tripleS Soomin hosts school-themed cooking battle with Yeon-ji

tripleS member Soomin organized a special live session where she and Yeon-ji competed to prepare two dishes within a strict 50-minute time limit. The cooking battle, themed around school day tastes, was hosted by DAHYUN following Soomin receiving the 'Can't Stop Smiling Sonia Award'.

A special live content session planned by tripleS member Soomin has been released. Host DAHYUN introduced the live broadcast as an event organized by Soomin following her receiving the 'Can't Stop Smiling Sonia Award' at a recent awards ceremony. Soomin shared that she personally planned everything from the lineup to the content elements and announced the start of the cooking battle.

"Tastes that remind me of school days"... Soomin and Yeon-ji's snack food battle

The theme for this live session was set as "Tastes that remind me of school days." Acting as chefs, Soomin and Yeon-ji must each prepare two dishes that fit the theme within a 50-minute time limit. While they may choose their own main ingredients, they must share the seasonings placed in the center. Once 50 minutes have passed, further cooking is prohibited, and exceeding the time limit results in immediate disqualification.

The two chefs had differing reactions upon hearing the theme. Recalling her school days, Soomin mentioned snack foods, expressing a desire to make tteok-kkochi (skewered rice cakes) based on memories of her parents making them. In contrast, Yeon-ji offered an analytical perspective, bringing up specific memories such as school rules or fish cutlets. Yeon-ji shared her thoughts on cooking by recalling difficult experiences while eating fish cutlets. Just before the battle, Yeon-ji showed a light sense of bravado toward Soomin.

Cooking process unfolds within 50-minute limit

As the battle began in earnest, Soomin and Yeon-ji scanned the prepared ingredients and decided on their respective menus. Soomin finalized her menu by mentioning dishes in an MZ generation style, and Yeon-ji also began cooking after checking the ingredients. Both remained at their cooking stations under the rule that they must strictly adhere to the 50-minute time limit or face disqualification.

During the cooking process, Soomin showed busy movement, such as sharing opinions on using onions or stating that they needed to wait for the cooking order. Host DAHYUN broadcasted the atmosphere on-site by delivering fan reactions in real time. The chefs focused on cooking in their own ways to complete two dishes within the limited time.
