Actor Namkoong Min Makes Surprise Visit to Chef Lee Yeon-bok's New Project

Actor Namkoong Min is set to appear on KBS 2TV's variety show "Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant." The episode airs at 8:30 p.m. KST and centers on a new project from chef Lee Yeon-bok.

In a preview clip, Lee unveils a new space he has built for the show. "Welcome. This is the only 'Bokdeokbang' in Korea," he says, referring to the traditional Korean term for a neighborhood real estate office. He adds that he "spent a lot of money" on the space, teasing viewers about what it actually is.

The first guest through the door is Namkoong Min. According to the show, the actor looked visibly thrown off after stepping into the mystery "Bokdeokbang," setting up one of the episode's key moments.

Comedian Kim Won-hoon also joins the segment as Lee's right-hand man. On meeting Namkoong Min for the first time, he blurts out, "You're really handsome in person." His quick-witted commentary is expected to drive much of the episode's humor.

Namkoong Min, who is married to actor Jin A-reum, recently announced that the couple is expecting their first child.

"Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant" airs at 8:30 p.m. KST.
