A popular restaurant is born in just 3 days of business on 'Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables'.

The final episode of ENA's entertainment program 'Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables' will air on the 22nd at 8:30 PM. Among the 20 challengers who fought desperately for 100 days to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, only 3 remain. It will be interesting to see who among the TOP3 (09 Choi Jeong-hyun, 14 Son Woo-sung, 16 Joo Hyun-wook) will claim the ultimate victory.

On this day’s broadcast, the TOP3's determination will be revealed ahead of the final mission. First, the least experienced 08 Choi Jeong-hyun (Revenge is Mine) states, "I applied for 'Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables' because I want my parents to recognize me and regret it," and adds, "This is a moment that can change my life. I will succeed and take revenge, no matter what."

The eldest of the TOP3, 14 Son Woo-sung (Failed head of a family with 500 million debt), expresses, "I feel sorry for my family because I have never been able to provide them with financial comfort," and says, "I think this is my last chance to challenge myself. I will do my best as if I am holding onto a straw." All-time ace 16 Joo Hyun-wook (Father with 400 million multi-level marketing debt) shares, "I was an athlete in school, but I grabbed a wok because I was struggling to make a living," and adds, "Although it was for survival, I find that work very enjoyable and fulfilling," showing strong determination and confidence.

The three finalists will open a food stall in front of Gwanghanru in Namwon. Previously, they operated in a food booth with multiple stores catering to many guests at a festival in Andong. In contrast, the final round will feature only the three stores of the TOP3 at Gwanghanru. They will conduct real business for 3 days in the most realistic market, and the final winner will be determined based on the net profit from those 3 days. They will face a grueling mission that requires them to consider menu selection, turnover rate, inventory management, and profit margins.

With victory in sight, the TOP3 will throw themselves into the business with all their might. During this process, one challenger will complain of severe pain. Eventually, this challenger will even seek painkillers. "I took 3 painkillers and endured it. I gritted my teeth and did it," they say. Who will be the challenger facing the worst crisis in the final round? Will they be able to overcome the crisis?

In this continuous crisis of 3 days of business, the TOP3 also shows remarkable growth that makes their 100 days of effort worthwhile. They create a spectacle where many customers line up around the store in just 3 days. Who is the protagonist that has created a restaurant that attracts a line in just 3 days through word of mouth?

Will they claim the ultimate victory? The desperate and intense final episode of ENA's 'Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables' will air on February 22 at 8:30 PM.
