KBS 2TV’s ‘Ganeojeong Oneojeong Lee Min-jung’ Showcases Culinary Crisis and Community Spirit

On May 23, 2025, the KBS 2TV reality show Ganeojeong Oneojeong Lee Min-jung (also known as Gaojeong) brings a gripping episode showcasing actress Lee Min-jung’s intense challenge of preparing large-scale meals under extreme conditions.

Following its May 16 premiere, the show has captivated Korean audiences with its heartwarming mission—spotlighting the food accessibility issues in isolated rural villages. In the upcoming episode, the sibling duo Jeongnammae organizes a village festival in Hyojado Island, with Lee Min-jung leading the event as head chef tasked with cooking for 100 people.

However, the team quickly finds itself battling a series of crises. From sourcing ingredients to struggling with harsh wind conditions, the episode turns into a real-time survival cooking drama. With boats unable to dock due to strong winds, the crew is nearly stranded on the island, and guest turnout remains alarmingly low.

In a moment of comic relief amidst the chaos, Lee Min-jung grabs the microphone and leads an impromptu dance performance, lifting the spirits of villagers and co-stars alike. Her ability to blend humor, leadership, and culinary skill adds another layer of charm to the show.

Catch all the action and drama when the episode airs Friday, May 23 at 10 p.m. on KBS 2TV.
