tvN variety show 'Cha ga-ne' Choo Sung Hoon complained about Cha Seung-won, who has a different palate from him.
On the 22nd, the first episode of tvN variety show 'Cha ga-ne' introduced Cha Seung-won, Choo Sung Hoon and Tommy, who traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, to conquer the world with spiciness, and Danny Gu and DinDin, who came to support them.
Cha Seung-won quite liked the taste of Thailand's native sauce made from chili seeds and fish sauce. He used it to make kimchi and even wanted to cook doenjang stew. However, Choo Sung Hoon could not tolerate the fishy taste characteristic of Thai-style sauces from the first day he arrived in Thailand. He had a preferred heat level, so he set off on a separate expedition to find spiciness.
Choo Sung Hoon said, "Thank you for taking time on your day off," and visited a local Thai restaurant run by Koreans. He asked, "Isn't this a place that can accommodate about 30 people? How much does it do in a day?" and looked it over with eagle eyes as if marking it as a restaurant to run in the future. The owner replied, "Actually, these days Thailand's situation isn't good, so business isn't doing very well."
Choo Sung Hoon said, "Pineapple sauce has a color not found in Korea, and the taste is the same," and said clearly about what he wanted, "For the 2030 MZ, have fruit in it so there's sweetness, something sweet and spicy, like a dipping sauce." The owner said, "It should be fine. Thailand also has mango. If you want sweetness, we can make it sweet."
Choo Sung Hoon said, "This has a pineapple flavor but I want it spicier," and "Actually I want it this level of spiciness. I want it to be for dipping or sprinkling," making a precise order. The owner said, "We can't use marinated food. Pineapple can tenderize meat. Dipping should be fine," and adjusted more precisely, saying, "If you tell us the direction you want, we can match everything on the side. It's fully possible."
As they entered full-scale spicy taste development and adjusted the recipe to make a test product, the audio was filled with Choo Sung Hoon's complaints.
Choo Sung Hoon grumbled, "I've been doing this with Cha Seung-won for 15 years, but the flavors we pursue are different," and "Hyung is good too, but I want to do it my way," and "Expectations are getting bigger. I really hope it's delicious."
Returning after developing two spicy sauce recipes, Choo Sung Hoon told Cha Seung-won, who had newly boiled doenjang stew, "It's not spicy. It has flavor," which made Cha Seung-won sulk. Choo Sung Hoon again said, "I might be like that because I ate spicy sauce and came. It is spicy."
Cha Seung-won's popular work was, as expected, kimchi. The production team exclaimed, "It's nicely ripened," and "It tastes better," repeatedly. When a smile appeared on Cha Seung-won's face, Choo Sung Hoon reproached him, saying, "Kimchi is just something you pickle," which left Cha Seung-won speechless. In response to Choo Sung Hoon's remark, possibly born of a subtle competitive spirit, Cha Seung-won retorted, "Even making that I pooped blood, damn," which shut Choo Sung Hoon right up.
Meanwhile, Choo Sung Hoon succeeded in independently developing a spicy flavor and received the comment from DinDin, "It's a taste that can catch up with big companies. If you use Blackpink's Lisa as a model, it will succeed globally."
