Group ENHYPEN Jay has successfully wrapped up his personal variety content ‘Shhh, Secret’ after drawing favorable reviews from star chefs.

On the 8th, Jay released episode 3 of ‘Shhh, Secret’ through ENHYPEN’s official YouTube channel. In the final episode, he showed significant growth by tackling high-difficulty Japanese dishes under the guidance of Chef Jung Ho-young.

The task required him to cook relying solely on the chef’s explanations coming from behind a blind. Jay paid close attention to even the smallest sounds and continued his cooking process at a steady pace. In particular, the scene where he attempted the ‘jokta’ method—stepping on dough with his feet to make noodles—added a unique source of entertainment. Although he looked slightly flustered by the unfamiliar cooking method, he soon moved his feet skillfully according to Chef Jung Ho-young’s instructions and focused on the dish.

The tension reached its peak when he presented his completed dish to Chef Jung Ho-young. After tasting Jay’s food, Chef Jung praised it by saying, “It has charm.” He added, “Making noodles on the spot is difficult. At first, I had doubts about whether Jay could actually do it. But he followed along well, which made it rewarding,” highly praising Jay’s challenge and effort.

The most noticeable aspect of ‘Shhh, Secret’ was Jay’s improving cooking skills with each episode. While the first episode showed caution in every single movement, accumulated experience allowed him to quickly identify mistakes and calmly correct them. The process of flexibly coping with mistakes without panicking and enhancing the completion of the dish with more meticulous hands caught the viewers’ attention.

Above all, ‘Shhh, Secret’ drew hot topics every week with domestic and international star chefs such as Edward Lee, Jung Ji-sun, and Jung Ho-young making appearances. Working alongside these competitive chefs, Jay radiated his cheerful charm until the very end.

After finishing the content, Jay shared his thoughts, saying, “I never expected such amazing people to appear. It was a truly enjoyable and happy shoot.” Regarding the possibility of a Season 2 production, he gave a witty answer by saying, “I will leave it to fate,” bringing laughter until the end.

Meanwhile, ENHYPEN, the group Jay belongs to, is currently holding a total of 37 shows across 22 cities worldwide through their world tour ‘ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR ‘BLOOD SAGA”. They will hold a 3-day concert in Macau starting from the 16th to the 18th. Following this, they will continue their 4-dome tour in Japan from December to February next year, and expand their stage to Asia and Europe next March.
