Yeomin, the son of 'Chinese cuisine master' Chef Yeogyeongrae, cries out in disappointment over his father's harshness that is only directed at him.
In the episode of TV Chosun's 'Dad and Me' airing on the 18th at 10 PM, Chef Yeogyeongrae and his son Yeomin, who serves as the deputy kitchen manager at his restaurant, will appear to reveal the real daily life of the chef and his son. Yeogyeongrae, known as the 'Father of Chinese Cuisine', is also a respected mentor to many star chefs, including 'Dumpling Queen' Jeong Jiseon, 'Goddess of Chinese Cuisine' Park Eunyoung, and 'Iron Bag Chef' Lim Taehun.
In this episode of 'Dad and Me', Yeogyeongrae's protégé Park Eunyoung visits his restaurant. The two have previously expressed their close mentor-mentee relationship in various interviews and broadcasts, referring to each other as 'daughter-like disciple' and 'father-like figure'. When Park Eunyoung arrives, Yeogyeongrae greets her with a big smile, showing a completely different demeanor compared to the coldness he displays in front of his son. He actively participates in advising Park Eunyoung on her cooking, showcasing his affection. In response, Yeomin bitterly remarks, "I felt jealous. He has never talked to me with a smile."
Yeogyeongrae praises Park Eunyoung, who has gained fame as the 'Black and White Chef', saying, "I think she has surpassed us. I am in awe." He then shocks everyone by saying, "When you are doing well, take care of him (Yeomin) too." Yeomin's disappointment over the comparison to his father erupts, and Jeon Hyunmoo, representing the 'sons', empathizes deeply with him, stating, "Comparisons are the worst," giving Yeogyeongrae a stern warning.
Meanwhile, Yeomin shares a story he has never told his father during an interview, turning the studio into a sea of tears. Hearing his son's true feelings for the first time, Yeogyeongrae also ends up shedding tears. The touching story of the Yeogyeongrae father and son that moved everyone to tears can be seen on TV Chosun's 'Dad and Me' on the 18th at 10 PM.
