Ahn Sungjae, you're the star chef? The chef is a person who moves people with music and taste (Good Day)



Chef Ahn Sung-jae revealed why he turned down entertainment programs.

In the fourth episode of 'Good Day', which aired on the 9th, an episode in which G-Dragon meets the only Michelin three-star chef in Korea with Jeong Hyeong-don and Defconn was revealed.

On this day, G-Dragon, Jeong Hyeong-don, and Defconn gathered first at the rice noodle restaurant recommended by Chef Ahn Sung-jae.




Defconn said of Ahn Sung-jae "He was the one who heated up the Republic of Korea last year. Personally, I'm a huge fan. If there's an entertainment award, that person is the grand prize. He's a person who doesn't do entertainment shows and refuses all of them, but he only comes here. We're meeting because of Jiyong"I couldn't hide my excitement.

Then, when Ahn Sung-jae appeared, G-Dragon admired "Wow" and Defconn praised "You're really handsome".

In particular, G-Dragon said "Before appearing on the program, I've been to Hannam-dong restaurant once." Ahn Sung-jae said, `I didn't know. But even if you came, I usually don't go out. He showed a firm attitude, saying, "The principle is not to leave the kitchen when cooking." In response, Jeong Hyeong-don "Why don't you go out even if Chairman Lee Jae-yong comes?" and Ahn Sung-jae "I won't go out." He showed a professional side, saying, `They'll call me if they need it.'




The four people, who greeted each other, then ordered food recommended by Chef Ahn Sung-jae. G-Dragon, the youngest, immediately poured water into a cup on the table, and Jeong Hyeong-don "It's a rare scene." GD follows the water with surprise.

Defconn also "You used to be a bit of a kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. I had a celebrity diseaseHe kept teasing him, and Ahn Sung-jae kept teasing him that "GD should have celebrity disease." Who should be?" he sensibly wrapped around G-Dragon.

In a friendly atmosphere, Ahn Sung-jae confessed about how he became a chef. Ahn Sung-jae, who dreamed of becoming a PorX mechanic when he was a child, started at the age of 24 when asked, "When did you become a chef?"He became a general chef at the age of thirty-two, and opened a restaurant at the age of thirty-four. I received a star at the age of thirty-five," he said, admiringly.




In response, Defconn wondered "If you go to such an industry, don't you mop for two years at first?" and Ahn Sung-jae "That's right. I mopped for two years. Isn't it not easy to mop. But that two years and an hour became the basis of everything."

Defconn said to G-Dragon "You've been a trainee for a long time, haven't you?" and G-Dragon "That's right. I did it for 11 years. 5 years at SM and 6 years at YG..." he confessed.

G-Dragon didn't have the concept of a trainee at the time. I'm just practicing. There was no salary or affiliation. After going to school, I changed my clothes, cleaned, and learned"I practiced, but I didn't know what would happen," he said, recalling his days as a trainee.

On the other hand, Ahn Sung-jae also revealed the reason for refusing to appear on TV entertainment programs.

Ahn Sung-jae thinks "I'm a cook" I don't think I'm a person who gives you a good time with food or taste, but I don't think I'm a person who does other things."

However, when asked why he chose his first entertainment show with 'Good Day', Ahn Seong-jae replied "It's my first appearance on an entertainment show, and I think it's an honor to participate in it because it's a project that can have a good influence as a chef."

Then, as a chef, I have my own area and a life that I can show, and I participated in it with the hope that it would be a good influence on many people," he added.

However, Ahn Sung-jae, who said he can't sing, expressed his will, saying, `G-Dragon is a producer and an expert, so I will follow his opinion.'

Meanwhile, MBC 'Good Day' is a music project in which G-Dragon completes this year's song with characters from various fields.
