The new E-channel entertainment 'Ryu Student Eo Nam-seon' announced its departure ahead of its first broadcast on May 17. Ryu Soo-young, Yoon Kyung-ho and Ki-hyun attended the production presentation held at CineCube Gwanghwamun in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 15th to reflect on the meaning and journey contained in the program.

Actor Ryu Soo-young put forward his real name 'Eo Nam-seon' and devoted all his heart from planning to appearing on the show. Under the slogan "Eat, Learn, and Complete", it contains the process of three people traveling to foreign countries to experience local white rice culture and complete their own recipes based on this.

Ryu Soo-young appears in various cooking entertainment shows and is most wary of what viewers will feel. I tried not to make it look like celebrities were filming overseas boating with favor"The memory of sharing a knife and fire in a small kitchen every evening after encountering the real local common food culture and everyday dining table is intact." he said.




He "When you teach a dish, it's most important to try it yourself. You have affection and you know how precious it is. If you give food to a good person, you will feel the real meaning of cooking." Ryu Soo-young traveled to three countries, Portugal, Sicily, and Brunei, rediscovering the meaning of Korean food and sharing moments inspired by foreign chefs.

Kihyun of Monsta X, who was on his first entertainment show after being discharged from the military, said, `I was very worried right after I was discharged from the military, but luckily I came back to this program.'"I had given up on taste in the military, but through this trip, I found the joy of taste again. I want to be recognized by fans as someone who is really good at cooking" expressed his determination.

Ki-hyun also expressed pride in teamwork, saying, "It's fun to see the three of us as very different characters, and Ryu Soo-young immediately recognizes the ingredients that are lacking when tasting like ChatGPT."




Yoon Kyung-ho was not familiar with cooking, but he unfolded the story of his growth. He was a k-father who cooked only "ramen". But through this program, I wanted to give children a special meal"It failed and succeeded, but the process is real, so the viewers will sympathize with it."

He also absorbed the MZ sensibility by learning moonwalk and wave from Kihyun. At first, we were awkward with each other, but now we have a brotherly chemistry."

Regarding the cooking skills of the two, Ryu Soo-young said, `Kihyun is very imaginative and sensible, showing that he can taste it with just his love for cooking. Yoon Kyung-ho praised the first dish, "It smelled fishy and surprised me, but it gradually developed and even digested oven cooking."




'Ryu student Eo Nam-seon' also emphasized the difference from existing cooking entertainment shows. Ryu Soo-young said, `Thanks to appearing on various cooking shows, viewers can feel tired. However, it is completely different from other programs. The three of us eat small meals, and the camera is not grandiose, and we carry a small one each. Food stories that contain emotions different from existing large-scale planned cooking entertainment shows. "This time, we are learning overseas meals as they are." That's the biggest difference."

'Ryu Student Eo Nam-seon' will premiere on E-Channel at 5:20 p.m. on the 17th.
