Chef Choi Kang-rok won 'Black and White Cook 2'.
In the final round of the Netflix entertainment show "Black and White Cook Season 2," which was released on the 13th, Choi Kang-rok, the white spoon, won the final title.
Choi Kang-rok and the black spoon cooking monster (real name Lee Ha-sung), who were the last two on the day, competed on the theme of "Cooking for Me." The cooking monster introduced sundae soup, and Choi Kang-rok introduced soup dishes with sesame tofu.
The judges unanimously won the championship, which went to Choi Kang-rok. Choi Kang-rok overcame the bitterness of being eliminated in season 1 and succeeded in trying again in season 2 to win the final title. In addition, he won 300 million won in prize money by ranking first.
He said, "I think if this mission theme wasn't cooking for me, the cooking monster would have come out with more wonderful food. I'm not a person who does exceptional food, but I'm a person who does the same job as chefs who hide and work hard all over the country and people who make food," he said.

"I will put what you said in my heart, and I will live harder thinking about food while cherishing the relationships I met here. Thank you."
He also said, "This is a survival format made by dividing it into black and white, but I quickly came to think about the meaning of winning the championship. There are many masters who cook, some who start, and some who work very hard. There are foods that each person is good at. I want to end this story by talking about the people who eat, not about me," he added.
However, as the controversial spoilers unfolded, some viewers responded, "It was all over the place." Earlier, a netizen said, "Choi Kang-rok won the championship according to an industry person," adding, "The runner-up is a chef who was active in the U.S. that did not appear in season 1."
This spoiler was confirmed when the interview scene of the black spoon cooking monster was released in the later episode. In the interview scene, 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, it was argued that the cooking monster became a finalist. Critics pointed out that the fun of survival has halved as the spoilers go.
