tvN real gangsta sitcom "Chagané" heads to Japan to uncover the secrets of top-grade wasabi.
Today (5th) at 8:40 p.m., episode 5 of "Chagané" will depict the Chagané organization's trip to Shizuoka, the holy land of wasabi, to expand their spicy-flavor business. Previously, the members, who held a street tasting event in Bangkok, Thailand, and devoted themselves to spicy-flavor research, this time embark on a full-scale business trip to unearth the secrets of the "green spicy flavor" wasabi.
The Chagané organization heads to a mountainside in Shizuoka. It is a place where live wasabi is cultivated in optimal conditions, and the members collect confidential information related to wasabi one by one and even operate an outdoor laboratory. In particular, they begin research on dishes using top-grade wasabi and are expected to showcase novel menu items.
Meanwhile, DinDin, who displayed an unusual sense of "culinary pride," takes the role of the first chef, setting the stage for an unpredictable confrontation. Boss Cha Seung-won, whose cooking skills have been proven, and second-in-command Choo Sung Hoon join in, creating an intense three-way battle. DinDin said, "If I fail, it could be the end," unable to hide his sense of burden, adding to the tension.
First, DinDin, who secured the wasabi and prepared a secret dish, is followed by Cha Seung-won, who captures attention with an oden soup that is half pepper, half fish cake, adding a spicy kick. In response, Choo Sung Hoon counters by discreetly unveiling a hidden Japanese sauce along with a dumpling dish. In particular, the dumpling dish is expected to ignite an invisible pride clash because Cha Seung-won once failed at it in Thailand. The question of who will win the three-way cooking contest heightens curiosity.
Meanwhile, having infiltrated deeply into the secret of wasabi's "green spicy flavor," the Chagané organization continues their journey to Tokyo in search of an even deeper spiciness. The elders' expressions of love for spicy food and the chemistry among the younger members are also key viewing points. Cha Seung-won, Choo Sung Hoon, Tomi, DinDin, and Danny Gu, the five-member team, take on Japan's sticker photo booths, famous for excessive facial beautification, adding more laughter. Viewers are eager to see what the five's surreal visuals will look like as "Chagané" embarks on a new journey to Tokyo.
