“Jinny’s Kitchen” is only days away from its premiere on Amazon Prime Video for international fans to watch. The show features Lee Seo Jin, Jung Yoo Mi, Park Seo Joon, Choi Woo Sik, and BTS’s V, aka Kim Taehyung, running an overseas Korean restaurant in Bacalar, Mexico.
On February 20, the entire cast of ‘Jinny’s Kitchen’ appeared as guests on ‘The Game Caterers‘ to play fun games and hilarious challenges. Throughout the episode, the cast laughed as they shared funny details about each other during the show’s filming.
Lee Seojin revealed that Taehyung had a bright and innocent personality. He made everyone laugh when he explained that Taehyung came to Mexico expecting to be on vacation and have fun, without realizing the amount of work he needed to do.
“This person joined without realizing what this program is about. It seemed as though he came on a holiday. And Taehyung was always so innocent/bright.” – Taehyung
Nonetheless, that didn’t stop Taehyung from taking his job seriously and being a hardworking intern. Although he shared that the working hours were longer than what he was told initially because they were forced to work at night as well.
“I thought it was strange that the business hours were so different than what I’d heard. I thought it was just for the day time, but all of a sudden they needed me at night.” – Taehyung
Although Taehyung is known for his low tolerance for alcohol, he said he fell in love with the sweet taste of tequila because the cast drank it daily after work while filming in Mexico.
Taehyung joked that their strict boss, Lee Seo Jin, only smiles when he’s making a profit or when he sees him eating ramen after work.
A major highlight of the episode was Taehyung and Yumi’s friendship.
Despite being the newest addition to the cast, Yumi shared that Taehyung talked to her a lot and helped uplift her spirit whenever she had a tough time.
“Even though Taehyung came here for the first time but the very fact that he talked to me a lot gave me a lot of strength and was so helpful.” – Yumi
Their friendship led to a cute argument about food after Yumi agreed to eat with him after dinner but later changed her mind. This is because Taehyung likes to destress after work by eating ramen with people.
‘Jinny’s Kitchen’ premieres on February 24 at 8:50 PM KST on tvN and TVING for viewers in Korea. Global fans can watch it on Amazon Prime in the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
