Group ENHYPEN member ENHYPEN Jay cooking skills drew high praise from Chef Jung Ji-sun in a recent episode.
ENHYPEN Jay’s Blind Cooking Challenge
On October 1st, Jay released the second episode of his personal variety show ‘Shh, Secret Recipe’ through ENHYPEN’s official YouTube channel. In this episode, Jay took on a Chinese cooking challenge alongside Chef Jung Ji-sun, showcasing both unexpected culinary abilities and playful charms.
Before diving into the cooking, Jay quickly deduced that the ingredients on the prep table pointed to Chinese cuisine. He then instantly identified Chef Jung Ji-sun’s identity upon hearing her Mandarin greeting from behind a blind, kicking off the show smoothly.
However, once the cooking started, things got intense. Jay struggled through a ‘chopping hell’ with julienning, but he focused intently on Chef Jung’s instructions and followed along step-by-step. He asked direct questions to clear up any confusion and worked hard to minimize mistakes.
Chef Jung Ji-sun’s Glowing Review
Even in a blind setting where the two could not see each other, Jay’s concentration stood out. Following Chef Jung’s guidance without missing a beat, Jay relied on his instincts to cook. Chef Jung praised his skills simply by listening to the sound of Jay’s knife-cutting.
Their chemistry added to the fun. When Jay confessed that operating a wok was a long-time romance of his, Chef Jung joked on the spot, “Come to my restaurant if you want to learn,” bringing laughter. Jay enthusiastically embraced the unexpected offer.
When the blind was finally lifted and Jay’s completed dish was revealed, tension peaked. After tasting the dish, Chef Jung brightened up and praised him, saying, “He has good culinary hands. There is nothing to find fault with. He would do well even with more difficult menus next time.”
