The restaurateur Baek Jong-won expressed regret for the grants participants in Les Misérables.

On the 22nd, the final lineup appeared on ENA's entertainment show 'Baek Jong-won's Les Misérables', and the final game was realized. Joo Hyun-wook, Son Woo-sung, and Choi Jeong-hyun, who made it to the top 3, shared their determination.

Joo Hyun-wook, who has a father with a 400 million won debt, expressed his desire for the prize money by saying, "We need 400 million won to make our home a harmonious family," adding, "My father got into a pyramid scheme and took out loans for 10 years without any revenue, which led to this debt," and "I thought that the money needed for our family to return to being an ordinary family was 400 million won."

Choi Jeong-hyun expressed his dreams, saying, "They say I was adopted, but wasn't I thrown away in a bad way? I hope to succeed so my parents recognize me and regret it. I have dreamed of being a chef since I was a child. I remember volunteers cooking for me as a child, and I think that was all good. I want to create a place that makes customers feel good while talking to them."

Son Woo-sung's situation was slightly different. He had built his family. Son Woo-sung stated, "I am a 40-something man in South Korea with a debt of 500 million won due to business failure," adding, "I feel very sorry for my family. I feel very sorry that I couldn't provide as much as others after getting married. This seems to be my last challenge. I will earnestly try my best as if I am grabbing at straws."

They had to run a store in Namwon for three days. 1. Operating my own pocha for three days in Namwon, 2. The challenger with the highest total pure profit over three days wins, 3. The method of calculating pure profit: total revenue, excluding expense for part-time workers, was the game condition.

Baek Jong-won noted, "The finals venue is a bit different from last time. It is close to the business. Customer reception, turnover, inventory management, and profit margin must all be checked. This will surely give them a headache."

Choi Jeong-hyun set up a pocha using fish cake, Joo Hyun-wook prepared a pocha using fish-flavored eggplant, and Son Woo-sung created a pocha using chicken neck meat.

Joo Hyun-wook revealed his secret to using chef Lim Tae-hoon's chance, saying, "I didn’t contact the chef during the semifinals. In the semifinals, when I touched Korean cuisine, a crisis came. So, I contacted my guiding chef."

Son Woo-sung prepared his own weapons against his family. Choi Jeong-hyun utilized quick turnover and his natural business intellect to establish business profit. Ultimately, the three showed similar results, but Joo Hyun-wook achieved victory.

Baek Jong-won expressed, "What should I do for something other than first place? We trained close to a real situation, but it’s regrettable for a few of them," and added, "I want to showcase the success of the Les Misérables challengers," showing empathy and support for those eliminated, which brought tears to his eyes.
