'Anh Sung-jae YouTube' chef Anh Sung-jae mentioned the seriousness of the controversy over the Dubai jjondeuk cookie.
On the 14th, a video titled "In response to the roar of public outrage, Anh Sung-jae provides A/S for the Anh Sung-jae Duddak Gangdu*" was released on Anh Sung-jae's YouTube. In December, Anh Sung-jae made a video with his daughter and son making the trending Dubai jjondeuk cookie. The Dubai jjondeuk cookie is a dessert whose filling contains pistachio spread, kadaif and white chocolate, wrapped with melted marshmallow on the outside and finished with cocoa powder. In Korea, they boast a price around 7,000 won each, and some famous shops are so popular they are even called "Jang Won-young dujjongku" by fans.
However, in the previous video Anh Sung-jae did not make it the way Si-young wanted and made a strange pastry using kadaif. Internet users reacted vehemently to this, and that day Anh Sung-jae appeared with Si-young saying, "We are going to conduct our first recipe A/S. The star of the A/S, not an angry face, right? We're on good terms, right?"
Anh Sung-jae asked, "How was it after the YouTube went up?" Si-young replied composedly, "I thought it was better than I expected, but people are too much," and Anh Sung-jae asked, "I know it's not chewy. But was 'Dubai ddak-ddak gangjeong' a fitting name?" to which Si-young responded affirmatively with silence.
Anh Sung-jae said, "I didn't know dujjongku was like this. I hadn't tasted it. I didn't know it would get this much attention," and added, "A customer who came to Mosu asked, 'When are you going to make dujjongku,' and one customer brought a dujjongku asking Si-young to have it. So we had to do A/S," expressing surprise. For reference, the price per person at Mosu, a fine-dining restaurant where Anh Sung-jae is head chef, is about 400,000 won. Even customers who visit high-end restaurants were so concerned about Anh Sung-jae's daughter that the video was a hot topic.
That day Anh Sung-jae followed his daughter Si-young's words diligently. He said, "Since I didn't know what dujjongku was, from a father's perspective, marshmallows aren't something to eat a lot of, so I wanted to make a pastry Si-young hadn't tried," but Si-young remained steadfast. Anh Sung-jae said, "Today I'll adjust it the way Si-young wants."
Anh Sung-jae said, "Are you confident? I was confident when I made hard things too. As a chef, it's been a long time since I felt discouraged about making something," showing a humbled side. Si-young skillfully shaped the dujjongku, and the production team marveled, "Si-young looks like a professional."
After tasting it, Si-young was considerably satisfied. Anh Sung-jae asked, "Do you have anything you want to say to dad?" Si-young answered like a good daughter, "Everything you make for me is always delicious." Anh Sung-jae, saying, "She knows about the broadcast," was very happy and shouted, "I hope those who left comments are very satisfied. Controversy over!" with a relieved expression.
