MBC I Live Alone will reveal the "namul study abroad" journey of Little Tiger chef Kim Si-hyeon. Expectations are high about what food stories chef Kim Si-hyeon, who left for a place where spring arrives two weeks early, will share.
The episode of MBC I Live Alone (directed by Heo Hang, Kang Ji-hee, Kim Jin-gyeong, Mun Gi-young and Jeong Ji-woon) airing on the 3rd will show Little Tiger chef Kim Si-hyeon setting off on a "namul study abroad" to welcome spring.
Diligent Little Tiger chef Kim Si-hyeon set out earlier than anyone to welcome spring. He headed to Tongyeong to look for spring greens and fresh seafood. He said it was a place where "spring arrives two weeks early" and visited the Tongyeong traditional market before sunrise.
Chef Kim Si-hyeon said it was a place "where rural grandmothers come to pick namul themselves," and he was immersed in looking at the market's namul. He filled both hands not only with various namul but also with Tongyeong's fresh seafood, which is hard to find in Seoul.
The episode will also show chef Kim Si-hyeon enjoying a hearty breakfast of Tongyeong's representative dish, blowfish soup. He drew interest by sharing his personal blowfish soup tip, saying, "If you add 'this', the umami really comes alive."
Meanwhile, the show will also reveal chef Kim Si-hyeon meeting his culinary mentor in Tongyeong. Viewers are curious who the mentor, with whom he has maintained a seven-year relationship, might be and what led to him becoming a mentee, which will be revealed in the broadcast.
You can see Little Tiger chef Kim Si-hyeon, who left for Tongyeong for a "namul study abroad," on MBC I Live Alone airing that day at 11:10 p.m.
