Michelin Guide Korea 2026: Chef Couple Kim Hee-eun and Yoon Dae-hyun's Secret Mission Unveiled on 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2'

On the October 24th episode of SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2', viewers will get an exclusive first look at the '2026 Michelin Guide Korea' awards ceremony featuring chef couple Kim Hee-eun and Yoon Dae-hyun. As the event marks its 10th anniversary, all eyes are on whether the couple will maintain or elevate their Michelin star status.

The atmosphere was tense for Kim Hee-eun and Yoon Dae-hyun as they received an invitation to the '2026 Michelin Guide Korea' awards ceremony. They kept the news under wraps, not even sharing it with close chef friends, family, or colleagues, maintaining secrecy until the day of the event. In the studio, there was speculation and excitement, with comments like, “Being invited means they’re keeping their 1-star,” and “They might be upgraded to 2-stars.” The couple executed a top-secret mission reminiscent of a spy movie to keep their invitation confidential. The question remains whether their 'Michelin invitation secrecy operation' will succeed.

The Michelin awards ceremony was a star-studded affair, featuring renowned chefs. From the sharp-tongued judge Chef Ahn Sung-jae of 'Black and White Chef', to the unique 'Double Star Chef' Son Jong-won who captured hearts nationwide, and the 'only 3-star chef in Korea' Kang Min-goo, the event drew significant attention in the studio. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Michelin Guide Korea, the ceremony was broadcast for the first time, leaving the studio in awe with comments like, “This is the first time seeing the Michelin awards on TV,” and “The energy is different.” The suspenseful moment of announcing the 2026 stars will be exclusively revealed on 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2'.

Additionally, Chef Kim Hee-eun shared a poignant personal story, revealing she met her biological mother for the first time at 18. Born after her parents' divorce, she grew up without her mother and expressed her lifelong curiosity about what having a mother felt like. The studio was moved to tears when Kim Hee-eun's first words to her mother after 18 years were revealed.

The episode featuring 'star chef' Kim Hee-eun's surprising childhood and the 'spectacular culinary festival' at the Michelin Guide Korea awards will air on October 24th at 10:40 PM on SBS's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2'.
