Celebrity chef Edward Lee revealed that he has become a member of BTS global fandom, known as ARMY, after cooking for Jin and sharing a memorable moment together.
On Wednesday, Lee posted a screenshot from the 31st episode of JTBC’s “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator 2” on social media, recalling the time he prepared a special mulhoe, a kind of chilled raw fish soup, for Jin. “Cooking my version of mulhoe with watermelon for Jin,” Lee wrote. “Thank you to the BTS ARMY for all your kind messages. I am officially a member!”
The accompanying photos showed Lee proudly wearing a T-shirt printed with Jin’s face and posing for a cheerful selfie alongside the BTS member. Fans were quick to respond with excitement, leaving comments such as, “From ‘Culinary Class Wars’ to ‘Worldwide Handsome,’ what a journey!” and “You’re the best!”
The 53-year-old chef gained recognition last year after finishing as the runner-up on the Netflix original cooking competition “Culinary Class Wars.” He later appeared on “You Quiz on the Block” and “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator.” Since February, he has been a cast member on tvN’s “Edward Lee’s Country Cook.”
