On the 31st broadcast of MBC entertainment Omniscient Interfering View (hereinafter "Omniscient Interfering View"), You Yong-wook, who gained attention after appearing on Culinary Class Wars 2, appeared as a guest and shared his recent news.
That day You Yong-wook revealed his busy daily life and also mentioned his past work life. He said, "I worked at a large food company called JeilXdang for about eight and a half years. I was a Director. The salary made me afraid to quit. Because I had children," and shared the realistic worries he had at the time.
He calmly recounted the process of deciding to resign. You Yong-wook said, "I really thought about it a lot. I kept cooking as a hobby. Every weekend I grilled barbecue for people around me, and one day it naturally became known through social media," he said. He added, "Kakao chairman Kim Beom-su tasted it and contacted me saying he wanted to try it, and other chairmen also said they had the life-changing barbecue," recalling the moment that became a turning point in his life.
He especially added, "As a salaried worker, company chairmen are very high-ranking people, and the fact that such a person recognized me felt like recognition I didn't even receive at the company," explaining why he chose challenge over stability.
You Yong-wook's story of leaving behind a stable career to choose a new path left viewers with realistic sympathy and a deep impression.
