ENHYPEN JAY Transforms into Chef Jung Ji-sun's 'Maknae'... Chicken Breast Dish Completion Rated as 'Average for an Idol'

JAY, a member of the group ENHYPEN, embarked on a cooking challenge under the guidance of a famous chef.

According to the released video, JAY participated as the kitchen maknae for Chef Jung Ji-sun through the 'Shh, Secret Chef' content. This filming was composed of a process where JAY, rather than learning professional skills as a chef, approached it with passion as a person who loves cooking. JAY showed his determination to do better than last time as a person with a passion for cooking.

"You must doubt yourself," Jung Ji-sun's advice and JAY's cooking challenge

As the full-scale cooking began, JAY proceeded step-by-step, starting from vegetable preparation. During the process of julienning carrots following Chef Jung Ji-sun's guidance, JAY expressed difficulty, saying, "It's not easy because I've never learned how to julienne before." JAY, who revealed that he usually enjoys pasta and meat-related dishes and eats out often, also challenged himself with Chinese cuisine.

In the subsequent process involving fire, he continued with Chinese cooking methods, such as stir-frying chicken breast and adding soy sauce. In particular, during the process of wrapping ingredients using spring roll skins, JAY showed tension, worrying that the spring roll skins might tear. Chef Jung Ji-sun advised JAY, "You must doubt yourself until the end. You must continuously hold onto that doubt about whether what you are doing is correct. That doubt produces good results."

The completion of the chicken breast dish rated as 'Average for an Idol'

During the cooking process, an unexpected situation occurred while melting sugar. JAY faced obstacles, such as the sugar not flowing as desired or forming bizarre shapes, but he ultimately completed and plated the spring roll dish. This dish is a menu made by JAY, an idol, using chicken breast as the main ingredient.

At the time of the results announcement, Chef Jung Ji-sun gave the dish JAY made an evaluation of "average for an idol." JAY expressed satisfaction with the dish, saying, "The moment of tasting is the happiest moment in this program." Chef Jung Ji-sun also positively evaluated JAY's cooking skills, saying, "He must be busy being an idol, but he does better than expected. The level of completion is high." JAY showed a positive reaction to the finished dish, noting that while the scent of soy sauce rises, the seasoning fits well the more he chews.

"If you want to learn wok skills, come to the restaurant," a pleasant conclusion between the chef and JAY

During the cooking process, JAY expressed his interest in cooking, saying, "It was my dream to be good at wok skills." To this, Chef Jung Ji-sun responded, "If you really want to learn, come to the restaurant," creating a pleasant atmosphere. JAY even expressed his intention to visit the restaurant on a holiday.

JAY shared his thoughts on this activity, saying, "I think it will remain a delicious yet fun memory." Chef Jung Ji-sun concluded the filming by expressing expectation that JAY will be able to handle even more difficult menus next time.
