Jinny’s Kitchen is an upcoming cooking reality show which is all set to premiere this week on OTT. It follows five Korean celebs who play the roles of restaurant staff and serve mouthwatering Korean cuisine to diners in the exotic town of Bacalar in Mexico, serving popular takeout meals and Korean street cuisine, including kimbap, tteokbokki.
Jinny’s Kitchen features Lee Seo-jin as the restaurant’s president, Jung Yu-mi as the director, Park Seo-joon as the general manager, Choi Woo-shik and the BTS’ V as interns.
Parasite actor Choi Woo-shik recently shared a statement about his experience of working on the show. He said, “Being in a popular travel destination, it was really fun. There were all kinds of people from all over the world, some of that I became friends with. A lot of them were there just for vacation. As everyone was there for vacation, they were open to trying new things, willing to meet new people and rated our food very positively. So I think I felt encouraged by all of that.”
The actor also talks about K-pop star and Korean boy group BTS’ member V who is the youngest of the lot, he said, “The four of us have already spent a lot of time together, but since V is new, when we gave him a task he would put his best foot forward. I got to see a new side of him. I’ve always thought he was really young, just a dongsaeng (like a younger brother). He exceeded my expectations. It was a sight to see.”
Jinny’s Kitchen will premiere on March 17.
