Lu Ching Lai did not hold back on criticism for his son.

On the 18th, the TV CHOSUN show 'Dad and I' (hereafter 'Dad and I') featured chef Lu Ching Lai and his son Ye Min, who serves as the deputy kitchen manager at his restaurant.

Park Eun-young, who was revealed to be Lu Ching Lai's favorite disciple, asked him, 'How is Ye Min as a chef?' and Lu Ching Lai said, 'He has talent. Ye Min needs to study many new things. Eun-young is doing well on her own, so I am not too worried. Maintain your success. It’s a good case. I think he has surpassed his teacher and is in awe.'

He added, 'Ye Min makes well, but there are countless people like that. Ordinary people can all do it.' The panelists seemed disappointed, thinking it was a comparison.

Ye Min opened up by saying, 'I dreamt of becoming a star chef before turning 30,' and upon hearing this, Lu Ching Lai remarked, 'It sounds like an old man talking. To become a star chef, there is a lot to do. You need to work hard and also maintain connections. Being with me, Eun-young had an environmentally favorable beginning. She utilized it well. Ye Min needs to study more.'

Ye Min revealed his inner feelings through an interview, stating, 'I often hear, “Doesn’t your father support you?” I thought I was the first priority. It’s disheartening when that isn’t the case. If the chef supported me, wouldn’t I be in a different position?'

Lu Ching Lai said, 'I did not show favoritism. I think it is wrong to give special treatment.' He remarked that he felt he was more concerned about being 'Lu Ching Lai's son.' Lu Ching Lai explained, 'Such remarks seem dependent. I had my boundaries from the start.'

Ye Min recalled a discouraging incident, saying, 'It takes decades to untangle what has been built up over 20 years. I don't even know how to solve it. I have severely cut my finger before. When I was young and got hurt, wouldn’t I show it to my mom and dad? I showed my hand to chef Lu Ching Lai while he was on the computer. He casually smiled and showed me his own wound, his 'glorious scar.' I was a bit taken aback.'

Ye Min shed tears while expressing, 'When my father drinks, he calls me his son. I guess he wanted to hear that I am his son.' Lu Ching Lai, who was watching, also wept.
