In the first appearance on "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant," Kim Kang-woo captivated viewers right from the start.
On the 15th, NEW chef Kim Kang-woo debuted on KBS 2TV's "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant" (hereinafter referred to as "Fun-Staurant"). The cooking life of Kim Kang-woo, a 23-year veteran actor loved for his intense charisma and acting skills, was nothing short of a twist. A devoted husband, a playful dad, and the ultimate self-care champion—his charm kept viewers hooked on "Fun-Staurant."
As proof, that day's broadcast recorded a nationwide viewership rating of 3.4% according to Nielsen Korea. Despite starting later than usual at 10 p.m. due to the special broadcast for the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day and competing against news and major dramas, this indicates that it successfully captured the existing viewers. The peak viewership rating soared to 4.3%. Of course, the star of the "best one minute" was also NEW chef Kim Kang-woo.
On that day, Kim Kang-woo showcased his youthful looks at the remarkable age of 47, a fit physique without flab, and revealed the secret to his luscious hair: the "10 Year Deletion Juice" recipe. He particularly amazed everyone by revealing that he has maintained the same weight for 28 years since high school. Notably, the "10 Year Deletion Juice" is something Kim Kang-woo makes every morning and shares with his wife.
Kim Kang-woo's love for his wife continued. Now in his 15th year of marriage, Kim Kang-woo named his wife as his closest friend. He also shared the story of how he paused his acting career for one year to fully devote himself to parenting after the birth of their first child, and revealed a parenting diary he has been writing for 15 years instead of his wife. In addition, he made love-filled statements, saying, "I don't ask my wife to prepare meals," and, "Housework isn't something I help with, it's something we do together."
Kim Kang-woo's cooking skills were also impressive. As Chef Lee Yeon-bok had noted while observing for a long time, Kim Kang-woo showcased his skillful chopping with a heavy Chinese knife, and aptly used the Chinese sauce Doubanjiang to create an array of delicious healthy dishes. The flavor-packed apple pork dish also amazed everyone. Consequently, Kim Kang-woo earned the nickname "the romantic chef" in his very first appearance on "Fun-Staurant," with that day's broadcast recording the highest minute viewership rating of 4.3%.
From the very first appearance, NEW chef Kim Kang-woo captivated not only the production staff and cast of "Fun-Staurant" but also the viewers. His endeavors will continue weekly every Friday at 8:30 p.m. on "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant."
