Actor Kim Hee-ae, Cha Seung-won, Kim Seon-ho and others gather to bake bread together and offer healing.

Coupang Play has released the first teaser trailer for the new variety show "Bonjour Bakery," which will bring sweet warmth to a tranquil rural village this spring.

# "A plate of dessert more energizing than tonic" we serve happiness to the elderly

The "Bonjour Bakery," which will premiere at 4 p.m. on Fri., May 8, is a healing baking variety show set against the backdrop of the country's first "senior dessert cafe" that opened in a quiet rural village, where seniors who know the taste of life and the bakery family who know the taste of happiness share sweet comfort and warmth.

The teaser trailer released this time hints at a touching emotion by showing seniors breaking into childlike smiles at their first taste of French desserts. The unexpected "ID check" scene raises curiosity; this place is the country's first senior dessert cafe. The exotic sweetness unfolding within familiar rural scenery will complete Bonjour Bakery's unique healing point.

The activities of the "bakery family" who will give the seniors a special day also draw attention. Kim Hee-ae of the "hall team," who melts the seniors' hearts with gentle eye contact and considerate conversation, and Kim Seon-ho, who asks after people with his characteristic nucksal and naturally goes about the business, herald the arrival of the next-generation "national grandson," creating a warm atmosphere.

Chef team members Cha Seung-won and Lee Ki Taek, who are in charge of the kitchen, create dessert artworks using ingredients from our land, capturing attention. The ornate visuals completed with precise hands promise a new impression beyond familiar desserts, stimulating viewers' sight and taste simultaneously.

# "The seniors' simple happiness" captured by variety hit maker PD Park Geun-hyung x writer Kim Ran-ju

"Bonjour Bakery" attracted great attention from the production stage as a meeting of "variety hit makers." Park Geun-hyung, a PD who has delicately captured human sentiment in You Quiz on the Block and Spanish Inn, and writer Kim Ran-ju, who left significant footprints in Korean variety history with 2 Days & 1 Night, Infinite Challenge and Spanish Inn, have reunited to announce the birth of a new healing variety show.

Writer Kim Ran-ju said, "The企획 began from the memory of my father, who had come to the city, smiling brightly at the dessert he tasted for the first time in his life," adding, "Seeing him, who was delighted like a child at a dessert that cost only a few thousand won, made me realize that the happiness of seniors is more modest than we think."

PD Park Geun-hyung said the goal was "to give seniors a special experience through French desserts made with healthy ingredients from our land, and to share warm warmth as eaters become wholly happy." It is said that that sincerity seemed to have reached people, turning the place into a "neighborhood salon" frequented by everyone from 90-year-old seniors to four-generation families, breathing new life into the village.
