Choi Gang-rok, the winner of the Netflix cooking competition show Black and White Chef Season 2, has made headlines by shedding his usual hat styling and appearing with a bold bob wig.
On the 17th, a video was posted on An Seong-jae's YouTube channel featuring Chef Choi Gang-rok and Chef Kim Seong-woon sharing their thoughts after the victory. Choi Gang-rok, who has openly confessed to hair loss and always wore hats in broadcasts and daily life, captured the viewers' attention by appearing with an unfamiliar bob wig.
When Chef An Seong-jae asked about Choi Gang-rok's changed hairstyle, Choi Gang-rok replied that he wanted to express the passage of time. He added that he wanted to visually show the passage of time rather than explain it with words, and that the bob wig metaphorically represented the fact that it has been half a year since filming Black and White Chef 2 ended.
In the video, Choi Gang-rok also candidly shared his recent experiences after winning. He mentioned that while there was a period of being intoxicated by the joy of victory, he tried to maintain his daily life by working even more to quickly move past that state. However, he also expressed that he feels he can truly return to his original life only after the broadcast is completely wrapped up.
Chef Choi Gang-rok has previously revealed that the reason he has stuck to wearing hats in various programs, including Please Take Care of My Refrigerator, is due to hair loss. He humorously transformed his physical characteristic by saying his nickname was originally "Bald Eagle," so this bob wig performance brought great laughter and fun to his fans.
Choi Gang-rok, who won the fierce competition in the final episode of Black and White Chef Season 2 released on the 13th, continues to showcase his unique culinary worldview and distinctive manner of speaking, maintaining his popularity.
