While Netflix entertainment show "Black and White Chef 2" continues to be a hot topic, there is noise such as the spread of rumors surrounding Ahn Sung-jae and controversy over preferential treatment.

"Black and White Cook 2" has recently been embroiled in a controversy over spoilers. In the previously released episode, the interview scene of the black spoon cooking monster was revealed. In the process, the name tag of the cooking monster was marked with his real name Lee Ha-sung, not his nickname.

During the first season of "Black and White Cook," Napoli Matpia, the winner, was revealed in his real name after advancing to the final. As a result, speculation has been raised that the cooking monster is a finalist.

Since then, in the 11th and 12th episodes, which were released on the 6th, the cooking monster beat Chef Son Jong-won to advance to the semi-final. In addition, it was pointed out that self-spoilers due to editing continued several times, halving the fun of survival entertainment.

In addition, rumors surrounding Ahn Sung-jae have been raised, leading to noise. Earlier, suspicions arose on SNS, including some online communities, such as chef Ahn Sung-jae giving generous reviews to Chinese chefs because he was "from overseas Chinese."

In addition, claims such as "An Sung-jae's accent is like a Chinese intonation," "It is a name made to praise Mao Zedong," and "It is the Chinese Communist Party" continued for "Massu" operated by Ahn Sung-jae.

Chef Ahn Sung-jae is a Korean-American who was born in Korea and immigrated to the United States as a child. However, as rumors and malicious comments surrounding him continued online, the production team of "Black and White Cook 2" responded hard.

The production team said on its YouTube channel on the 6th, "With the recent airing of the program, there are cases of personal attacks targeting specific chefs, malicious comments, and even sending slander messages to personal SNS accounts. This behavior not only seriously undermines the reputation of chefs who have devoted their lives to cooking, but also leaves a big wound that is difficult to heal for ordinary performers."

"We are trying to respond to the chefs who participated in the competition with their pure passion for cooking so that they are no longer harmed. Evidence is being collected continuously. "Strong legal action will be taken against confirmed malicious posts and message writers without leniency," he said.

However, despite this noise, "Black and White Chef 2" continues to be popular. It recorded 4.7 million viewers from the 22nd to the 28th of last month, and topped the global TOP10 TV show (non-English) category for two consecutive weeks. It boasted a high buzz, exceeding 10 million views accumulated within two weeks of its release.
