Jongwon Baek, who served as a judge on Netflix's original entertainment program 'Black and White Chef: Cooking Class Wars', is drawing attention by confessing her experiences of sweating during the eye patch screening.

Recently, a video on Jongwon Baek's YouTube channel 'Jongwon Baek's cookbook'This is not a black-and-white cook, this is my dark history' was released. In the video, chef Yeo Kyung-rae, a Chinese food master who appeared in Black and White Cook, appeared together to tell the behind-the-scenes story of the program.

The Jongwon Baek asked Chef Yeo Kyung-rae, "How did you decide to appear on 'Black-and-white Chef' when you were at the top of the domestic Chinese food industry?" and Chef Yeo responded, "I was hesitant at first, but I decided to appear on it because I thought it could motivate my juniors", he explained. But he recalled the moment he failed the blind test, saying "I went to one shot while I was off guard."

Recalling the time of the judging, Jongwon Baek recalled "It was difficult for me to judge chef Yeo's food", he confessed his burden. Especially with the moment when he had to wear an eye patch and judge the food, he was in a disadvantage for the food-maker because covering the eyes of the food-eater would require him to rely solely on smell and taste," he said. As he took off his eye patch, he shouted to himself, "'Oh, I'm X.'" He confessed honestly about the urgency of the time.

Chef Yeo Kyung-rae thanked the Jongwon Baek, saying, `This appearance was also a good opportunity for me.'
