Chef Sam Kim is eagerly awaiting the 'Undercover Chef' spin-off.

On the 29th, Chef Sam Kim posted a message on her Instagram account: "Let's meet again! Spin off …Andiamo!! Let's go!! Come on with the spin-off soon." tvN's 'Undercover Chef' (directed by Hong Jin-ju) is a variety show that follows star chefs who disguise themselves as the youngest kitchen staff at restaurants in their home countries—the nations where their signature dishes originated—and take on hidden missions while setting aside their status.

Sam Kim infiltrated a restaurant in Parma, Italy; Jeong Ji-seon in Chengdu, China; and Kwon Seong-joon in Naples, Italy. The show depicted their journeys of overcoming unfamiliar environments and language barriers to earn the trust of their kitchen colleagues. From its premiere, the program maintained first place in viewership ratings for its time slot each week. The 10th episode, aired on the 23rd, achieved a peak viewership rating of 8.6%, marking the series' highest-ever record as it concluded its undercover journey.

Buoyed by viewers' expectations, the show is returning in spin-off form. In the 'Undercover Chef' spin-off, the special bonds formed in Parma, Chengdu, and Naples will come to Korea. Not only viewers but also cast member Chef Sam Kim are eagerly awaiting the spin-off of 'Undercover Chef'.

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