'Gourmet' Kim Dae-myung, who visits 7–8 restaurants a day, to appear on 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator'

Actor Kim Dae-myung will reveal his side as one of the entertainment industry's representative gourmets. In the episode of JTBC's 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator since 2014' (hereafter '냉부해') airing on June 28, Kim Dae-myung's refrigerator, which contains his unique culinary philosophy, will be revealed for the first time. It is known that Kim Dae-myung has been passionately pursuing gastronomy, even visiting 7–8 restaurants a day. He has established himself as a top 'food expert' in the industry through his own food content, 'Following Taste, Following Style, Following Dae-myung.'

A special connection with a chef and the emergence of a new rival

In this episode, the story of a chef who shares a special connection with Kim Dae-myung will be introduced. A video of the chef, who acted alongside Kim Dae-myung in the past, will be revealed, and the cast members will express their surprise at his unexpected acting skills. Recalling the past, the chef said, "I felt he was someone with a similar vibe to me."

Meanwhile, Kim Dae-myung named Yoon Nam-no as a rival he has been watching lately. When Kim revealed that he loves eating so much that he visits 7–8 restaurants a day, Yoon Nam-no showed active friendliness by saying, "I'll come over to your house," displaying warm chemistry.

The harsh diet during the 'Misaeng' days and Kang So-ra's reminiscence

In contrast to his recent active culinary activities, episodes from the past when he had to endure intense dieting for his works will also be shared. Actress Kang So-ra, who appeared on tvN's '現場 Talk Show Taxi' in the past, revealed that while filming the drama 'Misaeng,' she managed her body through a combination of diet control and exercise to pull off the office look of her character, Ahn Young-yi.

At that time, the 'Taxi' special for the 'Misaeng' New Year's celebration featured cast members such as Lee Sung-min, Kang So-ra, Kang Ha-neul, Kim Dae-myung, and Byun Yo-han. Lee Sung-min testified regarding Kang So-ra's diet, saying, "She usually eats everything without being picky, but she started not eating once the drama began." He continued, "We used to go out to eat often after filming, but we only ate together with Kang So-ra once. It was heartbreaking to see her leave early during company dinners because she was in pain." In response, Kang So-ra picked "a buffet" as the food she wants to eat most right now.

Kim Dae-myung regains the joy of eating, foreshadowing a full-scale mukbang

Unlike Kang So-ra, who mentioned the pain of dieting, Kim Dae-myung is currently full of life when talking about food. Kim Dae-myung is now fully prepared to eat in earnest after finishing his filming.
