Choi Tae-sung, host of "What Did the King Eat?", expressed clear satisfaction with the combination of Yang Sang-guk, Shin Gi-ru, and Ji Ye-eun.

On the afternoon of the 14th, a press conference for TV Chosun's variety program "What Did the King Eat?" was held at Samsung IT Valley in Guro-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul. Korean history instructor Choi Tae-sung, comedians Yang Sang-guk and Shin Gi-ru, and actress Ji Ye-eun attended.

"What Did the King Eat?" is a lively talk variety show that delivers a "delicious history book" through eye-catching and mouth-watering stories of 27 Joseon dynasty kings—from royal premium nourishing dishes to forbidden delicacies that shook their times. The program premiered on the 8th.

That day, Choi Tae-sung repeatedly expressed strong satisfaction with the trio's chemistry, saying, "Now I understand why these three receive appearance fees. They keep coming up with funny lines I never thought of myself. I can fully justify their fees."

In response, Shin Gi-ru joked, "Of course we get paid for this," drawing laughter. He added, "The first episode recording was a bit boring because I had to listen to things I wasn't curious about. There are probably many people like me who know nothing about history at all. For someone like me to learn enjoyably and gradually become interested—that's my reason for being on this program."

He then confessed, "Among my appearances, having a show like this is not a bad thing, so I decided to join," eliciting more laughter.

Meanwhile, "What Did the King Eat?" airs every Wednesday at 10 p.m.
