On Tuesday the 24th at 10:40 p.m., SBS's Dongsaingmong Season 2 – You Are My Destiny (hereafter Dongsaingmong2) will for the first time broadcast scenes from the "festival of stars," the 2026 Michelin Guide Korea awards ceremony.
That night an unprecedentedly tense atmosphere hovered around the couple Kim Hee-eun and Yoon Dae-hyun. The reason was that an invitation email to the '2026 Michelin Guide Korea' awards ceremony had arrived. A close chef, family, friends and even staff working with them were not told about the invitation, and they forced themselves to hide even the corners of their mouths that might rise in order to keep the matter confidential until the day.
In the studio, people cheered and congratulated them, saying, "Being invited to Michelin means keeping one star, right?" and "They could be promoted to two stars." After that, the two carried out a confidentiality operation throughout the restaurant opening preparations that would not have been out of place in a 007 film. Interest is focused on whether the couple Kim Hee-eun and Yoon Dae-hyun's "Michelin invitation confidentiality operation," which would make even the National Intelligence Service (NIS) cry, can succeed safely.
The Michelin awards site that was later revealed truly resembled a "festival of stars," with renowned chefs all gathered. From judge Chef Anh Sung-jae, who terrified the chef corps with his cold palate on Culinary Class Wars, to the singularly beloved "twin-star chef" Son Jong-won who struck Korea's female fans, and to Chef Kang Min-gu, the country's only three-star chef, they appeared and drew the studio's attention. Moreover, to mark the 10th anniversary of the Michelin Guide Korea, the studio responded, "This is the first time we've seen the Michelin awards on television" and "The energy is different," impressed by the unprecedented scale. The tense moment of announcing the 2026 stars will be revealed for the first time through Dongsaingmong2.
Meanwhile, that day Chef Kim Hee-eun surprised everyone by revealing a heartbreaking family history, saying, "I met my birth mother for the first time at 18." She, who said she had no mother from the moment she was born because her parents divorced when she was young, confessed honestly, "I always wondered what the feeling toward a mother would be." It is said that when the first words Chef Kim Hee-eun spoke to the mother she met for the first time in 18 years were revealed, the studio was left in tears.
The reversal of star chef Kim Hee-eun's childhood and the "splendid gastronomic festival scene" at the Michelin Guide Korea awards ceremony will be revealed for the first time on SBS's Dongsaingmong2, airing Tuesday the 24th at 10:40 p.m.<
