Chef Sam Kim (real name Kim Hee-tae, 49) revealed the secret story of his bromance with Chef Jung Ho-young (50) who gave him a rare nickname "Noo."
Chef Sam Kim showed a brilliant performance as a white spoon participant in OTT Netflix's cooking survival 'Black and White Chef: Cooking Class War 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Black and White Chef 2). As an owner chef who runs two famous restaurants, he captivated viewers around the world with his outstanding skills as well as his unique good charm. This is why chef Sam Kim's elimination in the 10th episode, which was released on the 6th, raised his voice.
In particular, Chef Sam Kim doubled the fun of "Black and White Chef 2" in combination with Chef Jung Ho-young. The chemistry between those who have built up for about 10 years as members of JTBC's "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" (hereinafter referred to as "Cold Yourself") has been properly shining in "Black and White Chef 2."
During the two-man team match, Chef Sam Kim silently listened to Chef Jung Ho-young's demands, unexpectedly highlighted the elements of entertainment, resulting in a fantastic combination. After Chef Jung's remarks, "I wish 'Noo' was pressing down," Chef Sam Kim's superb scene of turning the blender flowed, creating the best scene of 'Black and White Chef 2'. As a result, Chef Sam Kim is followed by a number of modifiers such as "Chef Nu" and "Samjipty (Samkim + Chaejipty)", leading to an explosive reaction to the creation of various memes.
Chef Sam Kim expressed his feelings about this hot popularity in a telephone interview with Star News on the 11th. He said, "I found out about myself after watching the show. When I watched it with Chef Jeong Ho-young or during the team match, I thought that I supported the team members well. I think that's what happened because I divided the work given to me well," he said with humility.

How do you feel about being reborn as 'Chef Nou'. Chef Sam Kim said, "I'm very satisfied. I know because I've seen you make various memes such as 'Chef Nu'. I think it's too much love and interest, so I just thank you," he said, expressing his sincere gratitude for the public's support.
They used honorifics to each other even though they've been together for 10 years. The story of organizing the title in a friendly manner with "Black and White Chef 2" also drew attention.
When asked about this, Chef Sam Kim said, "I was desperate because 'Black and White Chef 2' was a survival game. Since it is famous and it is necessary to literally remove the hierarchy regardless of what it is, there is no choice but to become more tenacious. And I had so many conversations with my brother (Jung Ho-young). They stayed together until the production team told them to break up. As a result, I think we naturally became older and younger brothers," he said.
In particular, he confessed his feelings about being in the spotlight for his excellent personality. Chef Sam Kim said, "I'm so burdened to see it so well. Our restaurant is an open kitchen. Sometimes I have to scold and nag the employees, but the customers look at me with a big smile over there. It's very hard. "I have to be picky and like this in my day job, but I have to hide my expression, so I feel pressured," he said, drawing laughter.
Sam Kim, who is more serious about his job than anyone else, politely declined the love calls for entertainment shows after "Black and White Cook 2" However, he said that only MBC's "Radio Star" was a co-star with Chef Chung Ho-young, giving a glimpse of his passionate loyalty. When asked about his greed as a duo with Chef Jeong, Chef Sam Kim said, "I've talked about this as a joke with my brother. Shouldn't we shoot a blender commercial. I'm looking forward to it," he said with a smile.
