Chef Sam Kim (49, real name Kim Hee-tae) actively recommended cartoonist Kim Poong (48) to challenge himself as a "black and white chef."
Sam Kim is the owner chef and "original" star chef who runs two restaurants. After making his name known as a real model of MBC drama "Pasta" (2010), he opened the heyday of "Cooking Room" as an original member of JTBC's "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" (hereinafter referred to as "Coolish"), and showed off his sense of entertainment in MBC's "Real Men 2" in 2015.
Chef Sam Kim, in particular, has drawn attention by ambitiously challenging OTT Netflix's cooking survival "Black and White Cook: Cooking Class War 2" (hereinafter referred to as "Black and White Cook 2"), while he is active in "Cold Sea," which was revived in 2024. Unfortunately, he was eliminated in the 10th inning, but he proved his outstanding skills and is gaining popularity with his unique good charm.
Chef Sam Kim, who once again emerged hot, responded to a phone interview with Star News on the afternoon of the 11th and told his honest story about 'Black and White Chef 2'.

Chef Sam Kim looked back on the appearance of "Black and White Chef 2" differently, saying, "It was a big challenge."
In particular, he said that the 15-minute cooking competition of "Cool-Hae" helped, and he mentioned it without exception. Chef Sam Kim said, "Cool down" was of course very helpful. Because I was so busy with time, I sometimes wondered, "Is it okay to be this relaxed?" when filming "Black and White Cook 2" In terms of time, I think it's right that those who were from "Cold You" had a little bit of time.
In fact, online, the view that "cold" is the "finisher" continues to be said to be the "cooking academy." On top of that, Kim Poong is drawing attention as the "final boss" that the winners of "Black and White Cook" should go through. As a result, voices calling for a challenge to Kim Poong as a "black and white chef" are rising.
When asked if he recommends Kim Poong to challenge himself as a 'black-and-white chef', Chef Sam Kim said, "I recommend it. I also told (Kim)Pung directly. If I go out, everyone except Pung was a 'black-and-white cook', so if I go out, shouldn't you do it, too?"
He said, "Honestly, I came to look back on my cooking life through 'Black and White Cook 2'. And I don't think I've ever thought about it this much with one dish. I told Poong to go out for fun, but I really recommend it to the chefs," he said, giving a glimpse of his sincerity.
When asked about the production team's reaction to "Cool down," he said, "They like it. It's proven that the black and white chef is on his way to the cold buckwheat noodles anyway, so he has no choice but to like it. In addition, he said, "Since the performers of 'Please Stay cool' live evenly from beginning to end, it is also being advertised indirectly."
Finally, Chef Sam Kim thanked elementary school students. He said, "When I fell from 'Black and White Chef 2', he comforted me a lot, but when I lose from 'Cold and White Chef 2', I get angry. So there's something to ask Chef Son Jong-won to lose. Our elementary school fans are a little rough, but I hope it's not wild. But it's so cute. You sent me a letter and you are pure. Thank you for continuing to support me like this," he said, sending his father's heart.
