Chef Choi Kang-rok Talks Life Changes After Winning Netflix's 'Black and White Chef'

Chef Choi Kang-rok, who won the grand prize of 300 million won on Netflix's 'Black and White Chef 2', humorously shared that his social life has expanded since the show.

On the 17th, a press conference for SBS's new variety show 'Choi Kang Road - Food Spoiler' was held at Sims Space in Sangam, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Attendees included Chef Choi Kang-rok, Chef Kim Do-yoon, singer Defconn, Son Jung-min, and PD Ha Jung-seok.

'Choi Kang Road - Food Spoiler' is a high-end culinary roadshow that reveals the secrets of cooking and the pleasure of intellectual gastronomy. Choi Kang-rok, Kim Do-yoon, and Defconn travel across the country to unveil spoilers that make food taste even better.

During the event, Choi Kang-rok explained his decision to join the program, saying, "I don't usually speak up unless asked. I know a lot, but someone has to ask for me to answer. However, this program seemed like a natural way to talk about food, so I decided to wear the mask once again."

He also shared updates on his life, stating, "I used to be a quiet person, but my social life has increased a bit since 'Black and White Chef'. I'm trying hard. If I don't speak, it doesn't end. I'm doing it with a squeezed heart," he said with a smile.

'Choi Kang Road - Food Spoiler' premieres on the 21st at 9 PM.
