- Interview with Chef Lee Jun, who appeared in Netflix's 'Black and White Chef: The War of the Cooking Classes' Season 2

-following the interview ①
Chef Lee Jun officially operates five stores, including "Michelin 2 Star" Rest and Swanye, so he had to split up his time during the filming of "Black and White Chef 2." He said, "The reason I hesitated when deciding to appear was because I was worried, 'I'm so busy, can I even do this?'"
Regarding the changes since the appearance of "Black and White Chef 2", he said, "In fact, Swanye has a fixed reservation and maximum number of customers, and thankfully, I don't feel that the number of customers has increased because many people visited before (appearance)."
However, the number of people recognizing after 'Black and White Cook 2' has increased. He said, "When I go back and forth from a restaurant, there are more people who are passing by looking at me or asking for pictures. Also, when inquiries such as advertisements come in, I think this program is very influential. To be honest, I thought there would be no such inquiry because it fell relatively quickly, but it was so amazing," he confessed.
As much as he suffered elimination in the second round of "Black and White Chef 2", he must be disappointed. When asked about his intention to try "Black and White Cook 3" again, Chef Lee Jun replied cautiously, "I haven't thought about that, but I don't know."
"In fact, even during the filming of season 2, I had a lot of outside work, so it was difficult to concentrate. Like now, there is so much work that I have a fear of whether I can really go all-in even if I do season 3," he said. "But I had a lot of fun filming the program, so I want to do it if I have a chance, but I'm not a broadcaster." In the end, I think the most important thing is to be good at your main job," he said.
Chef Lee Joon, who emphasized, "If I'm in a situation where I'm neglecting my main job because of broadcasting, I won't appear," said, "Season 2 filming was also compulsory." The shooting ended at 5 a.m., and I had to go to work in the morning after taking a nap. "I had to come up with an idea for the next contest, but it was difficult to go back and forth because I had to make a menu for my store," he said.
