BTS’ Jin and celebrity chef Baek Jong-won collaborate on an exciting project
BTS’ Jin and Baek Jong-won, one of the most popular chefs in South Korea, first met during the filming of Run BTS! ep 142 last year. The septet instantly clicked with the chef, especially the eldest member, Jin, known to be the group’s most proficient cook. The Epiphany singer and Baek Jong-won kept their friendship alive by meeting several times after filming.
In the Drunken Truth series, BTS’ Jin and chef Baek Jong-won visit a traditional alcohol manufacturer to brew their own alcohol. The Butter singer brings out his entertainer vibes as he does aegyo for the mentor, sings The Astronaut in Acappella mode, roasts Baek Jong-won with a short ‘Do you know BTS?’ skit, and more.
Small details such as a Wootteo plushie, the Good Day pajama set from Artist Made Collection, and witty banter are also things that add charm to the series.
Drunken Truth will be released in four parts. The first two parts will be posted on November 12 at 10 and 10.30 pm KST. The last two parts will be released on November 19 at 10 and 10.30 pm KST.
