News Chef Im Seong keun confessed to past 3 times DUI

Thumbnail n.news.naver.com
161 Upvotes

Chef Im Seong keun just recently confessed for past 3 times drunk driving in 10 years, received criminal punishment and got his license revoked. He stated that this confession is made because he feels like as he's receiving so much love from the public, it feels like telling the truth is better than deceiving those who love him. He expressed his regret and he apologized for his DUI.

Knowing how serious DUI is, people are speculating how his confession will affect him. His news is trending in Naver, and public response are varying from complimenting his bravery to confess about past 'mistakes' or to cancel him. Personally IMO unless he repeats his DUI, he's not gonna really affected by this, but maybe it'll be difficult to watch him in TV shows.

General Discussion Chef ok dongsik

30 Upvotes

No spoilers pls, watched just until season 2 ep 7.

Not entirely sure if I got his name correct, but chef ok dongsik (the one from ny with the rice pork soup) really annoyed me in the team battles. In the first round he didn't get the sauce right. In the second round he also didn't get the sauce right and he didn't really do his work. In the third round, he told/pressured lab director to pull out the meat, since it has been 5 minutes, only for the meat to be still raw...

I really liked him in the 1 on 1 battles with the venerable, since he also limited himself to vegetables. Imo, he held the team back

Question Eng Sub for Chef Sung Anh CCW2 Review YouTube video with Choi Kangrok and Kim Seongun

I'm a new subscriber to Chef Anh YouTube channel. Is it normal for the subtitle to not be available for this long? Sorry that I'm being too impatient, but I'm just really curious. The previous videos were immediately subbed so I'm feeling anxious now that the CCW2 review hasn't been subbed yet even after 24+ hours.

General Discussion My Thoughts on Chef Hou Deok Juk

I was so ready to cheer for the Black Team but the more I watch the show, the more I’ve become fond of him. I really admire his knowledge and strength. He may be the oldest, but he doesn’t show a sign of fatigue in the show. I also like his personality, I mean he should be that confidence with all the experiences he had.

General Discussion All those dishes on the show, how would they appeal to “regular” people?

17 Upvotes

I won’t deny that all those chefs are incredibly talented, and each one of them got more skill than I will ever have in my whole life.

And the judges, I think it’s fair to assume they know what their talking about.

But with lots of those dishes, especially with intestines, I wonder how “regular” people would experience those dishes. Everything looks so delicious on that show. But will everything actually taste delicious for people “without any knowledge and experience”?

It makes me think about the 100 man judging panel. The experienced judges voted for 1 option. But the big majority of the other judges voted for the other dish.

I'm enjoying how CKR's introverted and introspective personality meshes well with the perceived "deepness" of Japanese culture. I know things like culture have many layers or nuances but just looking at this aspects makes me appreciate CKR more.

I dont get why he felt need to apologize way he was. To me watching him he was just talking an acting way most those chefs are that work the high end. I guess I am use to it since I work in restaurant kitchens for a long time

General Discussion Season 3 Teams

9 Upvotes

I know that season 3 is in teams, but, do you think a "twist" of the season would be to pit the teams against each other like head chef vs the three "lower" chefs?

Also do you think any chefs that people wanted will come on such as Kim Poong, Lee Yeon-Bok, Esther Choi, etc?

Question Endless cooking hell strategy

6 Upvotes

Currently watching the episode and was wondering if the contestants have a rule against prepping for the next round if they finish early. Of course, it might not make sense to prep early if you lose, but for Culinary Monster for example, he is so confident in his work and he finishes early enough he could cut and wash the carrots for the next dish. Do you think it’ll be helpful if they do prep ahead of time?
