tvN 'Fresh off the Sea season 3' lifts its glamorous veil with an initiation that even the queen sister Yum Jung-ah found embarrassing.
Today (30) at 8:40 p.m., tvN 'Fresh off the Sea season 3' (directed by Kim Se-hee) premieres, a reality variety show that captures seasonal meals prepared from directly shipped crops from across Korea and the explosive chemistry of the four siblings. This season raises expectations with the new additions of Kim Sunyoung, Kang Youseok and Roh Yoon-seo joining original leader Yum Jung-ah. As proof of its unprecedented buzz, pre-release video views have already surpassed 60 million, breaking the record for the highest views in a season.
In the first broadcast, the dependable eldest Yum Jung-ah, the exuberant bulldozer second sister Kim Sunyoung, the third brother Kang Youseok with his unexpectedly smooth charm, and the golden-handed youngest Roh Yoon-seo share an exciting first meeting. In particular, Kim Sunyoung, who proclaimed herself a "true fan" of the program, said, "As much as this program healed me, I will give it all back," expressing an exceptional ambition for ratings that warmed hearts.
But the warmth was short-lived. Upon arriving in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do, the four siblings became embroiled in an initiation they could never have imagined while they let their guard down. Kang Youseok and Roh Yoon-seo, who boarded a boat, suddenly found themselves far from land and faced an unexpected separation. Even veteran entertainer Yum Jung-ah was flustered, turning the scene into chaos, and members later voiced vivid complaints such as "this place is really brutal."
A major viewing point is the large sea squirt harvesting site, weighing about 1.2 tons, that overwhelms the eye from the first episode. Faced with a procession of a gigantic sea squirt tower emerging from the sea, the members could not stop saying, "Is this CGI?" The siblings' tearful first harvesting struggle on the waters of Tongyeong already piques curiosity.
Also not to be missed is the seasonal local table that will unfold with the return of "Chef Yum" Yum Jung-ah. Yum Jung-ah proves her class by effortlessly preparing a fresh sea squirt course and a special seokbakji recipe containing her own secret method. In particular, added to this is the youngest Roh Yoon-seo's exceptional plating sense, which prompted the remark, "Art school graduates are truly different," promising to completely captivate viewers' senses.<
