On Thursday the 30th at 8 p.m., T-cast E Channel's Set For You will premiere, where the four food experts Lee Jun x Yoon Nam-no x Geon-hee x Maep-hani receive requests from restaurant owners with various concerns and embark on their first mission to discover the "perfect combinations on the menu." Expectations and curiosity are rising over who will be the protagonist to seize the real silver spoon and promotion opportunity offered as benefits, along with the blissful binge eating and the fresh flavor combinations they discover.
The first workday scene of the four people cast as members of the "set planning TF team" grabs attention as four people with four distinct colors reveal their different personalities. First, Lee Jun, who transformed into a team leader with maximum authoritarian vibes, and Yoon Nam-no, an 18-year veteran of the food industry dubbed the "local expert," heighten the viewing pleasure with their bickering chemistry. The two, who are real-life close friends, burst into laughter upon meeting, and when Yoon Nam-no asked, "Where is the pantry?" Lee Jun retorted, "You have no manners," prompting roars of laughter. Oneus's Geon-hee, the creator of the popular sauce "Geon-hee sauce" of a famous hot pot franchise who conquered the continent, appears as an ambitious character aiming for a "namesake buff," saying, "My name is Lee Geon-hee. I want to be someone worthy of my name." Maep-hani, a mukbang creator specializing in spicy food, is set to steal the spotlight with unpredictable MZ energy and an appetite that exceeds expectations.
In the first episode, they will visit three restaurants in total: a pho specialty shop located in Seoul's top commercial district, known as a mecca for couples; a Korean restaurant situated in the mecca of office worker dinners; and a teppanyaki and highball specialty restaurant located in a residential area. After tasting the full menus of these restaurants, the four must each assemble their best "set menu" and earn the owner's selection. Meanwhile, after tasting one restaurant's menu, Yoon Nam-no exclaimed with a somewhat extreme reaction, "This place is openly a great restaurant. Stop filming. Why even do this?" expressing admiration. Lee Jun also expressed satisfaction with the dishes, saying, "It's the first time in months I've eaten so lavishly." Who will be the "best set maker" to satisfy the restaurant owners can be confirmed by watching Set For You.
Meanwhile, setting the set menu competition aside, the four deepen their strong teamwork by sharing their hardships. Yoon Nam-no confessed the difficult times of running a restaurant at a young age, saying, "A drunk customer sprinkled money on my face like in the movies. I thought it was too dirty to continue." Geon-hee conveyed sincerity toward fans, saying, "If I collapse, the fans who like me will be made a joke. I endured for that reason." Hearing their stories, Lee Jun empathized strongly, saying, "That's why I made it this far," and offered warm encouragement, saying, "I don't think I had those thoughts at that age; your mentality is healthy."
