The production team for tvN’s new variety show Jinny’s Kitchen held a production presentation this morning. The event was attended by producer Na Young Seok, Lee Seo Jin, Jung Yumi, Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Shik and Go Min Si.
This season of Jinny’s Kitchen will set up a new branch of Seo Jin’s restaurant in Iceland. They’ll be braving the chilly weather and hoping to win over local hearts with their warm and comforting bowls of gomtang. Go Min Si joins the cast this season, alongside Lee Seo Jin, Jung Yumi, Park Seo Joon and Choi Woo Shik.
Producer Na Young Seok revealed why he asked Go Min Si to join the new season. He explained, “There was one intern position available. We thought a lot about who to fill it with and searched among rising young actors. Min Si is a great actress who is building her career thoughtfully. We found out that she had done various jobs before acting, including working in a company. Although the restaurant may not seem like much to others, it has a very tight organization. We wanted someone who could adapt and show their abilities, so we decided to invite Min Si to join us. She happily agreed, and we started working together.”
Go Min Si shared her thoughts, saying, “At first, I wondered, ‘Why me?’ I was so surprised. After a meeting and some discussion, I said, ‘Thank you so much. I’d love to do it.’ I’m really nervous and excited. I’m honored to have this precious experience. I worked with sincerity, wanting to help as the youngest intern and be a good assistant. From the first meeting with the producer to learning how to cook to going to Iceland, there were so many amazing moments that it still feels unreal. I also saw the video message that V left for me, and I hope he will watch over me. I also look forward to meeting him soon.”

Lee Seo Jin praised Go Min Si, saying, “Min Si has excelled as the best intern. I think she could easily run a food truck on her own and even do well running her own restaurant with Woo Shik.”
Park Seo Joon is back for another season of Jinny’s Kitchen and is ready to take on any cooking challenge that comes his way. When asked about his competitors, Park Seo Joon jokingly said, “We’re all complete amateurs. But if we’re talking about competitors, I think it’s my younger self from the previous season.” Park Seo Joon explained that the physical demands of the show were much tougher this time around, making him realize that he’s not as young as he used to be. “The next season will be in 1-2 years,” he said, “and this time I definitely felt the physical grind. I used to be fine the next day, but this time I wondered why it was so hard. So I think my younger self is my competitor.”
Jinny’s Kitchen 2 will premiere on the 28th at 8:40 PM.
