Yangrak Choi, the owner of Pocha, said, “This is my 42nd year, and this is my first time as the owner of Pocha. Recently, I was pushed down by the up-and-coming Hyunsook Pang and was relegated to an assistant, but I felt that I could not live like this, so I became the president and Hyunsuk Pang became the chef. That in itself is meaningful.” “I think,” he said.
Choi Yang-rak, who shows off his unique sharp talk, is responsible for making viewers laugh by even understanding what kind of person the customer is. In particular, we present ‘Yangrakkase’, which is customizable to the owner’s taste, reflecting each guest’s tastes, such as the types of alcohol they cannot drink and food allergies. Yang-rak Choi explained, “I thought that street stalls were a place where people could talk about the joys and sorrows of a drink without feeling pressured, so I focused on that.”
Chef Pang Hyeon-sook said, “I was very worried while filming ‘Kkanjuk Pocha’. Yang-rak Choi said that if ‘Kkanjuk Pocha’ didn’t work out, I would have to rest at home. In my own way, I have a national certification in Korean, Western, and Chinese cuisine, so I can cook most things. I can. It’s my 34th year in business. I failed more than 10 times, but I didn’t give in and took on the challenge. I did it with the mindset that Yang-rak Choi should succeed. When filming, I stood for 10 to 11 hours, and it was fine until the 3rd episode, but by the 4th or 5th episode, I started bleeding. “I did that. I worked so hard. Lastly, I worked with the mindset of ‘this is it or I die,’ with the thought of helping my husband. I think I did my best,” she said, expressing her determination to work on ‘Kkanjukpocha’.
Lee Sang-jun and Yoo Ji-ae will serve as employees. Choi Yang-rak said, “I am the type of person who is picky among comedians, but there is no junior who can compete with Lee Sang-jun. I felt that our choice was right. I also thought it would be nice to have a bright friend, and I ended up choosing the refreshing Yoo Ji-ae as an employee. She also practiced cooking at home a lot. “,” he said, explaining the reason for hiring the two people as employees.
Then Lee Sang-jun said, “This is a program that can make people who need a laugh laugh a lot. I think the elderly who liked the original Kkanjuk Pocha will also like it, but I am also famous for making Kkanjuk Pocha. Please watch ‘Kkanjuk Pocha’ at home instead of going to another pocha.” “I thought I wanted to marry a comedian when I saw Choi Yang-rak and Pang Hyeon-sook. Now, the only person left is Lee Guk-ju,” he joked.
Yoo Ji-ae, who went from being a K-pop idol to becoming an employee at Pocha, expressed satisfaction, saying, “I’ve never worked as a part-time employee since I was an idol, but it was fun to be able to work with cool and fun seniors. There were difficult situations, but even those were fun to deal with.”
Above all, the chemistry between Choi Yang-rak and Pang Hyeon-sook is of interest. Pang Hyeon-sook said, “Yang-rak Choi is from Chungcheong-do and I am from Gyeongsang-do. How difficult it must have been. We lived with consideration for each other. I hope Yang-rak Choi gets good results. The pillar of our family is Yang-rak Choi. If Yang-rak Choi can do well, this whole body will be broken. “Even if I go to the Himalayas, I have the confidence to make soybean paste stew and bean sprout soup. We lived well as a lovebird couple without any major problems. Everyone else got divorced and we were the only ones who survived,” he said, making everyone burst into laughter.
Expectations are high on what kind of fun snacks ‘Kkanjuk Pocha’, run by lovebird couple Choi Yang-rak and Pang Hyeon-sook, will bring to the living room. MBN’s new entertainment program ‘Kkanjukpocha’ will be broadcast for the first time on the 16th at 8:20 PM.
