Broadcaster Hong Seok-cheon and chef Edward Kwon announced the start of their head-to-head competition.

In the second episode of tvN's variety program 'Street Restaurant Fighter,' broadcast on the 28th, chefs engaged in a fierce sales battle with a goal of 1 million won in revenue.

On the day, culinary expert Lee Yeon-bok said, "The person I worry least about is Hong Seok-cheon. I don't know why Hong Seok-cheon is here."

In contrast, Edward Kwon remarked, "Actually, the person who stood out the most was (Hong) Seok-cheon. Although one could argue he isn't a chef since he has been in the food business for so long, I believe he best embodied the purpose of a sales survival show."

Hong Seok-cheon said, "I said it would be fun if Edward Kwon appeared, and he really did," introducing the connection between the two. The two, both born in 1971, are long-time friends.

Additionally, Hong Seok-cheon revealed that his partner, chef Park Min-hyuk, is a former student of Edward Kwon.

Park Min-hyuk stated, "When I first went abroad, the executive chef of a seven-star hotel in Dubai was Edward Kwon. Since then, we have come to Korea together, and in a way, he is my right-hand man."

In response, Hong Seok-cheon said, "Since we have to compete in a cooking battle, it would be embarrassing to win with a one-punch knockout, and I cannot afford to lose," solidifying his resolve and raising expectations for the full-scale head-to-head competition.
