• Interview with Chef Lee Jun, who appeared in Netflix's 'Black and White Chef: The War of the Cooking Classes' Season 2

"It's a good thing to lose to your teacher."

Chef Lee Joon, who appeared on Netflix's cooking competition program "Black and White Cook: The War of the Cooking Class Season 2" (hereinafter referred to as "Black and White Cook 2"), celebrated his student's growth even in the moment of defeat and showed his teacher-like dignity. She is already a chef of 'Michelin 2 Stars', but she did not settle down and challenged the survival program.

On the 15th, Star News conducted a telephone interview with Chef Lee Joon. Regarding the reason for his appearance in "Black and White Chef 2," he said, "In fact, there was an offer to appear in Season 1, but I refused."

He is considered a pioneer of fine dining in Korea, and 'Black and White Chef 1' is a hitIt also had a good impact on Innings and F&B, he said, "I thought it would be okay in that atmosphere, and it was an inflection point last year when our company went one step further. So I personally wanted a new stimulus, so I decided to appear," he said.

Even before the release of 'Black and White Chef 2', the production team put Chef Lee Joon at the forefront of the press release. Chef Lee Jun said, "There was no pressure to appear on the survival program. In fact, this life is a survival," he said with a smile, adding, "In the end, even if I went there and did well, it felt like it was my real thing."

"But I tried not to think deeply about that burden," he said. "If you pay attention, you shouldn't have appeared in the first place. Lee Sang, who decided to appear, tried to shake off that burden, and because he was a practitioner, he said, "I had concerns about cooking in an unfamiliar kitchen environment."

Recalling the first time he entered the set of "Black and White Chef 2," he said, "It was very interesting. "It's similar to what I felt when I opened the store, but I thought I couldn't bite it and I only had a way forward," he said.

He was eliminated in the second round of "Black and White Cook 2" after being unfortunately defeated by his student, the black spoon "Clipping Genius" in a one-on-one black-and-white match. As he said, "It's good to lose to your disciples," the relaxation to accept the results calmly and the sincerity to rejoice in your disciples' growth left a deep lingering impression.

"At the time, I didn't have time to think about anything, and I looked back on the broadcast (my cooking). I only heard the results, so I watched the show and thought about what was wrong with the cooking and for what reason I failed," he said.

He continued, "I didn't know that I said that until I watched the broadcast. I think they edited it well," he said with a smile. "Chef (Kim) Hee-eun was very anxious about the confrontation with her student, 'Baby Beast'. He said, "I came up with words in that situation," adding, "I actually have the same idea. Losing to a disciple is not a bad thing. He added, "Teachers teach students in hopes of doing well, and if they are better than me, it is rather a good thing."
