Actor Kim Kang-woo is becoming a loving husband.

In the KBS2 show ‘New Menu Launch Restaurant’ (hereafter ‘Restaurant’), which airs on the 15th, new chef Kim Kang-woo makes his first appearance.

Through ‘Restaurant’, Kim Kang-woo will showcase his cooking skills that transcend Korean, Western, and Chinese cuisines, as well as his daily life as a father of two teenage sons, and his unique management secrets for maintaining his youthful appearance. Additionally, viewers will witness Kim Kang-woo's love for his wife, which has earned him the title of the ultimate national husband.

In the VCR released that day, Kim Kang-woo, unlike his usual strong villainous image in works, could not hide his nervousness in his first observational variety show. He amusingly counted the number of cameras and asked the production team, who were already filming, “When does it start?” This brought laughter. The ‘Restaurant’ production team, as well as the cast who watched the VCR, were instantly captivated by Kim Kang-woo's surprising charm.

Among them, Kim Kang-woo's extraordinary love for his wife surprised everyone. He revealed that for over ten years, he has made healthy juices with his wife every morning. Moreover, on days he is home, he personally sets the dining table for his wife and their two growing sons.

Kim Kang-woo stated, “I never ask my wife to prepare meals. My wife didn’t marry to cook for her husband, did she?” This statement received applause in the ‘Restaurant’ studio. When the production team inquired if he helps with other household chores besides cooking, he clarified, “Household chores are not something I help with; we do them together,” expressing his sweet yet firm thoughts.

That day, Kim Kang-woo surprised everyone by showing a completely different side of himself, full of charm, while on a call with his wife, who is the same age. He couldn’t hide the smile that crept up on his face just from hearing her voice. In response, the ‘Restaurant’ family, including Lee Jung-hyun, exclaimed, “He is the best husband.” MC Boom also remarked, “He is the new Choi Soo-jong,” and “A national husband has been born.”

In particular, everyone was astonished when a significant decision Kim Kang-woo made for his wife during childbirth was revealed.

Kim Kang-woo's story can be seen on ‘New Menu Launch Restaurant’, which will air at 9:50 PM, later than usual, after the special broadcast for the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day on August 15th.
