Jeong Ji-sun, a former "Black and White Chef," thanked Chef Yeo Kyung-rae.
At 8:10 p.m. today (4th), Channel A's "Best Talk Documentary – Table for Four" will air Jung Ji-seon, the first Chinese female star chef.
Jung Ji-sun, who recently became a hot topic when she was ranked in the Top 8 of "Black and White Cook," prepares a special table to thank her best friend, who helped her during her difficult times. Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, comedian Jung Joon-ha, and singer Byul, who were invited on this day, marveled at the 1,000 bottles of alcohol collected by Jung Ji-sun for seven years and filled the cabinet.
In particular, it is said that he was surprised to see the twelve-year-old jade wine worth 3.5 million won with Jeong Ji-seon and her husband's band carved. Jung Ji-sun serves a Chinese table, including the popular mara cream shrimp dim sum, and serves precious limited-edition liquor that produced only 3,000 bottles for her best friends.
Jeong recalls her first meeting with Master Yeo Kyung-rae, recalling her journey to study Chinese food in 2005. As a Korean, Yeo Kyung-rae said that she had noticed Jeong Ji-seon who came to mainland China to learn cooking, and that she predicted the future of Jeong Ji-seon, who will grow as the "first-in-class Chinese food."
Jeong Ji-sun said, "I returned from studying abroad for three years, but I didn't even accept my resume because there were few female chefs in the industry." However, he expressed his gratitude, saying, "I was able to get a job thanks to the recommendation of chef Yeo Kyung-rae."
Even after getting a job, Jeong Ji-sun confesses that she was discriminated against by the territorial tax because she was a woman. In the midst of anxiety over dismissal, he returned after a month despite a major injury in which his finger went into the cotton extraction machine and sewed 30 needles, and there were times when he hid his pregnancy. Yeo Kyung-rae adds that there was a time when she was not allowed to wear glasses because "if you wear glasses, your behavior is awkward."
In May, Jeong Ji-sun, who also told the sad story of miscarrying her second child after a decade, blames herself by recalling the situation at the time when she was so busy that she had to work again a day after the surgery.
"I couldn't grieve properly because my family was so heartbroken," he said, confessing what he had not been able to say. At that time, she expressed her gratitude, saying that the only person she could talk about was the star, and that she received great comfort at that time.
