New Korean TV Sensation on KBS 2TV Captures Viewers with Irresistible Charm

KBS 2TV’s latest variety series is stealing hearts and palates alike. After premiering on May 16, 가는정 오는정 이민정 quickly raced into the Top 10 of Netflix Korea, thanks to its refreshing cast chemistry, heartfelt community focus, and down-to-earth charm led by its star.

In the upcoming May 23 episode, viewers will get a taste of something new—literally. A long-speculated highlight finally hits the screen as the leading star steps into the kitchen to showcase her real cooking skills. Following a successful sales pitch involving luxury cars, the five-member cast—including Boom—gathers for a communal dinner powered by ingredients gifted by local residents.

The dinner spotlight? A crispy fried delicacy made from anchovies, prepared with an impressive knife-handling performance that drew cheers and hungry looks from her castmates. Infused with casual joy and culinary finesse, her cooking session was filled with laughter, audible crunches, and reactions like, “This tastes just like something from an Izakaya.” One castmate even broke into dance, swept away by the deliciousness.

Despite claiming it was her first time trying the dish, the star moved effortlessly through the rest of the evening’s menu, earning applause for perfect seasoning done entirely by instinct.

The episode builds to a heartwarming challenge as the group takes on a ‘village feast’—a 100-portion cook-off prepared for local residents. Whether they can overcome obstacles like storm warnings to meet the challenge remains to be seen—but one thing is clear: authenticity, warmth, and heartfelt teamwork are at the heart of this Korean TV gem.
