'BamBam' from 'Do You Know Home Cooking' transforms into a 'jack-of-all-trades' equipped not only with translation skills but also with cooking and business acumen, perfectly supporting Lee Jang-woo.

The show 'Do You Know Home Cooking,' which will air its first episode on July 9 (today) at 10:20 p.m. on MBN and MBC Every1, features Lee Jang-woo, a representative gourmand of the entertainment industry and 'handsome star,' as he travels around the world to share the flavors and warmth of Korean home cooking in a travel variety show called 'Food and Joy.' Joining him on the first journey in Thailand is BamBam from GOT7, who will step up as a 'global home cooking messenger' alongside Lee Jang-woo.

On this day, the two crossed paths in Thailand and headed to Nonthaburi, located an hour's drive from Bangkok. There, Lee Jang-woo and BamBam visit a noodle shop with a 40-year tradition to savor the local flavors. Following the owner's recommendation, they head to a place selling 'pla tu' (Thai mackerel), a specialty of Nonthaburi. After arriving at the stilt house on the river in a Thai-style pickup truck called 'songthaew,' they warmly greet the owner, a master of 'pla tu.'

The owner of 'pla tu' personally prepares a meal for the guests who have come from afar, and Lee Jang-woo, wanting to reciprocate, suggests a 'K-home cooking' dish. With interest growing around the owner's reaction and what 'K-home cooking' menu Lee Jang-woo will prepare for the 'pla tu' owner, BamBam surprises everyone by revealing his hidden 'cooking DNA' next to Lee Jang-woo. There's anticipation for how Lee Jang-woo and the locals will evaluate BamBam's unrestrained cooking skills, displayed through his own unique recipe.

Meanwhile, they set out on a boat to help the 'pla tu' owner. At this moment, BamBam cunningly offers a discount in Thai, saying, 'I will give one set of two for three!,' and even uses his ace line, 'Four sets for 150 baht!' After a series of ups and downs in their business, the two enjoy a honey-like rest. During this time, BamBam recommends trying the Thai delicacies 'fried duck mouth' and his soul food 'som tam' (Thai spicy salad) and heads to a nearby restaurant. Immediately after, BamBam activates 'hand eating,' saying, 'Som tam tastes best when eaten by hand!' and provides Lee Jang-woo with a new lesson.

Meanwhile, during a meal with the family of the 'pla tu' owner, BamBam suddenly declares 'a pause in translation.' As the locals asked Lee Jang-woo, 'What is your name?' one joked, 'I thought it was Kim Jong-un,' and remarked, 'His body shape is similar to (Kim Jong-un),' leaving BamBam flustered. In response, BamBam honestly admits, 'I can't translate this,' raising interest in how the two will overcome this challenge. Amidst supporting Lee Jang-woo and showing off his 'one-man army' capabilities, BamBam's extensive activities can be seen in the first episode of 'Do You Know Home Cooking,' airing tonight at 10:20 p.m. on MBN and MBC Every1.
