A black and white chef, a cooking survival program that recently became popular worldwide through Netflix.
As much as the popularity of the program, the interest in the cast is high.
I met chef Jung Ji-sun, who attended the final eight-person competition, and listened to Jung's cooking philosophy and survival process.
Reporter Jung Yoo-jin reports.

Jung Ji-sun, a Chinese chef who became popular by appearing in a black-and-white chef.
In particular, the scene of making Chinese-style matang batsu using dried radish leaves, a traditional ingredient, became a hot topic.
[Jung Ji-sun / Chinese food chef: In the case of Chef Ahn Sung-jae, he said I was a crazy person when I made the bath with dried radish leaves. That's a compliment. I was very touched that it felt new.]
Chef Jeong Ji-sun, who has been cooking kimchi pancakes for her friends since elementary school.
I was interested in Chinese food, so I showed passion since I was a student, but after experiencing our country's closed kitchen structure, I chose to study in China.
[Jung Ji-sun / Chinese food chef: He went into the room and made the recipe. You don't have to teach them that much. You can taste it. That was a very fresh shock to me.]
I finished my studies through the language barrier, but a new ordeal was waiting for me.
There was no place to accept female chefs in the Chinese kitchen, which even men can't endure.
[Jung Ji-sun/Chef Jung-sik: It was very difficult to get a job because they didn't accept all of my resumes. I might go with confidence that I learned a lot like this, but I didn't even look at the gender right away.]
However, his strong personality showed his potential.
I searched the trash can to see the food left by the customer, and I practiced repeatedly enough to measure the liver by smell to cope with shrimp allergies.
[Jung Ji-sun / Chinese food chef: When you smell it, you can taste the salty and sweet flavor. If you lose balance when you smell it, you'll find it bland or lacking sweetness.]
Chef Jung Ji-sun emphasizes that this is the biggest virtue if you start doing what you like, even though you are criticized for being a so-called kkondae.
[Jung Ji-sun / Chinese food chef: My friends with dreams come and ask me all the time. (Overstated) Even if you're a little tired and bothered, I just hang in there and say, "I've been holding out until now, and I've come this far."]
Chef Jung Ji-sun, who is shaping her world with cooking, will tell the story of Kim Sung-kyung's Namsan Drive at 11:10 p.m. today (1st).
