'The Genius Paik 3' grows.

On the October 24th episode of tvN's 'The Genius Paik 3', viewers saw Baek Jong-won, Yuri, Lee Jang-woo, Yoon Si-yoon, and John Park running a Korean BBQ restaurant in Lyon, France.

After reviewing the second day's sales, Baek Jong-won expressed confidence, stating, "We can do this." Sales had jumped from 798 euros to 1005 euros, surpassing one of the competing restaurants and showcasing the potential of K-food.

Baek introduced a new menu item, Dakgalbi, but faced challenges. The first batch burned due to a lack of water. He decided to adjust the recipe to a Dakbokkeumtang style with more broth.

However, the lunch service was a failure, with the restaurant empty of customers. John reported, "The business is a big failure," and Baek analyzed it as a strategic failure in menu change.

Observing from outside, Baek noted, "The Dakgalbi looks too spicy, so people aren't coming in. They came in when they saw others eating Samgyeopsal the day before." He then added a soy sauce-flavored Dakgalbi to the menu.

Before the dinner service, Baek motivated the staff, saying, "The morning sales were low because we didn't have enough energy." The strategy of offering non-spicy soy sauce Dakgalbi worked, attracting more customers. Yuri also introduced K-style Somaek, boosting the popularity of their drinks.

In the midst of the busy situation, John openly sighed, saying, "This doesn't feel like a show. It's just hard labor. It's not entertainment." Yuri agreed, joking that it felt like a 'real-life experience' show.

Meanwhile, the preview for next week's episode shows Baek attempting to sell 'Sulbbang' in the land of bread, but problems arise. Customers leave in droves, and Yuri, showing signs of exhaustion, steps outside, heightening the tension and anticipation.
