I have a Jongwon Baek of controversy.There are many people linked to director Yoo Ki-hwan, black and white cook 2 (Netflix Entertainment Festival 2025)



Director Yoo Ki-hwan revealed the reason for releasing Black and White Chef 2 in December despite the controversy over Jongwon Baek.

Netflix held 'Netflix Entertainment Festival 2025' at a hotel in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 2nd and unveiled this year's and next year's entertainment lineup. At the event, Hwang Seul-woo PD of 'Crime Scene Zero', Jang Ho-ki PD of"Physical Asia", Kim Ye-seul PD of"Kenyan Three Meals" and"Lee Seo-jin's Dalla", Kim Hak-min PD of"Black and White Cook: War of the Cooking Classes 2", Kim Jae-won PD of"Solo Hell 5", Jeong Jong-yeon PD of"Mystery Investigation Team 2", Lee So-min PD of"Daehwan Jang 2"Yoo Jae-seok Camp", Kim No-eun PD of"Morta Solo but I Want to Date.

Jongwon Baek, who is appearing as a judge in the `Black and White Cook' program, has recently been embroiled in various controversies. Dubon Korea was previously criticized for violating the Farmland Act by producing products from foreign materials, although the Baekseok plant in Yesan County, Chungcheongnam-do, is an agricultural promotion zone, so domestic agricultural products should be used as the main raw material. In addition, among the pork content of the Dubon Korea product, the citrus content of the citrus beer, and the ingredients of Hanshin Pocha stir-fried octopus sold at its mall, Dubon Mall, Chinese products have been turned into domestic products.




Director Yoo Ki-hwan responded, "We confirmed the release of the work in December. I think what I've said many times was in a similar case, but we think carefully about this case. It seems that many people involved and participated in the work are thinking about what choices they are affected by. Since black and white is a program linked to 100 chefs and 3 to 400 staff, I thought it would be right to release it as scheduled and leave the judgment to the viewers.

Over the past year, Netflix has released a variety of entertainment shows, including 'The influencer', 'Rookie Cho Jung-seok', 'Comedy Revenge', 'Black and White Cook: Cooking Class Wars', 'Zombie Bus: New Bloods', 'Rugby: Dying or Winning', 'Solo Hell 4', 'Devils Plan: Death Room' and 'Motasolo, but I Want to Date'. In addition, Netflix is drawing attention as it plans to release new entertainment shows this year and next year.
