Chef Yoo Yong-wook revealed why he left his previous job.
On the MBC entertainment program "Omniscient Interfere Point of View," which aired on the 31st, baseball players Hwang Jae-kyun and Chef Yoo Yong-wook appeared as guests.
On this day, Chef Yoo Yong-wook said, "I was at a large Korean food company called Cheil Jedang. He worked for about eight and a half years and even served as a manager. My salary was quite long, he said. "It was a little scary to give up. I was worried a lot because there were children," he said.
He continued, "I kept cooking as a hobby. Then, it went viral through SNS. Chairman Kim Bum-soo of Kakao contacted me that he wanted to taste it. For me, it was a life event. The other president also said, "I ate my life barbecue." He said, "I feel like I haven't been recognized by the company that you've acknowledged it."
It was also revealed why Yoo was called a warden, not a chef. Director Kim Sang-yeol, who works with him, said, "He's embarrassed. He explained, "I was a former office worker at a large company, and I used to cook as a hobby, but he was ashamed of being called a chef himself, not a professional learner."
Meanwhile, Chef Yoo Yong-wook made headlines by appearing on Netflix's 'Black and White Cook 2'. Currently, he runs a 'Yu Yong-wook BBQ' restaurant. Last year, he signed exclusive contracts with rappers Gray and Woo Won-jae's agencies Doover Entertainment.
