Cable channel tvN's upcoming variety show, "Jinny's Kitchen," will be released on the global over-the-top (OTT) service, Prime Video.
The Korean channel announced Friday that the first episode of "Jinny's Kitchen," starring Korean celebrities as they run a restaurant in Bacalar, Mexico, will hit Prime Video and its own streaming platform Tving on Feb. 24.
Subscribers of Prime Video in the U.S., the U.K, Canada, Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam can watch "Jinny's Kitchen" every Friday beginning from Feb. 24. Subscribers in other countries will be able to watch it later this spring.
"Jinny's Kitchen" is a spin-off of star producer Na Young-seok's 2017-18 reality show, "Youn's Kitchen," lead by Oscar-winning actress Youn Yuh-jung as she operates a Korean restaurant in Indonesia and Spain with actors including Lee Seo-jin and Jung Yu-mi.
In "Jinny's Kitchen," Lee will appear as the owner of a Korean street food restaurant offering gimbap (dried seaweed rice roll with various fillings) and tteokbokki (spicy stir-fried rice cake dish) among others. Also joining the show are Jung, V of K-pop juggernaut BTS and actors Park Seo-joon and Choi Woo-shik.
"The cast members of our show cooked food by themselves and worked very hard during the filming," the production team of "Jinny's Kitchen," said. "Please look forward to seeing the five stars, who will strive to satisfy the taste buds of customers in an unfamiliar place. We hope we can bring laughter to viewers at home and aboard."
