Choi Kang-rok, the winner of "Black and White Yosa 2," teased a fiery yet playful chemistry with Chef Kim Do-yoon on "Choi Kang-rode-Sikpoylee" (hereinafter "Sikpoylee").

On the afternoon of the 17th, a press conference for SBS's new variety show "Choi Kang-rode-Sikpoylee" (hereinafter "Sikpoylee") was held at Sims Space in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Co-directors PD Son Jeong-min and PD Ha Jeong-seok, along with fixed cast members chefs Choi Kang-rok and Kim Do-yoon, and singer Defconn, attended the event.

"Sikpoylee" is a high-end culinary roadshow that reveals the secrets of cooking and delivers the pleasure of intellectual gourmet dining. In particular, it has drawn attention for bringing together Choi Kang-rok, the winner of the OTT Netflix cooking survival show "Black and White Yosa 2," and Kim Do-yoon, known as the "White Spoon Chef," who challenged alongside him for two consecutive seasons. The two, along with Defconn, travel across the country to reveal "flavor spoilers" that make food even more delicious when you know the secrets.

On the day, when asked about his chemistry with Chef Kim, Choi Kang-rok remarked, "I even thought we might cut ties after this program ends," eliciting laughter from the audience.

He continued, "That's because there were many points of contention regarding culinary knowledge and experience. If 'Oh, that's correct' when discussing something is considered good chemistry, then it seems we were on the opposite end of the spectrum. So, after each filming session, I would call Chef Kim Do-yoon and we'd often say things like, 'Let's not cut ties; this is this, and that is that.' Is that also considered chemistry?" he added, drawing more laughter.

Regarding Defconn, he joked, "I haven't appeared on many broadcasts, but I got a new and special feeling from him. He picked up on the atmosphere and ran with it. There's no way I'd cut ties with Defconn."

In contrast, Chef Kim Do-yoon maintained a cheerful atmosphere with his "Choi Kang-rok fan" persona. Chef Kim said, "When the topic of 'cutting ties' came up, I never had such thoughts. Through this 'Sikpoylee,' I now clearly understand why Chef Choi Kang-rok won first place twice in the cooking survival show. His perspective was different from mine, which was refreshing," he praised.

Additionally, when asked if there was any other chef he would like to appear with, he declared, "I'm not close with other chefs. I'm devoted solely to Choi Kang-rok," showing his affection.

"Sikpoylee" will air its first episode at 9 p.m. on the 21st.
