On 'Sikpo-Ille', Chef Choi Kang-rok, the winner of 'Black and White Yosa: Cooking Class War Season 2', emphasized his own pace and left a deep impression on viewers.

In the first episode of SBS variety show 'Strong Road - Sikpo-Ille' (hereinafter 'Sikpo-Ille'), which aired on the evening of the 21st, the scenes of chefs Choi Kang-rok and Kim Do-yun heading to Jirisan and rapper Defconn were depicted.

In today's broadcast, viewers could hear Chef Choi Kang-rok's sincere inner thoughts, which were unpredictable, adding to the intrigue. Although Choi is the winner of the OTT Netflix series 'Black and White Yosa: Cooking Class War Season 2' (hereinafter 'Black and White Yosa 2'), he recently drew attention for closing his restaurant. Among chefs, he is known as someone who "abandoned the oar when the water rose."

At this, Defconn asked Chef Choi, "Don't you often hear people say you kicked away your luck? When the opportunity came, you seemed to say, 'Don't come, I won't even float the boat.' But there are cases where, after being noticed once, people later regret, 'I should have worked harder back then,' and feel regret. Do you think you wouldn't feel regret even if such a situation came?" This was a question that everyone was curious about.

In response, Chef Choi Kang-rok said, "It seems I've already experienced this situation for the third time," and calmly added, "I'm prepared to be forgotten. By three months, people almost forget."

Soon after, he showed a relaxed attitude, saying, "I am rowing my own boat, but I just can't pick up speed. I'm rowing with my hands at 2 kilometers per hour."

When Defconn remarked, "Others are going by motorboat, aren't they?" Chef Choi Kang-rok replied, "This pace is fine for me. Calmly."

He continued, "Being a Yosa is exhausting and hard. But the only time I feel happiness is when someone eats the food I've made. If they enjoy it, then I feel happiness."

Notably, Chef Choi Kang-rok added, "I am prepared to be forgotten, but I don't want to be forgotten forcibly. I want to be forgotten naturally."

'Sikpo-Ille' follows chefs Choi Kang-rok and Kim Do-yun along with Defconn as they travel across the country, revealing 'flavor spoilers' that make food even more delicious when you know them. It is a high-end culinary roadshow that delivers the secrets of cooking and the pleasure of intellectual gourmet dining. The series consists of eight episodes and airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m.
