JTBC variety program Please Take Care of My Refrigerator will welcome chefs Kwon Seong-jun and Yoon Nam-no as guests for its Chuseok holiday special. Scheduled to air on Sunday, September 20, at 8:50 p.m., the episode will feature a team competition centered on ingredients from the two chefs’ refrigerators.

The “twin” chefs pledge to shave their heads if ratings reach 3.8%

According to the description accompanying the released preview video, Kwon Seong-jun and Yoon Nam-no are the guests for the upcoming broadcast. The description refers to the pair by the coined name “Ssangttungi” and says they have made a pledge to shave their heads if the episode achieves a 3.8% audience rating.

The preview also shows the cast staging a collective protest as the high-profile guests appear and are immediately met with a barrage of criticism. Through these scenes, the video description highlights the chefs’ determination to pursue the program’s highest audience rating.

Kwon Seong-jun’s Italian concept meets Yoon Nam-no’s everyday refrigerator

The contents of the guests’ refrigerators will provide the essential ingredients for the cooking challenges in this episode. Kwon Seong-jun appears to have prepared an Italian concept using carabinero prawns and scampi, giving the competition a distinct direction from the outset.

Yoon Nam-no’s refrigerator, by contrast, contains more everyday items, including bite-size hot dogs and partially eaten mango shaved ice. The contrast between the two refrigerators is set to shape the dishes that the competing chefs must create.

The episode will also show Yoon Nam-no eating heartily for the holiday. His food combinations and refrigerator ingredients will be revealed alongside his nickname, “Meokgyosu.”

The process of unveiling Yoon Nam-no’s refrigerator produces another moment of resistance from the cast, with the program’s hosts even declaring a boycott. The situation adds to the reactions surrounding the practical and partially eaten ingredients found inside.

Kim Poong and Sam Kim face Park Eun-young and Son Jong-won in a two-on-two battle

The cooking competition will proceed with two teams of two. Kim Poong and Sam Kim will join forces on one side, while Park Eun-young and Son Jong-won will compete against them.

During the contest, chef Jung Ho-young will be seen making a dish solely for Kwon Seong-jun. The preview description also explicitly states that chef Choi Hyun-seok will be shown “making Kwon Seong-jun,” presenting the phrase without further explanation.

The competition itself is organized as a two-on-two team battle for Yoon Nam-no. The preview promises the highest level of guest satisfaction as the teams use the available refrigerator ingredients to produce their dishes.

Attention now turns to which dish will earn the pick of Yoon Nam-no, who is billed as the program’s “Naengbu Meokjjang.” His final selection will determine which creation stands out in the holiday team showdown.
