"Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant" Kim Jaejoong's mother's 100 million-won table is revealed.
The KBS 2TV Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant (hereafter "Fun-Staurant"), which airs on the 19th, will be held as a "mother's hand special" prepared for the upcoming national holiday Chuseok. For this, the nation's dutiful son and culinary prodigy Kim Jaejoong and the eternal mariner Park Tae-hwan cook with their mothers, who are famed culinary artisans. Among them, Kim Jaejoong's mother, together with her son, reveals the 100 million-won table that captivated the tastes of Gongju citizens and fed nine siblings.
In the VCR shown that day, Kim Jaejoong talked about the past with his parents at his family home. That day, Kim Jaejoong's parents revealed a shocking story about the family that even Kim Jaejoong did not know. When Kim Jaejoong was very young, his father incurred a large debt of more than 100 million won due to a business failure. As the large family's livelihood became desperate under the mountain of debt, Kim Jaejoong's mother took responsibility for supporting the family of nine siblings. Hearing the story for the first time, Kim Jaejoong was moved and said, "Mom, you're amazing."
It was later revealed that after years of hardship, Kim Jaejoong's mother, relying on her cooking skills, started running a restaurant herself and paid off the entire 100 million-won debt in about a year, which astonished viewers. One hundred million won at that time was an enormous sum compared with now. Her exceptional cooking, selling dishes like jokbal, sujebi and barley rice, spread by word of mouth and captivated Gongju's civil servants, and unexpected good fortune followed, generating enormous sales.
The Fun-Staurant cast could not stop talking about the astonishing story in which customers flocked to the restaurant as if heaven had helped. Lee Yeon-bok marveled, saying, "It's a rags-to-riches story," while Kim Jaejoong recalled that when he was in elementary school his mother's restaurant did so well that he helped deliver food, and he said, "I was embarrassed…" expressing regret and moved emotion about that time.
Moved, Kim Jaejoong asked his mother for the first time in a long while to let him eat the food she used to make at her restaurant. After watching Kim Jaejoong's mother's 100 million-won table recipes, the Fun-Staurant cast exclaimed, "I think she could run a restaurant now and do well" and "I really want to try it," according to reports.
