(Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Jung-gu, Seoul)
(The 160th story)
This is My Neighbor, Charles
where we meet foreigners living in Korea.
- Hello. / - Hello.
Today's guest is a friend of Fabian.
Yes, that's right.
I met him while working out at the gym.
He had this charisma
that made him a bit unapproachable.
But if you talk to him, he's a really sweet guy.
How old is he?
- Is he handsome? / - She's very interested.
He's already married.
He's French.
- I'll call out to him in French. / - Oh, in French.
- What should I say? / - You forgot your French?
Hold on.
(Who is Fabian's French friend?)
(Coming in as a couple)
Hello.
- Bonjour. / - Bonjour.
Bonjour.
I'm Jeff from France.
- I see. / - Jeff.
I'm Jeff's wife, Park Sujin.
Now that I've seen him,
I think I understand what you meant, Fabian.
- Right? / - Yes.
- I think Jeff... / - Very charismatic.
Might be an astrologist from France.
(An astrologist?)
He looks like a magician.
He could be a model too.
He seems like a model too.
I vote for model too.
I do some modeling work from time to time.
Right.
When did you two get married?
We got married last October.
So it's your anniversary this month.
They've been married for just a year.
They seem like such a sweet couple.
Let's take a look into their lives now.
I'm curious.
(My Neighbor, Charles)
(A world in Seoul)
Isn't this Itaewon?
It's Itaewon.
If it's a world in Seoul, it's Itaewon.
(This is Haebangchon, Itaewon)
Haebangchon!
Seokcheon, you seem so happy
like this is your hometown.
It's my neighborhood.
(Love rides on a melody)
What's this song?
- ♪ I love you ♪ / - This is Kim Chooja's song.
This song is so old.
- It's a really old song. / - He knows it well.
(Is he really singing a Kim Chooja song right now?)
♪ I can't live ♪
- He likes songs like this? / - Yes.
How does he even know this song?
Did you sleep well?
Did you have breakfast?
What does Jeff eat for breakfast? Congee?
It's cereal and soy milk.
How do you know this song?
- Kim Chooja? / - Yes.
I have one friend. He likes the same kind of songs.
I discovered a very old style music
because of the movies.
In some movie, I heard some songs like this one.
("Hometown" by Lee Nanyeong)
This is a 40s song.
Oh...
What is this guy's deal?
Maybe in his past life...
(The couple starts their morning with oldies)
What's that? Instant noodles?
Such a difference in cultures.
- They're so different. / - What a unique couple.
(They both love the music though!)
They're listening to "Damdadi."
("Damdadi" by Lee Sangeun)
How did you discover this song?
- In the movie, "Thirst," by Park Chanuk. / - I see.
So you like Director Park Chanuk.
Park Chanuk is very popular in France.
So handsome!
- You were a bodyguard? / - Really?
(Park Chanuk's movies made him move to Korea)
He came to Korea after watching
Park Chanuk's movies.
(His life totally changed!)
I guess those movies left an impression on him.
I feel like I'm watching a movie right now.
So pretty.
I was first introduced to Korea through movies.
Then I got really into Korean culture
and I ended up coming to Korea.
I had to start everything from the beginning again.
But the most important thing is that
I'm happier in Korea than I was in France.
(The restaurant Jeff works at)
You work at a restaurant?
(It's a popular restaurant, so the kitchen is busy)
Honey mustard chicken sandwich
with a classic burger.
One cheese pepperoni.
- Oh, you're a chef. / - You're a chef?
(The orders keep coming in)
Wow, that looks delicious.
You make pizza too?
He can make pizza, steak and everything.
(He enjoys the work even though it's demanding)
It's an American style pizza.
- That looks delicious. / - That looks so good!
They all look so fattening.
This is...
That tops everything.
All the food looks so good.
(Order up!)
(How did a bodyguard become a chef?)
My first job... I cannot call it a job
because it's a kind of program.
I worked at a farm.
(He started as a farmer in Gangwon-do)
- In Gangwon-do? / - Yes.
That's unique.
And he lived in Busan.
He really tried to make a living here.
Before I went to Busan,
I've never worked at a restaurant.
I worked at a vegan restaurant
that used organic produce.
After working there,
I dream of opening my own vegan restaurant.
- That's interesting. / - A vegan restaurant?
So he worked at a restaurant for vegetarians.
(One order)
Oh, my God.
But now...
You work at an American restaurant.
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God. / - So many orders.
(It's so busy in the kitchen)
You seem so busy.
Yes, they get a lot of customers.
(At that time!)
I want to surprise my husband.
He's getting off work soon.
She's waiting for him to go on a date.
But he's taking forever.
Are you hiding?
- How cute. / - Yeah, very cute.
- He hasn't come out yet. / - Not yet?
(Here comes Jeff)
Here he comes.
He's not going that way.
It would be funny if he just caught a taxi.
(Wary)
Go follow him.
- Is he with another woman? / - No!
You can come out now.
I can?
He's so far away now.
Yeah.
In case I get spotted.
(Now it's time to run)
I think she has to run now.
I wonder what he'll say.
(Grabbing his butt)
- They're newlyweds. / - That's why.
(Jeff is so happy to see Sujin)
So tiring.
I was going to call you and ask where you were.
Because you said you would come.
That was tiring!
I waited an hour for you.
Thank you.
- Thank you for waiting for me. / - Sure.
Remember this place? We met for the first time.
- This is where you first met? / - Yes.
On the street?
Out on the street?
We met right here.
Let's go back 2 years.
(Jeff and Sujin met like they were destined)
Wow, it's like a drama.
Hello.
Can I stay with you under your umbrella?
Because it's raining a lot and I have no umbrella.
I just finished work from that place.
Oh, yeah. Why not?
What are you doing here?
I'm waiting for my friend.
She'll come here from the subway.
That's never happened to me.
That's so romantic.
We should go out on rainy days without umbrellas.
He went under her umbrella
and they became a couple.
My wife is very pretty.
And she's very understanding.
My English isn't that good,
but she's very patient with me.
I was into him at first because he's handsome.
But after dating him, I saw his passion.
He did whatever he could
to stay with me in Korea.
They were destined.
How was your day? Tiring?
- Really tiring. / - Yeah?
- Very tiring. / - Oh, dear...
Good work.
(Patting him on the back)
Tomorrow...
Tomorrow...
I'm working not!
What?
Is that a French joke?
"I'm working not?" What was that?
What do you say? I don't work tomorrow!
- I'm not working tomorrow. / - I'm not working.
"I'm working not." What was that?
They won't stop laughing.
Gosh, it's a good time for them.
(The shop that Sujin works at in Gangnam)
Sujin, where do you work?
At a makeup company.
A makeup company.
(Japanese customer)
(Indonesian customer)
Huh? What's going on?
We get customers from Indonesia.
- You speak Indonesian, Sujin? / - Yes.
(American customer)
She can speak English, Korean
and Indonesian.
Yeah, how many languages is that?
(Sujin works until late at night 6 days a week)
I've been here for over 3 years.
Do you like this work?
Yes. I worked at this makeup shop
for around 2 years.
Then I quit and got an office job.
But it wasn't a good fit, so I'm back here again.
I guess you enjoy interacting with people more.
That company should treat you well.
Sujin, you're so talented.
(Sujin takes out her lunch she packed from home)
It's tuna. My favorite.
We don't have a microwave, so the rice is hard.
So sad.
I can't mix it up.
It's expensive to eat out around here, isn't it?
Yes, it would be wasteful to eat out
and we have food at home.
So I tend to bring food to work.
(She's very frugal)
That is frugal, but I bet watching this
is breaking Jeff's heart.
(She studies French every day)
You study French to talk to your husband?
Yes, I'm learning now.
You're studying French?
Yes.
My in-laws are coming to Korean next April.
I promised them I'd speak to them in French.
- For her in-laws. / - So I'm studying.
- What a great daughter-in-law. / - How admirable.
It's really hard to learn French on your own.
- The pronunciation is difficult. / - Right.
Her husband can help her out.
(Sujin studies to keep her promise with her in-laws)
(A beautiful morning on a day off)
It's their day off.
I wonder what they'll do.
The chef studies Korean on his day off.
(Jeff gets ready to study Korean in the morning)
From now on, if you speak English...
- You get a head flick. Got it? / - Good.
- Nice. / - Alright.
You can't speak English.
I think he's going to get hit a lot.
Try reading this please.
Happy birthday.
What does it mean?
You can say the meaning in English.
- Happy birthday! / - Alright.
"Is this a grape?"
"No, it is not a grape."
"It is an apple."
- Good pronunciation. / - He sounds good.
Do you know what apple means?
I know apple and apple cider vinegar.
(Cracks up)
- Of course. / - Since he's a chef.
Start with father.
My father.
My father...
What does your father do?
What does your father do?
What does your father do?
You don't know?
It's hard for him.
Wait, I will speak English. You can hit me.
I don't know how to say what my father does.
I know it in French but I don't know in English.
He stays at a... At a desk.
With a computer and he does a lot of papers...
- An office worker. / - Office worker?
Okay.
First, you get hit.
(He needs to be punished first)
She won't take it easy on him.
(That was hard)
- You hit him hard. / - I did.
That could be a reason to get divorced.
(Upset)
That really hurt.
Wow, you really hate me.
You don't love me.
You don't like me?
Yeah, she definitely hates him.
- It's red! / - It left a mark.
(She's loving this)
I'm sure it's red now.
(A red mark can be clearly seen)
Sujin hits hard.
(A guest from Indonesia)
They got a visitor from Indonesia?
(Guests so early in the morning!)
- That's my mom. / - Your mom?
My mom and younger sister.
Hello.
- Your actual sister? / - Yes.
This is my little sister.
- The youngest. / - Right.
We're 12 years apart.
She's a moody teenager now.
- I am not! / - You will be next year.
(Sujin's mom, Anita)
- What's this? / - A gift from your aunt.
It's a bag.
Great.
I don't have a bag like this.
This is great.
I need a criminal record check
from Indonesia to become a Korean citizen.
The Korean police wants to see
if I got into any legal trouble in Indonesia.
So I applied for a criminal record check.
No problems?
Of course not. I've never committed a crime.
Your mother is good at Korean.
Her mom speaks like
a lady from Incheon.
Oh, she was born in Indonesia.
(Anita was born and raised in Indonesia)
So that's the story.
(She married Park Byeongbeom)
- The father is Korean? / - Yes.
Multi-cultural marriages were uncommon in the 90s.
Right.
(The couple started a family)
(Daughter Sujin is walking that same path now)
- You lived in Indonesia too, right? / - Yes.
When did you go and when did you come back?
I went to Indonesia when I was 6
and came back to Korea when I was 18.
You spent most of your childhood in Indonesia.
Right.
That's why my Korean isn't that good.
You're a great teacher.
They're newlyweds.
(You're the best, honey)
That's a warning!
Okay, okay.
Okay, okay.
Mom, I'll do the dishes.
Can you take care of that?
I should wipe this down first.
Geez... It's crusted with food.
All mothers are the same.
(Scrubbing)
I thought you're good at cooking, Jeff.
How come you've never made anything for me?
Yeah, he should cook for her.
- She's upset. / - I thought you're good at cooking.
(Mother, please be good to me)
(Sujin interprets)
(You'd better have a good answer!)
Because she always cooks for me.
It's because you always make a ton of food, mom.
You should've cooked for her first.
At least once.
(I shouldn't have brought it up)
Next time, cook for her.
(Nods)
He said he'll cook for you next time, mom.
Mirin?
- What's that? / - Mirin in a frying pan?
- Why? / - My mom made a mistake.
Sujin, where's the cooking oil?
I don't see it.
The bottles look similar. The oil and mirin.
And similar colors.
(Sujin finds cooking oil for her mom)
What was that?
- That's cooking wine. / - Cooking wine.
(She's frying up dumplings from Indonesia)
What is she making?
They're called tempe.
- Indonesian dumplings? / - Yes.
They're filled with egg.
- Oh, there's egg inside? / - It's really good.
(After trying a bite)
I haven't had that in so long.
My younger sister made these in Indonesia.
She made them for Sujin.
What's this? Why is he eating that?
That's what he always eats.
He doesn't eat anything else for breakfast.
Were you shocked when Sujin
first introduced you to Jeff?
Of course.
I first saw him from the second floor.
He had a lot of tattoos!
Oh, dear.
But my daughter really liked him.
He's a sweet guy.
You should date a French guy too.
The younger sister
seems really flustered.
Marry a French man.
(Sujin interprets)
Mother-in-law, Anita.
- Let's bring her in. / - Come on in.
- Hello. / - Hello.
She's such a pretty woman.
She looks young.
Now we're seeing more pieces of the puzzle.
Sujin's father went to Indonesia for business.
And he fell for the beautiful Anita.
Right.
How did you feel
when Sujin first brought Jeff home...
And said they were getting married?
Jeff came to Korea alone.
They met like how I met my husband.
Considering my own experience, I was okay with it.
And Jeff is a sweet guy,
so I thought I should be nice to him.
- Is your mother-in-law nice to you? / - Yes.
Like how?
My mother-in-law is a great cook.
She makes me Indonesian vegetable dishes.
(My name is Buchu)
(Mapo, Seoul)
- They're on a date on their day off. / - Yes.
(They spend their day off together)
- You two seem like you're still dating. / - They do.
(Where are they taking these drinks?)
Where are they going?
Buchu.
Hi, Buchu.
Buchu?
- Buchu. / - Buchu?
Yes.
The cat's name is Buchu?
- Yes. / - Hello.
(The guest house that Jeff lived in)
- It's Buchu. / - Hello, Buchu.
This is for you.
- It's Buchu! / - How cute!
(An Seonyeong is a good friend)
(Buchu is 2 years old)
How cute!
Who named the cat?
I named her. You remember me?
Gosh, she's like a puppy.
We found her when she was a baby
behind a lot of wood and trash.
I heard screaming and crying outside.
They took in a street cat.
Under the wood, I discovered one little cat.
Jeff has a big heart.
He's so sweet.
(Jeff has loved animals since he was in France)
All animal lovers are good people.
(They even do protests for animal rights as a couple)
His love for animals made him a vegan.
I don't want to eat meat anymore.
I don't even want to wear leather.
I don't want animals to get hurt for any reason.
So I want to open a vegan restaurant
where people can enjoy meat substitutes.
I want to show people.
(What is Jeff's other dream as a vegan?)
Making business together.
He really wanted to open a business,
but the problem is money
because first we have to have a home
and we have to have babies too.
That's what she thinks.
After we have a baby and the baby grows up
and goes to school,
we can start planning to open a business.
You're thinking about 10 years later?
Exactly. That's what she thinks, it's her plan.
Me, I think totally different.
You'll work in the kitchen for 10 years?
For her, first is big home, baby, big TV.
- Big car, big washing machine... Big... / - No.
- Everything big. / - Before that, big house.
Yeah, before everything, she wants a house.
- To live comfortably. / - That's not true!
- Normal home. / - And afterwards...
Maybe we'll open a business in 10 years.
It's not in 10 years!
How long will it take?
Anyway, I will keep my motivation.
I don't need a big home.
Just a normal home. And a normal car.
Okay, how about making a business really small.
Like this size?
- It's okay. / - Anyway, we still have no money for that.
You have me.
What a great friend.
I will not work with you.
This will be our business.
So you're the chef.
I'm the boss.
You're the marketing manager.
(A few days later)
(Jeff always goes to vegetable shops)
Vegetables are so expensive.
He wouldn't eat meat since he's a vegan.
(No plastic bags!)
(He always tries to develop recipes in his free time)
- What's he making? / - He's coming up with recipes.
(Serious)
- He's putting a lot of work into it. / - Yes.
(Jeff is always working to achieve his dream)
He's even doing research.
(Boiled)
- Isn't that meat? / - Are they beans?
(Stir-frying)
It's made of beans.
- Beans. / - Oh!
It looks like meat, but it isn't.
In this business plan, I write everything that
I will need when I open.
First for me, I write the concept.
I make introduction and then,
I make inventory for the kitchen.
Everything you need in the kitchen.
Little stuff like knives.
No, it's my recipe.
- I don't want to show you. / - You can't show.
Maybe it's very good. Maybe it's not good at all,
but it's for me. It's a secret.
He's so thorough.
- A perfectionist. / - Since he was a bodyguard.
He works until late at night.
(Jeff's nights are as beautiful as his days!)
(The next day)
You two take the bus?
Yes, we don't have a car yet.
I take the subway.
Really?
(We want to be closer)
He has flowers.
Where are they going with those flowers?
(Sujin's parents' house in Bupyeong, Incheon)
Oh... Sujin's parents' house.
To meet the man so advanced
that he married internationally in 1993.
Right.
(Bok choy instead of a chicken?)
He's my only son-in-law.
Right, since her son-in-law is a vegan.
I want to make him something good.
But he doesn't eat meat.
Bok choy and tofu are delicious too.
- It's really good. / - It sure is.
That looks great.
Just add some oyster sauce. It's delicious.
(She makes Indonesian anchovy stir-fry for Sujin)
Jeff, do you eat seafood?
No, no.
Anchovies are too small to be considered as seafood.
Try some of this.
(Jeff's father-in-law is the taster)
He's the one that tastes the food.
- The royal taster. / - The royal taster.
(A big smile appears on his face)
(How will it taste?)
Is it salty or not?
It's kind of bland.
- What if it's too salty? / - Just add a little.
Mix it up for me.
(Jeff and Sujin arrive just then)
- We're here. / - Hello, mother.
I have a gift.
Thank you!
I really like that.
When European guys give you flowers.
Bringing a bouquet is part of French culture.
Whether it's a date or wherever.
- I see. / - You bring flowers.
Father, this is for you.
(You shouldn't have)
Thanks.
You got him alcohol?
It's dad's favorite.
Are vegans allowed to drink?
I don't think that matters.
How's everything?
How's everything?
Great.
- Now ask him. / - And you?
- And you, father? / - And you, father?
- It's the same. / - It's the same?
He looks like a kind man.
Did your Korean improve?
No.
You should study more.
Once you learn Korean,
we can talk on the phone.
That would be fun.
Right.
(Nods)
This is a lot of food.
(A meal made with love from Anita)
Since you don't eat meat...
Try this.
Jeff likes this.
It's delicious.
And this.
She's putting all the vegetable sides near Jeff.
So considerate.
(Mushrooms, tofu, potatoes, tuna, anchovies)
(No meat)
It seems like something's missing without meat.
I bet his father-in-law doesn't like that.
(Sujin and Jeff both love Anita's cooking)
Do you like your mother-in-law's cooking?
Yes, her food is delicious.
(An Indonesian snack made from a dried banana)
A dried banana?
Yes, it's an Indonesian snack.
(Awkward)
It's hard for those two...
To have a conversation.
(Mr. Park starts talking first)
When are you going to have a baby?
When?
When?
When are you going to have a baby?
A baby.
He can't wait.
Dear... Come talk to your father.
Later.
- Later? / - Later?
Not later. In the future.
In the future.
Later. That's funny.
- At home. / - Later.
(Jeff wants Sujin to answer)
When will we have a baby?
Next year. We should have one next year.
Get a house first.
(Interpreting for Jeff)
You should think a bit harder
about the business you want to open.
(His father-in-law gives him some good advice)
I tried to start a business 3 times
and failed each time.
He has experience.
You have to really think about
every little detail seriously.
I knew all that, yet my businesses still failed.
Right. He's worried.
(Listening seriously)
(What is Jeff thinking now?)
I'm sure he's nervous about his son-in-law...
- Wanting to start a business. / - Yeah.
My father-in-law is right.
He has experience in business.
He's been successful and he's failed.
So I think he gave me some good advice.
But sometimes, I should go with my instincts.
If I listened to what everyone said,
I wouldn't even be in Korea now.
He's really good at making pizzas.
- Pizza is great. / - It looks so good!
(Sweating)
(Jeff works harder after visiting his in-laws)
He has a lot on his mind after having that talk.
Now he's focused on working.
(Who is this guest that shows up?)
(It's Fabian!)
Fabian.
- Who is that handsome guy? / - I know him.
He's always showing up on TV.
- He goes to Itaewon often. / - Yes.
Since they're friends.
I should try his food.
- Remember me? / - Of course.
- You still go to that gym? / - No.
A different one?
When we first met,
that was my second time at that gym.
I'm good at French, aren't I?
Better than I thought.
That was in early 2017, before I got married.
You got married?
I got married since I last saw you.
That's awesome.
I decided to marry my wife
6 months after meeting you.
Congratulations.
He was a bachelor when we first met.
Really?
(Jeff gets chatty since he can speak French now)
Jeff is a chatty guy. I had no idea.
He really wanted to speak French.
So that's why.
(Jeff goes back to cooking after getting an order)
When French people meet up,
we get really chatty. Even men.
(He makes some loaded fries for his friend, Fabian)
Those fries look amazing.
They look so good!
Wow!
(This is Fabian's first time trying Jeff's cooking)
I'm French, so I know about French fries.
I'm going to try this now.
(How does it taste?)
(Amazed)
It's too bad you're a vegan. This is delicious.
Thank you!
It was delicious.
And it clogged my arteries.
Since it was so good?
What do you want to do in Korea?
A lot of stuff.
I only see good things in Korea.
I'm not pessimistic here at all.
I'm so determined.
It feels like I have so many opportunities.
The land of opportunity.
Right, being determined opens a lot of doors.
Be determined and active as you work.
If I worked with this kind of determination in France,
I still wouldn't succeed.
Korea is where determined young people succeed.
Everyone's so critical in France.
There's a lot of pain in our society.
There are no optimistic people in France.
If you really want something desperately in Korea,
there's nothing that can stop you.
I love that Korea doesn't have those obstacles.
Young people think very differently.
The young people of Korea...
Tend to be really negative.
I bet that conversation gave you a lot to think about.
Koreans are a bit critical,
since this is their country.
If I lived in the Silla era,
I'd never be able to succeed
because of the bone rank system.
- What kind of system? / - What?
Fabian is very knowledgeable.
Since you've never heard of that...
These days, young foreigners that come to Korea
think that they can succeed if they work hard.
Yes, it's hard to live in Korea as a foreigner.
But there are more opportunities to succeed.
Is it hard for a foreigner to be successful in France?
It's very hard to run a business there.
The process is very complicated and lengthy.
It also costs a lot of money
and France is known for taxes.
If you want to run a business...
You have to pay your employees, pay taxes
and a bunch of other expenses.
- You'll be bankrupt in no time. / - It's hard.
I've never ran a business in Korea,
but some of my friends do.
It's not as complicated.
If something doesn't work, just get rid of it.
There's a lot more flexibility.
We didn't realize that Korea had all these opportunities,
but now we got a foreigner's perspective.
(Vegan cooking school)
- They have vegan cooking schools? / - Really?
(Jeff's hands?)
(He starts cooking at an unfamiliar place)
What are you making?
For the meat...
You're making meat with that powder?
We can also call it the food of Buddha.
It's from China.
And the texture and taste are like meat.
Hello.
We have several programs.
(Jeff wants to be a licensed vegan chef)
He can make burgers and pasta.
He can make any recipe he finds online.
(What's Jeff making?)
30g of protein in 100g of this.
This step is very important for the texture
because I will boil it for an hour and 30 minutes.
A lot of people can eat that.
If you don't tell them it's vegan, they'll think it's meat.
"Maybe it's chicken or beef?" They don't know.
(Really?)
(Jeff's vegan meat has a nice texture)
It looks like a pork cutlet.
He's using whey protein to make that.
You can also use beans or tofu.
What Jeff's making should have
a chewy texture that's closer to meat.
(Even the expert is impressed by Jeff's recipe)
(Suspicious, excited)
(Now he's really starting to cook)
(Another guest arrives?)
It's the guy from the guest house.
(He wants to try Jeff's food as his business partner)
What are you doing?
I made kebabs.
- Kebabs. / - Kebabs?
And oriental bread.
A lot of places in Itaewon sell kebabs.
- But not vegan kebabs. / - Yes, that's my idea.
People eat kebabs for the meat.
Right, it's all about the meat.
You know the same brand with the curry in it?
Yeah, thin bread and this is the meat.
- Is it meat? / - Yeah.
- You made meat? / - I'm serious.
(For real?)
(You're going to love it)
(Jeff starts cooking faster)
(How will Jeff's vegan kebab taste?)
- Made by a French man. / - So pretty.
It looks like meat.
- Looks so nice. / - Looks tasty.
What a cool French chef!
(100% vegan with no milk, eggs or meat)
- It really looks like meat. / - Let's work together!
(This dish represents Jeff's dream)
Enjoy.
Thank you for the food.
They look really nice.
But how will they taste?
It's delicious.
(They finally try the kebabs)
I feel like that guy will be really objective.
Since he knows it isn't meat.
(What will the vegan cooking expert say?)
- This is like meat. / - Really?
(A big success!)
It tastes good even to a meat lover.
- I wonder how it tastes. / - It's 90% like meat.
Thank you very much.
I knew it, but if I didn't know that,
I would think this is meat.
Usually, I don't tell.
Thank you very much.
Are you happy now?
It's fine.
(Did Sujin change her opinion after trying this?)
There are no vegan kebabs in Korea.
The cooking teacher tried it and so did our friend.
They both said it was delicious.
So now, I think opening a business is a good idea.
This is the food alley in Itaewon.
It's this way.
They're putting their plan into action.
They're looking for a location.
Business is great here.
I think this is a good spot.
- Here? / - Yes.
This place...
I want to open our business now!
Give us some money!
Look how excited Sujin is.
(Sujin seems more excited than Jeff)
It's very cozy and clean.
(Will Jeff's dream come true?)
- The place is huge. / - It's really big.
It's a lot bigger than what I had in mind.
We were thinking of a smaller place,
so this place is great.
This is a great piece of property in Itaewon.
- That place would cost a lot. / - Yes.
Can I see the kitchen?
Would you like to see the kitchen?
This is the kitchen.
It's fully stocked with plates and tongs.
There's a grill.
So when you're cooking,
let's say you make burgers...
It's great for grilling.
(He's even checking under there?)
What's under there?
I saw a cockroach.
It's small, but it's very good.
It matches me
because I want to work alone in the kitchen.
I want to do everything on that place.
Bam, bam, bam. Very good.
And when it's ready, poof.
I don't have to run everywhere. I can work alone.
It's good.
I'll lock up here.
- Thank you. / - Thank you.
(The couple leaves with some regrets)
(They're finally working towards their dream)
Great night view.
(They have the same goal now)
There's a place like that in Itaewon?
So nice!
Seoul is the most beautiful at night.
I want to live in Itaewon too.
How nice.
(They met by chance and ended up marrying)
(This couple will grow together)
It's kind of funny.
Before, my dream was to travel in Korea.
And then I traveled in Korea.
After that, my dream was to come back to Korea
and stay for one year.
And then I met you.
And I stayed in Korea with you.
I had a lot of dreams.
What a romantic guy.
So next step is to open a business.
That's good.
(We'll be rooting for Jeff and Sujin's dreams)
I felt like I just watched a drama.
Sayuri seems so envious.
I'm going to walk around Itaewon
after today's shoot.
With Sayuri?
I want to try that fake meat that Jeff made.
You shouldn't call it fake meat.
The kebab.
I'd really like to try that.
If it tastes really good,
it would be a great business item.
He woke up early today.
I was still asleep
and I heard him cooking in the kitchen.
- Really? / - Yes.
- You brought food? / - Yes.
- You did? / - Yes.
(Hurray for Jeff)
I was really hungry.
This is amazing.
The kebabs we saw in the clip.
They look just like they did in the clip.
We'll try it now.
Chef Jeff is serving us himself.
I bet everyone that watches this will be curious.
I'm really excited.
It looks just like meat.
- You didn't use any dairy for the sauce? / - No.
It looks like grilled meat.
It looks exactly like meat.
- Let's eat. / - Cheers.
Tell us after you try it.
(How do the vegan kebabs taste?)
The texture is just like meat.
If nobody told me, I'd think it was meat.
I want the one with a lot of meat.
(The two hosts eat like professional eaters)
This is just like meat!
My gosh!
It tastes like meat that isn't tough at all.
The texture is just like meat...
Like tenderloin that melts in your mouth.
- It isn't tough. / - It's like tenderloin.
So this is what it tastes like.
(Everyone loves the vegan kebabs)
It's really delicious.
The sauce is really unique.
This sauce is delicious.
It's so good.
(Another person tries the kebab!)
It's your first time eating Jeff's cooking?
It's a historical day.
Tell us what you think.
It's delicious.
- Really. / - Thank you.
- You think these will sell? / - Yes.
I think they'll do well.
Let's go into business together.
Seokcheon's opinion is really important.
Of course for meat lovers,
this would taste better with meat.
Meat has that fatty taste.
You taste the fat.
But I think it's a great idea
that you made something
with this texture for the vegans.
I'm so happy now.
I consider Seokcheon to be one of Korea's
most influential chefs.
I like his restaurants.
I enjoy going to his restaurants in Itaewon.
They serve vegetarian dishes, so I go often.
He really praised you a lot,
so I don't want to translate it.
(No praises)
- He said something really nice? / - Yes.
I'll see you in Itaewon!
When you run a business...
Even if it's a great idea...
Opening up a shop is a whole different story.
So he should think about it more
and keep working on his recipes.
As long as he can make delicious dishes like this...
- A lot of people will love his food. / - I think so too.
Now that I heard from everyone,
I think my husband is a great cook.
I want to work hard to make money,
so we can open a restaurant soon.
I will work very hard for that.
We will be good and independent.
We'll work together.
And stay together and do something you like together.
Okay?
Don't ever stop holding hands.
So...
We'd like to thank Anita, Sujin and Jeff for being here.
That's our show for today.
We'll see you all next time.
- Good-bye. / - Good-bye.
2, 3.
Good-bye!
