Seo Jin’s, specializing in Korea’s delectable street food items, will be run by BTS’ V, Park Seo-joon, Choi Woo-sik, and Jung Yu-mi, and run under CEO Lee Seo-jin. The show will be helmed by PD Na Young-suk.
While the Singularity singer is a new addition to the cast, Park Seo-joon, Choi Woo-sik, and Jung Yu-mi have previously starred in Youn’s Kitchen. In the teaser poster released, BTS’ V and the rest of the members are smiling brightly in their restaurant uniforms, exuding warm vibes and are ready to serve their customers some delectable food.
In the teaser video, hungry guests are seen waiting to be served by BTS’ V and the rest of the Wooga Squad members. Choi Woo-sik is surprised and remarks that this must have spread through positive word of mouth. BTS’ V and Park Seo-joon chuckle at his words as they start preparing to serve their customers.
Fans have noted that despite the Sweet Night singer’s debut appearance on a variety show outside BTS, he is winning hearts with a brief display of his culinary skills, friendly demeanor, and handsome visuals. Fans are also excited to see Wooga Squad’s reunion after they starred in the mini-variety show In the SOOP: Friendcation last year.
Jung Yu-mi is the head chef, Park Seo-joon is the sous chef, Choi Woo-sik is the server, and V is the new face of the team. Oscar-winning actress Youn Yuh-jung was supposed to be on the show, but she is busy filming for Pachinko 2, where she plays the titular role of Sunja.
PD Na Young-suk is known to have the ‘midas touch of the entertainment world’ and is attracting interest from viewers worldwide.
Previously, it was revealed that Seo Jin’s was shot in Mexico, and many Spanish and Mexican ARMYs confirmed seeing the BTS member there.
