Invites various chefs of the restaurants from all over Korea to compete to prove themselves as the best. They might not be the very famous chefs nor the chefs of the most fancy restaurants, but they are masters who devoted their whole lives to the perfection of their dishes! Show On September 21, chef Baek Jong Won, SHINee's Onew, DIA's Jung Chae Yeon, and more attended the press conference for tvN's new travel/cooking variety show, 'Eat Sleep Eat'. The producer of the show explained the reason they wanted to have Onew and Jung Chae Yeon in the cast, saying, "I was looking for nice kids like Onew and Jung Chae Yeon. I wanted to film this with kids who are too busy to eat well." Chef Baek Jon Won added, "Onew and Jung Chae Yeon ate anything and everything I made. Of course, I cook well. But because they ate my cooking so well, I had to think hard about the next meal. The managers who came with them were being bossy by being too concerned about what they were eating. I felt bad for them." The chef also went on to talk about how he succeeded in making both of his co-stars gain a bit of weight, sharing, "I actually got them to gain some weight. When I saw them again they were skinny again, so it made my heart cry. It made me want to take them in and make them gain weight again. It's too bad that they're idols. They can eat anything, but because they're watching their figures they weren't able to eat well." It sounds like the chef really has a soft spot for Onew and Jung Chae Yeon! You can catch the cast's adventures in Kudat, Malaysia beginning September 23 at 9:15 PM KST! On the recent episode of “Three Great Emperors” on January 14, celebrity chef Baek Jong Won introduced DIA’s Jung Chaeyeon and gugudan’s Kim Sejeong -who are also both I.O.I members- as his niece and daughter. When the panel asked which one is his niece and which one is his daughter, Baek Jong Won joked, “The one who resembles me is my daughter.” He apologized right after saying that, explaining, “I’m sorry towards Sejeong. Her nickname is me.” Then Kim Sejeong chimed in saying, “You know, I did see a couple videos of you,” and did one of his impersonations which made everyone burst out laughing.
