'Undercover Chef' is returning as a spin-off. This time, the veteran chefs who worked in Parma, Italy; Chengdu, China; and Naples, Italy alongside Sam Kim, Jung Ji-sun, and Kwon Sung-jun will visit Korea.

tvN's 'Undercover Chef' (directed by Hong Jin-ju) is a variety show featuring star chefs who go undercover as the youngest kitchen staff in restaurants located in the countries where their signature dishes originated, removing their rank insignia and taking on hidden missions. Sam Kim infiltrated a restaurant in Parma, Italy; Jung Ji-sun in Chengdu, China; and Kwon Sung-jun in Naples, Italy. The show depicted their journey of overcoming unfamiliar environments and language barriers to earn the trust of their kitchen colleagues.

'Undercover Chef' maintained first place in viewership ratings for its time slot from its premiere episode through every broadcast. Its 10th episode, aired on the 23rd, achieved a peak viewership rating of 8.6%, concluding its undercover journey with a record-breaking performance.

Driven by viewers' expectations, the 'Undercover Chef' spin-off will feature the special connections forged in Parma, Chengdu, and Naples now visiting Korea. Relationships that began in foreign kitchens will cross borders to reach Korea. As those who shared joys and sorrows in their respective kitchens create new memories in Korea, anticipation builds for what kind of laughter and emotion 'Undercover Chef'—which earned love not only through the challenges of top chefs but also through genuine human connection—will deliver this time.

Hong Jin-ju PD stated, "Thanks to the great love viewers have shown 'Undercover Chef,' we are able to return with a spin-off." He added, "Through these special connections that transcended borders, we hope to once again share laughter and emotion. We wish this spin-off could be a small gift in return for the great support you've given us."

Meanwhile, the 'Undercover Chef' spin-off is scheduled to air this year, with detailed content and broadcast schedules to be announced later.
