There is Edward Lee in 'Chef and the Hunter'. His presence makes a difference.

On the 8th, the production presentation of Channel A's new entertainment program "Chef and the Hunter" was held online. Producer Jang Woo-hyun, mixed martial arts player and broadcaster Choo Sung-hoon, comedian Lim Woo-il and actor Kyung Soo-jin attended the event. Chef Edward Lee and broadcaster Kim Dae-ho were absent due to personal schedule.

"Chef and Hunter" is a survival gourmet expedition of chefs and hunters wandering in extreme nature to find wild ingredients.

Producer Koo Jang-hyun said, "The planning period has been more than a year. The shooting took place for 15 days, and I have been changing it for more than three months for editing, he said. "I am confident that there will be very satisfactory content as we have thoroughly prepared it. Please pay a lot of attention," he said. "I think the first episode has already been modified tropical times. I think I'll be touching it until the end even before the broadcast is aired," he added.

In addition, PD Koo Jang-hyun said of "Chef and Hunter," "The core concept was to hunt and cook in the wild." He said, "I paid a lot of attention to the natural climate, legal conditions, and safety conditions on the set. There was a process of verifying in advance with local experts," he explained.

Producer Jang Woo-hyun said, "We focused on finding tribesmen who hunt and cook themselves. Even if it was legally permitted, it seemed that viewers would be unfamiliar with hunting and cooking. So, I tried to show the tribal people and learn and eat according to the flow. That's why I hope viewers will be comfortable with the flow," he said.

In "Chef and the Hunter," a special chef appears. That's Edward Lee.

However, he couldn't participate in the event due to his personal schedule, so he said hello through a video. In the video, Edward Lee said, "It's been a long time since we went hunting together. I'm sorry I couldn't be there today. I'm still recovering from our adventure in the U.S. right now."

"I've always wanted to try something new. I had never hunted or cooked in the wild. It was very hard in the wild. I couldn't sleep or eat and suffered a lot," he said.

Also, Edward Lee said, "I hope all viewers are inspired to cook with new ingredients like I did on the show," adding, "I'm very grateful." Enjoy "Chef and the Hunter," he said.

Choo Sung-hoon also shared his feelings about tasting Edward Lee's dishes himself.

He said, "I met my brother (Edward Lee) for the first time on this program. My brother and I are similar. I was born abroad and came to Korea, and people love me a lot, he said. "My identity was the most similar."

Choo Sung-hoon also mentioned Edward Lee's cooking skills. He said, "I wanted to see you cook. When I tried it, it was so delicious. I was surprised," he said.

"I met my brother in New York last week. I made a lot of dishes when I met him and said, "Chef and the Hunter." I wanted to eat it again, so I asked if I could make it again, and he said, "No." He said, "There should be ingredients at that time." "Even with the same ingredients, you can't make it." That's why I wanted to eat more."

"Chef's Hunter" features not only appetizing food but also pleasant laughter.

Lim Woo-il, the program's only comedian, predicted the members' pleasant performances. "At first, I felt pressured to give a smile," he said. I thought there must be a reason for casting me as a comedian. But I went (to the filming site) and they were all comedians," he said.

Lim Woo-il, who said, "Choo Sung-hoon is funny," also said about Chef Edward Lee as the general chef of the 2025 Gyeongju APEC dinner, "Edward Lee was an APEC head chef, and it was so funny to see him on the news. It was so funny to see him as an American comedian."

Lim Woo-il said, "At first, (you have to give him a laugh) I went with that pressure, but they were really fun even if I didn't try to be funny. So I put down that burden," he said.

Producer Koo Jang-hyun also revealed the charm of "chef and hunter." There are many existing wild programs, he said. If you look at the program, it deals with building houses, gathering, and cooking to survive in the wild and eating a meal for survival," he explained.

"We are simple. "I'm going to hunt and cook." You only take that simple concept. There's also Chef Edward Lee. The fancy dishes that come out of his hands aren't simply regarded as food for a meal, they're dug upIt transforms into an inning. That's the difference and the point to watch," he said.

Meanwhile, "Chef's Hunter" will premiere at 10 p.m. that day.
