Se Ri Pak and Young Ja Lee have teamed up for the new tvN STORY variety show 'What to save,' which airs today, May 28 (Wed), at 8 p.m. Meanwhile, actor Ji Ho Oh will appear as a guest.
'What to save' is a mukbang and talk variety program where food is eaten without leftovers, but connections and stories are preserved. The show, featuring a cheerful and delicious lightning tour where Young Ja Lee and Se Ri Pak enjoy food, relaxation, and happiness without leaving any behind, is gaining attention. Particularly, the nationwide food travel program that suddenly invites friends for a day trip to famous eateries has two important rules: it must depart at a fixed time, but Young Ja and Se Ri can secretly pick up their desired dining companions at specified locations.
In the first episode of 'What to save,' which will air at 8 p.m. today on tvN STORY, Young Ja and Se Ri will head to Gangneung with their close friends as guests to enjoy a feast. Before their first journey, the two MCs met at a beef restaurant in Gangnam for a pre-meeting and raised their expectations for the upcoming journey by enjoying 1++ beef in various cuts as a way to build rapport. Known for their golden connections, the two MCs will invite their guests for the first trip, including actress Sung Ryung Kim and actor Ji Ho Oh, 'Marine Boy' Tae Hwan Park, and singer Brian. Young Ja's guest, Sung Ryung Kim, is a new friend who appeared on Young Ja's YouTube, and Ji Ho Oh is an old acquaintance from the past variety show 'Taxi,' where they created legendary moments. For Se Ri's guests, Brian will make a grand entrance singing 'You're my girl,' the official BGM for younger men, while Tae Hwan Park will arrive with a charming bouquet of bread instead of flowers, showcasing a comfortable and cheerful chemistry between close friends.
The highly anticipated first destination of 'What to save' is Gangneung. The first restaurant chosen by Young Ja Lee, known as 'the bible of gastronomy,' is a snow crab restaurant with an open view of Gyeongpo Beach, which raised the diners' expectations with fresh fish that caught the eye from the entrance. The two MCs and guests, who ordered by the large measure from sea bream and flatfish to snow crab and king crab, could not contain their admiration for the parade of side dishes that filled the table before the main menu even arrived. Furthermore, the snow crab and king crab, which were steamed using a special recipe, elicited gasps of amazement, and for dessert, the signature dish of crab innards ramen, uniquely created by the first restaurant, will captivate viewers' taste buds and curiosity.
The second dining location was not an ordinary restaurant but rather a guest house that sparked curiosity. At this picturesque guest house, a unique chef from the guest house appeared to take charge of the fantastic dinner. With seasonal vegetables personally grown in the guest house garden and a premium barbecue of pork ribs, pork belly, sausages, and chicken carefully prepared over seven hours, the meal is expected to whet appetites. The guests were captured continuously eating despite being full, captivated by the special meal set prepared by the special chef, stimulating curiosity about the secrets of this unique guest house.
'What to save,' which stimulates viewers' taste buds with the full life dining experiences of 'the legend of gastronomy' Young Ja Lee and 'the big shot of gastronomy' Se Ri Pak, is generating anticipation for the chemistry with close friends as guests and will premiere on May 28 (Wed) at 8 p.m. on tvN STORY.
