Broadcaster Hwang Kwanghee recalled the difficult moments during filming.
On the 7th, the press conference for JTBC's entertainment program ‘Street Food Business’ was held at the Stanford Seoul Hotel in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Attendees included Ryu Soo-young, Fabri, Hwang Kwanghee, Shin Hyun-ji, Bae In-hyuk, CP Kim Min-seok, and PD Kim So-young. Cast member Jeon So-mi could not attend due to scheduling conflicts.
‘Street Food Business’ is a program that captures Ryu Soo-young and Fabri starting a street food business while traveling through the gourmet country of Spain on a bicycle. They challenge themselves to pioneer Korean cuisine in the southernmost part of Spain, where there are no Korean restaurants, using a mobile kitchen called ‘Food Bike’.
Hwang Kwanghee transforms into a street food assistant, taking care of everything from the kitchen to the customers.
Hwang Kwanghee said, “I have been assisting next to the chef for a long time. So, I often received offers for food-related programs. They would say things like, ‘You do well,’ and ‘We trust you,’ which made it feel burdensome.” He added jokingly, “I’m good at assisting, but not necessarily at cooking. I thought, let’s do well this time and also go abroad, so I decided to participate.”
Hwang Kwanghee shared, “The main writer and I have worked together for a long time (on shows like ‘Infinite Challenge’), but after three episodes, I found it so tough that I said, ‘How can this happen to me?’ Then they said, ‘We called you because it’s you. Please treat it like it’s the last time.’ I almost called the company, but I’m 38 years old, right? I have to get through this to become an adult,” and he humorously complained, “The directors were just quietly saying, ‘Just do it,’ which made me really annoyed.”
CP Kim said, “He kept saying he wanted to quit every day. He even wrote a diary in tears (on camera),” which made everyone laugh.
‘Street Food Business’ will premiere on the 8th at 10:40 PM.
