'Witch with a Wok' chef Lee Moon-jung confessed she worked while hiding her pregnancy.
On the 27th at 9:30 p.m., KBS2's Malja Show will air with guests Jung Ho-young and chef Lee Moon-jung. The two will share various stories, from their charms as
First, Jung Ho-young introduces himself as a 'dancing machine' and proudly says "I was here before chefs Jung Ji-seon, Kwon Seong-jun and Choi Kang-rok became famous." He then jokes playfully, saying, "If you don't know me, you shouldn't step into the 'star chef' world," drawing laughter.
Jung Ho-young said, "I'm getting attention not only for my cooking skills but also for my dancing," and added, "You can't just cook to make a living." He spontaneously went on stage to take on ATEEZ's 'BAD' challenge. Interest is focused on whether Jung Ho-young perfectly pulled off Choi San's impassive expression and restrained hand movements.
Lee Moon-jung said she feels her popularity but is not entirely happy, expressing candid feelings. She confessed, "Like the saying 'a flower that blooms early withers early,' I suddenly gained popularity from the halo effect of Culinary Class Wars, and I'm worried the attention might disappear overnight." The question is what comfort 'Malja halmae' Kim Young Hee offered for Lee Moon-jung's private worries.
The two chefs laugh and cry with audience members over their various concerns, acting as 'empathy fairies.' In particular, Lee Moon-jung will recall the time she hid her pregnancy and tried to keep working until the end while advising a housewife who dreams of being a 'working mom' with warm counsel.
Also, Jung Ho-young earnestly responded as a senior chef to a second-year high school audience member who said, "I want to become a 'star chef'." However, his final remark reportedly filled the studio with laughter. Jung Ho-young's unexpected piece of advice that had everyone cracking up can be seen in the full broadcast.
In the past, chef Jung Ji-seon also revealed she worked until the day before giving birth. On KBS2's Problem Child in House, she said she hid her pregnancy to survive in the conservative Chinese cuisine world where female chefs were rare. She hid the pregnancy out of anxiety over career interruption and said she revealed it after finishing a major competition.
