On the MBC entertainment program “Half-star Hotel In Lost Island”, which aired on September 30, the operation of a 0.5-star deserted island was shown, led by Kim Dae-ho, the president of the Meoguri Association, along with Park Joon-hyung, Kwon Eun-bi, Kim Nam-il, and chef Austin Kang. In the studio, CEO Ahn Jung-hwan, Boom, Yang Ji-eun, and Lee Jang-jun from Golden Child watched and shared stories.
Chef and model Austin Kang, who appeared for the first time on “Half-star Hotel In Lost Island”, grabbed everyone’s attention with his warm appearance right from the start. Austin Kang is not only known for his good looks but also his impressive culinary skills. As a fusion chef proficient in various cuisines like Western, French, and Korean dishes, his presence heightened expectations for new deserted island recipes.
Austin Kang’s first dish on the island was a snack for the workers. For this, he pulled out the secret weapon that he calls “his life,” which was none other than “5-year-aged kimchi.” It turns out Austin Kang makes 5,000 heads of kimchi every year. It’s rumored that he insists on adding beef bone broth as a special secret to his kimchi.
Meanwhile, Kim Nam-il attempted vegetable prep for the first time that day. His hidden chopping skills amazed everyone. Ahn Jung-hwan shared insights into Kim Nam-il’s daily life, “Nam-il claims he doesn’t do household chores, but whenever I call, I can hear pots boiling or the washing machine stopping.”
Austin Kang’s real talent shone when he prepared a feast for the guests. Kwon Eun-bi, in particular, was moved, expressing her delight with a blissful expression after tasting his food. Park Joon-hyung, unable to resist his hunger, also hurriedly scooped up the remaining food with his hands.
Moreover, Kim Dae-ho, president of the Meoguri Association, attempted cooking for the first time that day as well. Introducing himself confidently as “the eldest son of a duck bulgogi restaurant,” Kim Dae-ho proudly shared his secret sauce recipe. Even Chef Austin Kang couldn’t help but praise it, “It’s truly delicious.”
