New cooking-travel reality show "Seojin's," starring BTS member V, will air its first episode on Feb. 24, said cable channel tvN on Friday.
"Seojin's" is a spin-off series from the cable channel's hit show “Youn’s Kitchen" (2017-18).
In the spin-off, actors Lee Seo-jin, Jung Yu-mi, Park Seo-joon and Choi Woo-shik, and K-pop star V will travel to Mexico to cook and sell Korean street food.
"Seojin's" is garnering particular interest because three of its cast members — V, Park and Choi — are part of a celebrity friend group called Wooga Fam. According to the members, they had already been friends for 10 years before they reached the level of fame that they all experience today.
Popular television producer Na Young-seok, who was also behind "Youn's Kitchen," has taken the helm of "Seojin's."
The new show is slated to air every Friday at 8:50 p.m. on tvN. It will also be available on the local streaming platform Tving.
The original "Youn's Kitchen" featured actors Youn Yuh-jung, Lee and Jung running a temporary mom-and-pop Korean restaurant in a country outside Korea. The first season was shot in Gili Trawangan, northwest of Indonesia’s Lombok. The second season was set in the small town of Garachico in Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands.
Both seasons saw popularity, topping viewership rating lists of all television programs airing in the same time slot. A spin-off series titled "Youn's Stay" aired in 2021, in which actor Lee also took part.
