An update on Choi Kang-rok, the winner of Netflix’s cooking competition Culinary Class Wars 2 (also known as Black and White Chef 2), has drawn attention after a rare group photo was shared on social media.

Chef Jung Ho-young recently posted a photo on his Instagram showing himself dining with fellow chefs, including Choi Kang-rok, Lee Yeon-bok, Kim Do-yoon, Oh Se-deuk, Sam Kim, and Song Hoon.

Captioning the image, Jung wrote, “It was great fun spending time with fellow chefs after a long while,” and described the gathering as a “meeting of 냉부 chefs and Black and White Chef chefs,” referencing popular Korean cooking programs.

The post quickly attracted a wave of comments, with particular focus on Choi’s appearance. Many viewers expressed excitement at seeing the Culinary Class Wars 2 champion again, with comments such as “I want to see Chef Choi Kang-rok back on TV” and “Hope he appears on Please Take Care of My Refrigerator.” Several of these remarks garnered hundreds of likes.

Choi’s low public profile since winning the show has only fueled fan curiosity, making this brief glimpse into his recent activities especially noteworthy.
