Park Ji-hoon Transforms into a Cook for Upcoming Drama 'Legendary Cook' and Impresses with Fried Rice Skills

Singer and actor Park Ji-hoon is set to captivate audiences with his new project 'Legendary Cook' as he transforms into a cook, showcasing his fried rice skills.

A video titled 'Park Ji-hoon, Becoming a Legend of Fried Rice' was uploaded on the YouTube channel operated by Dispatch.

In the video, Park Ji-hoon is seen diligently frying ingredients, exclaiming, "The smell is amazing." However, he humorously adds, "But just by looking at it, I wouldn't want to eat it. If I were a customer, I'd wonder what kind of fried rice this is."

As he continues cooking, Park Ji-hoon asks, "Can I taste it now?" and proceeds to taste his creation. He comments, "What does it taste like?" but admits, "I don't know why, but it's tasty, not bland, and not too salty."

Serving the fried rice on a plate, Park Ji-hoon suggests, "It should be eaten hot," and requests honest feedback, saying, "Please try it quickly and give me a candid review." He adds, "I won't rely on ketchup," joking that the dish might look unappealing but could be surprisingly mild.

The manager, after tasting, comments, "Fried rice should be fluffy," to which Park Ji-hoon responds, "This is how it is at my house." As the manager tastes the dish, a nervous Park Ji-hoon asks, "How is it? Would you never buy it? Can't you figure out the taste?" The manager replies, "It's not that it's bad, but it's a bit salty."

Park Ji-hoon then decides to use ketchup as a secret weapon. After tasting it again, the manager says, "It's definitely better than before," adding, "It's edible, but I wouldn't have it twice," rating it two stars. A disappointed Park Ji-hoon reflects, "I could have received no stars," and acknowledges, "I realized how amazing chefs are."

Meanwhile, Park Ji-hoon has also connected with fans through his new album 'RE:FLECT,' which explores confronting past emotions and reflecting on the present self. Through this project, Park Ji-hoon showcases his emotional depth and expressiveness.

Additionally, Park Ji-hoon, known for his role in the blockbuster film 'The King and the Clown' as 'Prince Danjong,' will meet viewers as the 'Legendary Cook.'
