The episode features a 15-minute cooking challenge where chefs compete using ingredients found in Park’s refrigerator.
First Round: Korean-Vietnamese Fusion
Chefs Son Jong-won and Kwon Seong-jun face off with the theme “Vietnamese cuisine with Korean flavors.”
Before cooking begins, the two engage in playful banter about their football abilities. Kwon boasts about his childhood soccer skills, claiming he was nicknamed “Nowon District Inzaghi” in his neighborhood. Son counters by revealing he was actually a high school soccer team captain, and jokingly mentions his old nickname was “Mississippi Ahn.”
Both chefs are currently on impressive winning streaks—Son with five consecutive victories and Kwon with three—making their clash particularly compelling.

Lee makes a dramatic entrance wielding a Chinese cleaver, showcasing impressive knife skills. Park responds with equal confidence, creating a tense atmosphere filled with playful taunts and competitive jabs.
The competition escalates with theatrical performances. Lee executes a dazzling “dual-blade knife dance” that captivates everyone watching, while Park counters with her own unique flourishes.
Throughout the passionate showdown between the two chefs, Coach Park couldn’t stop laughing—reportedly even shedding tears of joy as he thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle.
