NCT and Stray Kids are set to light up the variety scene with their upcoming appearance on JTBC's Please Take Care of My Refrigerator (Chef & My Fridge).
Mark and Chenle of NCT, along with Lee Know and Felix of Stray Kids, will appear on the September 14 broadcast, bringing their humor, energy, and genuine love of cooking to the show.
Behind-the-Scenes Friendship and Fan Moments
Producers revealed, "These globally loved idols captured the set with their lively presence from the moment they arrived. They'll also share stories of how their friendship grew."
The episode will feature the refrigerators of Mark and Chenle. Despite their packed schedules, the two made time for the show, with Mark sharing, "We came straight off an overseas schedule, taking a red-eye flight just to be here."
Chenle proved to be one of the show's biggest fans. "I never miss an episode," he said, joking, "My goal today is to get all the chefs' phone numbers," which drew laughter on set.
Chenle's Passion for Cooking
The broadcast will also highlight Chenle's genuine interest in the culinary world. Chef Kim Poong shared that Chenle constantly asked about how to join the show during a previous web variety project. Chef Choi Hyun-seok added, "Chenle once sent me a DM, and ever since, he's asked me more cooking questions than my own restaurant apprentices."
Mark confirmed Chenle's enthusiasm: "Whenever I visit Chenle's place, Chef & My Fridge is always playing. I became a fan through him."
The chefs were impressed by the variety of ingredients in Chenle's fridge, from hot pot sauces to premium Chinese condiments rarely seen outside of restaurants.
Please Take Care of My Refrigerator featuring NCT and Stray Kids will air on September 14 at 9 p.m. KST.
