"Through 'Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant,' the son of the Hongtakjip, who had formed a relationship with Paik Jong-won, the CEO of Theborn Korea Inc., shared a good story about him and offered support."
On the 8th, Kwon Sang-hoon, the son of the Hongtakjip who appeared on SBS' Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant' (hereinafter 'Alley Restaurant'), posted a long message on his social account along with a photo taken with Paik Jong-won. The released photo showed Paik Jong-won standing side by side with Kwon Sang-hoon and his spouse. He exuded a warm atmosphere, smiling as he held Kwon Sang-hoon's child in his arms.
Kwon Sang-hoon appeared on the 2018 'Alley Restaurant' Hong-eun-dong Pobangteo Market episode and received a solution from Paik Jong-won. At the time, Kwon Sang-hoon had returned to Korea after working in China for three years and joined his mother at the Hongtakjip, but he was criticized for an unprofessional attitude. In response, Paik Jong-won promised, "More than the taste of the food, I will do whatever it takes so your mother does not shed tears," and pledged to 'reform' Kwon Sang-hoon.
At first, Kwon Sang-hoon refused the solution, but after much thought he agreed to participate in the filming. Paik Jong-won continued the solution, sharply rebuking him, and after several conflicts he showed changed behavior. He even wrote a memorandum promising, "If you become complacent within a year, you will compensate five times the cost incurred by the solution," vowing to reform, and after the broadcast, numerous follow-ups revealed a completely changed recent condition, surprising viewers.
Paik Jong-won also consistently kept in touch with Kwon Sang-hoon and last year showed deep affection by posting on YouTube a visit to the Hongtakjip under the pretext of a surprise inspection.
Meanwhile, Kwon Sang-hoon expressed gratitude toward Paik Jong-won, saying, "Since the 2018 SBS Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant Pobangteo Market episode, I have received great help from Paik Jong-won due to our deep connection. You have always taught me with a warm heart, sometimes strictly, sometimes kindly, and I am truly grateful."
He offered heartfelt encouragement, saying, "Every word Paik Jong-won told me has been a great strength in shaping who I am today, and they will be precious standards of the heart I will continue to recall as I live my life," and "Thank you sincerely for every moment you worked hard for us. I wish you always good health and only happy things ahead."
Meanwhile, Paik Jong-won returned to broadcasting by appearing on STUDIO X+U and MBC variety show 'Chef of the Antarctic,' first released on the 16th of last month. On the 16th he is scheduled for the release of Netflix's 'Culinary Class Wars: cooking class war season 2,' and he has also finished filming tvN's The Genius Paik 3.
